trust...

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
Lean not on your own understanding
in all of your ways acknowledge Him
and He will make you paths straight
don't worry about tomorrow
He's got it under control
just trust in the Lord with all of your heart
and He will carry you through

Lord sometimes it gets so tough
to keep my eyes on You
when thinks are going rough
but when i turn my eyes up to the sky
and i hear Your voice is says to me

"So child do not be weary with the troubles
of this world
I have overcome"

(Sixpence None the Richer)

went for a meat buffet with some friends on 2 Jan 2010 to celebrate the new year...

it was an interesting experience... it's unlike normal buffets where you go to a designated place to pick out your food... here the waiters/waitresses bring the meat to you... so you can just sit back and 'chill' and not have to fight with kiasu people you may sometimes meet at buffet lines.. :P

here are some tips:

1. Make reservations - especially if you go during festive seasons.

2. Go easy on the starters - take loads of vege but little carbohydrates in order to consume LARGE amounts of meat.

3. Remember which meat you would like for seconds cause they'll serve you 11-12 types of meat.

4. Be adventurous and try out every meat

5. Go with a group of friends who LOVES to eat meat.

6. The bread is freshly baked and goes very well with butter and soup :)

7. Be prepared to get a little 'lost' when trying to find the restaurant. First timers might miss the junction.

dear Mark,

it's Christmas!! :) guess what...we didn't attend service on christmas eve morning.. hahaha...'ponteng'... instead, we followed a family from Long Langai to their 'resort' at Fa' Langai (Sungai Langai)..they have a fruit orchard so we ate loads of langsat and buah beritam.. the buah tampoi wasn't ripe...and the buah terap trees were sorta far away... there was some ponds in his land so the guys went fishing in the ponds after lunch... i think you might have joined in if you were here..

there was no 'tarian lilin' or any spectacular fireworks performance on christmas eve but thanks to L, we had a 'private' viewing of fireworks at the airport! However it started raining so the fireworks show was a short one.. the sky was perpetually cloudy so couldn't see much stars, not like the 1st trip.. :I kinda sad la cause I was really hoping for fireworks and skies filled with stars...

This year's Christmas celebrations seems to be slightly different from our first experience.. this time they had quite a lot of praying in the beginning..and they sang more BM songs.. and L even sang English songs during tonight's service!.. not many carols were sung in L Bwg (dang! I was so looking forward to nani carols in the L Bwg language :P ).. pastor preached in BM (so we actually could understand what he spoke on)..

I managed to learn some L Bwg words during my 3 years in Limbang thus this ability to understand questions by the org kampung..and some of the announcements made in church truly made my whole trip this year more meaningful..

can't wait to go back again...some day... :P

the exploration continues...

dear Mark,

we made it to L. Bwn this time! :) and we didn't go on foot or motorcycle.. we used to 'idolise' A but now both WA and myself agree that L's driving skills are amazing as well.. he drove on terrains that you would never imagine possible!

L. Bwn reminds me a lil bit of Bario's white sands..like 'padang pasir'.. there isn't much to do there and walking around the whole village only takes about an hour..

of paddy fields...and buffaloes..

dear Mark,

Anon bala?... :) still remember these words?

it's really nice to be back in Ba' Kelalan.. you should have come with us.. the 'keluarga angkat' is asking about you..


thank God the ride was alright - this time we took a different route.. passing through some villages like Long Luping, Long Semadoh, Long Tanit, Long Beluyu & Buduk Aru (where the Theology Seminary is located)..our driver this trip is a young chap from Long Langai.. prob not as skilled as Agung but he did bring us safely to Buduk Nur.. :) overall it was an uneventful ride... only 'exciting' event was to get out of the vehicle when crossing 2 particular bridges that is not completed yet..

Ferdinand is turning into a fine young man..taking after his dad.. think he's going to look very 'yeng' in the near future.. he's going to Std 1 when the new school term begins on 4th Jan 2010. Guen has also grown into a fine little lady.. she doesn't remember us but she warms up to us pretty quickly. Her brown cute bear is still around though she's more fond of another bear nowadays.

some parts of the house has been renovated - especially the bathing and toilet facilities thus making the stay even more comfortable :P

oh oh..there's MAXIS connection now at the village.. but since I'm not a Maxis subscriber, doesn't make any difference to me la.. i guess the mobile phone accessibility will make the village similiar to any other place now...'reachable'... 'connected'...
