I've been home for a month and more! It was since last year, left home for studies, skipped a Chinese new year celebration :( Anyway, some thoughts and pictures to share!
First of all, my home - Tawau, Sabah! One might not know of this place, it's somewhere at south east of Sabah, a small busy town, not much of tall buildings, with hours of traffic jam sometimes, humongous estates all over places, an airport for sure, no more tree-top houses, cheap seafoods, Philippine market, scarce car park, brilliant foods, and Nice people :)

This is the land of Borneo - Sabah |
Food in Tawau is more or less the same like in KK, mainly it's the pork noodle! There're still something extra to share ;)
|
Lemonade |
We call it Lemon 'Sui' Ping - A light squeeze of lemon with add-on of sugar syrup, simply refreshing!

My short stay in Tawau was great, feel bad that I have to leave for classes in KL. Get to enjoy with my cousins, uncles and aunt, grandparent, and friends! Expecting Chinese New Year, so that I can get home, expecting another summer break, so that I can get home!
Tawau, a place I call Home! Proud to be Sabahan, Tawau-ian! We survived days and weeks without water and electricity, we survived floods and heavy storms, we are the Best!
