Tradisi Merasa Nasi Baru

Well, not too old story for sharing. Last Sunday after Sunday Mass we have this kind of tradition of gathering among families, neighbors and villagers eat new rice produced from first harvested. After harvesting season, Gawai Festival is approaching. Time flies fast.

The Nasi Baru after cooked and dibungkus dalam daun buan.

The outcome from the leave.The aroma of the rice so heaven! I could tell you cannot resist to add another plates of rice and serve with bamboo chicken.Life so good.





After so long, how could i forgot the name of this fruit.I think this Iban black olive.. Bidayuh call this ' buah kop'.

After boiled, they marinate in tempoyak according to aunty. Taste like kuaci but a bit sour.

45 Minutes Walk to Kampung Assam.

Last weekend, we went back to Kampung Assam to attend hubby's cousin's wedding, you'll see the road sign which is the same way to Borneo Highland Resort. We drove from the main road, but in order to go to the kampung the road is not assessable by vehicle. We had to use bus no 11 walk for 45 minutes to reach home.So kiralah ambik peluang exercise dan buang lemak.

Some of the moments captured during the walk.I feel want to jump over when pass by the small river. Fresh water.Air yang berbatu-batu .Nature lover can come here if you miss the jungle.

I want to teach Sunged to be tough by walk on her own. Dia berjalan beriringan dengan kazen dia yang pakai jersi Manchester tu.Kadang kadang tu dia throw the tantrum sebab berjalan dalam kepanasan pagi. Kalau dia menangis barulah i atau bapa dia yang dukung.Waktu tu dalam jam 1o lalu macam tu. Nasib baik berjalan dalam hutan, kalau dekat pasar dah segaut mencari tempat berteduh.

I wonder how the villagers carry the heavy goods like furnitures, refrigerator and generator. Benda yang berat berat masuk kampung. Uncle dia cerita' Zaman dahulu dimana belum adanya jalan seperti sekarang, mereka berjalan selama berhari hari kalau balik dari sesuatu tempat'.There are no basic utilities in this kampung. They use generator and water from the mountain. As i see it, this Kampung not that far from Kuching.Tak sampai 8 jam pun.(Kalau 8 jam dah pergi Sibu dah by bus.)Tapi...yalah....

There was a primary school in this area. Teringat aku sekolah aku dulu. Sekolah di lembah bukit.Indah!

I guess the chalet is teacher's quarters and the classroom.

I was so hungry bear during reach at home.Yalah! Lepas berjalan 45 minutes katakan! We served with nasi pansoh or bamboo rice or rice cook in bamboo and oyok pansoh. Yummy!Life is so good.

Picture above non related to trip to Kg.Assam. That one we as a parent attend a dinner for Sunged, organized by nursery with Fairy Tale theme. I like. Sunged suppose to take part in the stage. Tapi dia menangis dan meminta 'pepet' alu sik jadi ngan orang show. Stage fright.

p/s:- Life can be tough sometimes but i don't ever compare because some of others don't even have one. Begitu kah?
