I've been busy. Well not really. Skipped work today, cause I just feel like it. I WILL definitely get a warning letter tomorrow and get some bollocking from my manager. Pfff, am I bovvered? I don't really care since I'll be leaving sooner or later.

Anyway, seeing I got plenty of time today, I'll just be typing crap. About music, well more like music that I like. I listen to alternative rock, usually mainstream or from mySpace. Bands I like varies from the poppy Ting Tings to the hardcore Slipknot (which by the way, their new album rocks!), Ash, Blur, Muse, Incubus, Arctic Monkeys, Foo Fighters, The Killers, etc etc etc. Anyway, those who like these type of musics, read on. Else, just stop before I freakin waste your time. Thank you.

I'm just going to review some of the bands I've been listening and liking so far. Treat it as recomendation if you may.

Red Light Company - With Lights Out
I predict this band would be big somehow. I really love the album. It's really mellow and uplifting at times. "Hope" is the word that keep coming to my thought every time I listen to the album. (With Lights Out, Scheme Eugene, Art & Crafts)


The Rakes - Ten New Messages
My work mate's bestmate's band (if that makes sense). This is an old album from 2007, deliciously addictive. (Suspicious Eye, The World is a Mess but His Hair Was Perfect). New album coming out March, judging from the new single 1989 looks like it's going to be a good album as well.


Mystery Jets - 21
I love this album, don't exactly know why but I feckin love it. I think it has some really retro feel to some of the songs on it. (Young Love, Half in Love with Elizabeth, Flakes)



Cage The Elephant - Cage The Elephant
Good powerful band kinda reminded me of Arctic Monkeys. (Ain't No Rest For The Wicked, In One Ear, Back Against The Wall). Good songs and good band name (cage my elephant condoms?)



There are some more albums that I'm liking but mostly I imagine would be on the radio 24/7 anyway, Kings of Leon, Fallout Boy, Slipknot(on radio? huh?), The Killers, some more that I can't remember.

You love it, you hate it, you maybe even despise it. Doesn't matter, we all have different tastes anyway.

Now if Nuel or Ell is seeing this, they would be like"Ceh, tu ja ka pun sakai suda?" Well yeaa, to me (and majority of the Brits ironically), this year has been splendid so far, in terms of weather. Cause it has been snowing not once but twice in a month. (Last time it snowed heavily was early 2007). Apparently Britain has never been this cold since 1993/94. Those watching Liv v Che last Sunday (which Terrific Torres scored a brace =p) might notice that it was snowing. It was properly hammering right after the game. I love snow, its soft, and white and everything nice. Stopped snowing last night even though temperature dropped even more, the melted snow became ice.
I fell this morning, and kinda twisted my knee a bit. I wish they would grit them parking lots and small roads. I was literally sliding on ice with my dodgy flat sole Puma sneaks.

Haven't post for a while since I got back to work. Ew work. Don't you wish you can stay at home and get paid as well? Anyways, Heroes was back on last night. So as the other series. I watch a lot of series to be honest, from notoriously brilliant Scofield to the sarcastic genius House, the ever cool Horatio and geeky Grissom, to the awesomeness of Barney Stinson (It's gonna be legen...wait for it), yes I do watch a lot of series to be honest, dary. Time to take a break from JDoramas. <-- guilty pleasure, lol.

Last post I read was Jagz's first post, and today was like BAM. 3-4 new posts. Jagz's post should be interesting, although walls and walls of letters making up words and paragraphs just smacks me back down everytime I tried to overcome them. I think I just read up till the first 3-4 words before i succumbed to such properly written article. (History isn't my favourite subject, lol).

It is February, Happy birthdays. Jenn's bday is the most easiest to remember, lucky her. Just send her a love shaped cake with candles, is like hitting two birds with one stone. St. Valentine's day is coming, did you know it is the second largest card-sending holiday behind Christmas according to some research body. (Why do they research that sort of thing anyway, -__-)

Interesting thing I heard on the radio the other day, about a 22 yo woman who is auctioning off her virginity and is now up to 3.7mill USD, so I heard, and a deal with a book company waiting.

How many of you know your roots? CONT.

This is the place once stood a giant Nunuk Ragang, now replaced with a faux giant concrete tree for remembrance

Pada masa Aki Rungsud dan Aki Lzongguvai memulakan pengembaraan ke tavara (utara) menurut kopizo Lzumaag. Tidak di pastikan kenapa Aki Rungsud memilih menuju ke tavara ada beberapa kemungkinan iaitu nenek moyang mereka pernah melalui kawasan itu. 

Apabila sampai masa perjalanan isteri Aki Lzongguvai bersalin utk anak pertama... jadi hanya Aki Rungsud dengan pengkut2nya saja yg jalan terdahulu. Mereka membawa ayam yg banyak utk digunakan bagi membuat korban di setiap puncak bukit yang mereka singgah..bagi tujuan mengundang lzumaag menguasai perjalanan mereka. tanda utk aki lzongguvai menyusuri rungsud ialah sangkar ayam yg akan di gantungkan di atas kayu tinggi.. dan itulah tandanya laluan perjalanan aki rungsud.

Setelah sekian lama maka sampailah juga aki rungsud di kawasan bandau... kawasan bandau di berikan nama bandau yg bermakna (MONDOU). nama ini di berikan kerana apabila aki rungsud meninjau hutan tebal di kawasan tersebut mulai dari kawasan dataran sehingga ke bukit2.. kononnya aki rungsud terjumpa sejenis haiwan yang mempunyai api di mulut (duvarung/gugumorung).. haiwan tersebut menyerang aki rungsud.. pertarungan berlaku dan gugumorung tersebut tidak mengalah sampai mendekat hari subuh.. akhirnya melalui pertolongan kinoringan lzumaag seekor haiwan yg di panggil MONDOU di utus oleh Lzumaag utk menghalau gugumorung tersebut... Menurut kepercayaan agama lzabus, MONDOU adalah RAJA SEGALA HAIWAN DI HUTAN.. apabila MONDOU berbunyi maka duvarung tersebut melarikan diri... maka kawasan itu di namakan oleh Aki Rungsud sebagai MONDOU yang akhrnya di kenali sebagai BANDAU. BANDAU ini pula bertukar kepada KONOPUAN MOGKORUDU apabila berlaku perselisihan antara Rungus Pilzapazan dan Rungus Bandau + Tombonuvo. dalam perselisihan itu maka berlakulah perang secara angkasa diantara RUNGUS BANDAU bersama Tombonuvo berlawan ilmu hitam dengan orang Rungus Matunggong dan Kudat. Dalam persaingan kekuatan ilmu sihir itu maka akhirnya apabila keadaan tidak terkawal lagi maka mereka meminta agar ketua Bobolzizan yang bertugas menjalankan uapcara Managas (upacara mengorbankan manusia sebagai persembahan korban) utk menghentikan perselisihan tersebut secara adat. Maka orang-orang rungus matunggong akur ttg gesaan tersebut namun serangan Sindaat terus di lancarkan oleh orang rungus bandau dan tombonuvo.

Di sebabkan kemungkaran itu maka akhirnya Aki Sook (ketua bobolizan rinovusan yg bertanggungjawab dalam upacara managas) memutarkan kegunaan SUKANG PAMASI POMOGUNAN dengan menerbalikkan peranan sebagai SINDAAT. Melalui upacara MONGIZAU SINDAAT itu maka Aki Sook membuat satu sindaat baru yg di namakannya sebagai SINDAAT MOGKORUDU. Dalam sumpahan ini sesiapa saja yg menangisi mangsa sindaat di bandau akan mati serta merta termasuk tanaman dan haiwan ternak akan mati sekali. Maka bermulalah kuasa sindaat tersebut sehingga akhirnya konopuan bandau di kosongkan kerana ada saja yg menangis akan terkena sindaat tersebut. Rungus BANDAU dan TOMBONUVO pergi naik ke kawasan TUPAK (Bengkoka dan sehingga ke Paitan/Beluran). Ini kerana di kawasan tersebut melintasi zon sumpahan Aki Sook. Maka akhirnya bandau di panggil KONOPUAN MOGKORUDU yang mana pada hari ini kita kenalinya sebagai KOTA MARUDU. BANDAU kosong selama beberapa lamanya sehinggalah Sahrif Osman membuka kawasan tersebut..

 

Kembali kepada cerita Aki Lzongguvai.. apabila keadaannya mengizinkan.. maka akhirnya mereka menyusuri perjalanan aki rungsud. Tetapi tanda sangkar ayam tersebut sudah di pindahkan orang (menurut cerita orang yg memindahkannya adalah orang yang kurang siuman).

Jadi akhirnya aki lzongguvai tersesat ke tempat lain di kawasan penampang. Aki rungsud melalui maklumat bobilzizan mengetahui perkara ini dan beberapa orang di kerahkan utk menjejaki aki lzongguvai. Mereka menemui aki lzongguvai di satu kawasan pada musim kokotuai. Mereka mengajak aki lzongguvai utk pergi ke pompod tana tavara tetapi aki lzongguvai bertukar fikiran. Dia hendak membuat petempatannya di kawasan tersebut (pada hari ini tempat itu adalah kawasan penampang). Sungguhpun aki lozongguvai tidak ikut ke tavara tetapi dalam adat agama lzabus perbuatan itu harus di bayar korbannya kerana kawasan aki lozongguvai sudah di sediakan di pompod tanah dan harsu diisi oleh keturunannya. Melalui upacara korban memutuskan bahawa aki lozngguvai itu maka dia harus menyerahkan anak sulungnya yang lahir di Nunuk Ragang sebagai gantinya. Maka anak pertama mereka yang lahir sebelum perjalanan keluar dari nunuk ragang harus pergi ke pompod tana (kudat) sebagai mengisi perjanjian antara lzumaag.

Anak sulung aki lzongguvai dinamai sebagai Bulzun (BULUN. Aki Bulzun datang ke kudat pada sekitar umur 17 tahun bersama dengan 5 ekor anjing kebal. Aki Bulzun menurut cerita seorang yang berambut panjang. Dia datang ke bandau untuk menunaikan adat bangsa momogun. Maka aki bulzun di sambut oleh pak ciknya aki rungsud. Aki Rungsud membuat satu upacara pembahagian kawasan yang diadakan di KIRANGAVAN Kota marudu. Di kawasan tersebut diadakan satu upacara PALUAN GONG untuk pentahbisan seluruh kawasan tavara sebagai kawasan Momogun seperti mana perintah Kinoringan Lzumaag. Upacara itu di akhri dengan pembahagian kawasan. Cara pembahagian kawasan itu di lakukan dengan memalu gong KUMANIS milik RUNGSUD. Gong tersebut akan di palu selama 7 hari dan 7 malam dan seluruh mana-mana kawasan yang bunyi gong tersebut masih kedengaran adalah merupakan tanah milik aki rungsud.

Akhirnya sempadan di tentukan dengan memacakkan sejenis LEMBING yang di panggil BINORUDAN (lembing pahlawan yang bersaiz lebar pengayuh perahu). Sempadan itu sehingga hari ini di kenali sebagai BURUL BORUD yg terletak di kg Tambuluran Kudat.

maka aki BULZUN berkawin dengan sumuni (gadis sunti) bernama SINONDIHON. Aki Bulzun adalah anak aki lzongguvai. Aki lzongguvai adalah adik aki rungsud.

Keturunan aki Bulzun pada hari ini ialah di kenali sebagai Rungus Gonsomon.

 

Sebenarnya Aki Rungsud adalah anak sulung, Aki Lzongguvai adalah anak lelaki kedua dan Aki Turompok (Monumpok) adalah adik lelaki ketiga.

Aki Turumpok pada hari ini adalah merupakan RURUNGAN suku Dusun Tambunan, Ranau, Kota belud dan sebagainya. Turumpok tidak di bernarkan meninggalkan kawasan Nunuk Ragang kerana menurut adat dia adalah TANDON TONGKOB. Adat ini masih lagi digunakan oleh suku momogun rungus sehingga pada hari ini. TANDON TONGKOB bermakna (anak yang harus mewarisi kawasan ibubapanya atau mewarisi rumah bapanya.)

Adat ini masih subur dalam suku momogun rungus. manakala bagi orang rungus yang sudah meninggalkan kawasan Nunuk Ragang maka mereka tetap akan KEMBALI DI GUNUNG KINABALU selepas meninggal dunia. Menurut kepercayaan mereka apabila mereka meninggal maka HATOD orang rungus akan bangkit dan akan di pimpin oleh burung TAMBAZANGAN atau KONIU utk menuju ke Gunung Kinabalu. Inilah pengorbanan dan kepercayaan mereka. Untuk menganuti agama lzabus maka mereka harus keluar dari Nunuk Ragang utk menjaga kawasan pesisir pantai dan setiap bukit2 harus diadakan korban bagi MONGOLZIGOU semangat lzumaag agar tetap menjaga momogun.

Agama Lzabus menjadi penuntun hidup mereka selama ribuan tahun di pesisir pantai bagi menjaga daratan kerana itulah wasiat nenek moyang mereka iaitu perlindungan lzumaag mengalir dari atas bukit melalui korban dan dibawa ombak sampai ke seberang lautan.

 

Cerita ini masih banyak lagi namun agak sukar menceritakannya..disini. Apapun hakikatnya ialah KITA SEMUA SATU BANGSA menurut LEGENDA YANG TETAP DI WASIATKAN INI OLEH AHLI-AHLI AGAMA LZABUS orang Momogun Rungus.

"Avasi nopo kopizo.. avasi no vaza poimpasi"

How many of you know your roots?

Hi all, found this article on my disk. I don't know who's the original author. But i think this story is interesting. Afterall, i'm half rungus and half dusun, but i don't know this story at all. Mainly because i grew up mostly outside Sabah, spent more than half of my life abroad tanahairku.

Warmest regards,

Jagz.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Asal-Usul semua Kadazan-Dusun adalah sama. Cuma masalah kita dari awal ialah tidak mempertahan kan nama bangsa sendiri. Mereka ambil nama bangsa mereka seperti apa saja orang luar panggil terhadap mereka. DUSUN ini adalah panggilan orang laut sepoerti dari brunei dan sebagainya mereka memanggilnya sebagai Dusun kerana mereka tinggal di pedalaman.

Percubaan orang laut untuk memanggil orang Rungus sebagai Dusun ini juga berlaku ini kerana Rungus dan Tombonuvo adalah satu-satunya penduduk pesisir pantai sejak dahulu kala. Mereka juga pernah di panggil sebagai Dusun sejak dahulu tetapi panggilan ini di tentang habis oleh nenek moyang kami kerana ia bukan nama bangsa kami. Nama bangsa yang kami pakai sejak dahulu lagi ialah PASOK MOMOGUN (Peribumi Momogun). Momogun menurut tradisi orang rungus adalah nama bagi bangsa yang berasal dari Nunuk Ragang. Nama bangsa itu merujuk kepada Perjanjian yang di lakukan oleh Aki Gomburon (pencipta adat momogun pertama di Nunuk Ragang). Hukum Gomburon kemudian di perbaharui oleh Aki Guramanuk dan upacara itu di namakan Agama Lzabus.

Momogun ini merujuk kepada bangsa yang menghormati Lzumaag iaitu semangat gunung kinabalu. Hanya Momogun sahaja di kenal oleh Lzumaag melalui upacara yg di lakukan oleh Bobohizan. Bobolizan berasal dari perkataan "Bolzi". Bolzi adalah panggilan kepada "haiwan korban". Bolzi bermakna "BELI". Ini bermakna Bobolizan bertugas untuk "membeli semangat baru kepada lzumaag atas dosa-dosa yang di lakukan oleh orang Momogun dengan menggunakan korban iaitu haiwan ternak".

Bobolizan bertugas untuk melupuskan segala kesalahan bangsa momogun melalui korban. Jadi selama dulu nama bangsa kita ialah Momogun. Tiada kadazan dan tiada Dusun. Hanya Momogun yang ada. Dusun dan Kadazan ini adalah baru-baru wujud apabila era kemerdekaan oleh Tun Fuad. Ini kerana pada masa itu orang-orang kita tak tahu apa-apa ttg identiti mereka. Jadi apa saja orang panggil sama kita maka kita akui nama bangsa kita.

Yang pastinya kita adalah sama asalnya cuma masing2 jaga nama suku sendiri. Kalau di Rungus nama Momogun RUngus ini tak dapat di hilangkan kerana Momogun adalah nama bangsa dan Rungus adalah nama nenek moyang kami iaitu RUNGSUD yg akhirnya di sebut RUNGUS

 

yang pastinya walaupun kita baca buku-buku tulisan orang putih ttg bangsa sendiri lagilah tak masuk akal.. belum ada tulisan yang tepat malah tiada fakta yg paling tepat ttg identiti bangsa kita... apa yg pasti semua suku kadazandusun ada mitosnya dan dongengnya sendiri.. maka pendapat saya jagailah mitos suku sendiri... dan cuba-cubalah ketahui usul suku sendiri.. jangan suatu hari nanti nanti tanyakan asal-usul kita dengan orang putih pula... orang putih lagilah tak tau asal-usul kita..

Sebagai contoh Rungus Gonsomon cucu-cicit Aki Bulzun iaitu adalah anak Aki Lzongguvai. Aki Lzongguvai adalah nenek moyang momogun dari suku yg kini di kenali sebagai Kadazan pada hari ini.

Orang Dusun adalah menurut silsilah yang di pegang oleh orang Rungus adalah keturunan adik bongsu mereka iaitu Aki Torumpok. Keturunan aki Torumpok akhirnya mengosongkan nunuk ragang apabila di serang pelbagai penyakit. Sebahagian kecil keturunan Aki Torumpok ini menjejaki orang Rungus di kawasan Bandau dan mereka di kenali atau di panggil oleh kalangan Rungus sebagai Momogun Kimaragang. Momogun Kimaragang ini adalah rombongan dari nunuk ragang yg datang kemudian ke kawasan bandau pada masa nunuk ragang di serang penyakit wabak.

Hasilnya tetap sama.. kita adalah satu pada suatu ketika dahulu.

 

KADAZAN, DUSUN atau KADUS semua ini memang bukan nama bangsa yang ASLI. Kita semua tahu bahawa NAMA ASLI bangsa kita ialah MOMOGUN.
Samalah dengan Iban.. orang belanda memanggil mereka DAYAK... Orang Iban tidak setuju dengan panggilan tersebut dan sanggup menggadai nyawa untuk membantah panggilan Dayak terhadap Iban atau Bidayuh.. tetapi di sebabkan faktor politik maka akhirnya panggilan Dayak itu di terima juga pada pasca merdeka sehingga hari ini.. namun Iban tidaklah menghapuskan sama sekali nama bangsanya sebagai Iban tetapi mereka menggunakan kedua-duanya.

Di sabah pun berlaku seperti ini. Orang Kudat dahulunya di panggil orang Brunei sebagai DUSUN kerana tinggal di kawasan pedalaman tetapi di sebabkan nenek moyang menghapuskan sesiapa saja yang memanggil nama bangsa dengan panggilan yang tidak betul itu maka akhirnya Brunei atau pihak British harus mengiktiraf panggilan Momogun Rungus kepada orang Kudat.

Pada hari ini kita boleh gunakan mana-mana saja yang kamu suka pakai... mana-mana sebutan yg kamu suka pakailah saja...

kalau kami di kudat kami pakai dalam penulisan beberapa nama sebutan yang tetap merujuk kepada suku kami.. walaupun nama ini SINONIM dengan GANAS atau KASAR tetapi haruslah di akui bahawa itulah hakikatnya.. seperti di bawah ini:

Dusun ini adalah panggilan orang Brunei kepada penduduk tempatan di borneo utara.

Kami orang Kudat tinggal di pesisir pantai dan bagi kwasan pantai barat Kudat /marudu yang pertama di buka ialah di toringai, koniung, Tuhau, Morimbou, andarason, Torungkungan, Kimihang,kgMuhang, bangau, suangpai, sehinggalah ke Tomborungus di bandar kudat sekarang. nama-nama ini adalah bandar-bandar dulu yg di buka orang Momogun Rungus di sekililing Kudat.
Manakala di teluk bandau juga di buka di tepi-tepi laut bersama-sama dengan orang Tombonuvo. Kawasan yang di buka ini adalah di sebut BADI (kalau dahulu badi itu bermakna BANDAR) manakala Tomu adalah PEKAN tempat yang lebih kecil dari BADI.

Kehidupan mereka adalah seperti itu... cuma di sebabkan PENDIRIAN yang berbeza maka di KUDAT semua orang Sulu dan Brunei tak boleh memanggil Suku Momogun Rungus sebagai DUSUN (membawa makna penduduk pedalaman) dan orang Momogun Rungus tidak mahu di panggil sebagai KADAZAN (tinggal di kedai-kedai) walaupun pada masa pembukaan Kudat sebagai Daerah Pentadbiran Utama British.. malah bagi mereka yg tinggal di Kudat pada masa itu mereka hanya menerima panggilan Momogun Rungus atau jika orang itu tinggal di pekan Kudat pada masa itu mereka bolehlah di panggil sebagai ORANG TOMBORUNGUS (tinggal di pekan kudat tetap tidak di panggil Kadazan).

Menurut saya ini kerana di sebabkan PENDIRIAN dan bukan apa-apa pun. Itu sebab kita bebas menggunakan apa-apa nama bangsa yang kita mahu..

Malah dahulu ada juga kumpulan rungus yang di panggil sebagai MELOBONG RUNGUS kerana kalau mereka di panggil dengan DUSUN atau apa-apa panggilan yg keluar dari Momogun Rungus maka orang orang itu akan diajak bertarung siapa yang mati akan di KUBURKAN. Maka itulah sebabnya di panggil Rungus Melobong...

 

Kenapa Tombonuvo, Kimaragang dan Rungus sampai sekarang di kenali sebagai Momogun? Ini kerana itulah nama bangsa kita yang diajarkan oleh nenek moyang. Malah dalam upacara MOMURINAIT kadazandusun ini tak di kenal oleh SUNDUVAN KINORINGAN LZUMAAG. BOBOLZIZAN hanya mengenal perkataan MOMOGUN, RUNGUS, KIMARAGANG, TOMBONUVO dan sebagainya yg merujuk kepada suku mereka..

Hello... Hello... Hi! its Yaya here. :)

Currently listen to Lucky by Jason Mraz feat. Colbie Caillat... Have u heard this song before?
ala... yang lyric dia macam ni...

"Lucky that I'm in love with my bestfriend,
Lucky to have been where I have been... "

Well, this is my first blog after been approved by Prim. thanks ya Prim. ngee. wah.. kinda sesat jugak with the command here. maybe due to unfamiliar html command. never mind... I'll learn it and sooner or later will be expert on this. :)

Okay... How are you guys today? the weather here in KL is better than yesterday... hari ni sangat cerah and I think its good for the laundry thing. Isn't it ladies? hehe. What do I want to write in today? I do have several idea to write down but because of this is my first blog, therefore I just want to give my remarks today. you know.. the introduction part.

Currently, I'm here in my campus. IIUM. still here for the degree (ya la kan.. most of us finished already with the study even some are working too). the good news for my study is.. this is my finale sem. yeahhh! suda nda sabar mo habis and put meself in the real world plus I miss my hometown... (homesick~ homesick~) Rindu to go to tamu - jalan2 pegi pulau - makan seafood and shopping! to be honest ya.. shopping at Sabah is better than here. plus the price is cheap compare to here. Last time I went to 1Borneo.. Nine West wallet - the new arrival one only RM150. very cheap price. even Habib there the price begin 300++. cheap kan? compare to here? I think its like 50-70%. mahal oooo... :P

Oh ya, since the page is dedicated to YS student batch 1997-2001... I want to suggest something here... why don't we make an alumni then? boleh ka tu? make it official one. So, mana la tau one day we can meet again and do the activity together. If we can make it real.. that would be more meaningful kan to our batch. Siapa setuju nanti post comment here k. :)

I'm thinking before to buy Caldina but its quite useless for the road in sabah... Lagi2 la sekarang musim hujan, nampak betul guna kereta 4WD ni tau... Banjir sana sini... lopak bukan main lagi.. Haish... So Help me decide OK????

Maybe early FEB i'll be back to work... Next Destination IBIZA, Palma de Mallorca.. Spain.
Sorry Mr. Prim no Pic this post. Maybe later, i will write here whenever i'm free.

P:S/ Anyone free mo lepak2 bleh la email aku OK?? Jangan tunggu terjumpa di tamu baru mo tegur.. hehehe

God Bless all Ex-YS Student... May Luck be with you ALL.

warning !!!

Well,since CNY is just around the corner, it always mean that raining for the whole days..otherwise,there wont be 2 death cases in Beluran about boat sinking and drowning !!
so just be careful guys coz time2 ni memang best pmandi sungai,pancing udang or show-off with ur swimming skill,eh?

nowdays pun,KK kuat hujan,bikin takut bawa kereta!! tapi best juga coz urang bertapuk dirumah n susah datang hospital..haha

p/s: kepada cikgu-cikgu kita disini,plz make sure anak2 murid anda enda punteng pigi mandi sungai yah..

But then,once again in KK, still about school children, lot of street children already go work or become "penjaja"..some people feel pity for them,some are not coz they are PTI..and if u just let them wondering around,of course social issues are the main concerns!! and just to see them jual ikan somewhere at field?gosh..especially in wetmarket..anybody been in Sandakan wet market before?terrible!!

they will just follow u and begging to buy the black plastic@bahai..yeah,i felt pity but the fact is still the fact that they are illegal imigrants and its totally tarnished our state image..but,this is not our duty,coz we have enforcement for this matter? the question is,how strict and success this enforcement? I just wish,somehow we will have another type of Chong Kah Kiat where he was brave enough to make sure all the immigrant quarters being destroyed..kudos to him!



p/s: each of you should have ur own view regarding this matter,right?

p/s : Thank you, Y.S !!!

Last week must be the happiest time for few children, school started again!! yeah..but, in reality, there were some people who face this problem..cannot go to school due to financial problem and unable to cope with school environment..

Gosh,sia betul2 terkejut bila baca news dalam NSTP about sabahan bumiputra, esp Kadazandusun di Penampang..most of them, enda mau p sekolah, or tiada niat langsung mau p sekolah..even yang pergi pun, terpaksa tinggal di asrama yang jauh dari rumah dorang, sebab nya,untuk pergi ke sekolah saja perlu 4 hours..sepa tahan!! but once stayed in hostel, terpaksa pula terima "ragging" culture and home sickness..ada juga yang sampai lari dari hostel..

then,compared with our days, lain pula ceritanya kan?we were so lucky stayed in serba cukup facilities and good teachers surround us..but,still ada juga yang sebahagian dari kita yang "fly malam" coz mau pbeli sigup or roti canai=)

Yupe,i never realized that our people have this kind of problem..if di semenanjung,normally just orang asli yang terima nasib macam ini,but to hear such news di Penampang? tempat idaman most of laki2 sabah mau cari isteri, really sad..

Can blame this children indeed..coz,dorang sudah biasa with their environment and i agreed,it was totally hard to leave it esp mau p belajar di tempat orang..even u managed to go somewhere else pun, if us still attach to ur place, either u fail in ur new environment or show a bad attitude..sia masih lagi ingat my YSmate di SAAS, with the environment yang cukup sempurna, dia jadi jajal and play around..if only he knows about some people aren't so lucky to get that oppurtunity!!

So, it was like a dream come true when we got that YS scholarship and studied in boarding school compared with some of our friend who stayed in crowded-lack-of-facilities hostel..but, one thing yang we totally cannot ignored is their spirit to study even in this kind of situation..

p/s: Kudos to those "sabahan" yang started this idea of giving scholarship..

2 thousand 9

Wooo, a new year's coming!. I really hope you guys will enjoy celebration tonight, fireworks, bbq, mandi laut, siram air, mandi bunga. (what's with the water and new year anyway? buang suwey?) I.will.not be enjoying new year, as always =p. It's really damn cold, tonight its -1C and still dropping (though Nuel and El will have it even worse, -15C this Friday? ahk! brr..). One reason holding me back would be the fact, (observe pic^) I have really itchy, swollen, red mosquito-like bites, burning sensation feeling on me fingers and fingertoes. Sampai nda buli tidur, gatal cam kana ciken pox ja. Went to the hospital, and been told it was an allergy reaction. Mhm, not surprising? Well, get this.. allergic to cold. Yep, not kidding.. So went back home and google bout it.
"As strange as it sounds, it is possible to have an allergy to cold temperatures. Doctors refer to this as cold hives (urticaria).

In some people, skin exposure to cold temperatures triggers the release of histamine and other chemicals into the skin. This results in skin redness, itching, swelling and hives. Although symptoms may begin during the cold exposure, they're often worse during rewarming of the exposed skin.

The cause of cold urticaria isn't clear. But certain people appear to have overly sensitive histamine-containing skin cells.

As much as possible, people with cold urticaria should avoid exposure to cold air as well as cold water. For example, swimming in cold water is the most common cause of a severe, whole-body reaction — leading to fainting, shock and even death."

Yep, can die punya ooo. Ahk~ Nothing serious though, just need to take a pil when symptoms occurs. Tapi tula, kna pkai gloves, socks..nda buli jadi starring tahan sajuk. O by the way, macam Christmas? Im getting a lil bit homesick. 4th Christmas abroad. Though I can cook properly now. =p












Ba, sepa mo pok sia jadi laki tu ari tu a? Ahk =p

Anyway, Happy New Year 2009. bla bla bla bla bla bla (and may you have a good year)

ReBranding of Jesus..

Disgusted! yeah,it was my first impression when i read this article in theStar newspaper lastweek. this article was about advertising, mainly came from the church's members who tried to renew the people's view or faith in God..well,since X'mas is just around the corner,cant help it though..

But,when i finished read the article,i found it really interesting, since their motives was not bad at all,but mainly to remind people about faith..nowadays, people put faith as a second thing in their life, coz money/lifestyle is the most important!! cant blamed them since i also feel the same way..and along the way to achieve this modern life, people think that put everything in faith wont change anything..really?

Even the lead member of this advertising group admitted that their purpose of doing so, was mainly to remind people of what they have missed..something about they can think and appreciated for the things happen in their life..one of the adv that their used last year was so fascinating. A frothy beer which showed Jesus's face on the glass!! Gosh, just wondering how many people will affected while drink the beer and see this pic,haha..but, what's the point also if finished drink, and saw the pic? will it change anything? Hm, something to think about eh..




hm,sorry for "terbalik" pic!! but u still can see eh? so great to put this kind of adv..anybody wana beer?


well, nobody expect that Jesus was born in bus stand eh? but from this pic, it try to show that no matter where u put the holliness,people still ignored that event and busy with their life..



this pic showed the one of the dictator leader in one of south america countries, in Jesus's form..well,i think that if u can scared of that kind of leader,then u should be scare of God...

Whatever it is, it's always depend on you, how u project ur faith towards God..nobody will blame u, or force u to do something which only to show how deep of ur believe in God..at least this my view, coz i always believe in God,but to show it by going to church every Sunday,nope i didnt do so..

1.Reporting in

Dun dun dun~ Hi, my name is Joy and I'll be posting crap and useless things on this blog, mostly about myself though, cause I'm one sad self centered lad. Please to make your acquaintance. (^_^)V

Wah lama nda blog ni. Ahk. So anyway, I'm just at home these days, been on holiday for a week now. Going back to work on 5th Jan. Kasih kamas bilik, kasih wangi, cause to be honest, every and I mean EVERY laki2 bujang, mesti ada time bilik dia tlampau a)samak b)kutur c)babau or d)a,b and c. It's hard to maintain a perfectly clean and neat room 24hours a day, 7days a week and so on and so on. It's just, bila ko balik dari kerja/kelas/jalan2, sometimes ko tlampau penat and can't be bothered with cleaning up. So, time cuti ni, brabis la kunun kasih smart bilik. Colour coding, susun buku ikut alphabet and type, etc etc. Cam OCD pula kadang2 sia rasa. Because sia tlampau sot, mo betul susun cara gitu kan, satu minggu suda but blum lagi abis susun bedroom ni. Ahk! Bad Joy..bad...
It's December, and people are starting to get on with their Christmas shopping. Last Saturday was the most crowded in this little town of Stafford all year. Ingatkan "credit crunch" nda la ramai urang kluar pigi shopping. Weeee, it's a reindeer!. Bukan payau aaa.(sia lupa this term,tpaksa tanya si Nuel =p) Santa's reindeer lost in Stafford. No Christmas presents for them kiddies! Big tree is also very pretty at night.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Mungkin terlalu awal for sia wish kamu kan,but better awal rather than nothing..so,dalam beberapa hari ni sebelum masuk tahun baru,banyak yg berlaku disekeliling kita!! landslide,car accidents, even pregnant lady kena langgar time baru ja keluar rumah,kesian bah..

Paling sia enda tahan adalah tentang landslide di Bukit Antarabangsa,KL..so sad,esp tempat tu berlaku 1.5km dari Highland Towers,15 years ago.masih ingat?even the Highland Tower's victim pun cakap,project will go on after 3months..this politician cakap banyak ja,but in reality,nothing happens!!
If semua sedar bahawa tempat tu enda selamat for hill projects,then why still approved the project?weird eh?and now,our Information Minister said that this blame should be shared both developer and buyer!! gosh,obviously people akan beli rumah yang baik,cantik and kawasan yg mg terkenal dari segi kualiti..so,salah pembeli rumah juga ka if they still proceed buy this house?then,why in the first place built this place,kalau bukan mau jual ni tempat,kan?if kamu faham apa maksud sia..

Why im so sad?well,coz one of the victim (young mother) happened to be a daughter-in-law to somebody,yang sia kenal.. and to read the newspaper,showing the grandma's pic (the one i know),its very unbelievable!!!

And today news, a 7-month old pregnant lady hit by car,just outside her house,im so sad..but keep saying about road/highway accident,but suddenly this thing happened in housing estate..everything happens when few days lagi mau masuk new year..im really sure,this will remains in the memory forever,coz sepa yang enda pernah ingat something happen during end of the year,kan? Condolences foe both family..

So,guys,please no heavy drink or dont do anything stupid during this few days of the remaining 2008 yah..Have a good celebration,wish u all "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2009"..




"If only they learned from the past.." hopefully,our country will learn from this second tregedy!

Huminodon...

the spirit of paddy....




must have reason to have that dog,kan?maybe dog can see "thing"?





this remind me of metamorphosis..



Indeed, she was so beautiful..


Hm, never expected this kind of mythology, i mean from our culture itself, will make name in international stage..well,do you really know about this legend? come and read this..

First, there was nothing but Kinoingan and Sumundu . Together, they created man and the universe, the earth, and everything seen and unseen, known and unknown.

In the beginning, all was well in the Heavens, and the world was pure and beautiful. But one day, Ponompulan, Kinoingan’s son, rebelled against his divine father, and he corrupted the hearts and minds of the humans on earth.

Disappointed and angry, Kinoingan banished Ponompulan from the Heavens and cast him to Kolungkud . Then, to punish mankind for their sinful ways, Kinoingan sent seven plagues. The last plague was a severe draught, and famine threatened to destroy every living being on earth.

But at last, the people on earth realised their sin, and turned back to Kinoingan, to ask for forgiveness. Ponompuan, Kinoingan’s only daughter, entreated her father’s mercy to forgive the people of the world and consented to Kinoingan's proposal that she be sacrificed, as a symbol of the greatest love of all.

Kinoingan sacrificed His only daughter so that the people could have food. Her body parts were planted as seeds and became the food resource of the world: rice. Ponompuan’s spirit dwells in the paddy, and is the seven-in-one Bambaazon (Bambarayon), the spirit of the paddy. Red rice is the most sacred of all, because it was from the flesh of Ponompuan.

Ponompuan, who is often called Huminodun, is in essence the soul of the paddy. During harvesting time, the Bobohizans (Bobolians) usher the seven-in-one soul of Bambaazon to dwell in the Tangkob (Toguruon), at home, until the next planting season is due.


To thank Kinoingan for Bambaazon’s gift of a good harvest, the Pesta Ka’amatan (Harvest Festival) is held. The Kadazans forgive each other, restore and strengthen peace and harmony – not only on a worldly level, but also between nature and the spiritual world – and play the gongs, sing songs and dance to the ancient rhythm of life.

To commemorate the greatest love of all, Kinoingan’s sacrifice of His only daughter, the Kadazans idolise Huminodun and select the Unduk Ngadau (lit: zenith of the sun; Harvest Beauty Queen) in order to remember that Ponompuan was perfect: she was of total beauty of the heart, mind soul and body.

Macam enda percaya pulak we have this mythical legend kan? i mean after so long celebrated Pesta Menuai..wau...but today,sia mau highlights what happened in Hong Kong..well,there is one artist,local/sabahan, which she used digital photo technique, and created this beautiful painting, and sold it at Christie, an auction di Hong Kong for USD 38000/RM 117000..UNbelievable bah!! i feel like it was so true and it has the sense to be a true legend..

P/S: hopefully we will appreciated more of Pesta Menuai after this, rather than waiting just for "moginum",kan..
