CY@CY Says Welcome to my dreamscape. Where a Lim is also a Ling.

A few days ago, a friend was lamenting the lack of a flower garden in Miri. I told him Miri does have a flower garden, albeit a rather small one. If what you have in mind is something like the botanical garden in big cities, then you will be setting yourself up for a major disappointment. The flower garden in ...

I read from postings in Facebook that many of the food stalls at Food Bazaar at Taman Selera have commenced business. This evening, we dropped by at the Food Bazaar to try out the food. The design of the Food Bazzar is quite eye-catching. It is just next to the Bay Resort Condominium built by Shin Yang. We were not ...

It has been many years since I last visited Canada Hill. I decided to make a photo-taking trip there this morning and ended up spending almost two hours there.

Standing on the beach at Taman Selera at about 5pm today, I could see the sea rising up and down before crashing on the beach. As the waves approached the beach, they looked so angry and fearless. It immediately made me think of angry seas. Of course, compared to the really angry seas, the sea at Taman Selera today was ...

On the way home after sending my son to work, I decided to use the Piasau Camp way with the intention of stopping at Lutong Beach to take photos. I drive pass this beach quite often but have not actually stopped to take a walk there for the last twenty years or so. Imagine my shock at the sight that ...

Hawaii. The mere mention of its name conjures up images of soft, golden sand, swaying coconut trees and flower-bedecked grass hula dancers. You are gripped by the spirit of aloha. The fresh, floral air and the warm waters refresh you. The ineffable beauty rejuvenates you. Hawaii has become synonymous with paradise. However, Hawaii is just a dream for most of ...
