Launching of Sarawak New State Legislative Assembly Hall

Been passing Waterfront few times… and been taking pictures of this new building few times… But the building was officially opened last night… Monday, 27th July 2009… And I guess all of Kuching people should remark this date to remember the grand opening of the new Sarawak State Legislative Assembly Hall (DUN)… Attended by thousands of Kuchinginites… Officially launched by the King…Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin…

Located few miles away from town… and placed in the Petra Jaya area… With the picturesque view of the Sarawak River.. it is just opposite the Kuching Waterfront… Making the people on the waterfront area to have the very wonderful view of this building…

According to BERNAMA, this  project is a joint-venture of Sarawak’s leading construction companies which are PPES Works (Sarawak) Sdn Bhd and Naim Cendera Sdn Bhd, after they were awarded the contract by the state government on June 28 2005…172-acre site with 9 level building and equipped with state-of-the-art intelligent building automation systems, multimedia communication facilities and environmentally-friendly features, its other notable features included a parade ground, a 1,000- capacity state banquet hall, a car park for 315 cars as well as the waterfront…The  project cost RM296.5 million, design and build contract was awarded by the State Government of Sarawak…

During the launching, they were also the state Rulers, mentris besar, CMs and even speakers from other state assemblies witnessing the grand launching of this building… Kuching was kind of busy during the date…  even few days before that… you could see police were everywhere… at  each junctions, they will be at least one police or traffic police were scouting the area… so that the road was clear…and everything  goes well…. and yeah,  they did it…

I remember, Cyril and me went to the town around 4pm.. and our luck was bad… why? Every time we reached one junctions, must be one police were standing there to close down the road… It just bad… we will surely at the back of the last car to enter the junctions… *sighs* And when we reached Waterfront, the Regatta was already finished… so, the next event will be at 8pm… so, Cyril and me decided to watch movie… whatever movie on that time… He called STAR Cineplex to ask… During that, we met Fahriee… He came across us… what a small world… talked with him for a while and took picture with him… with his tag… *jealous with his tag* What tag? ask him to blog about the tag… don’t ask me… rofl =P

STAR Cineplex was emptied… and the only movie during that time was ” The Last House on the Left“… and guess what? The movie was superb!!! it’s about criminal… murdering…and rapping… I could say, you should watch this movie… it’s good… and you’ll learn a few lessons after that… you should go and watch!!! =P

When the movie done, that was already quite dark outside… stepped outside the cinema hall, and watched night scenery of the grand night… awesome!!! With the lights on everywhere… all the decorations… it was just an awesome scenery we hardly see during the ordinary days…

Went down, and each of every corners were full with people… Thank God Cyril and me got the first class view for the night which lasted not that long… STUPID THE MARITIME!!! another people whom brought his DSLR too… I hate him… not him… his girlfriend… kept on pumping on my arm… and when it times for me to take pictures, the pictures turned out to be so bad… because of her! another case, two couple… having five or four children… OMG!!! it was annoying…  with the crying sounds of the baby… with the other child some more… they should just watch it at home instead of coming to the crowds bringing the children… it annoys me so much!!!!

What else bad? The timing… they said, and I even read it on the event schedule pasted on the board… the event will start at 8pm… but what happened? It started at 9pm… an hour late!!! OMG!!! I was already not in the mood… and started to talk craps about the King, Rulers and everyone…. Started to hate everyone around me…  damn it!

So,when it started, I was kind of… okay… nevermind… I still could enjoy this… but what happened then, few of the floats were nothing but float… no lights and everyhting… I just could not impressed by all the floats… my mood was not there… and the late some more.. all became yuks!!! not more fun… I just took pictures and discussed with Cyril about the float… I think he will be agree with me too… it was just ordinary…

Then, you know the ship or cruise used by them  to go from Astana to the Waterfront? it was sucks!!! and stupid!!! The Tanjung Payong cruise… why? you know, while enjoying myself and even Cyril… There were few of the staffs, they went on blocking my view… they changed the cruise position… and attached it very much closed to the one used  by the rulers… and I was at the center of the ships… I was kind of… damn la you people… Tak boleh ka wait this event habis untuk you people parking betul betul the ship… or why don’t you just left with the ships from that area… blocking us whom standing there.. watching the event… They did not even used it after that… why did not they move it away from that side… Bukan nya diaorang nak naik lagi pun… damn la… so stupid… macam la sungai tu kecil sangat until they have to park it there saja… and kacau us… not only me gone mad with this, but all the people around me… after the parked they ship right in front of me, the staffs pula yang terhegeh-hegeh brdiri luar ship tu… and every photos I took, I have to crop it… Their kepala were in!!! why did not they think… about the ship’s parking and even the staff… people were hoping to watch it clearly… but the ships blocked us… and then, the staffs… *sighs* poorly organized….

After all, the most satisfied thing was, the fireworks… Even though I am a type of person whom scared of explosion even though it’s just fireworks… but I could say, I enjoyed it so much… It was brilliant… it was superb… it was nicely organized… I love watching it… it happened few minutes with the explosions on air… with nicely “decorated” fireworks…and I so much entertained by the fireworks…  AWESOME!! Thank God, rain fell after the event ended… meaning, I was lucky for that… =P
