dDoinkster Speaks

After MIJF 2006, a few of us were sent on a short holiday at Royal Mulu Resort with a Sarawak Tourism Board [STB] representative. I'm really thankful that we clicked right away with each other and we had a blast! Guys and ladies, we have to meet up again soon. Else we'll just meet up again at MIJF 2007. So early Sunday morning, the 6 of us was taken on the Fokker 50 to Mulu. It was one hot plane...and I mean it was very hot inside the plane. Most of us were sweating when we arrived at Mulu. The airport was very casual and laid-back. You could see clothes hanging outside the airport communication tower. I was half-expecting to see kids playing on the landing strip. Facing the airport, I assume that's the house of the person in-charged of the airport. He had paved a pathway right from his house to the airport. Talk about easy access. Now how could I forget to take a photo of the welcome sign. Whee, I was at Mulu. This is by far the most unbelievable sight I've seen so far in Sarawak. Now how's that for a balancing act? Everybody's luggage on one cart. Better don't bring anything fragile to Miri unless you don't intend to check in any of your luggages. It's quite refreshing to be at a place where everything is so laid-back and slow. There's only a handful of vehicles in Mulu and it's a fantastic feeling compared to the hustle and bustle of KL. FYI, the resort is really nice...with a spa, a swimming pool and loads of activities for you to check out. Checking in was pretty quick, thank goodness. Maybe also we had a STB rep with us, that's why things flowed so well. Thank you very much for everything, Letitia. It was a pleasure to have met you and have you with us on the trip. Huge room for just me. Each of us got our own room and 2 queen sized beds. It was great! And the view...paradise. Ok,so the photo can't really show you much and also you can't hear the forest around...so all I can say is 'you had to be there'. You can see that they tried their best to blend technology into Mulu's natural surroundings. Didn't do a very good job but if there's isn't the satellite dish, we won't be getting astro on our TVs.
