My take :
First all the hoopla about getting a direct Shanghai flight, which didn't come to fruition. Then this Singapore direct flight which didn't last a year. The sad part is, it seems that the Singapore flights are actually quite popular. Yet this was suspended. This is all becoming a really bad joke.

Well it's the time of the year again - this Chinese New Years' falls exactly on February 14th - Valentine's Day - and we would like to wish our readers a joyous and prosperous New Tiger Year and a romantic Valentine's night out.

As such - it's Gong Xi Bazaar time in Miri Town going on in High Street & Kingsway Road in town starting today at 5pm.

So beware the area will be a massive jam along High Street, Bendahara, Raja Road - if you're driving, please park at the Municiple Multi-Story Car Park if you plan to go there. If you're walking, it is just a short distance walk from the major hotels in town area.

There will be a Dragon Dance performance and some other performances every single night until Chinese New Year's Eve.

Watch a video highlight here (2008).
