of paddy fields...and buffaloes..

21 Dec 2009

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'...

seafood kolo mee...
corner shop at kota padawan (10th mile)...


such a wonder...

such a wonder the Lord Almighty answers, when I call...
such a wonder the King of Kings should call me, His own...
such a wonder that He who holds the future, holds my hand...
such a wonder I'll never be too far away from love...

in You I find my refuge
in You I find my strength
in You I find my promises
Lord, in You I find who I am...

a day in the 'wild'....















Kubah National Park is about 45 minutes away from Kuching town.

The park offers a few different trails, one of which leads up to Gunung Serapi. Since I've already taken that trial, my friends and I decided to explore the trail that leads to the waterfall. It takes almost an hour's walk to reach the waterfall.


















Matang Wildlife Centre is located off the national park and houses some endangered wildlife like the sunbears and civets.There's orang utans too!

The condition of some enclosures in the centre seemed to have deteriorated over the years. I think there were more animals during my visit to the centre two years ago. I do hope they will continue to upgrade the facilities and house more animals at the centre.
