Dari Mini handicraft tadi, kami terus jer ber gps ke Muzeum petroleum. Rupa2nya xdak la jauh sgt pun. Tapi perjalanan ke sana agak mencabar sebab muzeum tu terbina di atas bukit. Best sgt view kat sana sbb boleh nampak hampir keseluruhan Bandar Miri.

Masa kat muzeum tu terserempak dgn geng2 sukma dari Negeri Pahang. Mula2 malu nak tegur, masing2 tolak kat si Fifa sbb dia org pahang kan. Dah tegur2 tu siap depa ajak bergambar sama2 lagi. Rupa2nya depa ni team kapal layar. Seronok sungguh depa dapat jalan2 kat Sarawak yer.

org depan nak beraksi ayu
tapi org belakang jadi macam2
bising dia kat kami....hahahaaa

sebelum turun dari muzium tu kami ke bahagian bukit yg sebelah lagi
ada kampung rupanya kat atas tu
sejuk jer atas tu...paling best ada dua pemandangan yg berbeza
dari satu sudut, pembangunan bandar miri
lagi satu pulak kehijauan yang masih terpelihara....mmg best!

Asal selpie mesti dia yg kena amik
sian dia.....terserlah kekembangan hidung tu :)

Banyak sungguh kami bergambar kat sini. Kalau boleh setiap sudut nak abadikan kenangan. X cukup2 berposing. Tak lama lps tu cuaca mula mendung dan hujan renyai2. Baru la kami berhenti bergambar dan bersiap untuk balik :)
