The Other Way from Lutong to Miri
Tuesday, 28 July 2009
Travelled on this bridge countless times but this is the first picture I have taken of the Piasau bridge. It is the other bridge that links Lutong to Miri. Interestingly I found a blog post about the historical origin of this landmark. Can anyone tell me when is the bridge originally built?
Traffic lights junctions from the Piasau bridge to Piasau and Krokop
Another road to Krokop, Miri.

Classmates Meet
Saturday, 18 July 2009
Classmates meet again! Actually I felt like calling Chew and tell him that I was not going. I am glad I didn't. I believe there were times in our lives when we just don't feel like doing this or that but were thankful when we didn't follow that negative feeling. Of course, there were times when we are grateful that we followed our feelings. There are feelings of not wanting to do things and there are feelings that we need to do this or that. In my religious belief we call that the bad and the good spirit.
In tonight's case, it was my bad spirit telling me not to go. It is just like the feeling of not wanting to pray, to go to the sacrament meeting, visiting our families or just merely calling or visiting our friends. It was definitely not the good spirit because I was not going to rob a bank.
I know there are 'friends' who will never call, visit or write but that is okay. They are just not that kind of people. It is sad to hear some people said that they are lonely because their friends don't make contact with them. It makes me happy to hear when they said they are grateful for my visits. It makes me feel good to know that I can help to uplift some spirits in this way.
Classmates, especially when you have been with them for years, are not just ordinary friends. We have sat in the same classroom, played together and saw each other at least 5 days a week. We didn't end up marrying each other but we know and understand each other and are comfortable in each other's presence, like brothers and sisters, accepting each other's increasing greying hair, wrinkles, dry and sagging skin.

Farewell Sister Clark
Saturday, 18 July 2009
Sister Clark had been transferred. The girls wanted to cook for the sisters missionaries at my house. I had no problem with that! I didn't have to cook for a change. Someone is going to cook! I just join in the meal.
I didn't try the Buah Salak (snake fruit) that they brought for the sisters missionaries to eat.
Lydia stir-fried while Sister Lim helped with the soup.
What can I say? Just that these young ladies are cute and fun loving: Lyanne, Lydia, Leonora, Sister Clark and Sister Lim
The missionaries: ex Sister Suling and ex Sister Liew, Sister Lim and Sister Clark

Meow
Tuesday, 14 July 2009
The female-mother cat does not have a name so I will call her "Meow". We were sitting in a row - Priscilla, Lyanne and myself. Meow jumped to my place but walked passed me and went up to Lyanne's lap and laid there.
This is the first time Lyanne & I have seen this cat. Lyanne is an animal lover and Meow must have sensed that. I don't care as much for cats as I care for dogs.

Clothes, Ice Kacang & Roti Canai
Monday, 13 July 2009
Tailoring - Agatha has been in this business for many many years. Because she is my friend, I would go to her if I need any work done on my clothes so I can help her with her earnings. This day she refused to take any money from me for some finishings on skirts. I guess I would do the same if we exchange places.
Ice Kacang/cendol vendor - Lydia decided to be her own boss and started selling ice kacang/cendol about 6 months ago. Ice kacang/cendo is so cool and refreshing on a hot day!
Last but not least, Roti Canai - Mahsuri is happy preparing roti canai at the shop she works

1st Wedding Reception of A Classmate's Child
Sunday, 5 July 2009
When Hamim asked if I would be in Miri on this day, I said I could arrange. Siew Kuan remarked that this was the 1st wedding reception of a child of a classmate he attended, it struck me that it was for me too! I was available at the right time :)
Here are some of the pictures that I took at the reception. Siew Kuan took the group picture, which I will add on this post, when I received them.
The gifts that we received
Fung Yin & Catherine
Daisy & Jamila
Angela & Irene
Siew Kuan & Siew Ming
Thanks, Siew Kuan, for the pictures you taken. Here are some of the pictures that I have chosen to upload here:
The father of the bride visiting his classmaes!
The bridegroom and the bride
The father blessing his daughter
Hamim made his speech
