Sayonara Doulos..

Yup its true that comes 25th October, Doulos will be saying sayonara to Sabah as this would be their last visit to this part of the world...not only that, the 93 year old ship will hang its anchor and retire very soon. My only regret is not being able to bring our precious Ethan to visit this ship which I've known since I was a kiddo. Due to the hot and humid weather, Duolos would be a bit too hot, stuffy and crowded for a 4.5 months old baby. Nevertheless, I managed to grabbed some really good bargains of children books for our little prince which I shall do another entry after this ;p

Anyway, together with two of my colleagues (we met up with my SIL and nephew Joshua at the ship afterwards), we visited this historical ship yesterday during the long lunch hours.

I shall write no more and let the pictures below to tell you the story...

Masa sia pigi Doulos on 15th Oct, tukoi the queue was like 50metres pjg baa! When i'm done, the queue laaaaggii pjg-100metres! Met Rosalinda Ismail lagi masa dia berbaris..

The books are so cheap compare to our local bookstores, kan. Sia mo pi lagi as i wanna get the reference books yg RM10/each tu. Dulu Doulos dtg tahun 1989, masa kita Form 5. Sebelah si Hayati tu bukan Convent juga?
