The first time I came here was in February 2011. It took almost 45 minutes for us to order few burgers, drinks, etc.!well... being the first ever a drive-thru fast food restaurant in Miri and just few months in operation, what do you expect? That was then. Yesterday, we spent almost 15 minutes just to order a burger???
Happy Birthday Darwish and be a good obedient boy. May Allah swt always be with you and bless you with good health, wealth and faith. Amiin.
Darwishs' beloved mom and dad - Wie and Fauzi. Congratulations to both of you as well.

This was our second time we went to one of its kind in Malaysia - the Petrosains. The first was around 7 - 8 years ago.
The first of its kind in Bintulu - Masjid Assyakirin Family Carnival 2011 was held at the Masjid compund itself on 14th and 15th of May 2011.
Despite heavy downpour, the organised program had successfully attracted thousands people from all walks of life.
They are not "Pegawai Agama" or Religious Officer, but some of the Street Soccer supporter who were enthusiastically watching the game under the drizzling rain.
Apart from the Street Soccer, there were numbers of entrepeneurs selling their products, from Nasi Beriyani, Rojak Buah, Books, Clothing, Filters, etc.

Another round of PLKN series. The objective is to enhance the spirit of patriotism among the young Malaysian; fostering national unity and integration; develop positive character/behavior/attitude through moral values; promote spirit of volunteerism and produce more vigorous young, intelligent and committed.
Laga’s eldest son Erwin Syarmizie was with us arriving from Brisbane, Australia, for the Program Latihan Khidmat Negara (PLKN) or literally translates National Service Program 2011. He is a very pleasant, polite, decent, humble, friendly and sensible young man.
After the past one week experiencing the El Niño effect, Alhamdullillah, praise only to Allah swt, that morning was showered by heavy cool rain. We took our breakfast at Refah Café – one of our favorites eating place in Bintulu. Participants are required to be at Bintulu Bus Terminal, Medan Jaya by 09:30 hours, hence after a brief breakfast, we arrived at the Terminal around 09:21 hours. To our surprise, despite the blessed shower; parents, relatives and friends supportively jam-packed the Terminal area ushering the One Malaysian participants departing for the PLKN’s Lanang Sibu Camp.
The registration process was very smooth, well managed and organised. Another thing that I must say; the crew, I mean the officers were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
Below, some of the faces - hundreds participants in one out of 10 buses (I think) showing their enthusiasm and commitment, though will be away from their families and comfort zones for about three months.
To Erwin and all the participants, we wish you all the best and enjoy your program.
