I seldom buy original CDs as they are way too expensive. But once in a blue moon, I allow myself the luxury of forking out RM40 to RM50 for a CD that really caught my fancy. Adele’s third album “25” is one such CD. When I saw the CDs hitting the Speedy Video store in Miri recently, I immediately grabbed ...

My brother Kiong brought me to Siniawan after picking me from the airport at about 4.00pm yesterday. I have always been enchanted by photos of Siniawan showing its old wooden shophouses, its colourful lanterns and night market. A visit to this small quaint town is something that I have cherished for quite a while. Siniawan looked like a ghost town ...

Ever since I discovered this park a couple of weeks ago, I have dropped by the park from time to time as it offers quite good photography opportunities if you are into nature like flora and fauna photography. On the left of the hotel are two rows of shophouses with a small park behind them. Behind this park, there is ...

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.  ...

Beraya Beach is starting to become popular after bioluminescence was spotted here in the past few weeks. Located 15 km from Miri, the beach looks great for swimming and family outings. I dropped by for a short visit this morning. Assuming that there won’t be any sand flies, I did not apply any insect repellent. Beraya Beach is a lovely ...

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.
