1st April’s Fire at Bintawa

April 1, 2010April 3, 2010 sweet surrender 6 Comments

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:

Deserted Jalan Song

March 26, 2010March 27, 2010 sweet surrender 10 Comments

Jalan Song used to be a place where people go there for food and hangout with friends and family. Now…

It’s deserted! Such a pity. It was so hard to find parking there and also place to sit last time. It was so packed and happening. Nowadays, it’s similar to a “dead town”.

Mind you, this was taken last night. If it’s last time, you’ll see all the people there, every night the place was packed to the brim.

I went there somewhere early this year and it was a Sunday evening, it’s the exact same view too. -.-”

The crowd is now at Premier 101.

Ah well… This is how unique Kuching is. Everyone will flock to the latest/newest place. Soon Premier 101 MIGHT be another “dead town” also, it’s just a matter of time that it will suffer the same fate as Jalan Song.

Kuching oh Kuching…

It’s Been Awhile

It’s been awhile I didn’t take photos of sunset from my window. I have no idea how long I didn’t stand there to even look at the sky. Today… I had no idea why, I looked out of the window automatically and saw this very beautiful sunset. I quickly took my camera and took some snaps.

Sharing it here with you.

Took this with default manual mode.

Switched to Sunset mode.

I like the Sunset mode better. How about you?

New Bus in Kuching

March 13, 2010March 14, 2010 sweet surrender 6 Comments

For those of you who left Kuching for quite a while, if you do come back, you will not be seeing the usual blue buses from Chin Lian Long anymore. It’s now replaced by green buses called the City Public Link.

When it started? I’m not so sure. I’ve seen quite many of them on the road few months back but I didn’t know those were our new public buses because I don’t take public transport and I don’t know how hahaha… I thought it’s a new express bus company. I only knew about it until my mom mentioned about it.

However, public transport in Kuching isn’t that efficient yet. I doubt it will be soon. At least, nicer looking buses and cleaner looking buses are used now.
