Bruno

This is Bruno, the albino dog of my family.... It bites a lot.. mmm. gets annoying at times... good pet but lousy guard dog, don't bark at anyone...

River scouting...

A group of us is planing to go for a picnic... So me and a few friends decided to check this new place out before we bring in the whole group. Lovely place, but it's 30min of dirt road.. What fun...














Don't need to explain much, the pictures speaks for itself, it's a beautiful place. There is a water fall about 600 meters (30min walk) away from the main site. Saw this along the way.. a giant millipede...














This is the water fall, there is a pool above the water fall... kinda deep, we didn't go in...















The water fall kinda small, but there is actually two, another one up stream, but I didn't take pictures of it.. was worried that I'll fall in the river with it because the water it's a bit rough. As me and my mates sit there, looking at the falls, I said to them, 'They ask us, why do we keep wanting to come back to Sabah... Just look at this(pointing at the water fall)... That's why...'

Trip to Nabawan

My dad was invited to this Majilis in Nabawan (which is 2 hours from Keningau). First of all, the event was scheduled to start at 10.30am with the Guest of Honor coming at 10.30am. Guess what, the guest of honor came an hour late. Typical Malaysian... Wonder when will it ever change. After sitting there for an hour, listening to 5 YB talking about FELCAR and politics, I had enough and asked my driver to pick me up. (He is on his way to the farm for second round, picking up oil palm fruits)

Went to the farm, look at the the area. The place in getting better, trees are bigger than a year ago. Helped with loading and unloading the fruits. Really good work out. Those fruits are not light, each is around 1-2 kg, maybe even more.

Ok, here are some of the things in the farm. This is the farm tactor which my dad got a few months ago. This cut down loading time from 3-4 hours to just 1. Plus, don't have as much prob with the pickup getting stuck in the mud and all that anymore.
















This are the fruits that have been picked and ready for loading.




















































This is the worker's house. When the farm first opened, it was a quarter of the size you see now. The living room is the pic with blue flooring































This is the kitchen, basic but it works.




























The driver was sleepy halfway to the factory, so I took over and drive. I missed doing that, driving the pickup with a load ont he back, accross drit roads.



This is the factory which we send the fruits to. Big and smelly. Don't really know why but the plam oil factories are always smelly. You see the big plam oil fruit hill? at the bottom of it, it's a hatch, it'll open when the factory operates, and it'll process it automatically.

BBQ

had some friends over for bbq... was wonderful... Iyan, our chef, marinated the lamb and chicken. He made red wine sauce as well... it was the best lamb I have ever tasted... We got Darren drunk, no that was funny.

After a while, we just sat around, talking about the old days and everything in between... Hope to have another one again...

swallow

This is interesting, I have a pair of swallows near the front door of my house. Hope to have 'yen wo' next time I get back.. haha...

Christmas tree

O Christmas tree.. O Christmas tree....
Ah, it's always nice to see the Christmas tree. Great fun setting it up with my sisters. Sadly, this time, there is no presents under the tree. (well, presents might be there when Christmas is closer, we'll wait and see)
This Christmas tree, will only be up when I am at home. Because no one likes to pack it up after Christmas.. :-(
The tree might not be up next year, so better enjoy it now.

Brunei Tour

I had to transit in Brunei before reaching Sabah, so I took the free tour that was offered. There wasn't really much to see because they just pointed and explained what the building is, while we drive through the town. Stopped for 30min for lunch, which only cost $2. Seriously, if you live there, don't think anyone will die of starvation.

Met someone in the tour as well, a Singaporean girl, who is also studying in the same uni as me. Talked to her from the time I met her at lunch till I got on my plane to Sabah. Nice gal... smart as well, doing 4 majors... respect.
