Sarawak vs Johor

I was in Kuching last weekend... spending my time there with my lecturers and my coursemates. Sunday evening... fuh!!! The lec is over and half of the stresses gone... My coursemate called me... "nangga bola jum"... Great idea... plus... its related with what i'm doin rite now...

Sarawak won the game that night with 3-2 against Johor. Mohd Safee scored 2 goals in the 45th and 55th minutes (penalty) and in the 82nd minute, Junaid scored the winner... hip hip hoorey!!! Johore scored through Nafuzi and Khairul in the 75th and 83rd.

Well... the Crocs now having 7 points from the 3 games and leading the Group A....


The Crocs motto....


Rite after Mohd Safee scored the first goal...


The penalty...


Final result


Bravo CROCS!!!!

My Long House

Almost all Iban families stay in the long house or have a house in the long house. Although some of us stay in town but during Gawai Dayak, we will return back to our long house.

Living in a long house is not that easy... there will be less privacy. But... no need to be worried if you want to go for a vacation. Everyone in the long house will help you to look after your house.

For the time being, I'm not staying at the long house but since my grandma staying alone, I used to visit her and sometimes sleep there... at her longhouse.

This is my own family longhouse or...I can say this is Fred's future house. He will be given this longhouse as he is the only son in the family.

Outside...


We call this ruai besai... if I'm not mistaken... hehehe... Our house is no 7 and we have 33 families here means... 33 houses or 'pintu'.

Perhaps, next year we can celebrate Gawai Dayak here. Belum siap lagilah tahun ni....

My First Handphone

In 1999, my dad bought the first hp for me and it cost him RM800++. Actually he didnt want to spoil me by buying expensive thing but since I'll be going to the National Conference at the Peace Haven in Genting, he had to buy or else they can't investigate call me.

During that time, this hp is among the most expensive hp sold at the Hong Kong Photo Studio, Sarikei... My first number is 019-876.... forgot the rest. No screen colour... no vibration... no polyphonic tone...


Mitshubishi - grey in colour. Weight around 200-300g or more...


15.5 cm long from the bottom to the antenna


Unactive flip...

I bet nobody want to use this type of hp now a day. Plan to keep it for the rest of my life and it can worth me RM500, 000 in 20 years time... I guess... hehehe...

Smile

Have u ever heard a song senyum?... part of the lyrics... senyum seindah suria, yang membawa cahaya, senyumlah dari hati, duniamu berseri... dengan senyuman terjalinlah ikatan....

Why we smile? Do we have to smile every second? senyum sorang-sorang, itu orang gila


Smile when you meet peoples....



Smile when u r thinking of something funny...

Smile eventhough u r tired...


Smile when u know someone give u present


Smile... so that they know u cut your hair already.....heh.....

Unwanted Necklace

I bought a new book cabinet for my room last week. I started cleaning my room.. looking for some rubbish that i kept for years... some of the stuff i dont use anymore but since it was put inside the box, i never knew it still exist.

Then, suddenly I found this necklace. Cross in my mind immediately... I dont deserve this necklace and anything related with it...

I know its look beautiful but doesn't mean I have to keep it anymore. All I want is something that can be appreciated and something that benefit me. Sound so demanding huh? Oh please!!! Do not afraid to give me presents as long as you are sincere enough for that. I will appreciate it... trust me. Even just a piece of paper, I'll keep it for the rest of my life because I appreciate true friendship.


The beautiful necklace... used to wear it for some formal dinner.


He just want to experience the way women feel...


Hahaha.. .I should did this long long time ago...

My Cousin, Joshua Gundi

Everytime visiting Kuching, I stay with my uncle, my dad's youngest brother. This is his youngest son of 3. Since they are mix Iban Kenyah, normally we speak BM at home.


Kak... ambik gambar Shua k?


Kakak cudah ambil gambar tak?


Kak..pat cikit....

The Joy Of Christmas..

I know its still early to celebrate the Christmas Day but He is everyday in our heart. We had a wonderful Pre-Christmas celebration last Sunday nite.

Christmas Tree


Gift ex-change

I'm sure Fred will write more on this. Have a blessed Christmas to all Christian readers.

He's here!!!!

The owner of this camera is here right now....

Watermelon

Lil sis loves eating watermelon and plan to have her own plantation in the future... For the beginning she just plant the watermelon on next to the drain.... clever girl.



The black ant.


The flower... it will change into fruit after the fertilization


As i told u.... see the flower on the top of the baby fruit?


Em... i hope it will grow bigger and bigger....

Flowers

I love photography but I dont have any oppurtunity to learn it formally. During my uni time, I did illegally attend some of the lecture in photography with my friend. There are only two reasons i did it...

1. My friend wants me to understand his field -everything related with art- ( I did... but its hard for him to understand my field -everything related with bio- ...nevermind... cerita basi already )

2. I love photography... with or without him, I still love this field.

Erk... this pic was taken yesterday at my former primary school.. dont ask me anything about the ISO, saturation, focus..bla..bla... I know nothing... hehehe.... Just enjoy the pics ok?

Talk About Food

This time I capture almost every pics of food that we ordered when i was in Kuching....

Place : Siang Siang Corner Matang

Pork Leg Rice (no comment... my friend ate this)


Salad Chicken Rice (no comment)


French Fries... (1 from 5)

Place : Kopitiam Satok


Not bad... or may be because i was so hungry during that time...

Place : This one just near the new Pizza Hut at Jalan Song, Tabuan

Sate... not bad...


Pork Porridge...find somewhere else to eat porridge... hehehe....

Anyway... i still prefer Sarikei's and Sibu's food compare with the food in Kuching. Sorry to Kuching peoples but you must try our food here first. There was one time I ordered Mee Sua (long life mee - Foochow) at the King Centre... I just gave it 2 out of 10...

My Friend's Wedding

Aha.. this is some stupid thing happened yesterday. Few couples were married during the school holiday. One of my colleague (N) married 3 years ago but I'm not sure whether they had the reception or just a simple wedding ceremony...

Yesterday morning I walked to another colleague's table and saw the wedding invitation card between N and his hubby J. I can't explain how 'keciknya ati aku' when I saw that card. Why she didn't invite me?

I know its not a good idea to read something that not belong to us but ...ngeh... I opened the card and ...keh keh keh... basi punya invitation.... 28th May 2002...

I told N and we can't stop laughing....
"Sampai hati u didn't invite me N"
"Eh... hello... do I know u during that time? Why are u thinking that I want to do the reception after 3 years of marriage aaaaa?"
"Nolah... lot of our colleagues married ba... may be u feel like want to renew and refresh your marriage..."

kehkehkehkehkehkehkehkehkehkehkehekhekheekekheel.......

Sweet Memories In Sabah

Sabah is my second best place to visit after Kuching... (in Malaysia). What make Sabah the wonderful place for me beside than Kuching?Talk about Kuching first.

"emmm... masa aku kenak grace dolok, she was a congek (manja) girl... selalu kitaorg pujuk nya dolok mun nya merajuk..Tapi sekarang..... she was change!!!" - my matriculation friend...
Em... agree with that... last time i'm quite manja and always merajuk... may be peoples surround me like to pujuk but now, I'm alone..nobody want to pujuk if i'm merajuk.

"She's cute, sweet, friendly, softspoken and easy to get along with... but havent seen her for quite sometimes. Yea, last time was in year 2003, when she did her KPLI in Miri. One thing which keep on making me smile when thinkin of her was, when she clumsily came to me during sunday service at Canada Hill Church and said her car was stolen, stolen at the church premise.. and she started to cry.. I helped her to search for the car, and you know what, she parked somewhere at the back of the church.. not at the place where she use to part everytime. She actually forgot whe she parked the car and she thought i was stolen... heheheh... That was funny.. Cant imagine how "kede" was you that time.. Anyway, it leaves a memory about you which I wont forget for the rest of my life. Cheers!" - my friend from USM now working in KL.

MIA

Hello guys... I'm out starting from tommorow till dunno.... most probably until next week. Sorry for that... my bro also quite busy rite now..preparing himself for his final sem test.

Don't miss me.... hehehe....

Take a deep breath...

Few weeks ago, I received an offer letter from xxx. Before that they aslo print out one offer letter and give it by hand. Its mean they gave me two offer letters. They even called to the office to make sure that I'm giving them the correct postal address. Look like they really want me to join them huh????

BUT, this afternoon one of the officer called me, telling me that they gonna have a meeting to discuss about my status... *sigh* I told the officer, I'm really dissapointed with the administration. If they feel that I'm not good enough for that, why they gave me the offer? What kind of offer is that?

Now, I miss the another chance from the other xxx. I was about to apply... *sigh* Sad...sad...sad..

Math Exercise Book

Few months before we went to our long house cemetery. I'd found my dad math's exercise book at my supergreat grandfather grave. Not me actually but my dad found it himself. Then he showed it to us.... Fred and I took some pics of it.... hehehe

According to my dad... our supergreat grandfather always kept all their exercise books and put it under his pillow. So, when he dead, they gave it to him (we called it baya in Iban)... put it all inside his new 'house'.


Hehehe... see.... he can't answer the simple questions...

Now, everytime they (my dad/aunty/uncle) complaining about our bad calculation in Maths, we'll answer like this ... we saw your calculation before.... and giggling. Bad huh?

New Blog

After two months thinking of this, i changed my blog address today. Peoples keep on asking me about pakanlife but i seldom talked about pakan... i felt its unfair for pakan... So, this is my new blog address... The Hornbill and I'll talk anything there.

Hari Raya

My dad's cousin @ my aunty called my mum yesterday. She asked us to visit their house for Raya at Taman Bintang today (Chris... I was at your place this evening). Around 1pm we (mum, lil sis and me) left home. Eh, where is dad and Fred? Dad has to accompany his friend to Rejang Medical Centre... sending his friend's mother inlaw. Fred still in KK... sleeping. Hehehe... Wei Fred... we ngabanglah today... Don't jilis aaa...
There are two ways to reach Bintangor from Sarikei if you plan to drive. One way is using the main road... Borneo Highway while the other way... the shortcut is crossing the Nyelong River. You need to use the ferry which cost you RM1.


Normally I didnt take any pics when eating... hehehe... Anyway, after eating, I went to the kitchen and saw this ketupat. I asked permission from my aunt to take the pic... You want to put the ketupat pic inside your photo album is it? I answered back No la... for my blog only. Okaylah.... Hehehe... I know, she doesn't know what does blog mean but nevermind aunty... Selamat Hari Raya for u and ur family...



kEnyang already... let go back home...
