I bet you’ve seen and stole a lot of plants off from farms and barns on the Facebook. But have you seen the real world version of Barn Buddy, Farm Town, Farmville and all?

Well, let me bring you to this quiet little Bintangor town of Borneo Sarawak (30 minutes drive from Sibu town) to witness part of the largest crop fields in the state.

Alexallied.com wishes you a prosperous and energized Tiger year ahead!

The world certainly needed that extra ‘Rawrrrrr’ after all the economy crises and countless disasters in 2009!

That aside, let me bring you the view of this year’s Chinese New Year fireworks from my balcony. Whether you spend New Year’s in the hotels Miami celebrities frequent or in Paris, at SF hotels, Shanghai or some other beautiful part of the world, enjoy and wish the best for the year to come.

P/s: I was hit on the back by quite a huge chunk of the pyrotechnics’ remnants, as you can see the camera swaying heavily towards the end of the video. I’m not going to hire a Los Angeles injury lawyer or anything, because good luck does fall from the sky!

When I first knew about this hidden treasure of Kuala Lumpur, I was still in college, and it was Adrian Lee who first brought me here. I must say the taste made me fell in love with it the instance I took the first bite.

This is the best and the most authentic beef noodle I had ever tried. I’ve tried beef noodles from Sibu, to Kuching, and all the way to Penang. I’m not sure about you, but this is the one I reckon that is the beefiest of them all!

Located at a five-foot way along Tengkat Tong Shin, the street behind Jalan Kejora (formerly known as Jalan Alor). So famous it is, it doesn’t even have a proper premise!

If you’re in Sibu and you’re looking for something different, other than those same old coffee shops, you can actually take a ride to the Tua Pek Kong Temple in Sibu.

No, I’m not asking you to worship the Gods, but right beside the temple, there’s a block of revamped building that houses Sibu’s finest lounge and cafe. The lounge is located at Jalan Chew Geok Lin. The once antique building looks great now after major refurbishment works.

The building is owned by Wah Tat Holdings. The lounge is closed in the morning, nothing’s happening there during daytime…but when the sun goes down…

This is my 2nd ever cheque from Nuffnang, and I know, it’s not a big amount to boast about, for everyone could get a cheque like this if you’re willing to put in the effort.

But it is still a legible pay-cheque for all the hard works I’ve done for Nuffnang. Since a couple of months ago, I’ve allocated every possible premium advertising inventory on my blog just for Nuffnang, just to see if it’s worth the go.

Well, I’ve got the answer today.

Hello sexy! How do you like me to spend you?

Those are tested and proven to be the best locations you could use to maximize your earnings with Nuffnang. Before you know it, they’ll be generating over RM100/month for you! Hey, during a time like this, every extra cent I can get means the world to me! So it’s crucial to dig around and find the best spot to cash in the moolah!

The most important thing of all, Nuffnang delivers what they’ve promised to deliver. I’ve never had any problem with Nuffnang regarding payout. My last pay-cheque was spilled over by water and it was unusable. I’ve then requested them to reissue the cheque for me, although it took a bit longer, but the cheque did arrive in the end after a 2 months processing period.

As for this pay-cheque, they deliver on time as promised, without those bloody fraud click checks. The self-proclaimed “Better Advertising network company” didn’t even care to reply my cash out inquiries for more than 5 months, let alone issuing a legitimate cheque to honor my earnings. If you boss doesn’t pay your salary on time, or never even bother to pay at all, will you have the motivation to carry on working for them?

Oh well, I guess I’ve to thank Nuffnang for the extra bucks that finally I can replace my out-of-control keyboard!

From a small fishing village on the Northern coast of Sarawak, to a city in 2005. It’s been a long time coming. The people had defied the hardship and odds by becoming the first ‘non-capital’ City in Malaysia. Something that Mirians took pride of.

A lot of expatriates came and left their footprints and legacy on the land of the Seahorse. They came to work for the company that shapes the city that it is today – Shell Oil Company. The booming oil and gas industry had brought tremendous wealth and fortune to the city. Infrastructures and the living conditions were upgraded.

The Grand Old Lady, while it’s still in operation in the old days.

For a handful of expatriates, they settled down here in Borneo. But for some, they left with a heavy heart. Knowing that they’ll be back here again someday. To seek the nostalgia that once were.

Marriott Resorts and Spa caters their holidays hospitality when they’re back here again.

Miri City is heavenly relaxing, and a beautiful city for life after retirement. Lay down and enjoy the sunshine.

For all the wonderful things in Miri City, we have I Love Miri City Social Network to share and bring together the best of Miri, all under one network of fellow Mirians and expatriates, from anywhere around the world.
