First Sandakan driving outstation trip this year

in teammalaysia •  7 years ago  (edited)

Last week was a pretty hectic week for me and totally no time for me to update Steemit. So what I am busy for the last whole week? Lets me tell you one by one.

Basically this is the first time I am driving a 3 tons truck for such a long distances. It is from Kota Kinabalu (which is our Sabah capital City) to Sandakan (people called it "little Hong Kong because most of the chinese is speaking cantonese). Why it is so called challenging for me? Firstly, it is because this journey will take you 7 hours. Secondly, most of the road is uphill and road condition is not good nowadays. So for me this is the quite challenging part for me. Secondly, the truck that i driving is consider not very powerful, so when it comes to uphill, it will be super struggle.

We started journey from Kota Kinabalu at 9am. Like usual, my underpower and overload truck will very slow when uphill. So I will caused the traffic behind super slow. So as always, slow truck will let the driver behind pissed off. But what to do, I still need to go through the uphill part. Luckily for driving part, it is all smooth.

The underpower truck and crewmate. But not forget to mention my company still one of the best in KK.

When we are arrived Libaran Sandakan, its already 7pm and we quickly go to site inspection and make sure everything is ok. After the site inspetion, its party time because the next day the working time is afternoon since morning having different function.

First dinner funny story at Sandakan. When you ordering drinks, please make sure what size is "big" because it comes really BIG. haha. I cannot finished the drinks.

Second day and third day, which is our working day, then its time back to reality.. wuhooooo... What lucky for 4 of us is we no need to setup LED panel and that will be outsoure company helping us. We will only setup sound system and television. So its quite a relieve for us. We are using two days to settle everything and all went well.

and now, its all done and quite a relief. When all things is up, its really a time for me to relax a bit.

Then it is the show day which is at 12th August last week. But at the show day, we are not so lucky, the hall power problem causes our speaker died in between the shows and it is happen when vip is speech. Yes, it is Vip. But within half hour we manage to solve it and organizer not blaming us for this because obviously it is not our problem. Thank God for this.
