Fire at Lutong Baru

Yesterday evening, there was a big fire at Lutong Baru. It was at a site where waste plastic material was stored for recycling. The smoke can be seen miles away.

Good Bye Shell Lutong Old Office

After serving as offices for Shell in Lutong, these colonial style rock solid building was finally being demolished. I think they were build in the 50's.

The block faces the clinic. Used to house the Petroleum Engineering at the far end.

Used to house word processing and mail room downstairs. Upstairs used to be Operation at the near end.

The center block at this end was the computer room. At the far end, light green roof was the clinic. Four of my children were born there!

Shell Centenary Celebration - WHPH

The following are some of photos I took yesterday on the centenary celebration at KRP (Petroleum Recreation Club) Lutong. The celebration kicked off yesterday morning with a treasure hunt followed by an afternoon of work-hard-play-hard event.

Lots of fresh fruits

Games ...

Foods... burger, hot dog, ice cream, etc

Everyone had a good time!

Sand badminton! Irene demonstrated her 'kung-fu" skill...

Japanese wrestling! 

Ball game of a different kind!

Everyone had the opportunity to take a photo dated back to 1910!

Joshua was looking at the gold fish! Each one was sold for RM2.00. He pestered me for money but at the end, he got 4 fishes for free!

Hilarious fashion show... 

He was a hot favorite ... he did a fantastic job!

Lita was showing off at the cat walk!

The Angel...

She was so excited .... at the end, we all laughed until we almost fainted!

Technical knock out!

Jerry was probably the noisiest one at the field! But good... he added life to the games! 

Invisible energy was demonstrated at the tug-of-war. Non participants probably spend just as much energy "pushing"!

yeah... Simon ...

Ok, his team was the overall winner! Congratulations!

Cheap food is still available

I was driving Ah Jon to Uni and also brought along my 2 younger boys promising them breakfast in Lutong, specifically, kolo mee. That is the only way to get the two little boys from their slumber onto their feet in 10 seconds! Somehow, their ears can capture "favorable language" while they are asleep and can cause them instant excitement.
While we were in Lutong, I was disappointed because our favorite Lutong Cafe was closed. So, I turned disappointment to opportunity. Why not go to the Lutong market to try out the food there!
Since this is our first time there, we looked for the busiest store and decided to sit down with some older folks around us. We ordered 3 dry mee + 1 fried mee. Total cost was RM5.20!! The serving portions were reasonably big and tasted ok.
Being a "busy body", I began talking to the older folks sitting around me. I asked "How come your bowl is bigger?"... oh, I paid 20 cents extra. Then "How come you have egg in your fried noodle?"... oh, I paid 70 cents extra for the "extras". ok ok... you can always jia liao, ie, add extras. So it is really good value for money. Alright... there shall be more trips there in future. I was told that Ah Tat was the last store and his kolo mee is very popular.

I blog about Lutong town last time. I also noticed that the rebuilding of the burnt down shops is now starting again.

Note: There is only one price for everything at RM1.30.
