On Sunday, Simon and Jon went out on a trip to Bintulu, a 2hr drive away, to check out the Farmers', Breeders' and Fishermen Day.

Jonathan loved the huge machinery, especially the humongous digger and a beautiful red tractor.

Thanks goodness for Wei Ming and his kids, Toby and sister, who kept Jon occupied during the car ride there.

Over at the Breeders' exhibits, Jon checked out the many local farm animals like sheep, goat, bullocks.

In the photo below, at the bottom of the tank is the famous Ikan Empurau, Sarawak's most expensive fish. It can fetch between RM350 and RM380 a kg and to have it served on the dining table will set you back by about RM1,200/kg at local restaurants. Even at that price, ikan empurau is hard to come by as the fish is rarely found, and only in the interiors of Kapit Division and Baram in northern Sarawak. Wonder if they hired any security guards to guard the fish?

Guess how much it is going for in a Chinese restaurant at the Marina Bay Sands Resort in Singapore?...a whooping S$1,000/kg! And people don't even bat en eyelid eating a 2-kg fish for a table of 10 diners. Either they struck the jackpot, or the tab is picked up on company accounts.

He had fun on the rides, which was an achievement coz I can't even get him to sit on the coin-operated rides in amusement parks. He even went on an old-fashioned (and literally, old) Ferris wheel, where he was on the same level as the huge kites.

Jon enjoyed the bumper car ride with Simon, where he received a bump. Pun intended.

I stayed at home and rest while Jill took her nap. In the end, the boys came back two hours later due to the heavy rain and bad road conditions. Jon came back so excitedly and spoke so much over a cup of warm Milo and biscuits. Looks like I have to get off my butt and start scrapbooking!
