Life in Bintulu


A Random view from the hotel window


A Family day out on Sunday


A game that is very popular among the locals



Yup they are using cans of drinks as "Tokens"


Fishermen unloading the fishes at the port

Spent the whole Sunday walking around the small like town of Bintulu.
It seems like the town is busiest in the morning but dies down as the sun goes down.
Since there is no work on Sunday, I guess is a perfect day for the family to gather and go out for shopping and having meals together for family ties.
Was an eye opener for me when I entered the wet market. It was very organized as the place was seperated into fish section and the vegetable sections. In my mind, I thought that everything will be cluster together regardless of the type of food or races. But there is actually a chinese market and a malay market which practically sells things that are similar with both cater for more of the similar races.
The most interesting thing is that at a park behind the only chinese temple, vendors are selling fighting rooster. Something which have never seen before.
Went to the local shopping centre were pirates ship stormed the whole shopping centre.
Was tempted by the pirates therefore joined them by purchasing their loots. Gosh, I am one of their accomplice.
Back at the hotel wanted to try out the loot just to find that the laptop could not read.
Wanting to go back to the pirate hoping for an exchange of loot but my manager took the loot and slot it into his laptop and it can read perfectly.
Retried again and this time using another method to read the loot it works.
And enjoyed the loot perfectly.
Thus the day ended so quickly and soon by the time I open my eyes will be the start of the new day and back to work.
Till again.
