The Kolej Tun Datu Tuanku Haji Bujang Year 1975-1976 Reunion is now history but it has been etched into the memory of those who made it to the function. I am one of the committee members and I take pride in the post-reunion accolades from the participants. Mr Ong Siang Phiaw, for instance, personally texted me, saying that the reunion ...

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. ...

Su, a reader of my blog, made a comment that I have a good blog and that he appreciates what I do as a Mirian. However, he suggested that maybe buying a new camera will make my blog even better.

When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just strolling in a park? Do you know that spending time in a nice park correlates with our overall well-being? In Miri, you have no excuses for not spending some time in a park. You are spoilt for choices. You can visit Taman Selera today and Taman Awam tomorrow. Or ...

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.
