After a long walk in the culture village, everyone was exhausted. This is the picture where Jason and Michael were lying on the long house floor to get some rest. Peace!! Gotcha!! Hahahaha...

Do Re Mi Fa So La.... Do Re Mi..... *singing* Haha... Even the natives in Sarawak know how to play music!! Bravo!! Bravo!!

OMG!!! Jason!!! You look alike with those stone man la!!... wakakakaka... Dont think that only Mexico and the South America have stone man. We, Malaysia, also have stone man in Sarawak leh!! Malaysia BOLEH!!! :P

Trip to Sarawak 9

These are some of the performances in the Sarawak Culture Village. Have a clue who is the guy above?? He is the one who took picture with me lo. He is just marvelous and capable to do superb stuns. He is like having some Chinese martial art background and use it on his culture performance. In the first photo, he used his teeth to carry up a roughly 5-6kg wood. In the second picture, this fellow had spin around 15 times with only a long thin bamboo stick underneath him. If you have a chance to see live show, then you will know how incredible it was.

This is another great performance that one must not miss. The guy is playing with one of the native haunting tools called 'sumpit'. You really need wonderful skills to aim it and shoot the 'sumpit' accurately. What make this performance interesting is, a foreign tourist had been called onto the stage to try on the 'sumpit'. Guess what??? Unexpectedly, the foreigner succeed in her first attempt and the audience were all shocked and a big round of applauses were given to her. BRAVO, BRAVO!!

Trip to Sarawak 8

Guess what?? I found a swing inside one of the long houses!! Very special rite?? Haha.. Therefore, Vincent and I have a try on it. Fortunately, it works!! We have great fun with the swing... Haha..

We get to know the natives in Sarawak believe in animisme. Anismisme is a believe by praying to the surrounding and environment. However, what is this?? I capture this photo in front the IBAN LONG HOUSE. Is this their ancestors grave (R.I.P) or a place to pray on?? I am not really sure. Hopefully, those who know it, can give me some ideas k...

Two local indigenous women are showing off thier skills. On the top is a lady doing KUIH JALA. Kuih jala is one of the famous local cookies which looks like web. Anyway, I had a small story to tell about this Ibanese woman who is preparing kuih jala. The women shouted 'MALAYU, CINA, INDIA, IBAN' when the money paid by my friend to buy her kuih jala slip off from her hand. We were shocked to hear what she shouted. Then, we try to have a small investigation about why she shouted so. At last, we get to know that actually most of the natives in Sarawak will shout 'MALAYU, CINA, INDIA, IBAN' when they droped something and it has become thier norm. Haha.. Funny rite?? The second picture shows a women was knitting 'songket' ( i guess so.. dunnoe what name is that piece of cloth :p)


The natives in Sarawak are also famous with thier head haunting activities. I came through a lot of such skull inside most of the long houses. I was anxious to know how they were able to keep and maintain the skull is such 'good condition'. Anyhow, I still not dare to touch it. Take pictures can dy la....

Trip to Sarawak 7

Long house is also an attraction that you must not miss when visiting Sarawak. Inside Sarawak Culture Village, different ethnics long houses are displayed. Besides that, description about their differences are also been explained. For those who have keen interest in architecture, this is a place where you can learn a lot about the natives' building structure.

Wow.. We were so fortunate to have the chance taking photo with an Ibanese native leh.... Actually he is one of the performers in Sarawak Culture Village... He can do a lot of great stun. Thats why most of us admired him. Wanna noe what stun he can do?? Keep up with the updates lo...

This is a place where the natives get heat inside the long house. Caol and firewood are burned in that place to produce heat. Try to imagine how cold it is inside a forest during night. Therefore, these place will keep the people to have a warm nice sleep. Nevertheless, with the technology today, we called this HEATHER. Hahaha..

Trip to Sarawak 6

Wa-cha!! Wanna fight?? Come la.. I accept the challange. Dont play play oo.. I have a multi-powerful Ibanese Shield. Who come who die... Haha...I really like the shield la. Unfortunately can see only but cant take home... :-(


Michael and Wan Zhen were having fun playing with the indigenous' grain processing tool. Actually it is very easy to use de. One just need to put some grains between two parts of the tool and then the grains will be processed when the tool is repeatly turn left and right. How come those indigenous people were so clever to know how to create such tool har..

Punishment time!! God bless those people that have been killed using this method. Hahahaha.... Nolar..... This thing is created not for the purpose of killing people. Michael and Jason just having fun trying to demonstrate how the indigenous people are been punished. I also dunnoe what is the actual usage of such thing. I think, most probably it is use for cooking and definitely not for slaugting human head.

Say cheers!! Hahahaha....Four dungus posing to the camera again.. Actually we are walking on a long bamboo stick. What amazing is, although only one thick bamboo was under our feet, but the bamboo din broke. It was tough enough to bare the weight of 20people. Incridible rite?? Haha..

微笑Pasta!!

今天呢,我心血来潮想尝试尝试看怎样煮Pasta。所以呢就在我家附近的Mini Market买做pasta的材料。我也蛮像师奶的啦,很厉害选材料哦。。我才用少过十令吉就买到这些东西了。不错嘛。。
哈哈。。
准备的材料:
1)猪肉碎一小碗
2)四粒番茄
3)一罐番茄汁(美国进口的)
4)萝卜和禄豆。包装的可以。。(要五颜六色嘛)。。
5)少不了Spaggetti啦。。


步奏呢很简单罢了。。
1)把番茄放在热水里。过后呢番茄皮就可以很容易的被扒出来。
2)把它的种子切出来过后就可以把弄好的番茄放在番茄汁里面一起拿去煮烧。
3)切点蒜头拿来爆香。过后呢跟肉碎和萝卜绿豆一起炒。
4)炒好过后,就倒进在煮烧的番茄汁里面。
5)用慢火熬半个小时就可以了。熬的时候呢,放点盐和味精。有味道就可以了。
6)如果喜欢的话也可以煎蛋来配pasta噢。
7)最后呢就是烫speggatti。瀮上弄好的酱就可以上菜了!

我家人吃了都赞不错哦。。在外面读书朋友们,你们可以学学看噢。。一定会很有用的。。
