The River of Life.....

So sorry for the delay.. Finally i have time to write and update this blog again. as promised, i am going to reveal a little bit about myself again here.

i guess after moving around so much from town to town, city to city. Deep inside me i am still a very simple "kampung boy" after all.

I do not need a super big bungalow, a fancy car, a high quality FULL HD home theater to satisfy me. (but.. if i still have the above, i do not mind la.. hehehe...) I realize that i can find fulfillment in a very simple thing that do not cost a lot of money.... RIVER...


So without further a do... Let me present to you.... The Ana Rais River!!!


















This place is about an hour drive from my house. The river is so clear and the water is so cold and refreshing. I do not know how to express that feeling to you. It's the so so soooo GOOD!!

Praise the Lord for blessing me with such a wonderful place that i can go and recharge myself and have picnic too.. hahahaa...

Found Myself

Today I just found another part of myself.. it's the natural side of me. If you are wondering what am i talking about. then please stay tune because the next episode is coming soon...

may be i should just drop a hint here... It's the RIVER...

Home Town!

I believe this is not something new to many of us. Where is your home town? And I’m sure many of us can just almost instantly answer that question without a doubt. But this question for me is kind of complicated. Not sure isit because I am stupid or what la. If I were to separate the two word “Home” and “Town”. Not sure will this make thing a little bit easier for me.

“Home” should be a place where we feel belong most. I actually look up the dictionary and this is one of the explanations. “Home” is the place in which one's domestic affections are centered. I simplified “Home” as where my parents are. And for the word “Town” should be a location. That’s not too difficult to understand at all. Yeah!

I guess using my small little coconut, putting the two words together should not be too difficult. I guess home town means, The “Town” that where our “Home” is. Wow… so simple after all. But the tricky part is my HOME kept moving around Towns.. so I guess that’s the problem. I do not really know where my Home town is. But I know exactly where my home is. No second thought.

I was born in a very small town called Kapit. I spend my 1^st 12 years there. During that time it’s not difficult to answer where your home town is? I can just say, “Kapit!” easy easy.

Kapit Boy!!

But after that my whole family moved to Kuching city. I stayed in Kuching for the following 6 years. In another word I completed my high school time in Kuching.

Kuching Kid!!

Then whole family moved to Miri. But I went to KL to further my study.

Miri Budak!

In KL people will sure ask me where my home town is. During that time I kind of do not know how to answer that question already. Do I say Kapit? Kuching? Or Miri? After thinking to myself. I simply choose a place la. Since no one is gonna know. I just answered “Miri!” I guess that’s a bad choice because that kind of complicated the rest of my following answers. I am sure u must be confused by now. Do not worry. Just continue to read on.

After about 1 year plus in Miri, my family moved again. Yes! Again! Now the next location is Kota Kinabalu, Sabah! Further up North! May be next stop will be in Philippine.

KK, Sabah Kia!!

During that time I was still in KL. I have never been to Kota Kinabalu before. And so happen that when my family moved to KK, I just entered University. So everything kind of being reset. Meeting new friends in university and so on.. When we meet new friends, they sure would love to know where my home town is. So I just say “KK, Sabah!”. The unexpected thing is people seem to be very keen to know about KK. And they continue to ask me, “What is nice in KK?”, “Any nice food to introduce?”, “Have you climbed mount KK before?” errmmm… Thinking to myself “D@RN!!” I have never been to KK so how am I going to answer them. I wish I could turn back the time and answered “Miri”, “Kuching”, “Kapit” instead! At least I know how to answer them.

Suddenly I need to potong everyone’s steam and say, "ermm.. sorry guys, actually I am not really from KK, Sabah!" then people just silent and looked at me like one kind and thinking, "hey boy! U dunno where u r from meh? It’s not like we are asking you how to build a space ship and bring us to Jupiter!". Then I begin to explain to them about my home moving journey. Then only they understand. “Pheeew.. Lucky! They dun think I am crazy or stupid la”. On the other hand, “Mayb they do think that I am stupid!” but who cares.. hahaha…

Thank God that the home moving kind of stop in KK as of now! So now I can say my home town is in KK. Unfortunately there is another problem. That is my IC number there is a number “13”. Meaning to say I am a Sarawakian.

Lucky Number 13!

**in this picture i still look young la.. sigh~

In KL:

I would tell people that I am from KK, Sabah.

In KK:

I would tell people that I am from Sarawak. Since I am a Sarawakian.

In Overseas:

I would tell people that I am from Malaysia. KK, Sabah is where is stay.

This is really frustrating to the bones! At one stage to make things simpler I would just say I am from Borneo Island.

Mr. Borneo!!

At the moment I am working in Kuching. Every Christmas I will go back “Home” to celebrate Christmas with my parents in Sabah. Then my colleagues would ask me “DO you have any plan during the festive season?” I would normally say “I plan to go back to celebrate with my parents in Sabah.” Then they will look at me puzzled. “I thought you are Sarawakian, why u need to go back to Sabah?” And there goes another super long explanation.

Do you have any idea what is the best way for me to answer this question?

“Where is your home town?”

阿虎的故事..

This is about a man named 阿虎. (a.k.a. my 二舅)

You are just another ordinary man in the family.

But you are special to me that’s why I am writing about you.

You always have a very fierce look on your face.

So fierce that not even a gangster would dare to look at you eye to eye.

But when u smile, it just show another side of you.

Full of warmth and also make people feel so welcome.

The word that you used it’s always very “flowery” that if were to go On Air, it will be full of “BEEP!” hehe..

I fully understand why because you got your degree from the Kapit Street University.

But when you crack a joke, it will really bring tears to my eyes and also cramp my tummy.

You to me are the Best Chef in town.

Your pork chop, loh pui, foo chow char mee, wild pork....

I’m gonna miss them all.

You are always so proud of your work.

I am also so proud of you.

You also taught me a lot of things that cannot be learnt in the best UNIVERTISY on this earth.

There are so many that will take me months to list them all.

The one I would share will be how to choose a fine Durian.

EYE: how to choose the color and shape of durian.

NOSE: how to smell the durian.

EAR: how to hear the “heart beat” of the durian.

MOUTH: the different taste of durian.

You will always able to get the best from the seller with best price.

I am not even close to 50% compare to your skills.

You will always buy, packed it nicely, froze it and ship it for us all.

You know we both love Durian so much.

You are so tough since the 1^st day I met you.

You always seems to able to take down the whole 300 Spartans on your own.

You even fight with the cancer cells in your body. Never seems to give up!

I do not know how much pain you have to go through.

But the best part is knowing that you fight your last battle with Jesus by your side.

You may not be around anymore; people may think that you lost the battle...

Deep inside me I know that you’ve won the battle.

You have won more than just a battle.

You left behind a great legacy for the younger one to look up to!

Till we meet again..

Miss you,

Ah Boy

二舅!! Rest In Peace..
