Back from Hometown

Dear blog, you're being abaonded abandoned lately. *See, spelling abandoned pun dah lupa*. There is one useful of blogging besides sharpen the idea of writings and sharing, correct the spelling.

Being have a long break from blogging.Real life been busy.If not busy there will be really no idea to write.

Recently, I was back to my hometown. Tada, a picture to share. All taken with Canon digital shot.

 When I look at bridge across the river, I count my age, as the same my age.

River still as the main medium of transport although it is accessable to road.

I cannot resist the swim in the water during the dry season, jump into the river with shirt and jeans..

I follow the sister to send her kids to school, my ex- primary school.I reminiscing the school kid memories.**Warning: Kindly dont' take this picture for your own use.I will find and punish you.This totally for blog reading  pleasure.***I did read about other blog, where her kid picture been used without permission for  advertising co.in Malaysia.

It is still dark in the early morning go to school.

Another view

Again. The picture of wongg babi during dry season.

Gain Some Water...

There was rain pouring down last night, at least cool down the dry spell we been expericed nowadays.The worst part during the dry season, the water tap could be dry also especially in some kampungs with no water supply aka ai pehintah or ai pasar.Some of them have to wake up as early 3.00 am to get pails of water because at that time can get a good water pressure to  gain a few pails of water.

Balleh river. The colour of water never change from yellow. People call this Milo water. Don't the water look yummy,is it?

Our people name this river wongg babi, at Mujong river.There so many boars swim across this river during dry season. I saw once 20 yrs ago.Water level reduce duirng dry season, and you can see true crystal colour of the water. During childhood, the river always our favourite place to cool down ourselve during dry season, mandi until forget to go home or until the eyes red then go home.Mandi sungei everyday,the best part of my life my kid could never experience it nowaday.

I heart My Longhouse

This is not so old story to share.About 3 months ago I was in my long house to visit my parents. Now I plan a time to go back again.

How I miss my little village so much. This bridge as same age as me. I still remember the official ceremony of lunching this bridge. We jump to the water to get the balloon before it go with the river flow down to the stream.

I won't regret.But if I got the choices I will choose to stay in this little village, living a simple life. Nowadays nothing is simple as that simple.What simple life mean to me maybe different to you.After all, I have to fulfill a demand of life and seek for better choices.

Once upon a time, now very rare or no more , this river as a source of food from fish caught.Everyday the folks ate fish with many ways to serve; fried fish, steam fish , salai fish and pekasam fish with kepayang. I just name a few type of fish from Empurau, tengadak and semah.Now, baong fish pun hardly to catch.

That Empurau Picture from here.

Sunged was sitting at the ruai with her ineks.Ruai as a place to connect the people after having a work day or having a chit chat at ruai before go to bed or you can do handy craft like crochet and share your pattern with other folks or you can share your expertise of making pua kumbu at ruai.

Bathing at river on fine evening and you can swim as farrrrrr as you can.

Or you can use sampan to go to other river with crystal water.


Sunged with lovely grandpa.



Grandpa is always loving person as always.

Sunged in the sampan.

Longhouse folk's faces before jump up and down into the river.

Having a good time at a long house.

I love to eat bamboo shoot

Being so lazy to share in this blog lately..

As a story to share...

Last weekend i've spent time with my family. One of the activity go to jungle to find a bambo shoot. Here we got! I love bamboo shoot and today for lunch i have bamboo shoot. . I cook it with tempoyak soup and i put some chillies. So yummy to resist!

I curios about the good one of consuming bamboo shoot !

NUTRITIONAL QUALITIES

Bamboo shoot is rich in vitamins, cellulose, amino acids and trace elements and is a good source of fibre. Bamboo shoot comprises 90% water. Edible content of a newly harvested shoot is usually 25 to 30 per cent, with smaller shoot yielding a lower percentage edible content. Bamboo shoot can be consumed fresh or processed. Fresh Bamboo shoot has a crisp & sweet flavour. Bamboo Shoot is used in oriental cooking as an extender because it takes on the flavour of the ingredients it is cooked with.

It is reported that Bamboo shoot has some effect in cancer prevention and is very popular in the

South East Asian countries. It is also used to increase the appetite and decrease blood pressure and cholesterol. As a widely consumed vegetable, Bamboo Shoot can be labelled as a heart protective vegetable and its component phytosterols may be suitable as nutraceuticals. more reading...

Wordless Wednesday- Nanga Mujong

A night at Damai Beach Resort, Kuching

Before tsunami case in Japan,We was on our way to Damai Beach Resort.This is where Sarawak Culture Village situated. (Saja bagi tau). Dari kejauhanan kita boleh nampak Mount Santubong as a backdrop of Damai Resort. Aku pun konpius mana satu Gunung Serapi. Nama aja tinggal di Kuching, tapi jarang jarang explore.

Yang best we stay at chalet dekat dengan persisiran pantai.

The room is cozy and comfy.Saja tak on lighting, jimat karan ( bagus betol customer ini ) , hari masih siang ma. For dinner we jalan jalan cari makan in Kampung Buntal. Hunting for Seafood. Yummy.

The next morning, masa kami nak keluar, there was a piece of note from an unknown lady with a message (ask to call her and mingle around) with a telephone number. Let assume. Maybe she looking for someone and wrong room number or maybe she just drop note on purpose in any door and target the customer for 'something' . Huhu, dunia sekarang macam macam ada, buat Tuhan marah saja !

Wall deco.

Bermain ombak dan bermandi manda air masin.

Bujang Sudin Sang Crocodile...takes revenge

Last last weekend we went out to Jong Crocodile Park at Siburan there. Entrance fees RM10 adult and infant RM5.00 for local people.Outing during weekend is like a must activity in our family.This my third time being here.Demi bawa anak tengok dunia, many time pun tak apa.

Ni masuk saja, terus disambut Si Sudin. I mean after the entrance there you'll see this crocodile name Bujang Sudin being caged.

According to our story tale, crocodile will take revenge against you if you kill them. Ad satu cerita aku dengar di Pakan, dimana penduduk tidak berani mandi sungai gara gara si buaya mencari mangsa untuk membalas dendam, sebab manusa telah membunuh anaknya atau sedara mara si buaya tersebut.

Next to Bujang Sudin there i forgot to capture the pix is Pak Endon .(Klasik betul nama dorang ) which is older than Bujang Sudin, if not mistaken the sign board mention the year 1963. Almost retire punya crocodile.

This during feeding time at 3.00 pm..There were so many crocodiles.Besor-besor!

Some of the actions.

Aksi yang pelbagai

Lagi aksi yang pelbagai..

Besides crocodile. You can see a nice view.

Big bird ! Lama juga burung ini sudah ada di sini.
Arapaima Gegas.The big carnivore fish. (Sorry i cant remember the spelling.)
