Another yummy beef floss! - Day 4 dinner for grandma departure.

Yesterday night we're having big family, relative and friends dinner after prayer and house blessing where my late grandma used to stay in just to keep the place clean, holy and blessed from harm and unwanted entity. The dinner was great, another bunch of beef floss in stocks, So another 3 big bowl for me to munch. Later after that i'm going straight for bed hoping my body getting fat and add more weight the next morning.

Its here - GTR R35

This is our boss latest ride, the latest iconic new GTR R35. He start driving everday in the public. We can only watch and drool when he park outside his office and we just watch from the lobby during lunchtime.. I just can't believe seeing such car just pop-up being the first especially in this town.

Prehistoric dinosaur - TAMIYA Super Champ.

Hee hee... can't believe my uncle gave me this master piece of the 80's, I was only 4 years old when i see this car blasting around the sandy beaches infront of our house back in 1982. This radio control definately a collectors favorite item. Must be worth thousand by now if bid over the internet!. The chassis construction was 100% pure solid metal alloys, very durable and the mechanical engineering apply to this models is very solid and tough. Its like owning a pickup truck rather than a toy. Even its an electric powered sand buggy but the built was almost nitro fueled like chassis. The shell need a bad fix on front but that's a minor problem can be covered with DIY patch.

Monday 23, Time to go home. Before that leaving the place my favorite uncle who is my mother's little brother gave a me a nice present to add to my Radio Control collection. I was surprise to receive a high quality built R/C buggy made fully from cold forged alloy chassis that was made back in the early 80's. Its was a collectors item a TAMIYA SUPER CHAMP. Wow!!! i was excited and thanked my uncle who was a hard core Radio Control enthusiast. I packed my things and head to the airport along with my little sister and 3 cousins who were heading to the same flight destination as i do. I had great times and felt glad that i renew my visits to this place after absent for more than 5 years. Glad to be on tour.

Grandma hometown: Part 2 -Sunday


Sunday 22, Its burial event. 7.30am in the morning still cold and chilling. I didn't take my bath cuz i here you don't smell much, just brush teeth and wash my faces. Taking bath around this hour is like pouring buckets of ice cube over my body. A nice hot natural tea and biscuits for breakfast. Later at 9am we prepare some food to be cooked in mass amount for our incoming guess during lunch time. Food mainly some fresh buffalo meat, rice, vegetables and hot tea. At 10 guess have light morning snacks and then later its time for the burial ceremony where we load the coffin into the truck to be carry over to our native cemetry. There we have the usual departing prayer for our grandma and some ground work to bury the coffin. Its took almost 2 hours under the hot morning sun. By 12pm noon everyone back to my place for mass lunch ceremony and feast on tasty lunch. Being as hungry as horse i munched 6 bowls of crusty beef floss....yummy!! i don't usually have this kind of chances back at my home. Crusty flossed beef is always been my favorite. According to our mother side tradition funeral ceremony last for 14 days which usual activity include night rosary prayers and big dinner for family, relatives and friends.... it means it doesn't end there yet. So lots of work to do for 14 day, Luckily i'm not going to be long enough here to witness the ceremony because i need to go back to my hometown in MIRI and get back to work....that will be on Monday air flight going back home. At 3pm i followed my father to visit my grandmother of my father side which located few kilo's away from another side of the village, Reaching there we were greeted by our still in good shape grandmother and hos loyal furry friend, 2 cats and 2 dogs. I spend few hours in their house minalyb taking bath, snoring during nap, playing with furry friends and enjoy the view on top of the hill. She still the only grandma we have left. By night i have to pack my things, greet goodbye to my relative as i have to go back to the urban side of the town tagged along with my sister so that we could catch early flight next morning. So we stayed at my mother's sister house.
