Miri's my hometown! And is where the historical Mulu Caves are. The experience of being in the Mulu Caves is overwhelming. Imagine an area of caves. AND. It's as big as Singapore. Yes, although Singapore is not even noticeable in the world map, but still - its substantial
300K+ population, tallest building which would be the Imperial Mall is not more than 30 stories. Alot of pubs around but everybody goes to only 1 pub, which is the Balcony. To alot of Mirians, going to Balcony is like a place where you can meet the Brad Pitts and Angelina Jolies of the world and they dress up like their dads gonna think they're goin to a ball at midnight. And the Japanese culture has creaped into them but they're failing miserably.
And so all the other pubs live on renting their chinese bar staffs to the public. Mirians just dont know how to promote competition to benefit themselves eventually.
Mirians.... SIGH.... like to go to politician open houses during CNY to get free food & ang pows & watch FREE lion dances trying to keep their balance on the stilts. So thats why BN reigns supreme in this part of the country, coz they fucking distribute free food and give ang pows and call up the lion dances... MAN, if i was politician, id be CM of Sarawak.
But Miri is the place i wanna be when im raped by my clients. Because its by the coastal area so you can eat, drink, party, have sex at the beach and i wake up to food on the table and i dont get stuck in traffic jams and i dont pay parking tickets, i can just not give a fuck about anything.... so Miri as you're trying to imagine now, isnt that bad afterall.
ANYWAY, to my point..... i mean what the Title suggests.
Bekenu has a population of not even 6 digits and 99% of that 5 digits you cant even see. Coz they live in the farms, by the sea and in the plantations. The city centre has not more than 10 blocks of shops and they're all 2 stories tall. And half of them are not opened.
But what the fuck is Starbucks doing there...

"Alot of pubs around but everybody goes to only 1 pub, which is the Balcony. To alot of Mirians, going to Balcony is like a place where you can meet the Brad Pitts and Angelina Jolies of the world and they dress up like their dads gonna think they're goin to a ball at midnight." -------> Is that how you think or how every Mirians think? Sounds like you're stereotyping. Get your facts right before you try to accuse or belittle Mirians. I don't think Balcony is the only place Mirians go. Maybe its because you've never been to any other club besides Balcony in Miri? Plus everyone who goes clubbing knows that its ok to dress up! You're CLUBBING. Have you seen anyone in KL go clubbing dressed down?
hahahahaha WTF.
and who are those 3 people sitting outside there like that! workers or customers! :p
hi, get to know u 4rm kennysia!
i know where bekenu is! if u wanna go upriver 2 d ulu areas have 2 get 4wd 4rm miri to bekenu n onto long loyang/long san. dat place is like the last civilised area b4 u go into the unknown world of ruthless roads and crazy timber truck drivers...
i'm from Miri too! I've got relatives in Bekenu, I'll get them to give me their verdict on SETARBAKs hahahahahha
On Mirians being dressed up to club.. most of them are either too casual or too skanky.
Wah! Desmond is becoming a femes blogger!
Now, with anonymous flamers!
;)
aiya desmond kiu...u xiasoi mirians jak...tat place in beranang la not bekenu!!
p/s: by the way u been to bekenu not?? :P
read this link http://www.malsingmaps.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=2226
I was born bekenu, stay bekenu...never saw that before..hurm..
Hi Mr Anonymous flamer, (as Kenny puts it)
Now im sorry my dear. I know how it feels to dress up and look good when you go out clubbing, just mind me coz im just a looser who's too old to dress up
And when i say everybody goes to Balcony, it means its the most popular place in Miri. It's like ppl say "everybody knows Obama" even my priest talks about him in the church sermon. But ppl who live in the slums of India got no TV, they dont know Obama... So take it easy girl, dont take things too literally
And whoever asked me if ive ever been to bekenu, answer is yes almost every week when i was in miri. Its bout an hours drive and we go there for the TUTU fish
haha... hey there, i'm from miri too. i used to received an email about this SETARBAKs in bekenu before too. looks like it is gaining its popularity now. been to bekenu once, also for the TUTU fish. hmmm, i've no comment bout balcony though cos i never been there :p i rather go SETARBAKs! hahaha....
Suet Li: Oh you've never heard of Bekenu? My God, thats where Brad Pitt was born. That's why he's got blonde hair, something he got from the monkeys
Pitt was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma. (Wikipedia)
??????? So which 1 is true??
lv: yeah nothing beats the TUTU fish! According to my old man, TUTUs had a horrible demand back in the days because its tasteless. You know, back then they had salt and pretty much nothing else. So that was pretty much shit fish back then but its amazing how its evolved to become such a sought-after, premium, high priced fish.
Shenesse: I meant that as a racist joke :) Sorry if it sounded to real ;)
that setarbak kopi if not mistaken is around selangor area...not bekenu la....
desmond...i think u just copied the picture from other blogs...bcoz i've seen this picture all around the blogoshpere...
