Most deserted shops in Miri

These three blocks of shops are between the immigration of Miri and Brunei at Sg Tujuh.

They must have been there for two years now ... I can't really remember. The interesting point is that these shop lots are originally before the Sg Tujuh immigration checkpoint, ie, on Sarawak side. But the new immigration checkpoint is now built quite far from the old checkpoint, hence making these shops sandwiched between the Sarawak and Brunei immigration checkpoints. So who on earth is going there to shop?

Laughter's the best medicine

This sign along the new road construction at Senadin is probably done intentionally!  
Someone probably tried to say "Me At Work" instead of "Men at Work" and then forgot the space. So, it became Meat Work which I wonder what sort of meat is capable to work!

Humour from Google Translate


I am not good in Chinese. So, I tried Google translate hoping to cut and paste all the relevant Chinese characters to make up a proper sentence.

So here it goes and have a good laugh to lighten your heart:

He fries very well 他薯条非常好 (Something like "He is an excellent French fries")
With one grammatical error, I entered:
He fry very well 他炒得很 (He fries very .... incomplete translate. So, I change a bit)
He fry very good 他是非常好的鱼苗 (He is an excellent fish fry (baby fish))
