historyyyy...

JENG JENG! hmm new post again.. this semester is not that busy compared to previous few semester, maybe its because no drawing class for AT5. therefore, the burden is not that heavy.. but somehow i can sense it will be tougher soon! HAH as i had mentioned before (if not mistaken laa) i got post about the sejarah thingy, oh man sejarah! this semester design class the assignments is about reviving the waterfront.. some sort of reminiscing those olden time glory and so we gotta study the entire history of Kuching, Sarawak. and ofcourse the main character who start first is James Brooke. Surprisingly, i actually love the story about kuching and those heritages are amazing with rich history behind. i get to know a lot of answers which had been doubt for years..

for examples: 
how many of you know that James Brooke is a gay? (checkout in wiki)
 
thatswhy after him, the second white rajah turn to his nephew

we know 3rd mile, 4 1/2 mile, 7mile... then where is the 0mile?? 
 
start counting from square fort.. somewhere there la!

there is actually a bandstand built on padang merdeka and there is a road before, spliting the upper and lower part of the padang.. it wasnt known as padang merdeka as well 100years ago



maybe some of these facts you may know already.. but for me, who never ever like to study about history, this is a new thing for me. and also im a 'lost sarawakian' who dont know my own hometown.. what a shame x.x remind me of a friend too.. who ever taught me so hard on this subject during secondary, i did ask her about why is it so important we have to study history. she replied.. IMPORTANT LAH! =.= what a simple answer without explanation. better dont answer...... BLAH e n d
