Samu....

A contented brother who just simply loves his sister's cooking...

A must for every breakfast..nasi goreng with corned beef...

Upa lalis,durian goreng & teluk buntal masak with buah terong...

the humble grilled ikan masin pari is a delicacy when kakak masak...

Teluk buntal & buah terong

Pansuh pama

Kari manok upa pantu

ikan buntal masak asam

A loving sister toils all day long & night just to prepare food for adik tersayang...ha..ha..

A handful of permanent residents of the longhouse. The others have all gone to work elsewhere. Come Gawai,baru rami....

Aku,Wit,ukai nama selalu di dinga kita selalu begulai enggau sida ke nembiak..rindu begulai enggau sida. Sigi rindu..ko cikgu.

Ko aku: amat..enda berasai ari begulai enggau sida ke biak..asai ke biak belama.

Wat: Namo namo teh kita tu? Nyamai endar teh tu?

Bala: Teh biasa nya..teh Lipton..

Wat: Pia..nyamai endar..enggi kami enda ngeyamai tu.

Ha..ha..ha..

Kaki jari ke burak peda kita berimbai enggau aku duduk iya nya enggi Jatan tang enda di gambar Entrie.

Duduk di ruai yang sunyi sepi. Ngelama tu setak ulu bisi 2 iko security guards ngibun ruai tang meh seduai tu udah nadai.

Tanduk rusa ba ruai sida apai Jill bekau di kerat 'urang'. Sometime 2 years ago baru apai tuai siko owned up madah kediri bisi ngerat tanduk rusa tu leboh kami sida Uncle N & Aunty J makai ba restaurant mentua anak iya.

BETONG

Mini Putrajaya....
The Administrative Precinct

The town centre

Betong Plaza Hotel

On our way to & from Samu we made a stop at Betong. Most times when we went to Betong, they were made on Gawai eve...not much sightseeing could be done because it's people-seeing. A day or two before Gawai would be a good time to 'jejak kasih' on the narrow streets of Betong & the likelihood that you bump into old friends is extremely high. The town square is still as it has been but outside the square..much,more & many progress & development can be seen.

Pekan Lachau...

The 'Atomium" ala Lachau

She ain't heavy..she's my sister/friend.

The many faces of people....

He ain't heavy..he's my brother/son

These nice carvings greet people who make a stop either to buy the goods on sale there or for a toilet stop. I thought they're quite interesting to look at..wonder who the craftsman/men were...with such creativity & imagination...lots of both as I can see from the details..if you know what I mean.

Since it was the long weekend,we decided to go back to Samu to see the folks there because it had been quite a while since we last visited them..about 2 gawais ago. D's nephew drove us there after the Good Friday service at St. Basil's Church in the morning. The ride took a good 4 1/2hrs..we took our time...enjoying the scenery.

Peace Town

Spotted the supposedly 'lost' pair of doves ......

Didn't see nor smell any durians along this lane (despite being named Jalan Durian )when we make a toilet stop at the nearby coffeeshop.

The last time we stopped by at Sri Aman was when we were on our way back after visiting Nico at the Bukit Saban Khidmat Negara Camp in 2004. Dulles always has fond memories of his school days at St. Luke's Secondary School & since we had some time to 'kill' so we 'toured' the town of Sri Aman.

We headed to the KFC outlet for a late lunch..didn't know anywhere better to go. If 'mund had been around,it would be nice to sit down with the Deputy Resident of Sri Aman for lunch.
