WAH! Busy!

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on WAH! Busy!

Supposed to do a post but something came up so will do it tomorrow.

Was running some errands around Kuching this afternoon, then I have tonnes of notes to make for my coming exam. Not even half way.

Gonna get busy with my coming exam.

On the other note, actually I’m having mixed feelings and all kind of thoughts running in my mind and also there are some issues that I have to look into related to my personal life and my future. I won’t reveal much of it for now until things are certain. There’s only less than a year to decide and once decided, there is no turning back. Just crossing my fingers that everything will work out nicely and I won’t chicken out the last moment or half way.

Good night!

Qing Ming 2010

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Qing Ming 2010

Tomorrow will the actual day of Qing Ming. Many people went to the graves today because it’s a Sunday and tomorrow is a working day.
We also went today, this morning. Usually we left at about 6am or before that but this year we were quite late. The mist was quite thick. We left at 6.30am and there were already many people busy cleaning and praying.

I forgot my phone so didn’t take any photo. However, I couldn’t resist it when I saw the sun ray. Check out the photo. I know it’s not that obvious but it was very nice sun ray. I asked my brother to take the photo. Few minutes later, my brother thought of taking a better one but no more such ray could be seen. The sun had shifted.

Life is short, just like the sun ray. Appreciate what you have now before it’s too late.

Car Petrol Stolen

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on Car Petrol Stolen

One of our cars has been targeted by various kind of thieves over the years, what to do? It’s just a common Perodua Kembara(the parts are in demand), can’t afford any unique car that could deter people from messing around it:
1. Attempted to steal our car but steering locks and alarm turned them off. At the end, they carted away stuffs in the drawer and broke our back door’s lock.

2. Stole our tyre cover, you know the cover to cover the spare tyre behind the 4×4? That one.

3. Attempted to steal again! Left a gaping hole at the driver’s side, took the lock away. They failed to drive the car away because of the alarm and steering locks.

4. Drained out petrol! @#$%^&* Stole our petrol!

***

I didn’t drive the car for almost a week until yesterday. I’m the one driving it most of the time. The last time I drove, the oil level was at the last level. Didn’t bother about it because won’t be driving it anywhere far so should be able to last for quite a while. I didn’t know my dad refueled it few days ago because I didn’t use the car those few days.

Yesterday morning, it was still around the same level as last week. I went to church with it. Nothing amiss.

Yesterday night, we decided to went out, my dad was shocked to see the oil level was at “E”, supposed to have at least half tank. At first, we thought the meter might be malfunctioned. To check on it, my dad went to refuel another half tank. If the meter wasn’t spoiled, then it should reach full tank but it didn’t. Instead it only rose till half the tank. Not only that, my dad had trouble closing the cover after refueling and noticed the bar in there was slightly crooked. Further checked, there were signs of forced entry.

The thief drained our petrol! *&%^$%# Stupid thief tried to drain our petrol from the top but couldn’t reach it because there wasn’t much petrol in there. He/She ended up went all the way down there to drain the petrol. How hardworking was that? Good thing my dad only refueled RM35 of fuel not full tank. Very hardworking for such little amount fuel. *smack head*

My dad said that he will not refuel the car to full tank from now on. Just refuel for enough to use for a week or two since we don’t always use this car. What to do? I’m not staying in a place with our own car porch, what to expect when you stay at shophouse? That’s why it’s an easy target.

That morning, there was still a bit left that’s why I didn’t notice anything as that’s almost the level I saw the last time I drove the car. Then towards the day, the oil evaporated and leak because the f***ing thief didn’t tighten the cap below the car causing the oil to leak out bit by bit! Only noticed it this today when my dad asked the mechanic next door to have a look at the fuel cover since the bar there was twisted. No wonder the meter dropped till “E”. Good thing was that the thief still had the heart to put the cap back rather than threw the cap away else we’ll be in huge trouble when refueling because we didn’t think of checking the cap down there.

Beware people! It seems like stealing other’s petrol is a growing trend now. I always heard of motorbikes suffering from such thing but now cars too.

1st April’s Fire at Bintawa

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on 1st April’s Fire at Bintawa

Heard fire engine siren at home around 7pm. Didn’t bother much about it. Not long after that, we went out for Kueh Chap at Bintawa. Bintawa is one of the oldest industrial areas in Kuching housing major factories, mills, warehouses and offices.


Left: When we almost reached the boat roundabout at Bintawa, we saw fire engulfing the box carton factory, the one just next to the police station. -.-” The fire was huge, the whole building were on fire, from front to back, everything! We stopped for a while to have a look and I asked my bro to take pictures with his phone. I regretted that I didn’t bring my camera along! I would have clearer and better photos and videos to share.

Right: We went back there after dinner, went back to the scene and noticed the fire was spreading and the wind wasn’t helping. When we reached there, TC Motors’ (one building next to it) staffs were busy moving their trucks out of their compound but I doubt they could move all of them out because the trucks were huge and the road was small with a fire engine parked just few yards from its exit. The manager was busy salvaging the office’s documents.


Too bad, the back of the office and store of a coffee powder manufacturer caught fire too. The fire was getting bigger and bigger. TC Motor was at risk too. They were so near to each other, practically no fire breaker.

Decided not to stay there too long because the fire won’t be out any sooner. We left and saw many buildings’ owners of that area all rushed to the scene but couldn’t do anything. Even those located quite a distant from the fire scene also rushed to their premises to check on the condition whether they were at risk or not.

At the time I’m posting this, I don’t think the fire is out, it should be still raging. If not mistaken, I saw 4 or 5 fire engines.

Uploaded the videos too. Here’s the video links:
