Life behind the Scene. At the Grand Old Lady - Sunset. This sunset was taken today on top of Miri which was on the Canada hill. On this hill is 'The Grand Old Lady', struck oil on 22 December 1910. It was Miri's no.1 oil well in the country. It was affectionately called 'The grand Old Lady' and it produced oil for 62 years. Next to it is the Science Petroleum museum. Posted by Peter Yong.

Life behind the Scene. A mother's love is very profound and hard to comprehend. One need to look at a wider prospective and go around in order to understand. They are a dependable source of comfort; They help in times of trouble; They support you whenever you call. It is no wonder there have been songs written to their merit. They are truly wonderful creation to the humankind of this world:). Posted by Peter Yong. Friday, October 15, 2010. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Women are very pa...

July 11, 2015. This kind of government quarters (Class 3) is on the way out of our social scenario in Sarawak. In the olden days, government servants who were not graduates, thus "lowly classified" were given accomodation like this. Rental was a mere 30 dollars, around the late 1960's and early 1970's but that was quite a big some to some families. I have a lot of good memories visiting friends,during my early teaching days, who stayed in this kind of quarters. Links to this post. July 10, 2015. Sibu Tal...

April 30, 2015. Sibu Tales : Green Skinned Oranges and Visiting Relatives. In the 1960's and 1970's most Sibu people would visit their relatives and stay over night because of the lack of transport. Staying over night and enjoying time together was not a holiday visit many could afford especially when they had to work hard, looking after domestic animals, children, the home, tap rubber, carry water, clean the house etc. In the 1960's these were only 50 cents per kati. Somehow the smell or fragrance of gr...

March 30, 2015. Nang Chong Stories : Bend of a River. The lower Rejang River valley is very flat and as we grew up, we saw the river getting wider and wider and the river flowing slower. When we were young we could jump into the river from our jetty for a bit of swimming, without any fear. It was a great childhood growing up by the banks of the Rajang. Or in Iban, a Tanjong. Bend of River at Nanga Medamit. And then we would be so happy. We would also know when our Grandmother would be coming home....

August 1, 2015. Mum Remembers Perilla of her Childhood Days. Two childhood memories of my mother . Here I am sharing them with you. Sibu in the 1930's were short of doctors and the only hospital, Law King Howe Hospital was still in its infancy. And most parents, if they could help it, just use herbs to get their children better. Since my grand aunt had so many young children and many workers for their rubber garden, the meals had to be taken care of by another helper. Today this aunt of ours is long gone...

November 30, 2014. Sibu Tales : Measuring of Rice by Milk Tins. As we grew up in a very closed Foochow community, we were often reminded of our community's rich legacy of rags to riches stories, moral lessons and wise sayings and naturally our dialect's poetry and songs. Our best lessons are those of brotherly and neighbourly love and care, a lot of borrowing, giving, help and lending of a hand. When Uncle D.K. was young, he often was asked to go next door to borrow two tins of rice. If the rice tub was ...
