I called my brother Chin Tian this morning to find out whether he knows which school one of my Form 6 classmates is attached to. Another college mate Jessie Goh has informed me that the classmate is teaching in Miri. As my brother used to be a school principal in Miri, I thought he may know. Unfortunately my brother does ...

October 27 is probably the most exhausting day of my life. I went to the famed Lambir Hills National Park, the most visited National Park in Sarawak about 36 km from Miri, with my nephew Esmond Ngieng with the intention to spend about 2 hours there only. Upon arrival at the park after a 45-minute drive, we went to the ...

I was at Permaisuri Imperial City Mall this morning with my family when I saw that the Sarawak Traditional Clothing & Talent Show was just about to begin. So I decided to watch the show and photograph the participants while my family went shopping. The show is organised by See Hua Marketing in collaboration with the Miri Single Mothers’ Assistance ...

It was on October 27 that I brought my wife for a visit to Miri Crocodile Farm. It was her birthday and it was a unique way to celebrate her birthday. For me, it was a trip down memory lane as my late dad used to rear quite a lot of crocodiles during our days in Bintangor. My dad was ...

On the way back to Miri after my trip to Tusan Beach and Beraya Beach yesterday, I made a brief stop at the Pasar Nelayan in Kuala Bakam. I have driven past this fish market many times without making a stopover. It is a small fish market but I noticed quite a lot of people stopping by to buy fish.  ...

Tusan Beach rose to prominence after the amazing bioluminescence phenomenon was discovered in the area in September this year. The pinpricks of light glittering on the incoming tide on the shore of Tusan Beach have been drawing huge crowds to this previously neglected beach especially during weekends.

I have blogged about ice kacang outlets springing up all over Miri in my blog article “Old Taste Ice Kacang & Rojak Warisan.” And I am now seeing a trend in Miri. Established ice kacang outlets are opening new branches to increase their shares of the ice kacang market. Old Taste Ice Kacang & Rojak Warisan recently opened its second ...

I was driving past the Miri Indoor Stadium this morning when I saw the huge number of cars parked around the stadium. Curiosity got hold of me and I parked my car at the swimming pool car park. When I approached the stadium, I realised that the Borneo Autoshow And Gathering Festival 2015 was being held in the car park ...

On the left side of the hotel, there is a concrete pathway that runs all the way to the beach area. As you stroll along this pathway, you will see a small stream on the left side. If you are lucky, ...
