A Fantastic Acrobat!!

Well well! ... who can be better off in this field
of acrobatic? Our friend here is doing it with full confidence. He is swinging freely like a bird in the sky......... I am sure he will land immaculately!

Wild Orchids

I was travelling down the trunk road between Selangau and Sibu town. Along the road we can see this unexpectedly beautiful wild orchids
growing there. .....

The picture shows how one would see from far and the other is the close shot of same. Just appreciate how beautiful these orchids can be!!! That 's what nature can offer.

Pelik,Tapi Benar!!




Looks funny though!, but I get the message........ Maybe the world should relook at Esperanto again ha ha.




Well, sometimes that 's what communication is all about ...Getting the message across. Come to think of it, had the phrase been written the way it should be.......nobody would have probably really cared to read it.Ha ha that s the trick sometime in order to get attention.

Nostalgic Place by the River

Most probably not many can one find this type of building in not many years to come. Actually this type of dwellings are disappearing ('ditelan zaman', so to speak)in no time. In the past this particular one was used by my great grandparents to store 'ripo'(grinded sago logs) before it was processed to extract sgao flour in the traditional way termed as 'Mengenyak'. I bet not many people nowadays rememeber the term notably amongst the young Melanaus whose ancestors used to carry out such activity for their livelyhood.

On the other portion of the building, placed the 'Belanga' where sago pellets were produced, again by tradtional way and unique to the Melanau community. The 'Belanga' is actually an oven-like piece of work/place made up of dried clay. This is also the place where the Melanau biscuits-'Tebaloi' were/are baked.

Sooner or later this place will be just the memory of the thing in the past as less and less of our present generation engage in the above-mentioned activities.
However, it is not too late to capture this type of scenery if one travels down the river along Oya River(esp from Kpg. Medong,Kekan, Dalat, Tanam, etc), in Sarawak.

This picture probably tells the future in the usage of the English language in this country..."HALF ROOD" close!!!
I think this will definitely happen by the way the emphasis is given in the teaching as well as its discontinuing usage in teaching Maths & science recently.
Then, how are we going to face the world if the language is seemed to be given a back seat treatment in our education system?
