I spotted a very old red Fiat coupe the other morning and took a quick snap before I drove off as this is the first time that I’d seen a red model like this. In general Fiats are seldom seen here in Kuching since the seventies and early eighties as they have stopped selling them then. I bought my dream car a Fiat X1/9 (a Bertone designed mid-engine targa top) when I first started work in Kuala Lumpur after graduating from university. I dreamt about it for the longest time and when I could finally afford my first car, I bought one! I really regretted selling my X1/9 now but it gave me a hell of lot of problems when I owned it then! I’d since stuck to ’soul-less’ but reliable Japanese makes. *sigh*
Anyway more commonly seen are these reddish bark trees found along Sg Sarawak Kanan as well as Sg Sarawak Kiri that I’d posted on previously when you kayak through the rainforests of Kuching.
Perhaps both of these are not that commonly seen or even known. Have you seen either or both of them? Never mind if you haven’t as you have seen ‘em both here now!
Enjoy. And have a Wonderful Weekend!

u no horiday today ah?
Fh2o, I took have a Red Car Story. A Red Celica with number plate “Ten.1″.
I bought it in the mid 90s. I still remember that day well. I was driving around Melbourne one day in a maroon Holden Commodore and decided to stop by a Toyota delaership to have a “look”. I saw a gleeming Red Celica ZR in the window and thought to myself “there’s no harm in looking!”
I went inside but one thing led to another and before you know it, I had bought myself a brand new Red sports car!!
But there was a small problem, I hadn’t asked my “financial controller” aka “controller”!! She gave me hell and I claimed temporary insanity. To this day, I am still the “unforgiven”!
My son Chris now drives Ten.1 not knowing how much it had cost me!
They say that painting a car red makes it go faster. That’s why so many sports cars are red.
Does a red tree grow faster?
My word verification:
You never can be absolutely sure
Color does not affect reality;
Red faster, purple powerful, white pure,
Uplifting blue or gray’s neutrality.
FH2o seems to like green
So deep by water flowing clean.
FIAT: Fix It Again Tony…
