Happy Chinese New Year!


Happy Chinese New Year! Early in the morning we go to church for proper festive blessing for the day and when we get back to grandma house its already full of friends, relative and villages neighbours. Unlike our urban style celebration here in this remote village people from various cultures, races, religion and beliefs come to celebrate as one share our celebration, happiness and enjoyment for this Chinese New Year festival. Don't be suprise both my father and mother relative have huge mixture of cultures, races, religion and beliefs that make other felt the gap of different is huge as seen from their eyes but in our heart they are actually very close as family. I also have chances to visit other relative around Limbang too. The crowds come in and out in endless from 8am till 4pm. Cakes, muffin, snacks, rice, noodles, bbq chicken, meat, veges, shirmps, cola, oranges, beers and etc all on the tables. I always hang around the kitchen too see if i can get some nice munchies and some cooking in progress. Wow! the make fried shrimps!!

Slummy City


Early in the morning i went off shopping for Chinese New Year supplies for next day festival. Its about 40 minutes drive to the city which is the hometown where i originally born. The city is very small, packed and not much to shout about, it very slummy, quite place to be and not that busy during peak hours. The city is very much "Village City" where much local come from outskirt of the city to do businesses and there not much development, commercial or tourism value yet. As for retirees and old people this is perfect place to be away from capitalism. As i move about in the only shopping complex in town theres not much things attract me to buy and appreciate only good fast food and local cakes to keep me enjoy for the day. By 8.00pm the city is very much in silent mode and not much of a night life. Everyone is at home with family and friends.

New born


We are very surprise a dog out of no where in this remote village come to our late granparents house and give birth to several cute healthy puppies. The mother shows no hostility and welcomes us to watch and hug the newborn puppies. The puppies are well fed by the mother. The mother wag the tail in much enthusiasticly as if she wants us to adopt them as part of our family. And so we welcome them.

Crabby Patty Kitty Kat. They eat durians!


I drive over to our grandma house on my mother side to visit our late grandparents not for from my present grandmother house a few kilos from here. I was greeted with friendly meow meow friend some cats which my auntie called both orange cat and calico cat "Crabby" & "Patty". Crabby is a hunter and always caught well amounts of rodents and creepy pesky crawler inside our house especially and night while Patty love to hang around getting patt by us and a good sleep under the tv and furniture. At silent night Crabby the orange cat remain active guarding the house perimeter inside and keep me company when i'm very lonely. Its very nice and pleasant to her Crabby "purring" nearby me as it show concern about me and keep me guard against creepy stuff going near me as i a sleep. Patty however busy guarding the kitchen. Next day i bought the cans of WHISKAS delicious cat food. They like it. Meow!!! Our family have huge affection and love for cats. Btw these cats love to eat DURIAN fruits! Amazing!

Cold! Cold!


This is how it looked like in Limbang village road at almost 8.00am, cold mist still roaming and fogging. Hard to drive through and fog light or headlights necessary to warn incoming car abour our presence. Limbang located way deep in Borneo forest so no doubt about getting slumped by misty weather in mid morning.

Holiday trip here we go



Its Chinese New Year holidays! Once again its time to get back to my Grandma village to reunite and celebrate with relative. Its a long drive from Miri city to Limbang where we have to drive through Brunei border in transit towards my grandma hometown. Thankfully unlike last year this month weather is very hot and sunny. Good visibility and safe to drive through the highways. It took us hours to reach the destination. After 3 hours later we reached to my grandma house, she was happy to see us. To house full of joy with lots of crowds of relative getting ready to celebrate our Chinese New Year Celebration. I'm also greeted by special old trusty tail waging friend too, lol.

Lazy cat detected! meow


Oh how life is so easy ya meow? Sleep by the day, hanging out by night. Thankful to them they help to keep those pesky rodents and spider hanging around the house. All of them are very healthy and well fed. They are lucky to live around cat lover neighbourhood. Cats always greet me in the morning via 1st floor roof near the window and meow me to wake up to start my day.

VEXUVIUS: The Promising lead










After weeks building a model without a blueprint project VEXUVIUS manage to take off on smooth air. The upcoming 4WD off-roader and rock crawler design went well and today i manage to release first glimpse of raw 3d wireframe meshes of actuall looks of VEXUVIUS. Rigid, tougher looks, solid and brutal. The design have both modern touch and solid harsh off-roading built. I expect VEXUVIUS will be completed a month or less. However you can view live progress of VEXUVIUS development at my design website at: http://www.supermotoxl.com under Development page.

Fatal dusty paint on my car

1st February i realised my car body top surface was very rough like sand paper. At first i tought it was some sticky sand that come from the beach when i drive outdoors. It was rough and too permanently sticky to be called sand since it comes with tiny bits of colors as if its particle came from a spray can. After inspecting several several cars around my office carpark whom also under the same situation, i realised the dust paint came from neighbouring shipping company who was in the paint repair business. Everyone whom affected was furious, complaining and asking action to get the damages compensated from the near by shipping company who cause the damages. I was lucky my car isn't as serious as other who already in "sand paper" like paint surface on their car, but still the damage is clearly visible. However i'm still very angry for that shipping company next door being so "unethical" and beyond their " Occupational Safety and Health" scope when its comes to open spray work on their ship in the open when there are civilian around them in close proximity exposed to the hazard of painting process. I hope the compensate everyone for the damage they did on my and our staff cars. By evening when i get back home i quickly scrub as best as i can but cautiously to scrap of surplus of paint dust off my car, however i refuse to polish the painted surface as it will destroy the upper coating. I hope weeks and weeks of normal shampoo cleaning the paint will worn off naturally. At night i went shopping for car body cover immediately and start cover my entore car body as step of early prevention.
