I AM THE BORNEO EXPLORER 婆罗洲探险者

Since Miri had become a city earlier this year 2005, it is hard to believe that Miri had indeed change a lot. Each time when I went back to my hometown Limbang, I need to passby Miri but only transit at the Miri Airport didn’t visit the city. The first night I was out to explorer the new face of Miri city, together with my old time buddy who stays at Miri. With almost half-an-hour car ride, my friend bring me to this new park called the “Taman Miri” aka Miri Park. Before we reach she asked me whether afraid of height of not. I was curious why asked that question, as when we reach our destination, I was shock that it is a park, but with a very long suspension bridge hanging in the mid air. I was so exited when I saw the bridge, I hurry set my camera ISO to 400 to have a faster shutter speed (that’s why most of my photos had a high noise level) . It is a public park so no entrance fees require, there is a place specially design for people to play skateboard. Upon walking on the suspensi...

Day Time View Night Time View

On my last day at Sibu, I went to the night market near my hotel. At Kuching the night market only available on Saturday and Sunday but here the market operates every night. It starts at 5.00pm something, so after my 5.30pm work the time is just right for me. I’m very hungry that time, as I only had a “kan pua” (noodle) for my lunch. Sibu is very famous for “kan pua” I think Sibu had the best and cheapest “kan pua” noodles. When I reach the night market, I start to buy the thing I like to eat. Beside selling food the night market also sales many others stuff like clothes, watches, daily usage, wallet, bags, umbrella, you name it, I think they have it. After buying food, there is still enough time for me to rush back hotel to catch my Hong Kong series. I bought so many things with just around RM4.00 something, OMG! Is very cheap, at Kuching I cannot get this price. The food is not just cheap, but very tasty as well (or maybe because I am hungry that time) . Anyway I seldom spend money o...

I think this might be the tallest building in Sibu, the San Yang Building. My co-worker told me that the building is a combination of shopping mall, and corporate office. Don’t know how it feels to have an office on the highest floor? Took this shoot when I finish my work Took this shoot when I go for shopping with my co-worker The interior view of the building

Day One is HERE I woke up in the a.m finding myself full of energy after few hours of sleeping. With nothing to do, I grab my camera and went down to the street to get something to eat and for a walk. The street is quiet, and cold. There’s a big open air park. This is a new park, cause I never seen this few years ago, yet is a.m but there are still people hanging around in the park. There’s a big statue of a goose standing in the middle of the park. Surrounding it are the statues of twelve Chinese zodiacs. Not sure what it means, but I guess the goose must be symbolized of Sibu. It has a “S” shape on the goose, and Sibu starts with “S”…logic, agree? I went back to the hotel after my digicam went on low batt, it needs to recharge, and so am I. The Goose Statue Windows Of Sibu The pavilion roof. Wet & Dry Market A wide open-air use to host most of the street event.

Last week when I arrive at Sibu, we were to go to Sarikei for work immediately. So I didn’t have time to take photo at Sarikei *sorry to chen not be able to take photos of Sarikei :( * . After finish work that night we head back to Sibu by car, when we reach Sibu our co-worker brings us for dinner. It is very generous of them to drive their way all the way from Sarikei to Sibu, and bring us dinner again. My co-worker told me that this is a very famous place for seefood, the food is tasty, and the price is reasonable. I’m not much of a seafood lover, but I can eat almost anything now. I haven’t had a proper meal since 5.00a.m. While waiting for our dish to come, I went around the restaurant to see if have anything interesting. There is a corner where they kept the fish, and prawns. Just when I walk closer, I heard noise made by frog. I open one of the box cover and discover there are many frogs hiding in there. And some of them are FAT!!! In Chinese we don’t called this frog, we called ...

Hi guys…I’m back. Yesterday evening went to the new ice-kacang stall, last time it was like this . After that the government had take up their place to build a beautiful park, and the Sarawak Government had also build a new food stall for them to operate their business. This building had it own unique design, is not like any other food stall that build in a strait line, this one is a circle. So before you choose which stall to sit down, you can walk around the stall then make the decision. My friends and I had chosen this “Ah Yeo Ais Kacang” I guess that the boss uses his sure name as the sign board. I’m craving for ice-kacang now….just when we had finished our drinks, the sky starts to pouring rains. This is still ok for me, what worse is that I forgot to close my car windows, and my car seat are all wet!!! A part of the new ice-kacang building Ah Yeo Ice Kacang Is a family business, while the husband do the marketing, then the wife do the production this is a very good coordination b...
