An adage certainly proven wrong by the recent spate of guests over here in Miri! Once Fabulous Felix and I ( and not forgetting self-described Picky Patty ) figured that geographical boundaries would forever keep us away from the social engagements in the city, we decided to transfer them to us instead.
Thank God for economical flights.
And I'll have to admit we've been keeping our social calendar pretty busy the past few weeks with friends and relatives coming over in regular intervals. And that's not counting the various events held in this surprisingly lively hamlet here. Obviously the local yokels need to have their own entertainment as well.
So where do we go today?
Obviously I'm not the shy, retiring wallflower I always thought myself to be. Especially after talking their ears off. So far - apart from family and our respective spouses, we've had two bintulu bindi babes, a city cockerel and a humble hobart.
Throw in a partridge in a pear tree and we might have a theme song.
From the boondocks at Bintulu, the beautiful Bindi Babes boarded a broken bus - barely breaching the borough boundaries before breaking apart. Fortunately they managed to survive the harrowing trip cross-country to make it to my place as the first home-stay guests. Hardly any payment needed apart from a bit of storytelling. With the information gleaned from their experience in the neighbouring town, I breathed a sigh of relief knowing that I picked the better of the two evils.
And also found out that buses from here do travel all the way around the island to far-off exotic places such as Pontianak and Entikong.
The charming City Cockerel came calling at the city center craving for a career change. Stranger he might be but that cute bubble butt made him instantly recognizable to all ( or at least we all hope ) at the pick-up point. Despite nursing the beginnings of a flu, he sang for his supper beautifully with tales of harrowing work experiences and axe-wielding ex-boyfriends. Would have sympathized a lil bit more except for the fact that we like our cute guys away from the creepy crazies :)
With the last meeting up with Humble Hobart. Strapping local fellow came along for dinner only to be overwhelmed by the crazy likes of us. Was afraid for a second that our wild boisterousness ( and our marked predilection for eligible hotties ) would scare the poor kid away! Which would be a pity - since it turns out this lil seahorse city does churn out its own cuties after all.
Well at least more than the one I'm already seeing.
So who else is dropping by for dinner?
