Finally, I visited Boulevard today

Since Saturday, 22/12/2007...I have tried to visit Boulevard Shopping Mall, the latest mall in Kuching with my bro-in-law from Sibu but the crazy traffic jam like no law is applicable totally prevented me from entering the main roads.

We have to go other places as there is no way to go there...

Not be discouraged by the first try, we try again the next evening, Sunday...even worst. The traffic jam started even before reaching the 3rd mile flyover.

We have to believe that the fatal attraction is there...but wondering why such a huge turnout though not many shops were ready there.

But we concurred that the place is like a mountain of spilled honey...for sure a lot of ants will be grouping there...

Well, last night...my wife ask me to try another time...this round we go around 8.30pm...yes we manage to pass through the mall after trailing in the jam for at least 20 minutes (in Kuching standard, this is a very bad jam) but decided not to go in as we could not find any parking space nearby, so we ended doing our grocery shopping at our favourite place...Everise 4th Mile.

Ever determined to enter this new mall, hence, after attending Christmas Mass this morning, we want to give another try, yes...we smoothly entered the parking bays (of course as the time is only 9.30a.m).

As I enter the mall, I noticed that it is still very dirty with muds, dusts and unsettled works. I observed no cleaner at sight to clean the mess (probably they are just too tired of mopping in the last few days as expected a lot of footprints made by score of ten thousands of visitors coupled with wet conditions).


We were only in the mall for less than 15 minutes, we decided to leave as there is nothing much to see where many shops are still under renovations and beside the condition is "dirty" with dusts.

Basically, the shopping environment is not conducive as yet. Many shoppers were there probably due to the new opening and all may just want to have a glimpse of the new mall.

I hope the management of the mall will quickly address some of the glaring weaknesses to ensure this hyper mall will truly shine its majestic beauty to all shoppers soonest before few of its rivalry opens out.

The next one will the Spring opening which has been scheduled on 10th January 2008 ! Let's see how they perform...

This is what we call "sun-si-hang" in cantonese - "new toilet", ha ha ha!

Luckily me and hubby smart, we figured there's nothing to see, you can sense it from how messy the outside of the mall building was on the evening before the opening. It still looked like it's still under construction. How many shops would have opened in conditions like that!?

I've got a hunch Spring will have a much nicer opening, they've alrdy almost cleaned up the outside. We'll have to wait and see I guess!

Opposite to Everise 4th mile.

In two days time, Spring will be open by our beloved CM. This will the largest and prettiest in the whole of Sarawak...as the press said.. This is near Kenyalang Park..

These two are the hottest spots in Sarawak at this moment. I am sure you will be one of the crowd when you are back here in a month's time.
