cheers!!

yaa..this here is 'si-gitom' few weeks old hheh.. btw need quicktime plugin :P since i cant upload via google video, photobucket or youtube due to my super-narrowband connection :P , so as an alternative i uploaded it into my googlepages, which is much faster and stream it here :P

nah..my first video here koh koh..after i squeezed the video to its smallest size so that i can upload it via gprs heheh worth 15min uploading hoih...



ermm..blurrrr...nvm la just enjoy the gong beating..Logkou style hehhe..taken during Kaamatan with my Lumix .. dan tidak ketinggalan Dato Louis dengan lagunya..bye-bye 'singgarung' eh..silap..bye-bye simpangan heheh

nah..dying from boredom, i decide to upload some dusun music mp3 into my blog...can listen to them la :P (sana atas seja tue)

bytheway.. if u din see anything..u need plugins :P - QuickTime player hehe..

p/s - sia la tue..'tanak ingaa sikul,noubas id kampung²' :P

i was 'siok-siok' rubber tapping just now, and busy re-directing the latex flow which is going all direction but the collecting pot. Well, the trees kinda wet since it was raining last nite kan... (inila namanya 'tamaha' heheh, basah² pun pi potong getah)


see, this is what happen when the rubber tree is wet !!, the latex flow will be distract by the moist and go to all direction but the pot :P

then, suddenly i felt like i was in cameroon Highland heheh..i was surrounded by thick mist!! (even cameroon don't have this kinda sudden mist! )



and i was like..



and frantically run for cover hehhe..and end up trapped at my sister's house when the rain 'pouring it content' to the ground hehe..and guess who accompany me :P


'si-gitom' and 'si-guntut' oso take cover there heheh...deym doggie..

koh..koh..what a beautiful day..kesian lah that latex! all washed away :( but i know dis, gambling with mother nature is not a good idea :P you might lost ur stake pretty bad tho' .. (and in this case..i do :P )

im free lah today...and i look around the house if there is anything i can do to kill my boredom, staring at the laptop monitor early in the morning causing me a headache :P wanna wear thick glasses la nie after this :P

i remembered the pathetic cheap electric kettle that went malfunction that day and i guess i will repair it since i need it to boil water quickly in the morning.. hoih...a lessons for a day..dont buy cheap 'chap ayam' product!! keh keh keh...ony few weeks old but need servicing oredi :P sudah la xda warranty :P..so if u're into D.I.Y , check this out lah..


always check the fuse first ! a constant black out lately and the thunderstorm can eat tht poor fuse, but the fuse is ok...so check the other lah pula...


so after a brief checking into it main body, i know what causes it..its the design!! u see, this electric kettle main circuit breaker work base on heat, but the problem is the sensor itself exposed to the boiling steam and causing it to 'short-circuited' easily.. apa punya designer!

but i din do nothing about it tho..just wipe it to dry out the sensor, and put some cellotape into the big hole that causing the steam goes into it..and hopefully it'll work (without blowing it up :P )


and its work wkakakk...(i tested it few times of boiling and it went smooth...sorry to dissapoint u but no big BANG~~!! hehh)


well, i still have few things waiting to be repaired sitting in a corner of my room tho, but let them wait lah hehh...malas mo buat :P .. (since the owner pun didnt give me deposit *keh keh..how to work? :P )

cuti lagi .. hmm..what to do ah, i think since we have too much rain, i'll start my fish ponds project la *koh koh koh..me wanna pelihara ikan talapia, ikan badukang, ikan piranaha, ikan tonkol dsb :P

now where is my shovel and hoe tht, hanyut oleh air hujan suda ka? hoh...korek pakai tangan la dis :P

long before i turn into computer geek, i was an electronic geek :P

and i have a small confession, when i was a kid, i used to dismantle radio (even TV set)to see what inside it and wonder how come tht things produce sound and image heheh...i thought there were human inside it actually :P , *koh koh koh...but tht lead me to my passion and knowledge in electronics and as for the radio and tv set tht i've dismantle, err..god have mercy on them heheh...

and today..i've been checking old boxes contain 'old treasure' at my room and i found this..



yea..this is my antique camcoder heheh...i bought them many years ago (1998-if im not mistaken lah) and i've travelled many part in peninsular to take wedding videos :P, back then i was a freelance videographer for weddings, thts why i bought 2 of them (one serve as backup camcoder)

these things aint cheap back then, these two cost me about 5K, and it is an VHS camcoder, nowdays u can buy a Hi-8/mini DV camcoder for less than 1K, even the DVD-camcoder priced at less than 2K...what a memory...but these camcoder is long broken actually, and i didnt take any effort to repair them since parts are not available anymore for these model :P but..who need camcoder anymore? smart phone can do anything these days :P



then, looking at this 'electronics corpse' somemore one of it, is Panasonic brand with 22x optical zoom, i have a nasty thought...jeng..jeng...what if i swap the lens with my Panasonic Lumix digi-cam ?(which is 12X optical zoom) *koh koh koh...



well, i know its not possible tho' since they are from different 'race' hehe..but as a 'full of couriousity' person, i did dismantle it just to see what inside it (just like old time, but this time with knowledge of course :P ) and i dun have to worry about wrecking them, since they're long dead oredi heheh...


so, this is the lens ... who knows simple things like this can be very complicated :P

after having my satistification looking at what inside it, i put it back together, and keep them where i found them, i wont throw them away since they're 5K in value, but thts not the case, its more to something money cant buy tho' its called 'sentimental value' *keh keh keh

yaa..must keep in mind that 'I Love GPRS'~~!!

why? because top speed is 28.5kbps, during rainy days-u can go cook rice while waiting for web pages to load, can only open 1 window at a time- if not u'll get network error, it cost RM 150/ permonth, NO download!!, no online games!! no YouTube !! no porn no more Cimbclicks online! thehhe...

whats more.. when ppl with streamyx (or at least a dial-up) can blog hop 10 blogs in less than 30min, me, in the other hand have to spend at least 2-3 hours wakkakk....I LOVE GPRS! (now i have a reason to apologize for not hop-ing to your blogs :P)

but i cant complain.. GPRS is the only option.. and patience is what it take...and im runnin out of patience oredi and it might kill my 'blogging-career' tehehhe...

pls god, slaps our wireless network provider!! so that they can at least expand their 3G to my area!! *koh koh (desperate housewife blogger pray) or slaps RedTone at least !! where is the WiMAX ???? deym... ppl give licence but not doing bisnes! kalau tiada duit jangan buat bisnes *koh koh koh...

bah..enough oredi, i sound like an old lady oredi...(i dun behave like this often tho' but sometimes SLOW connection can turn Mr Nice Guy into Mr Crap!!..sorry folks *tehehe)

i've lots of thing to blog today..i even have those beautiful script in my mind right now but i cant blog about it..simply because we've got no electricty! deym u sesb!! its black out!! not once but twice oredi ( 5-7.45 pm and now, 8.15- who knows, eternity maybe :P ) ..even now i have to type in the dark :P

adding to that, i cant reload my 'compact mobile electronic communication device' (Handphone in short :P ) via CIMBCLICKS .. deym u cimb..!! arghh...no candles pula tue my 'rechargable torchlight' oso nowhere to be seen .. haiya..wat a wonderful day err..night :P

i havent cook yet..and im hungry ! (kena makan biskut lagi la )

now i have to logout..my laptop batteries is dying (i have to bury it then :P )

i went to Tamparuli today to buy some grocery since we run out of em oredi , ( i was trapped for a week kan :P ) actually Telipok town (a.k.a Pilak town) is nearer to my 'kampung' about 15 min drive ony and the road is 95% asphalt heh..but i always go to Tamparuli (which is 30-40 min drive and 60% gravel road) to buy things.

why? simply because i love the view along side the way ;P (oso many 'sumandak' there koh koh koh)

so...lets check them view (grr..wish i have Nikon D40X like Chegu Carol here :P )


this is Crockker Range view from my 'kampung' quite cloudy eh..


newly completed road near Kg Bungolio,Tamparuli, before this its gravel..bump there bump here... (buli jatuh pintu kerita :P )

normally i dont bring my Lumix with me if there is no special occasion before , but this time i brought it, because im in a mood to do so eheh...then ppl start to look at me like im some kinda 'lost tourist' carrying my bulky Lumix around hehe...luckily iam very 'local' look alike so no worry bout that tho' just pretend like a press photographer doing his homework :P


nah..Tamparuli landmarks .. but nobody crossing it today lah .. holiday kan, but when i look at this picture again, well, the angle is wrong !.. i shud take them from front view .. (from the 'tamu' site) heh..nvm..not for sale anyway...free pic kan :P


the 'pasar' hehh... for Tamparulian, this is boring view lah..but just wanna share this to those who never step foot to Tamparuli mah :P.. (i puropsely park my car farrr away from the shop heheh...malu la, sudah la body bertampal-tampal, cat lain², penuh tanah merah pula tu keh keh keh...)

and from all the intresting view along the way, i particularly like this one, its taken near Kg Bungolio and the view facing Tuaran bay and some part of Tamparuli



why? coz it reminds me of something... a love story...yaa...this view turn my 'Love-Mode' on....

maybe a lil drama can portrays that feeling



Men : sayangku...aku amat mencintaimu....bener!!...tulus dari hati ku...
woman : owh... sungguh? aku juga demikiyan.. kiss la aku sepuasnya...

director : CUT!!! KAPALA kamu sana!!!! apa sayang-sayang kiss-kiss nie..skrip suruh kamu bergaduh..bukan beromen...!!!

*koh koh koh..anti climaxs ah? well, im not a good director anyhow, so enjoy the view lah...

thank god !.. so good to be back rubber tapping hehe... i wont talk about the weather anymore...my post lately full of weather story oredi (until i think i shud apply for a position at meteorological department)



yes! my 1st 'white-gold' for this week :P its measured at 6ft x 20cm (1 inch thickness)

well,lets make it short today coz i din prepare anything for my blog since im too excited of going out and get my hand dirty after almost 1 week 'trapped' inside house :P

so have a good day ahead (perhaps) hehh...

im so bored... i guess this is how it feel being unemployed ! heh.. all thanks to the rains :P so im advertising myself ..


pls note the small caption before decide *koh koh koh

of one week, i manage to get a bucket of kantalan only hehhe...this is what left to my 20kgs a day :P (i manage to save this after racing with the rain anyhow)


yaa..this is the mysterious kantalan..it is basically latex that is left to hardened into their collecting pot/cup .. but in this case i collect them and left them hardened into a bucket to save them from rains .. look yummy ah? go ahead...it taste sweet too hhehe



we need more sun! even kittens need them too :P

my FLICKR wont accept my picture anymore, hehe..runnin out of limit oredi (itula..sepa suruh upload pic banyak²).. but nvm .. i can use my Photo bucket now.. actually i forgot that i've oredi registered with Photobucket .. and just when i tried to register..it said that the username already in use .. wat?? who else using this username? hoho..and then i tried entering random password then it work .. hola..aint that a day?

well, im kinda bored actually..it rain on and off the whole day..and dying of boredom i decide to go 'jalan² cari makan', all dressed up i am, and ready to go when i got stuck! damn..i forgot, im driving a 2 wheel drive 'malaysian-tin-can' hehh... deym!


so..basically, im trapped in between strong wind, rain and boredom ..hoih...so i end up blogging :( (dont ask if there's a bus passby my village! that would be the same if u ask if there's a train in S'wak :P )

so i made this, a drainage for my shed :P


to avoid this!


so lets have a good day .. even tho' its forecasted that it'll be raining whole week HAHAhaHahhhaa...(i dun really know shud i lough of shud i cry over this :P )

yes...its 'light rain shower' that is, checking the weather forecast have just become first priority on my 'today to-do' list :P and, damn..it doesn't look good..


source Jabatan Meteorologi Malaysia

whole week or months gonna be raining... hmm...


The sun, peeking into thick cloud .. hoh... we need more sun! hehe..

we have strong wind too, i cant sleep last night due to strong wind, im afraid my house will fly away heheh...u see, my mum house built almost 30yrs ago, sitting on top of the hill and thts is not the best combination .. after surviving the Greg taifun (with roof damaged of course) i can feel now tht this house is quite shaky..oo scary...i need new house..


even the 'tayam-tayam' got their own hard time to look for food .. ('tayam' doesn't mean 'ayam' alone :P any animal that is fostered considered as 'tayam' in Dusun .. now u know ah? :P )


ah?? seeing 'mangga' during off season certainly is not a good sign hehh...(now the Earth also malfunction ah? heheh...) but good sign for cindy.. koh koh...now u can have ur 'mangga' :P (well, tht is 'mangga wani' or 'buani' in dusun...but still mangoes isit? :P )

its been 5 days since i last go rubber tapping, and now i started to think of another contingency Plan... i need plan B or C or D.. and those plan are:-
A - Current plan ( die hard rubber tapper)
B - Concentrate On farming to earn cash
C - Look for part-time jobs (e.g working at pump station,lorry driver, shop assistant, rob banks, security guard, construction works etc etc :P )
D - Just relax, enjoy the 'holiday' as God bless,watch more tv, surf more, more sleep...

and i choose plan-D hehe..why? well, in this world my friend, we couldn't just grab it all.. don't be greedy no.. we need to slow down sometime heh..so lets just relaxxx...let it be rain :P

another 'holiday'...grr...it was raining .. (now,since its raining everyday..i need vacation :P )

but,nvm, its going to be shiny day again soon for sure .. so i did nothing much but spending whole day watching TV hehe...



and playing with my N70 .. actually i did load some mobile surfing software into it, but didnt really tested it yet..so i figured i must test it incase one day suddenly i got stranded into some 'unmaped',isolated and very far island, naked but have my N70 with me and wierdly that place oso got 'EDGE' and '3G' coverage so i can go mobile blogging ..(wow..wat a fantasy!)

so, i did capture my N70 screen


as seen here..few games.. emergency application (i like the 'Torch' application tho' which turn ur phone into 'torch light' heh) and some mobile internet application right now i have 3 apps which is Gmail mobile, Yahoo Go, and Opera Mini


this is the Gmail interface, simple but practical and wat good about it was it is a text based so it wont 'swallowed' too much of ur credit :P (as for me, its ok since im on 'unlimited plan' :P ) maybe few cents per download only..


and here is the Yahoo Go interface..if u're yahoo mail user, then this is ur mobile solution, also act as a browser but quite limited function, in term of data usage, well this application here will consume quite a bit of ur credit since it is graphical+text


and the best part is Opera Mini, it will let u browse the internet as if u're using ur normal PC browser but in mini size hehhe... N70 phone standard browser can only surf with WAP or adjusted web for mobile, but this opera mini here have the option to see the web as if u're seeing it on ur PC monitor, and it got mouse too hhahh.. but, this apps here will totally wipe out ur credit if u're not on 'unlimited plan'

so thats it, conclusion is, mobile technology aint cheap! but for kampung-man its the only option (but its only RM150 a/month for digi prepaid RM99-postpaid ,Maxis 3G-RM99 postpaid, Celcom 3G-RM68-postpaid hehh..and im on Digi RM150/month)

so if kampung-man can afford it, why dont u? so, lets go mobile!! :P

*this post sponsered by DiGi (but they wont pay me because i dont have paypal *teheheh)

Wo,sory folks,im testing this entry using opera mini via my phone,koh koh,

its been looooooooong time since i didn't use this expensive camera hheheh... (well, expensive for me la..since im a rubber tapper remember? :P )


reviews here

so i decide to snap random subject just to warm-up it a lil bit, since it is electronic device,and any electronic device left unused for a long time tend to get 'short-circuited' (from fungus,capacitor discharged, cockroach or lizard or even ants)


this is what the Kadazandusun call as 'Liposu' nah..now gimme the name in Malay or english..anyone?? hehhe..



hmm..just some corns ..


ermm..i never notice it before that coffee's tree can produce such beautiful flowers hheh... but its small thou..just a size of a thumb :P this one taken with 'macro-mode'

well, more picture of these at my photo blog (it open in new window if u're interested hehh)

now, u'll never know when u stumble upon something that make u smile hehh...

i was bloghoping when i came across meatball's blog ...dont know if this is funny to you but it is funny to me... meatball didnt notice it i guess since no comment about this one hhehe..look at this picture i've steal and edit (to add the spice) from meatball hheh...(sorry yah..kawan-kawan kan :P )


koh koh koh .. well, we wont notice it that much tho' since we're very sabahan people, and we always yell (err...not really la) "Boss~~!! kasi kari KAPALA ikan satu !!" hheh...

now im wondering if my BAD 'engerish' also a laughing factor hehhe...

at first, i wanted to get rid of ads in my blog .. *thehhe.. since im not good at it anyhow :P but then i change my mind, if it doesnt bother other reader then it can stay 'floating' somewhere on my blog ..

well, if i cant earn anything from it, its ok then, i'll keep it as a trend lah .. how many blog u've visited tht is 'ads-free'?? ho? ho? not that many anymore isnt :P so, lets be trendy!! *koh koh koh..


no..no..this is no 'tasty-little-fruit-that-can-be-eaten' this is a wild blueberry, can be found grow wildly at my rubber plantation... but since it got nice colour, its become my official banner now hheh.. (i dont know the name :P)

*koh koh koh...very sorry for dearest reader yg visit while im doing some customization...of course 'berelerak sana-sini' hheh...and i cant put the comment option pigi di sana bawah...heh..i know..its kinda 'leceh' to scroll back again to comment.... nnti la sia cari apa punca dia... (ini template punya designer pakai Mac OS koh koh...)

yay...and the estupida kettle oredi ok without any repairing :P ... itu pun gila suda kali tue... so, less one task for today...and another long 'holiday' sbb ujan kan malam tadi up until this morning...ur place oso ujan ka?? hehhe...

im hungry oredi :P mo pi masak maggi dulu hhe..

i bought this electric kettle few days ago at Giant for RM26.. i manage to use it to boil water with no problem few times before it went BROKEN!! duh...well not completly broken lah, but the lamp signal which indicate 'boiling' burnt out oredi...ceh... how to know if it boiled oredi? .. now i have to listen to it boiling sound :P ini la made in Malaysia :P



as an ex-electrician, this is small matter lah,just replace the indicator lamp la, but then i just remembered tht i left my tools box at my shed...which is exactly 3.5 minute walk from my house..but in this rainy condition errr..malas mo pi sana..besok la repair :P still can boil mah...


this is for dinner...im on diet! koh koh koh...(err...exclude the key chain and plug lah :P)

waaa..i've got 'holiday' today caused by the rain .. so nothing much i did other than sleeping all day (trying to gain some fat!) and watching Astro - Crime & Investigation channel... now i feel like i want to kill someone hheh...

arr..and i tried to photograph my mums kitten, but they're runnin here and there, i couldnt get a steady shot hehh..


future 'pencuri ikan masin' in the making thehhe...

bah k la..wanna continiue watch C&I channel :P

i've been browsing all day for 4x4 ads at www.motortrader.com.my its paifull tho' pages takes ages to load... kalau la ada 3G :P .. so i did cut some of the ads .. just for viewing pleasure hhee..(macam la ada duit mo beli 4x4, 'santut' pun lama suda x dapat beli)


i wonder, why Invader's value very low, anything wrong with this 4x4? anyone ?


koh koh koh..murah..murah..klu la boleh drive all the way from KL .. bos..bungkus 3!! hehhe...



hoih..Hilux juga bah..well, murah sikit la frm sabah price..but i prefer doublecab lah..ini singlecab leceh la..hav to go to Puspakom every 6 mth ..pastu ada nama lagi di pintu... klu nama best xpa juga..

i dont really eat 'tuhau', but dunno why, today i feel like i want to eat some :P (mengidam kali nie..) for those of u who doesn't know 'tuhau' err..koh koh koh...how am i suppose to explain :P maybe u know 'Hinava' .. no? aiyah..come here i show u how .. (aiseh macam lagu John Gaisah la pula)


wild 'tuhau' at my backyard .. well source of income for my mum..she sell it for 10 cent a stick .. :P

well, i dunno what it called in Malays or English, but i've seen it on Tv once and i know it came from Ginger family plant so i googled it and came up with this.. so scientific name for it, is E. coccinea hoh...no wonder its hard to google hheh..


waa..and it produce beautiful flowers oso.. wonder if i can give this (to girls lah) as roses replacement..no need to pay so much for roses then hehh



how to eat it? so easy one..just put it into ur mouth and chew..hehhe ok just kidding..this is no sugarcane lah.. first u have to peel the outer skin (the hard one) to get the soft layer inside..then pound it or u can blender it, add ingredients such as vinegar,chili, salt .. or whatever u like..then finish hehh..u can eat it..well, cant eat it alone lah..eat it with rice and such..its more like an appetizer :P it can be prepared and served in many ways actually..

so folks...if u're skeptical about how it taste...like si guntut here..



go buy it at ur nearest tamu today! koh koh koh... but, its more like durian tho' some really love it and some just dont .. so folks..enjoy 'TUHAU' makanan kebangsaan KadazanDusun *tehheh...

to start my blogging session today..look at this picture, taken at my bro's house hheh...just few steps from my house (err..my mum's house to be exact im yet to build my own :P)


yaa.twin banana keh keh khe...no..this is not 'bizzare-things-only-in-Sabah-thinggie' this is a genetically altered one... done in bio-lab..my bro got it seeds from one of his 'frankeinstein' friend...i showed this once to my friend, and what did he said.."ai..2 seja? di kampung kami ada 12 woo.." ceh..lebih² pula dia ni... but its true tho' u can altered it to produce banana blossoms as many as possible, but the downside is..the banana itself will be useless, they will produce very small banana due to lack of nutrient :P

this is good for show only, but bad for business..

well change de story la, of all the entry i've written, nothing really is about my mum hheh..so today i'll announce that mother's day just came early hahhha...happy mother's day to all..


ya..thts my mum, finishing her dinner meal while watching 'Buletin Utama', i took her candid pic :P and dont be fooled with those cozy sleeping kitten, siap ada cushion lagi..my mum hate those!! hehhe...

well, my mum is 73 years old,maybe older, coz she got her birth certificate under oath..so her birth date is 'agak-agak' only, (yala dulu² manada JPN kan hehhe) an old-skool mum, hardworking mum of 11 (ya...12 to be exact but 1 din make it..) koh koh koh..now u know ah...



my mum is illiterate actually, but she can count and do a lil maths!! when i ask her, how'd she get to learn all tht? and she said well, she learn it from 'tamu' hehh...yes, u know, beside rubber tapping, and farming my mum used to go to 'tamu' to sell farm produce (to raise us), so she learn how to count from there, of course la if u cant count and do lil math how to trade and count money kan...

one more thing that i remembered about my mum is, the way she recognize a bus...my mum used to go to Tuaran, Tamparuli or KK and when i asked her, how did she know which buses to take (since she cant read kan) she said, she look at the length of the bus destination writings hehhe... if it short, than its KK, if it medium, its Tuaran, if its long its Tamparuli hhehhe...so simple one ah..hahh..no bother to ask leh..


err..tht guy is not me hheh..thts En Mangas :P my relative oso tht...aramaitihh..

and she is among the main reason why i decide to become Kampung-man in the first place, u see, since my father passed away in year 2000, my mum is kinda lonely, since all my siblings got their own family and live outside kampung...(except for my bro, but he just moved in :P) and my younger sister, but u know la, once she get married,she hav to follow her husband of course...

so as a good son (koh koh koh) here i am, taking care of her, well aint tht suppose to be our responsibilty?? i sacrifice my 11 years career mostly because of her :P but thts ok..u can build a career anytime anywhere, but u cant just 'build' a mum heheh..besides kampung life aint tht bad either...

special notes : many² Thanks to MR D here for his free review about my blog i appreciate it...

ok..today is payday! koh koh koh...but im not rich la...'ngam-ngam' only to pay debt, bills and some saving for my 'hilux-fund' ... luckly i dont have GF at this moment (eh..iklan nie..minta la no phone sa *koh koh koh) so i dont have to include 'GF Investment' into my monthly budget...


waaa...ini la hasil for few weeks ...sikit seja because it raining most of the day..i got sick..hari raya etc etc .. so sikit seja la...

and if u're wondering about higest income for this month well, as expected..the 'tua mau mampus' old man still leading..this time he score almost 5K (yep..if i have a rubber plantation as much as he do, i probably hit the same or more amount too :P )

as for me..err..shy la mo bagi tau hhehhe...cukup-cukup makan only hhahha...

ya..our fellow kampung-man suda mabuk²an nie at this time...tapi i cant join them since im from diffrent 'league' *keh keh keh...so let them be la .. just that i hope they will remember to 'palan-palan gaman, sorohon tanak om sawo' hehe...(i'll let non-kadazandusun reader to find the meaning for this at their own :P,well, practice make perfect isit?? ho ho..)

aiyah..k la ..wanna rest, i have back pain from driving around just to settle everything just now (debt & bills) so i'll hop tonite..klu sia bangun la heheh...

hoih...im sleepy suda but can still reply to massy's tag ....

but the rules first.. err..i forgot the rules oredi keh keh keh..but i know i suppose to list down 8 random things about me...isist?? ah..i forgot oredi..but lets just do it...

1. I learn rubbertapping long before i learn ABC
2. i learn ABC only after primary 3 koh koh koh...(i guess thts why im a rubber tapper these day)
3. my shoe size is 40 (err..consider juga ka ni?)
4. i used to keep my hair until it reach my waist koh koh koh...consider 'rock kapak' la..
5. err...im sleepy now so i cant contininue anymore .. lets make this as the 8th lah ...

now im turning insane and tagging everyone!! hhahh...

deym..hujan loh .. my line become super-lagging ..

tomorow will be 'hari perlembagaan' koh koh koh .. no..not that kind of constitution day .. its the LIGS (or Lembaga Industri Getah Sabah, formerly known as Lembaga Tabung Getah Sabah ) will come to our kg to buy our product .. consider as 'payday' lah muhahh..

and i'll be bz collecting my 'kantalan' .. but its raining !! how im gonna collect them? hoih .. look like i have to wake up super-early tomollo to collect them er..('kantalan' is also a form of 'white gold' but it is cheaper hehh..rm 3/kg now..i'll blog later bout that lah)

so tomolo, our fellow kampung-man will become rich la..banyak la nnti aramaiti tue..'beduk' sana 'beduk' sini .. balik rumah 'ampai-ampai' hoih kehoi!! ...

2 months ago, higest income record is RM9K (by my cousin-but wayyyy older than me, dia tu tua mo mampos suda tapi still can earn that much) this month, dunno la who will be the record breaker hheh...me??? koh koh koh...no way la..

Look like i have trouble with my new shed... now the dripping from my 'white gold' is puddling into the uneven floor hohoh .. yes..and if u're not a rubber tapper, or ex-rubber tapper or simply got no 'iron-nose' .. u better stay away from this :P 500M is good heheh...(since, they are no roses alike scent there)


aiseh...macam sana iklan la pula .. hheh..


err..you are definitely not mr clean ..

now i need a floor wiper .. the one u can buy at Giant for less than rm10 (i guess la) but being a cheapskate i am (koh koh koh) i decide to make my own floor wiper ..


all u need is a few recycled item..such as- 'long time dead' selipar jepun, few pieces of wood.. a hammer and a nails and some imagination of course ..


and...shape them like so .. using some 'parang' or a knife (or can use teeth oso :P)


then..nail them together (well u can nail them in any way,as long as they look like the one in the picture).. finish hahha...now u have a home made floor wiper that cost u RM .. err.. 10 minute hhehe...

but let see if it works ..


Eureka!! it work ..it workk hhah...well it kinda remind me of an old cheapskate words of wisdom 'why buy something that you can build?' hoh...

heh...there is a time when i could not think of what to write in title, so i end up recycling my old title .. ingenious ah? koh koh..

nothing much to blog actually .. sometime we cant just blog everything out of our daily life .. its dangerous !! why? becoz..err..errr.....ntah la .. ask 'si-guntut' lah ..

but ..i can share pictures :P


Oo..this is what i called 'garage salah bikin,' car parked out of shed huhuh...


ya..its because of this .. hoih..look like i have to move my garage to somewhere else..since the 'feng shui' here is not suitable :P


ahh..latest addition for my 'office' .. a desk .. well not the one from IKEA but homemade one (save budget mah) and err..dan ntah apa² lagi yang di atas tue ;P


and ..after day long rubber tapping..all i need is a quality relaxing time :P lets go clubbing ~!!! tehhehe...

owh..bytheway .. its raining here .. wonder if i can rubber tap early morning ..

short entry today .. just an update .. im sleepy .. and feel guilty la pula, becoz i drained all my brother's water supply tank last nite koh koh koh... it all happend when a faulty installation of water pipeline occured .. heh...i forgot to put glue on tht poor pipe joint and apalagi, it burst and emptied the tank :P .. nasib baik my bro is not coming to his 'kampung-house' this week or so..

well,i manage to fix it..but now there is no water inside the tank :P jadi tiada la makan oh..guilty :P but nvm, in rainy weather like this, it will be full with rain in no time hehhe...

i woke up today with rubber tapping in mind .. as fast as Supreman, i go sharpen my 'daily gadget' the 'pisau getah...while having my regular warm Milo and some cookies for breakfast ..


this is the said 'pisau getah' in artistic view :P (well,it wont be that attractive if u see it live )

while in the process of sharpening my knife, my mum break the morning silence (it was 5.30am) asking me whether im going rubber tapping today..and i ask 'why' and she said "well, rinumasam bogia di kosodop...oyopos moti ie guas do gatah d" ah...no understand?? wakkak...nasib la .. i'll be happy to give u a 'subtitle' my mum says, 'it was raining last night..and the rubber trees are all wet !'



what!!!! .. how could i din realize that?? i've must been asleep like a baby hoih...there goes my 20KG of 'white gold' adeh .. rugi..rugi.. lets do a lil maths, 20 X rm 4.10 = RM82 is gone!! wakkak.. but nvm .. at least i can rest, u see, rubber tapping is a hard work .. and for a die hard rubber tapper like me, rainy day is just the only chance to rest .. i understand the rule 'natures give and natures take' so..what did i do? hoih..apalagi .. go back to sleep la hahha..no use whining la..


this is the said 'white gold' hahha.. each sheet valued at around rm70~100 :P and we just lie them around as if it not worth a dime :P hehhe...but them when u have brave guard dog like 'si guntut and associate' i bet u dont wanna get close to them...thts why we have 'si guntut' around :P


err...hehhe...ok , i forgive u 'guntut' i understand that, even guard dog need good sleep :P so do i .. so nite folks :P

hoih .. what with the title? hehh...wait ah ..

but before that, special thanks to Mr Kay here for his 'promo-post' for me hheh...i'd appreciate tht very much..it give me strength, courage , and spirit to continue updating my blog (aiseh..getting emotional la pula :P ) and to cindy too, for remind me about tht post (haih...how did i miss it, since i am a regular costumer there...must be the slow line lately :P )



now back to the title .. and the tasty yellowish concentrated liquid answer is .. the mighty "HINGUS !!!" hhehhe...(aik? u're eating ka? keh keh keh..very sorry la if i've made u feel disgusted :P ) .. ya..because i've got flu, but its ok .. think they would be ok next morning .. (my mum pun oredi started to sneezed .. i've must be an infector :P )

back in the old days when i got sick, they must be flu+fever, these days i've got fever first, than flu heh..just like me the old days 'on shift', but flu is no big deal for me .. i can still work.. unlike fever, i'll work in my dream only lah :P..but the yellowish salty concentrated liquid tht dripping from my nose keep bugging me while rubber tapping .. (aiya..disgusted oredi?? hahh) ok .. we stop here before someone vomit :P


koh koh .. this one got nothing to do with the title, this is group pic of our relatives back in Tiong Karanaan, Tamparuli .. my parent's kampung (their origin before migrating to this current kampung and give birth to us :P) aiya miss them oredi .. this coming xmas boleh la ni pi lawat² 'tobpinai' (or relatives lah )

ok la folks , 'hingus' oredi dripping into my keyboard nyahahah... gotta sleep now..early morning kena pigi 'office' :P

my long time dream is to build my own house hhehhe... well, next year would be a good year to start building it .. im getting old oredi, and having own house to call home is a must .. so, i've got the site oredi, and i can imagine how it would be look like .. so i draw my imigination ... .. ...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

yay .. hujan la dis.. cold .. freezing cold, i think i got flu la pula ceh...

my DiGi GPRS today very slow .. very 'potong stim' to bloghop .. even to blog pun it gimme pain in the a** thts why its short entry la today ..

nothing much happen today (hoih..macam la hari² yang lain tue best kan...), my bro came here to borrow my 'kampung-horse' or better known as pick-up, to pick up some steel hehh...x tau la dia mo buat apa, mo makan kali ..

btw tht pick-up is for sale at RM 6500 seja tip-top condition, its Isuzu pick-up KB26 2.2 cc Diesel...anyone intrested can contact me lah .. see the advert banner hehhe..(macam used car la pula)


this is before paint job done, now it look nicer since i've already touch-up the paint job in order to pass PUSPAKOM ..

btw...my other car, the Protong Iswara almost give me a headache yesterday .. it wont start!! damn.. i tought the battery went dead, (sudala xda duit suda ni) but turn out to be the wire connected to the starter motor is snapped .. hoih..sepa la punya kerja ..luckily im a bit of a mechanic hheh..


heh..simple trouble shooting bah tue, just try to jumpstart it, and if it still wont start thts mean ur wiring 'suda sot-sot' so, use ur visual to check .. or if it too hard for u .. call the mechanic hheh..susah-susah seja :P

olih kerna ka-malasan ku ma-nulis pada hari ini, tatap lah gambar-gambar yang tlah di-titipkan ba-serta pa-nerangan nyia...wassalam ..


hello kitten, kitten ok? kitten here ok...ok la kitten,


wow...my mum got another durian today theheh...jan jeles :P, not only human interested with it, kucing2 jadian pun berminat nampaknya .. (err..thts not Mimi lah massy :P )


and without second thought, i split open it .. (with a Parang of course, i still need my teeth) owh..yummy ..



uRhMmMm...airrrr.... i need water .. i got choked eherkkk....


after the yummmmmmy .. i decide to move my 'headquarters' into my newly built shed office .. so i loaded just about everything into my pick-up or better known as 'kampung-horse' and head on ..


this is no 'ABC ice-shredder' this is wat we called 'gigilingan' (nah, got ur tongue twisted oredi?) or in english we can call it 'roller-machine-to-give-the rubber-bundle-a nice-thread' hheh..how bout that? and its function just like as it named :P (in short)

and this is the heaviest tools for my 'office' equipment, it weigh around 50-60 Kg, thts why i have to dismantle it before transporting it, beside its built of 'cas-iron' thts mean fragile, one knock and i'll be dead .. this thing cost at merely 1k koh koh koh,...


yea... i like my new office, all organized .. (except for the smell, pls ignore tht since its a smell of a money hhehhe..) now im fully comply with OHSA and i might apply for ISO certification as well after this...now i need office chair and desk to start showing off whos the boss hhehhe...


frankly speaking, this is wat my old 'office' look like :P .. bye bye opis ku..

koh koh koh...getting tired of lotsa picture? dont be...ada lagi .. last picture ..


HhahHAhah... penat wei... i just recover from fever, and oredi angkat sana-sini..no wonder la if after this i get fever again ! but nvm .. GO GO GO KAMPUNG-MAN !!!

huaaa...so good to be healthy again hhahhhah....

after almost 3 days feeling like an 80 years old man, i finally recover from fever..not fully recover but enough to run here n there oredi :P thanks god.. and get to rubber tap too hhah..(and can smoke too...haih...i'll never learn :P)

and to 'lepas geram' .. (since i didnt get to taste something sweet for these 3 days) i stuffed this into my mouth haih...


a durian...my mum keep this on the fridge for me hhehe...(err..somehow in this picture..it look disgusting..dunno la...but taste good mah :P )

its a D24 Durian, a slice of it is a size of ur fist...enough to make u full .. small kid cant even finish it ... btw..dont ask for more coz this is the last slice of it hheheh

im not too proud to say this, but im sick! deym .. got fever, and cough too, body aching too, born on the 'horse year' doesn't make me super strong i guess .. everybody got to be sick sometime hhehhe...

i spent these 2 days laying on my bed, hoping tht my body will recover very fast so tht i can go rubber tap :P (like most people, i hate pills and such, let em antibody grow! hhuhuh..) and although i am a 'money eye' (hheheh) person, i still put my health in my 1st priority .. thts why i rather wrap myself with thick blanket, than going rubber tapping behave like 'super kampung-man' thts idiot :P

btw, im getting well a bit,now, i can stare at them monitor oredi but still i cant see clearly, so i'll hop tomolo la .. hope everyone doing good there hheh...

o..and today is my birthday kui kui kui .. 3rd nov (special thanks to someone who remind me...i forgot my own bday hhahhah) because im sick lah :P

Kesian Enchik Rain ... x dapat pi potong getah sbb raining kan .. duk termenung di tangga seja la...sambil smoking (killing himself softly :P)

and si guntut here have something to say oso...


si guntut : stop smoking!!! if u die young, whos gonna feed me !!

im still here! hhah..thanks to my friend here who are kind enuff to lend me his moneh :P (yay..my money la but they keep it and use it as they like and give us few cents in return...)and im blogging ..

I was using my Celcom line to access Cimb web just now, because i couldn't use my Digi anymore (now im using digi lah - after reloading it online). To use celcom, u just simply type 'Broadband subscribe' and send to 28882, and u'll have 24 hours access to the internet for rm 8 (its rm8 / day)...cool huh? hheh, or u can just simply use the *118# and follow instructions there.. this is suitable for those who doesn't use the internet on a daily basis .. but tht is definitely not me :P (i am Internet freak !! everyday is a must .. some say internet is better than sex! koh koh koh ... )

but Celcom, without 3G coverage is worthless .. see my test here ..


Celcom Download Test vs Digi Download test

in test scale, these 2 rivals quite equal, but in real time, when u go surfing i can feel that digi is loading data much more faster than Celcom, thts why im using digi hheh.. i guess thts because celcom in anyways is 'siblings' to streamyx hheh...thts why they're suxx :P (sorry celcom) but thts just in data communication la...other than that ok .. (voice,sms,mms-ok gprs-suxxxxx)

but that is the case here in suburban area, where EDGE is not available, 3G is just a fairy tale and all we have is a super-narrow-band GPRS hoih...but where the 3G coverage is available, i will recommend u to use celcom rather than digi .. why? coz in a clear day, celcom 3G can easily kick Streamyx Ass !! i've test it before (back in Shah alam)

so there u go, my tribute to Malaysian Wireless ISPs ( they shud pay me for this hheh) and Celcom 3G should extend their coverage at least to Tuaran (not only in KK and PPG) because Tuaran folks also got money to use the 3G service ma .. rubber produces these days are very good, even rubber tapper like me can afford to use the internet .. so co'mon Celcom .. use ur 'X' factor hheh..
