A Week in Kampua Town

Darn, had no time to go out and joli-joli in Kampua Town because of the assignments. But heck, over the period of 1 week of tuition free I did manage to take a few snapshots of town when I got the chance to actually go out to unwind. Everything that makes Sibu, Sibu :)

Your average English past-present tense error. At least it's better than the "Hands & Feet Only/ Kakitangan Sahaja" error ^^

Home made ice-cream. It's uber nice because there is no limit on what I want on it and most of all, it's cheapER P:


Everyday is a nice day to drive in Kampua Town, sad to say I can't say the same thing about parking


Hmm... Ol' Metho got a gate upgrade

Fellow ex-Metho should know what this is, it still looks the same

Wahaha I miss this football field. So many memories. Too bad it turned into a hockey field haihz... Wisma Sanyan and RH hotel in the background.

It's tuition free week and I'm supposed to relax after 4 tense study week, and here I am playing Driv3r =.=

They're just char goi

Start your day with kampua P: (SRC, in front of Star Cineplex)

Or if the shop have no more kampua (11am onwards sold out) some nice roti canai would be a good substitute (oopsie, I eated it XD Hon Hin Cafe)

The imposing tower of Wisma Sanyan, the tallest building in Sarawak. Town Square in the foreground.

Damn bad angle. I was aiming for the Paifang but the scary pointy banner got in the way. The ever-imposing Sanyan in the background.

Central Market, a 30 second driveway that turned into 3-5 minutes 0-5 Kmph drive because of the bottleneck traffic. We need a flyover here like the ones in Oil Town

Uncle! Signal la! XD Yeah we still have operational trishaw here, classic

The 'Rumah Bulat'. It's not a rumah, and it's not really bulat (octagonal) because it's a 2-storey food hub. Haven't eaten here for years.

The Rumah Bulat in the foreground, the old defunct cinema in the mid-ground, and again the imposing Sanyan in the background.

Bandong, Indonesia. Lol jk. To the right is the Bandong food court, opens only at nighttime. Great food P:

Just some snapshot for those (far away from home especially) who wanna see how Kampua Town is doing. Well, after today Ham is going to go back to Oil Town again since the free week will officially end on Sunday, tomorrow. For now, Ham is going to enjoy the last night and last 1/2 day of holiday in Kampua Town :)
