Satok Suspension Bridge.

Can’t see the bridge? That’s because it isn’t there anymore. This is the remains of Satok Suspension Bridge. The 78 year-old bridge, one of Kuching’s oldest landmarks, collapsed on the 7th October 2004.

Sibu ByElection-Nomination Day.

I was in Sibu on 8th May,2010 to witness the nomination day for Sibu byelection.

This good looking uncle at first I thought he is a chief police on duty as I saw many police man standing near him. He wear black T and wanted to be "Arrest Me"

I am wearing BLACK.He is no other then popular blogger

ZORROW UNMASKED .

 

Too many police in Sibu now..Do you know Sibu have extra 2000 police during the election day.Good Job.....

Barisan Nasional..present Government of Malaysia.

The hard core supporters of ruling party Barisan Nasional.

The opposition party...

Sibu, is not a big and well-known town in the context of this country, but recently because of the by-election, almost everyday you can see Sibu on TV! Besides that, all political big names either from ruling parties as well as opposition parties are blooming into this town since the nomination day (8th May). It is predicted that this phenomenon will continue until the pooling day which is scheduled on 16th of May! Therefore if you wish to visit Sibu in this period of time, please be reminded that all hotels, no matter big or small, expensive or cheap, new or old... all had been fully booked!

Poor Kids..........

They work hard, they are not poor, because of their will. They are poor because that is how they were born. All they need is people to care and an opportunity.

Pesta Benak -Last part.

Road sign in Sri man.If you plan to go to Pesta Benak next year, I suggest you just park your car at the parking space provided by the organiser and don't drive in the town.Sri Aman is no more a sleepy town during the festival.

  

You know what I mean by NO MORE sleepy town.

Try local Western food and local BBQ fish & chicken.

 

I say No more sleepy town as every corner of the road junction & lane is having another festival.It's a big,big sale for a small time street vendors.

There are having a street food sale festival & not only foods  but there are some other merchandise too.

No place to stay ? that's not a problem.Join this group ,Isn't it fun.

For the kids its time to work hard and helping your parents or earn extra pocket money so you can join this big biker later in future.

I can't afford this kind of hobby...you know our petrol is subsidise by government & don't waste on joyful ride hahaha...(Sorry guys)

Wow !!!! ...look at rear wheel ..maybe it's cost more than  one set of compact car wheel size 13.

For a super rich boys or you are the son of the riches man in Sarawak...It's time to show off your big boy toys,super bike.

Till we meet again next year Pesta Benak 2011.

Oh yes..Congratulation to the organiser..good job.

Pesta Benak-Part Three

Is the word 'BINTULU' someting  to do with pesta benak.I guess Bintulu is promoting the Kite Festival which is annual big event in Bintulu.This huge flag look a alike huge kite.

Batang Lupar River is three to four hour journey from Kuching. You can get there by bus and stop at a town called Bandar Sri Aman, previously known as Simanggang. Though cruising along the river is not advisable due to the bore but you can still watch the fascinating phenomena from the jetty (pic.below)

 

 

    

The esplanade also serves as the observation centre for the famous tidal bore or known locally as benak .

Pesta Benak 2010 Sri Aman-Part One.

Sri Aman is famous for its Benak　or tidal bore. The tidal bore comes in from the river mouth and roils and churns and fills up the river very rapidly in the course of about 10 minutes. The wave crest is typically from 2 to 3 meters high. This is one of the few places in the world where this phenomenon happens on such a large scale. There is a timetable at the river which has the time and dates for when the tidal bore will occur, but the really big ones occur only a couple of times a year
The above video is the tidak bore phenomenon happens two year ago.And after two years lapes Pesta Benak or tidal bore fiesta is back again.
I went to Sri Aman this morning but I miss the phenomena because it's happen early at 05:00AM .Anyway,I take a few candid shot at the event (Pesta Benak Sri Aman 2010) Kindly view part two -Thanks.
