Thank goodness the Telekom technician managed to detect the problem as to why my house phone line was out for the past 3 days. The culprits were none other than the birds who have been busy building their nests somewhere near the phone line. They probably stepped or feasted on the phone line causing the disconnection. Whateverlah!!

Last night the Xmas Parade organised by the various churches in Miri was 'paraded' by all the churches' faithfuls for all to see in the city centre starting from Miri City Fan & back. Each denomination came up with its own display of 'show'. I watched the whole procession from Ming Cafe as I had quite a handful of SIDS ladies from Julau (they had no relatives in Miri to entertain them ) to take care of.

Good morning!!!!

Good morning everyone!!It's me Sebugey again. The time in Miri is 6.28 am,a wet Thursday morning..the sky is like the sky on a winter's day & it's cold & breezy so I won't be surprised if there are some people who refuse to get up, still snuggling in between the bedsheet & blanket. There goes GK Supermarket's alarm again..quiong..quiong..quiong.
Ever since Miri has become a city,noise pollution has become the order of the day & the emergency services people have been very busy. Not an hour passes by where one does not hear the sirens of the ambulances,the police patrols,the police escorting the many 'bbips 'to the golf courses for their early morning tee-offs. Is it really necessary to put on the sirens to let people know that they are on their way to play golf or that they are on their visiting rounds? I find that the drivers of ambulances (both from the Miri hospital,oh ya Tudan & also from Lawas/Limbang & private medical centres),fire brigades,drivers of gomen cars are putting their lives' & others' at risks when transporting their passengers. Motorists can be forgiven for not giving way to them sometimes.
In Kuching it is even worst where almost 'everybody' is a bip and especially at the airport,we,mere commoners are being given the lowest kind of treatment where we have to make /pave the way for the 'thousands' of so called 'bips' so they can board the planes in time. During my last trip to Kuching I had barely stepped out of the car when a police patrol car was sounding its siren asking people to clear the way because their 'bbips' were on their way. What the heck!! We are also entitled to get our butts off at the entrance of the airport. We also help to build the airport. I think the airport management should 'train' the people 'manning' the traffic to be more diplomatic. There is no point to spend millions of ringgits promoting malaysian hospitality when there is ZERO hospitality/courtesy/diplomacy on the ground. I agree that there are many people waiting in their cars by the sides causing the traffic jam but do not 'SHOO' people away. Direct the traffic nicely.
aPA LAGI cerita pagi tu? wait til I have more materials to bash about....
oh ya,one more thing to bash about...illegals.
My cousin who lives in Pakut (oil palm plantation area) told us of how 4 illegals ( I don't have to say where the illegals come from) who came in a car,stopped by his house about 8.30pm while he was asleep. The illegals were fiddling with the lock trying to open the door but quickly left when they heard my cousin making noises. The same people were at work again one morning,when they overtook a lorry driven by someone we know. It was at 5am when they robbed him;slapped him first,took his handphone & tied him..then they took his money..the money to pay for his car instalment. After he was rescued by his fellow workmates,he lodged a police report & gave their car plate number. "Nemu kami plate number tu..sida tu selalu enchuri" ko plois. "Lapa kita enda nangkap sida ti kita nemu.?" ko Jon. Itulah cerita nya...
Time to nangkap the illegals.
cerita siti:
Aku bisi nerima message madah ke ujang kena robbed & stabbed/slashed ba Bintulu. Oh pia..ko ati ku...Nyau kelama nanya aku,ka nentu ke berita nya alu tipon enggau Endu. "Amat Ni,balat tudah ujang kena slash robbers,urang ke enggau iya diau kena tied up aja. Ka ke Bintulu meh tu,nganti bala." Arap ke tudah ujang nadai apa nama.

I saw this Obituary in today's newspapers . During our trip to Kuching in October,we met D's old MU mate & had breakfast with him & his wife at Pock Hai Kedai Kopi,opposite Tun Jugah's mall. Cerita punya cerita,they showed us a letter . We did what we could...not much. A week later we received a Thank You letter from him & yesterday morning over the airwaves/radio we heard of his demise. To be exact,he died a month after writing the letter. I went searching for his letter & found it & read it a few times. Never met him before & only got to see how he looked like at today's BPOST. May he rest in peace.

Since Christmas is coming,don't forget to spare a dime or two for your priest(s).
