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

Happiness Food Restaurant, located in the Senadin new shophouses near the proposed water theme park, is without doubt the best Chinese restaurant in Senadin. The restaurant is packed almost every night! My son and I went there for dinner tonight as it is just a short drive from my house. When we arrived, the place was not full and there ...

The Piasau Nature Reserve, which encompasses the Piasau Camp, about 6km north of the city centre, was gazetted as a nature reserve on December 31, 2013. Piasau Camp thus became the first residential area in Sarawak to be converted into a nature reserve mainly because of the presence of hornbills. This paves way for conservation efforts and greater appreciation of ...

I have been to Piasau Nature Reserve twice in the past few weeks hoping to photograph the hornbills there but on both occasions, I failed to spot the hornbills. I went there again at about 8am this morning after getting tips from Josephine Lim, my ex-colleague in Brunei, who had successfully photographed the hornbills. After parking my car at the ...

I went to TGV at Permaisuri Imperial City Mall this afternoon to watch the Singapore movie “Our Sister Mambo” at Hall 2. And for the first time in my life, I had the whole hall to myself as I was the only patron! Our Sister Mambo is a family comedy drama commemorating the 80th anniversary of Cathay Organisation. It is ...

I have been fascinated by bird photography for quite a while. Bird photography, especially wild bird photography, is very challenging. Wild birds usually don’t pose where you want and it’s often difficult to get close enough to take quality pictures. Bird photography is one of the greatest photographic pursuits and also one of the most popular genres of nature photography. ...

The unique flavours at Sun City Cafe offer a welcome change to the local dining experience. If you want to have a great Indian food experience, drop by the cafe in Centre Point Miri. It is located in the same row of shophouses as Standard Chartered Bank. It is a very basic joint with air-conditioning but hardly any décor. If ...

We went for breakfast at Hainan Cafe situated at the Miri Waterfront. There were quite a lot customers when we arrived at the cafe. That, to me, is a good sign. Interesting photos depicting some old Hainan coffeeshop scenes and a photo of the Kuching Hainan Association building adorn the walls of the cafe. I ordered a Hainan kopi-o while ...

I stopped by a little stream near Lutong Beach this morning intending to photograph egrets that seem to hang out in that area. Luck was against me for as soon as I got down from my car, the egrets took flight. Since photographing egrets was out of the question, I just looked around. Standing on the small bridge, I diverted ...

I have heard from my brother Chin Tian that the economy rice at 368 Café is good and he is a frequent patron. Yesterday afternoon, my son and I went to the café to try out the economy rice. It is situated in the same row of shophouse as Miri Taiwan Cafe. Economy rice refers not to a specific dish ...

I was in Permaisuri Imperial City Mall yesterday when I saw the One Heart One Mind Charity Fundraising Fair organised by Global Art to raise funds for the Parents Association for Special Children Miri or Persatuan Ibu Bapa Kanak-Kanak Istimewa Miri (Pikabis). The fair, which started on August 28, will end today.   There are many art pieces on display ...
