Fieldwork - Bintulu: Part 2 Joli Menjoli

yang posting tadi about work ...work and work ...yang nie plak about joli ...hehehehe the last day tu, after we finished the interview at the last longhouse, aku tanya budak2 tu samada nak balik hotel and jalan sendiri2 or pi pantai etc naik van ...semua choose option 2. Mula2 ingat nak ke Simalanjau National Park, but pakcik driver tu kata agak jauh - masa tu pun dah tengahhari - so he suggested pi pantai ...apa lagi, tanpa balik tukar baju klat hotel, kami terus ke Pantai Tanjung Batu ...masa tu weekend plak! so the place agak crowded ....ada org bbq, ada family yang picnic ...

kami tak mandi pun, panas terik gilos masa tu! ...kami pun bercanda dan berposing aje hahaha




and last but not least ...kami jumpa seekor ikan duyong ayu tau kat sini ...tak caya??? tengok gambar nie ...ayu kan???? hehehehe

Fieldwork - Bintulu area

Aku kan selalu "menjelajah" tempat2 yang jauh dari Kuching - I mean going to the interior of Sarawak - for my research. 2007 and 2008 was the most intensive aku bejalan - masuk utan! Kira that was an adventure sebab aku bukan nya familiar ngan pergi tempat2 cam gini ...i know i sound sombong but aku mmg jarang sekali berjalan2 kat Sarawak - kalau kampung halaman aku kat UK tu lain lah ....hehehehe

anyway, this was about the trip to collect data- kalau tak silap the second trip bagi projek SIA tu but this time i was leading the group of enumerators- Orang lain tak join masa nie - Haslina was pregnant, then the boss pun sakit juga kalau tak silap - so aku pi la sorang2 ....giler tak confident tau! sebab nak cakap ngan orang mmg susah - aku kan suka campur aduk bahasa. and sebab nie kat bhgn utara sarawak, aku org selatan sarawak - so ada sket perbezaan in language. Result nya at one longhouse tu aku and the org rumah panjang tu susah nak communicate! ngade kan!

so these pictures are taken during our data collection and interview - i think we visited six longhouses at that time, plus we had to stay at a budget hotel coz hotel yang cun semua dah fully book masa kami pergi!

Nampak tak aku???? alah ..yang membelakangkan kamera le ...masa nie that pakcik sedang marah about some issue - we have to be delicate - sebab isu pembangunan and tanah kan, banyak le benda2 yang diutarakan ...kami just pendengar dan pencatat aje ....at this longhouse jugak kami rasa agak risau coz they are a bit hostile towards us ...but, thank goodness, semua org keluar dengan selamat ...


Sepanjang trip tu kami sewa van aje ...hehehe senang! lagipun aku bawak 5 org enumerator!

A short getaway from office....

For the past 2 days i was down with "boring syndrome" at work....this actually occurs almost everymonth... i am from the other side of finance who dont involve in monthly closing. Basically I need the book to be finalised before i start my engine...

As i was complaining endlessly about my boredom...about the canteen food ...then it struck my mind..why not get some colleagues to have lunch outside this Grace territory...so we did today at Swiss Garden.....not many options we have in this Gebeng Industrial area...so here what we had for lunch today...lega dan sedap!

Appetiser and dessert ...sekali harung, tak de law punya style...
my main dish....i ordered for penang char koay teow ...in fact i asked whether they have cockles in the koay teow and they said yes...but was being served with melayu punya koay teow with zero cockles....

my friend's ...aku tibai satu...punya lah melantak kan......

Job Vacancy - Pengikut Lori

Semalam aku nampak this advert ...and seriously i tak tau pun wujud jawatan nie ...kah kah kah ..ever heard of jawatan "pengikut lori"????? FYI, this was outside a furniture shop ....apa kan dia punya job spec? Ada sapa2 nak tukar career??? Sila lah apply ....

Buah Pedalai .....

Sekarang dah start musim buah ...suke aku tau ...one of my favourite buah tempatan of all time is buah pedalai .....tak tau kat semenanjung di panggil apa ...but nie ha gambar buah nya


Nak buka buah nie tak yah pakai pisau...just guna tangan aje! That's why aku suka sebab masa kecik2 aku boleh makan sendiri tanpa suruh or tunggu my parents to open one for me! Kat dalamnya is all these tiny biji2 ...you makan aje bahagian yang putih tu - manis (but ada gak yang tawar!) and buang biji kat dalam .....

sedappppp .....

Ayam jugak!

heheheh aku jumpa this kedai kat Batu 10 (dekat2 rumah aku le) yang jual anak2 ayam...kiut2 anak ayam kat sini ...aku suka tengok masa ayam2 at this stage sebab cute ...bila dah besor tak kuase aku tengok ....dah tak kiut lagi! Anyway saja je nak tunjuk ayam2 nie utk compete ngan gambar ayam2 kampung Datuk kiter tu ....ayam sapa lagi cun?????? sila lah undi hehehehe

Posing

Minggu lepas masa ronggeng tengah malam lepas makan nasi lemak sotong special (Gerai tu sekarang buka waktu malam sampai kol 12am) kami pergi lepak kat Tasik Titiwangsa. Pastu ada la pulak idea diorang ni konon nak posing angkat KLCC tu. Punya la gigih posing sampai try beberapa kali. Akhirnya this is the best shot walaupun tak jadi sangat.

Sarawak new DUN Complex - view from across the river

Semalam DYMM Yang Di Pertuan Agong, Sultan Mizan declare open Sarawak's new State Legislative Assembly Building. Apparently cost RM300 juta - yeah part of it mesti my money tu tau ...mine and the other tax payers! From the newspapers today - nampak cantik le DUN complex tu ...

This pics were taken last month when I was having lunch kat Grand Margharita Hotel di tebingan Sungai Sarawak.... Anyway, today and esok berlangsung lah mesyuarat raja2 kat this new DUN complex ... and sempena upacara perasmian ini, banyak gak le aktiviti diadakan di Kuching. Petang semalam ada regatta and lumba perahu kat waterfront; then malam plak ada perarakan boat berhias ...aku tak pergi of these events...sibuk, plus aku kan plan utk mengasingkan diri dari tempat2 yang jadi tumpuan ramai ...to avoid the possibility of oink oink flu ...in fact semalam masa Tengku Mahkota Johor is visiting the new campus, I stayed in my room ...ingat nak pi but terlampau banyak kerja plak ....

Apa tu???

I have been busy lately..Don't know how many times I have been singing it to everybody but somehow things happened for reason and I was at home today when fid and Ej reached home late evening. Apa tu??? Terus pop up from my mouth when I saw Ej was carrying it today. I thought she finally received the long awaited certificate for being a librarian.

Kisahnya food. Take away from food court nearby our residence area. Normally people use the red plastic bag but this stall use paper bag. Not sure whether being envinronmental issue or stylo? I think more to the latter.

What ever it is, the food is Spegetti with mushroom soup sauce. Bosan? I am but not EJ. I will only eat spegetti in the near future if it is cabonara from Rainforest or bolognese from Kak Long kat Kuantan. Motifff???

Rm 5.90 per pack.

Ayam kampung

Just giving an insight of the ayam kampung farm...I have not visited the place, as the pictures are courtesy from Duan's hphone.

Gambar lama - kat Ampang Point

Aku kan busy sesangat lately. Gambar ni dah bersawang tak di update. Hari ni walau pun busy sesangat aku luangkan jugak la masa mengupdate. Busy ke aku?

Gambar ni last two weeks after Ej completed her test kat Da vinci tu. The art belum dapat lagi because they sent to HQ for marking. Dah dapat nanti aku postkan kat sini.

Bulan lepas je kan bila aku kira kira...budak kecik ni menyebabkan aku membeli more than 10 packets fruit tart tu. Ni yang kesekian kalinya.
Sedap sangat la tu...blue berry jugak yang lesap dulu.

Pastu aku ordered lunch set. Dapat root beer, mushroom soup, bread pudding and cabonara.

Nampak je menarik...tapi rasa ntah apa apa. Kak long punya speggetti lagi sedap.

Sambil makan tu kat ground floor ada sales. Ada macam macam booth. Pastu ada stage kecik. MC tu dok panggil kanak kanak join main games. Dia panggil 6 orang tapi yang datang 4 orang je. Aku sruh EJ pergi join...dia malas katanya.

Brad pudding...biler set portion kecik je la nko.

Dia dah start memek muka. Ada ke nak lunch dgn fruit tart tu je. Terpaksa la aku guna kuasa veto paksa dia makan.

Picture tells thousand words. Agak agak la korang apa perasaan dia makan mushroom soup ni.

Haaa? Kena habis kan semua???

I'm a dead meat.

Lawak la daddy ni. Paksa paksa orang.

Tak perlu di cuba lagi next time.

Memek muka dah berbagai...makanannya tak luak luak

Sabar je la...

Nyesal aku order nko...Ke daddy yang pandai pandai order ni? Confuse la.

Pastu MC tu buat announcement ada 2nd game. Ej dok jenguk jenguk ke bawah. Aku cakap nak join pi la...dia malas katanya...rupanya dia segan sebab takde girls...games yang mula mula tadi 4 boys.Yang game ni pun mulanya 1 boy naik stage...once dia nampak ada girl join je...mencanak dia lari turun escalator terus naik stage. Sebab max 6 orang je kan. Motif dia sebenarnya nak lari dari makanan makanan tu. Ada faham sume?

Gamenya diorang susun susun kereta atas board tu pastu kena cari jalan keluar for red car.

Sume dok usha budak lekai 2 orang ni last sekali naik stage. Tapi both of them within seconds je dapat lepaskan kereta merah tu. Pantas dan cerdik.

Yang 2 orang ni pulak terkial kial.

MC siap duduk depan dia kasi hint. At last tak dapat jugak....MC tu suruh practise kat umah. Ada kat ceruk mana ntah dia simpan mainan tu buat sawang. ha ha ha.

Yang penting motif dia tercapai. Aku yang kena habiskan makanan tu tapi tak habis gak. Camne nak habis..sambil menyuap otak dok teringat speggetti kak long kat Kuantan tu...motif???
