Every Season - Thanks Oli

This song is a very beautiful song with beautiful lyrics and voice. My dearest friend Olivia tag me in this music video in FB. Thanks to her because i looovee.. this song. Thanks dear. I hope you guys enjoy this song too. Have time to reflects and listen with your heart. Have a good new day today! God bless! The beautiful video music: The beautiful lyrics: Every evening sky, an invitation To trace the patterned stars And early in July, a celebration For freedom that is ours And I notice You In childrenā€™s games In those who watch them from the shade Every drop of sun is full of fun and wonder You are summer And even when the trees have just surrendered To the harvest time Forfeiting their leaves in late September And sending us inside Still I notice You when change begins And I am braced for colder winds I will offer thanks for what has been and was to come You are autumn And everything in time and under heaven Finally falls asleep Wrapped in blankets white, all creation Shive...

Making roof from plant leaves. A traditional way! Wild ginger fruit. Very sour taste but yummy.  " Nasi bungkus " one of traditional way of preparing rice for Murut community and almost all of Sabah ethnic. The leaves is the same leaves used for the roof.  Wild ginger again. The " Bunga Kantan ", one of my favorite.  Preparing wild ginger " tuhau " for meal. Chit chatting among friends enjoying the work.  Fish from the river. Delicious and fresh fish. Preparing rattan for building a hut for the wedding.  All these scenarios were captured from several of my visits to a few Murut villages at Ulu Tomani, Tenom, Sabah. Quite interesting community and sometimes makes me wondering on the way they make their living. Bikin pusing kepala juga working with this group of people. But still i feel blessed because God gave me this opportunity to met more of His people on this earth. To see more of characters of people that i can reflects on how ...

Stop the Bully On Sabah & Sarawak

I received this email from a friend. Something to read. I don't know who is the writer but if you are Sarawakian and Sabahan, this is something to read. Happy Reading!! MySinchew 2010-09-14 The time has come for Sabah to take control of her destiny. No more bully by the federal!. The east Malaysian enigma. I was born on the 2nd of August 1963 in a country called the Federation of Malaya. Six weeks later, on 16th September, the federation along with Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore merged to form Malaysia. A Malayan at birth, I then became a Malaysian. The date 16th September 1963 marked a significant transition. Indeed, there is a number of crucial differences between ā€œMalayaā€ and ā€œMalaysiaā€. While we often talk about the ā€˜social contractā€™ā€” the unwritten agreement negotiated by our Independence-era leaders ā€” we should also remember the terms upon which Sabah and Sarawak joined with Malaya to form Malaysia. Basically, these states (along with Singapore, briefly) were per...

A Burning Lamp

Reading His Holy Words and continue shared His love with people i met is the oil that i need to put in the lamp so that the light of Jesus in my life will never fade or off. Keep on burning allowing the Holy Spirit to work in my life. Thank God for a beautiful Eucharistic Mass today. God bless us all and Peace to the World!!   Love, Little Rose

ROAR For the Tigers

Image
I have been joining YouthSays 12 months ago. Wow..a year ago but i did not active in this site. With all the campaigns and rewarded it's offers. I get so many emails and notifications from Yuna from YouthSays about all these campaigns. So, here i found one of the campaign that i feel like to support it though. It is about the cause that created by World Wildlife Fund - Malaysia. I think they have a few of programme like Tx2 ( WWF's Tx2 campaign aims to put in place the necessary conditions to double the wild tiger population by the next  Year of the Tiger  in 2022) and a lot more on awareness of the current status of tigers in the world.  So, YouthSays are promoting one of the initiatives called ROAR For the Tigers . This is a little bit info that they provide for this campaign.  In the last 10 years we have lost almost half of all wild tigers. Tigers are in deep trouble and they need your help! No petitions need to be signed, we just need your ROARI...

What So Special About Today? 20.10.2010

Not so much special things happen. The best thing so far for today is, i am not having problem with sleepy mode in the office today. I didn't take my 3 in 1 coffee but only Kopi "O". Good day for that. Went back home and working on my little garden. Aiyah, my garden is so messy now. The weeds and grass is higher than some of the veggies. Work on it till dark, but still can not finish it all. Hope i can continue working on it tomorrow. Lady fingers seems to be grow well but need to water it everyday because the weather is very hot now. Just after i finish my gardening and watering the plants, i saw Munah is sitting not far from me. I didn't notice that she was observing me doing my work in the dark. So, after washing my hand i played with her for a while. She is not that active like before and not so naughty like before. She seems to be more quite now. But. still we play a little bit before i ask her to go back home and i am done too. That's all for the day o...

Sleepy Mode - In Office?

I have a problem. This problem is not new for me. It started since i am in schools. Secondary schools i think because in primary i didn't face this problem. Aiyah! I easily fall asleep. Anywhere. That is my problem. So embarrassing sometimes but i just can't help it. My eyes just want to rest for a while.. he he he... This problem i carry through till now, till i am working. What should i do ah? Need help. :"(... From my own observation, there are a few factors that makes this sleepy things become more serious. Not enough sleep especially when i am too much travel and my body get tired. Not enough rest also lah bah tu.  Too much sugar intake. This must be because of my addiction to coffee. I took three times 3 in 1 coffee everyday.. Hmmmph... No exercise. Aiyah... it has been a while i didn't do any sports. Hmm...no woner i become so malas now. Duh! So, that's is what i think. How to overcome this? Need to do some experiment first ya. Will see if i can ma...

Igan River Our Source of Life - Water is Life

In my previous post I did mentioned about the disaster in Rajang River and its tributary, Igan River. My village is along the Igan River. I think most of you know about the tragedy of Rajang River. The news appear in most of the newspaper local and internationally. I just want to share a few things about my village and how important is the Igan River for us living there. Just a brief background about my village. My village is named Kampung Kebuaw based on the name of Kebuaw River. The people living here is mostly Melanau (Christian). The population maybe around 500 people ( just my random estimation, for correct one, ask the District Office of Dalat/Daro?? ). Our village has NO ELECTRICITY SUPPLY, NO CLEAN WATER SUPPLY, NO ROAD ( whether gravel road or asphalt road ). You can see that three of the most important basic necessities are not provided by Sarawak government to our village ( WHY????? I am not sure what is the main problem of the rural area development in our area ā€“ not lis...

My Presentation & Disaster at Batang Rajang/Igan

Image
Sorry for no update on what is actually happen after my presentation. A group of about 28 students from UMS were visiting us with three of UMS staffs. One lecturer was leading this group. I was asks by my boss to do presentation on Ecosystem Management & Conservation. Phewww!!! This is actually one of the course taken by Conservation Biology students in UMS for third year and final semester. I've taken it too during my study in UMS. Now, i have to tell these group of students on how our company practice contribute to ecosystem management & conservation. Quite tough but since this company is following the standards for forest certification so there were not that difficult for me to explain to them. However, i was stunt because just a day before my presentation i was tagged by my friend in one of his photo. This photo was showing Batang Rajang/ Rajang River is jammed because of logs and wood debris. It's moving down river until reaching my kampong at Batang Igan/ Igan...

Aerobic Dance

Feel like want to do some aerobic dance but don't know where and how. At last search online video from You Tube and i get some ideas. I really miss my old days back to 2007-2008 in Bintulu where my friend and I keep on attending aerobic class at D'Oasis. When i am moving to this new work place, they have aerobic group but it's too many people attended it and most of them are housewives. Never mind, here is some videos that i found that i may want to follow it for my own aerobic at home.. ha ha ha.. at last i decided to do it by myself at home. Learn how to do some steps and who knows i can make another aerobic groups for single working ladies. Okay, here is some of my selections: Love,

Nok kali tok aku kena molah presentation untuk orang luar (UMS students). Ya la palak ku rasa bengong jak, lack of confident bah kali aku tok.

He he he... Nok ney best gik? Duak2 keja tok pun ada thrillnya kedirik. Cabaran nang sik sama tapi tahap gaban sibuk nya nang lebih kurang jak. Kenak ada gambar di sebelah ya?

Take 5 -- Coffee Time

Image
Photo credit to Unknown I need a 15 minutes break. Need to sip my favourite coffee, Old Town White Coffee. My brain can't think of what else to put in this presentation. It is a 3 hours talk and can i just talk nonsense? Ha ha ha... Nope, can not do that. The information must be based on the correct facts. Can't just simply doing it for the sake to finish it quick. Okay... enough mumbling here, need to continue with my work and keep on enjoying my coffee. How about you? (",) P/s: Coffee Girl & O.l.i.v.e , come let's drink!! Love,

Then, this morning i realize that, if i let the LOVE of CHRIST overflow in me like the water overflow from the glass, i must have so much love to be shared with people that i met each and everyday of my life journey. Serve with love and the joy will come back to me. Praise the Lord for always walk with me.   Love,

My Little Garden

Image
I have been working on my little garden behind my house since i moved to this house. I planted a few types of veggies but not growing well. It must be because of the soil condition that not suitable for planting veggies. So, i decided to bought soils from my friend's Dad. After using that soil, some of my plants growing quite well. Here is some photos that i took. Just to share. Photo taken on 1st Oct 2010 before off to KK. Just a few plants but a good start for me.  Si Pegaga.... one of my favorite ulam...  Si Kangkung... Already harvest it twice and delicious... (",) Tumeric... At first i thought it will be impossible for this plant to grow because of the soil condition but after a few months, i can say  its survive yeah.... First harvest of kangkung and spinach (bayam)...  My first dish of my own sweat... he he... Kangkung Ikan Bilis... Sedap gak... Meh la join aku makan...

Pepatah atau Perumpamaan?

Tetiba ja saya teringat pertemuan saya dengan pak cik yang buat katering makanan di Tenom minggu lalu. Sorry, entri kali ni saya mau pakai bahasa rojak. Pedulik la, 1Malaysia juga kan. Paham nda paham pa boleh buatla kan. Kasi paham ja. Mau dijadikan cerita, pada mulanya saya memang tidak tau siapa yang saya boleh hubungi untuk membekalkan makanan bagi mesyuarat yang akan kami jalankan di Tenom. Bingung sudah ni tapi tetiba teringat yang dulu pernah Pusat Kebudayaan Tenom, Pulong pernah bagi saya satu quotation. Check balik so, jumpala ni katerer namanya Mekar Abadi Enterprise. Kebetulan kami memang pegi Tomani, menyinggah la di Tenom and mencari la tuan punya ni katering. Okay, kasi pindik ja la ni cerita k. Dia jemput la kami pergi ke rumah dia sebab dia berurus niaga direct dari rumah. Kami pun interview la dia sebab perniagaan dia yang pada mulanya hanya kecil-kecilan tapi akhirnya dia membekalkan makanan pada ramai ora...

St. Francis of Assisi Feast Day

Image
The prayer of St. Francis of Assisi Lord, make me an instrument of your peace, Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy; O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Today is the feast day for St. Francis of Assisi. I am a conservationist, ecologist (i may say) and lover of animals and nature so St. Francis is one of my favorite saints because he is the patron of animals, merchants and ecology. Since today is his feast day i would like to share some of his story and biography. Just to make he known to more people (i know, he is already well-known but maybe some of us not sure about his li...
