More pics from kampung

I must say thank you to FELCRA actually helped to bring some changes to my hometown.Although they pay less to people that work for them,but there's a lot of new thing that the bring in. For ages my hometown has no proper electricity and water supply.People rely on generator that cost them RM15.00 every month.No ironing allowed except for the fluorescent light and tv from 1730hrs to 2300 daily. Exceptional given on friday so that the people can switch on their tv during day time to watch hindustan movie.haha..i remember my late granny black and white tv.people always come to her place to watch tv and they will bring some snacks.i recall we also have big screen tv that shows action movie. We will gather at the school football field and the teachers will put the screen on.The villagers are invited and we gonna have movie marathon.So..the auntie's will prepare some bubur kacang and pengat ubi,Sometime steam tapioca with grated coconut and brown sugar. Oh memory..missed my childhood. So back to FELCRA, now we have proper electricity supply and also proper tar road.you can even see myvi as a taxi from my hometown to the small town call Karakit.its kinda the center for the island where ferry land and for people to buy things. but people still rely on rain and wells for water supply as my the island is quite dry.(p/S have to carry water from the hill sometime,i guess thats why i am small LOL)

My mom Lita with her antique sewing Machine.She made thousands clothes with that machine.i always have to put the thread for her :)

Sunrise @ 0612hrs

The wooden bridge in the morning.A place where we always 'sun bathing',hang out in the evening to watch sunset and tempat untuk mandi-manda..ngee.

My super hero..my dad.

The village attacked by pirates few times back in 1993.guess the Phillipines is very near about 45mins by speed boat giving them easy access to attack the place.Well..cant tell much about the pirates incident although i was in the actual place. I was form 3 and no picture taken after the attack.Don't worry, no one hurt..they only took money and jewellery from my poor people.I recall its happen few times and we have to run to the jungle. My parents moved to mainland Kudat in 1986.But i stay in the island till i was form 4 in 1994.So other siblings never get the chance to experience real NAM.My uncle build the "Viet Kong" house in the middle of the jungle so we can keep my late granny safe because the pirates came form the beach.Well...thats life :)

Buka Puasa

After 6 days working night shift,Aj took us to Restoran Rebung @ Bangsar for buka puasa.The Restaurant is belong to Chef Ismail and his partner Datuk Dr Sheik Muzaffar.RM55 for awesome traditional malay food,jts perfect for buka puasa.Macam-macam ada.Aj had like 5 bowl of pengat durian.and i had 2 big plate of mix rice with few dessert.banyak juga la aku makan compare to normal meal time.not because i am fasting,but just because i love traditional food. kacang botol with sambal belacan and stuff.Chef Ismail is very friendly.he let us taste his kuih raya.well..he is actually promoting the kuih raya and RM1.00 from the sale will go to the rumah anak-anak yatim.

the restaurant is actually a house that renovate into office,restaurant,kitchen and also prayer room.so.tak payah rushing kalau nak solat.lepas buka puasa can go solat and continue makan.being there is like u attending typical malay wedding.everbody wearing nice malay traditional cloth and they also have malay band that play traditional music. they have 2 section..luar boleh karaoke.not to mention that there's also local artist gathering.i got to meet Jehan Miskin,Tony yussof,samzy and banyak lagi la.tak tau nama..hehe.sorry.

anway..its a perfect place for gathering and buka puasa.RM55 is definitely worth it.eat all you can.No need to go to expensive hotel for buka puasa. sigh...i gain 2 kg during ramadhan..oh nooooo



Rebung Restaurant located just behind the Dataran Maybank Bangsar.



we reach there @ almost 8pm.hehe..have to sungkai in the car 1st.hehe...thats the remaining plate.the 1st round already clear by the waiter.

Tip Of Borneo

A must visit place whenever i go back home is Simpang Mangazo (Simpang Mangayau). Its a bout 30 minutes driving from pekan kudat.I like to take the kids (niece's and nephews) mandi laut and also play galau.Last visit to Simpang Mangazo cost me a real bad sunburn coz we spent almost the whole day playing by the beach.

Literally, Tanjung means ‘tip’ and ‘Sampang Mangazo’ means a junction where a battle took place. According to Rungus folklore, this was the site of a fierce battle fought by their forefathers, defending Rungus territory against invaders. Local folklore claims that pirates often frequented this area, attacking and looting innocent villagers who lived nearby. The villagers decided to join forces and defend themselves. Hence, Tanjung Simpang Mengayau became an ideal spot to observe the arrival of pirates and foreign ships. The brave warriors stood guard here and kept unwanted visitors at bay.

History also claims that the fleet of the famous explorer Ferdinand Magellan, on its voyage to circumnavigate the globe, stopped here for forty-two days to repair their ships. In the distance, you can see a lighthouse. Locals believe that spirits ‘move in’ to this lighthouse when their ‘homes’ in surrounding areas (either on the mainland or nearby islands) are disturbed by human activity. Today, the lighthouse serves as a guiding beacon to passing ships.

The tip that is only a hard rock













Can never get enough playing at the beach of Simpang Mangazo.With a better facilities such as car park and canteen and also easy access, its a worth visit place for family.I just sounded like Malaysian Tourism Board promoting my place..haha
