Tour of Duty II

Well, I'm free now. On my 2nd entry, we continue our journey back from Simunjan after our task had finished. But before that we had our lunch at the food stall just next to the wet market. After we had enough, then we moved back to Serian. On the way back to Serian we stopped by at Balai Ringin to do inspection on sundry shops and the wet market.

Balai Ringin a small town in between Serian and Simunjan. Well technically, it is in beetween Serian and Sri Aman. For those who never stop by there, here are some of the photo shots;

A shop row. There are 3 sundries shops and 1 workshop.
Far ahead is a food stall.

A jetty. That moment, the river was in low tide.

The fismongers was doing the weight scaling upon river Tilapia for sale.

From Balai Ringin we went back to Serian before we went to my parents place for an overnight stay. We had BBQ that night and I can see that all of us are having fun BBQuing! After this, I slot in our activities shots for summary of my tour of duty on 21st June, coz it take to much time for story telling and pics upload hehe..

A burnt Syn Joon Miaw supermarket in Serian. The upper storey was
burntdown and it was on fire exactly in 1st June as told.

We BBQ Tilapia fish, hot dogs and chics wings.. fuhhh! so tasty and
it was marinated by Goh and Kaf. Well done guys..

An old 'smallville' of Pasar Lama Tebedu.. located about 55km from Serian.

Our old Land cruiser filling gas at the Petronas gas station in Tebedu.
Can U imagine a bumpy ride on this 4wheeler..

After we had done on our task, I bought 3 kilos of kampung rice for my baby. For making porridge. We are tired but still have the energy to smile and jokes among ourselves. The next day is Monday! hahh! no relax at all.. Have to continue working on the 1st day of the new week...
Wish someone can do a massage for me.. Body aching on the bumpy ride for 2 consecutive days, and it's on weekend!! everybody were resting but us??
NO comments he he..

My tour of duty

I would like to share with you my tour of duty on 20th - 21st June 2009. I was assigned for an outstation job on that particular day. Me and 3 of my colleagues and a driver moved with and old Toyota Land Cruiser from Kuching in the morning. Actually we already booked a brand new Toyota Fortuner for us the day before the departed, but something mixed up and we had to move using the Land Cruiser. So guess what? I got a headache due to the bumpy ride all the way to Simunjan. All the suspension system geting stiff coz it has not been replaced since the last replacement. The 4 wheeler is waiting to be forfeited..

On the way to Simunjan, it happenned there was an accident occured at the Kuching-Serian road near miles29. I asked our driver stop us by the roadside coz I wanna took a shot of the incident. I asked a man on what has happened. From the information that I get, the lady and her baby in the black Viva was severely injured. 1 kid also injured and the driver, a male was badly hurt on his forehead.

A badly damaged Viva.

wrecked Mazda van.

I was told that the accident occured due to one lorry wanted to make an illegal U-turn and most probably coz panic to both viva and the van drivers which came on opposite directions. The Viva hit the front part of the lorry while the van hit the rear part of the lorry. I don't know about the van driver condition because I was in a hurry to snap pics.

After that we moved to Serian town for breakfast. After we had our breakfast, we're heading straight for Simunjan town which is about 100-150km from Kuching.

On the way headed to Simunjan, we had to stop by at Hospital Simunjan coz one of my friend got his nature called. He had to stand stomachache about more than 10km just to reach the Hospital washroom ha ha!..

the center park of Simunjan town.

One of the shop row at Simunjan.

Well, I have to stop here coz the pic upload is slow and I have something urgent to catch up! I'll continue on next entry.

Adios!

Weird but True!

I managed to snap pictures of one place that seems to me is weird...
A graveyard in between the housing area! While I was coming back from work, I decided to snap a few pic. of this place which I was known by it a long time ago... not so long lah..

Actually I knew this place in 2008. I just wanted to share with you the reality bites of my article. So I drove in this housing area and captured a few snaps of the so called 'beautiful scenery'...
don't you think so??

This graveyard is actually the original site for a burial belongs to Anglican community. I heard that the developer had proposed to buy this piece of land and as a compensation, they will moved all the tombs to the new place. It is because they wanted to develop the houses and not wanted the graveyard to be in the middle of the housing area. But the locals or villagers were disaggreed and wanted to maintain the site for their community graveyard. So, that how's it goes..

A weird but true scenery in the midlle of the housing area...

U can see the cemeteries on the top of the hill surrounded by
a bunch of single-storey terraced houses.

The gateway to the graveyard.....the photo taken from
the main road of the housing area.

I'm sure not many Kuchingites know this place.. Only those who bought the house there and those who visited their friends and family over there.. Eh! seems like DiGi prepaid ads quotation! he he..

Well, this place is called Midway Crescent Garden, Kota Samarahan. I heard of several strange stories from the residents that lives nearby. It's scary to them but for me, I'm not afraid of no ghost! Come on! Have faith. If you believe in God, there's noting to fear off, right?

Have a tour there guys!
