Lumut again

Went to lumut again this week. This is the fifth time already and there is one more to go. I really dread going there because the journey on the car is like 8 hours. I really hate sitting on the car for so long. Too bad its for work and I cant do anything about it. The red line marks the journey to Lumut. Its almost three quarter the length of Malaysia. This is the final installation trip for my site work. After installing the anodes, this seems to be the moment of truth. It is the time to check whether what we have done for the past 3 months are working. Its really stressful. Going through each of the test stations and taking the readings. Sadly, most of the readings are below expectation. There are so many uncontrollable factors at site and I can only hope that one month later, I will get better readings after everything stabilises. If not there will be a whole lot of shit work...writing reports, remedial actions...excavation work...blah blah...its not going to be pretty.

The only consolation about my trip to Lumut each time is that I get to eat seafood..for free! Hehe. We will drive around and try different places for lunch and dinner. Some were good some were bad but most important its free....lol ...Sounds like a typical cheapo.

The seafood "restaurant" are all at these kind of kampong kampong houses. Not really my idea of a restaurant. Basically you dine with lots of flies around you sometimes mosquitoes as well.





Black Pepper Crab!! I love crab...somehow I think its not as nice as those I tried in Singapore.

Egg yolk prawns

That funny looking thing on the left is fried oyster. So different from Singapore version. Its very crispy but taste abit bland.

Asam stingray...this one is nice...very fresh ..not too spicy for me. hehe

We ate at so many places but I only remember to take these few dishes...lol. Anyhow, still got another trip to go :( Maybe will take more photos next time.
