Bintulu first and only condo

Almost wanted to buy but decided against it. The structure had been abandoned for quite sometime before another company took over. Not too sure about the structural integrity of the building. Tempted just very tempted but no.... phobia about height!

The famous tamu - the pride of Tamin constituency!

This "tamu" was constructed and never used just like the balairaya and chapel we have shown earlier in this blog. Sheer waste of public fund isn't it?

If you ask him one moment he says he is 48 years old and the next moment 68 years- the correct and actual age – kasih neh udah short-circuit meh nya.
