I igt lagi, that night, ada la sorang beauty pageant tu, dpt soklan, "apakah yang sgt simbolik dengan Mukah" (kurang lebih la the question" she answered... "TAPAU".. then people laugh... i dont know wats wrong.. then the juruacara ask her to pronounce properly... wats the problem?? I didnt get it... suddenly my dad said, its supposed to be "TAPEW".. "TAPAU" in english, TAKE AWAY FOOD!! ahahah.... now i know... malanau apa laa I ni...

Tiada Seuniknya 2

This is the second part. some more pictures taken. some more things to share

Bha bha bhaa.... continue... the last 1 was posted at 3am & this 1 is at 3pm... hopefully got more energy though just coming back from the "hari kemuncak" Pesta Kaul at Pantai Kala Dana, Mukah (not so sure,,, 80% sure).. it was a very2 hot day. i didnt expect it was that hot because early in the morning, the sky seems not so happy seeing so many people at the beach.. but then, more n more light & heat was sent to us... waa... bahasa yuu.... bunga x wak bunga.... in short, it was very2 heating outside. even now.

lets talk about yesterday first, we went there at about 2 wif no plan to go. My dad said that he wanted to buy a "tree" from the "Bulat Nursery" n we have some more space to plant a tree. but my mom... she had something else in her mind. an OSTRICH BURGER... i never taste 1 so i am so interested to have it into my mouth.

before we went to the two places, we went around the beach to see wats on sale n wats new. like i said before, Pesta Kaul is a celebration for people to eat! half of the beach was prepared for people to sell food such as burgers, potato spring, grilled chicken, sausage, etc. and the other half was for "rakyat" where each booth symbolize their 'kampong'... but still, wat is the major activities in all the booths?? they sells food like kerepek, dried prawn, traditional cakes, sagu n many more. some of them serve free food for the visitors to eat. This morning, my "kampong" serve free melanau food like umai, linut,grilled fish, n more. next entry, ill post the pict~

I can say that we bought at least 1 packet of food in each and every booth so our house will never short of food. that explained something about me~ so, its not my fault for my weight gaining crazily.

there were also handcrafts. some are for sale, but some not. like this one, NOT FOR SALE!!! "TENGOK SAJA"

still nice... event people from out of mukah took this opportunity to earn some extra sales. I dont remember Mukah has a Batik Producer or factory or, at least people making it~ my moms loves one of these,, so nice but so expensive~

Then near 3 we went to

RM 5.00 each??? ok2, hard to find ostrich in mukah, anyway, luckily we went to taste it yesterday. today 1, so full!!! not even a space to eat... so the 3 of us ordered the same thing, n drinks. we went to the nursery n buy a starfruit tree maybe,,, i dont know, ill ask my dad again later..

they sent me home n off to work! santai2 saja masok kerja... wait for my "Tiada Seuniknya 3". bbye~ have ur nice day

waa... ini gmbar pemilik blogger nih,,, penat but still.. u comment la sndiri...

"Tiada Seuniknya"

The best-known festival celebrated by the Melanaus is the Kaul Festival (Pesta Kaul). Originating from the animistic beliefs traditionally held by the Melanaus, the Pesta Kaul is held annually in April, as a purification and thanksgiving to appease the spirits of the sea, land, forests and farm. for us, (I mean the Melanaus' "orang tua") -we call it IPOK.

This festival is celebrated by the Melanau people living in the coastal settlements in Mukah. Through the festival, the Melanau people offer their thanks to the Ipok for keeping them safe through the monsoon season, and ask for a good bounty on their fishing trips.

Today, however, the Pesta Kaul is celebrated more as a cultural festival, rather than a religious one. One of the highlights of this festival is the tibau a traditional giant swing sometimes 20-feet high, from which youths would dive down to catch a swinging rope. But this year, the one that was highlited the most is the "Teluaih Jinih" (beauty pageants), That's what i thought, maybe because i went watching it, n so do other people n the place was crowded too. There are also performances of traditional dance such as the alu alu and display of martial art performances.

But now, I'm not going to talk more than that about it, but more to my experience celebrating it myself. Since I was in Sainsku, I celebrated Pesta Kaul in the %^&*( dorm and usually during exams.I hated it when my parents keep telling me they're enjoying Pesta Kaul as much as I enjoy studying.. wat??? enjoy they said??? Alright2... keep all the anger aside, and lets talk about something nice... its 3 AM in the morning Jimie, type faster!!!

this year, Im attending it,, even the prePesta Kaul.. dont believe me??

Im here!!! ignore the motorcycle... my moms said it was annoying. AGREEE!!!!

For me, this event is more like a food or key chain selling,,, or maybe all the "jualan lambak" here and there...but still I like it laa... Long2 time ago, it was also kinda food festival but "we" feed the Ipok. These are wat they eat...

I'm not pretty sure coz my aunt told me this... but this one in the pic, its for me k~ Ipok is just a myth. (I hope Ipok doesn't read my blog), thanks to these ladies (one of them is my bestie's mom, Intan Shaheere's mother) for making it a delicious 1!! wats important? its free~

see!! My mom just bought me something more to eat. WHEN WILL IT STOP??!!! (if u r a true followers, ull know)

One more thing that I know and u people should know too,,,is a "serahang".. last time it was used to dine the spirits of sea. but today, its just another symbol of Pesta Kaul. n, I dont have to be worried holding this one~

~Serahang~ (hardly found any food in them nowadays)

Besides that, another word I mentioned earlier is "tibau". here it is;

can only take picture from distance. waa.. cannot continue... lack of pic n energy... need to go to sleep. Ill be at the "Tapak Pesta Kaul" again n take more photos. will continue this entry if there's more time n pict~ Pesta Kaul 2011 theme; Tiada Seuniknya... memang pown~ org blah sane xkn nk buat jgak pesta2 kaul nih... U should attend 1 before u "go"... happy reading~

Today 1, Im posting an entri on the subject of “My Favourite; food that I need to stay away from~!!”. (too long for a topic, huh?) I know n i’ve been listening to people grumbling about their favorite foods are “killing” them!! For me, as long as they are food, they aren’t killing k~ its safe as long as no ‘additional’ poison added... ok2, this is about me n my opinion. During this 3 or 4 months, ive been gaining weight like crazy!! 10 kilos in 3 months??? I took it for granted by saying to myself;

“I gain weight easily, so, no problem in losing them later”

It was like, I saw the gain, but i don’t care.. sometimes i assumed that the weighing scale was not working properly still M noticing i am gaining But in this passed weeks, i realized that, I have to go for a U turn though the driving teacher haven’t teach me that, but I HAVE TO!!! So , I started eating less than usual, skip breakfast (its not healthy to skip ur breakfast), spent more time online (most of the time on twitter), drink more water than eating food, reduce watching movies n exercise~ N i found that it worked.. I LOSt 1 KG AFTER FEW DAYS!!! Waa,,, so happy maaa... then i celebrate myself,, How I celebrate?? EAT!! Wat M I actually???!!! I have so many reasons to eat... when I stressed for nothing, I EAT. When Im angry, I EAT!. When M SAD, i EAT! Watching Movies is not complete without EATing, even when it rains, must EAT EXTRA wif alasan; “it is cold, so need heat by eating” so ridiculous la. I texted My favourite fren, (ada juak favourite fren),,

JM: “oi, I need help... i gained so much weight... tell me not to eat, buddy”...

AT: “X salah makan, makan jak... xpa”

Alamak.... I always follow wat this fren said, “Ji, cia aku mkan.” “Ji, tman aku g toilet”. “Ji, lak explain ngan aku” “Ji, ju g pom 6”...

Regular answer; “OK.. bena kw tok??” but this time,,, “OK2”..

WAT??? Follow wat fren said bha,, ahahha... then this person rationalization make me realized that, just eat as long as you have enough food to eat... klak2, smbong masok U ka, College ka, msti xda masa mok mkan gk... so then, i stop my ‘diet’ n start eating again, but in normal rate laa... still need to mantain... ne tahan klo jmpa ngan kawan2 n saudara2 asyik2 “gemok na miji”, “mkin berisik eh” “nk apa d makan kw bna gilak??”... mok juak kdg2 org padah waa... slim dh kw tok owww~~ lol... tunggu jak aa... nnti, I msok Unversity, u nk cakap I tok model, model la.. artis pun artis... ahaha... wait n see...

I just need more than motivation n torture to stop eating!!

Today, nothing special so these jak la ideas yg datang to blog about.. later, klo no idea lagi, i post an entri about my height plak... (another non celebrity quality that i have~ J) these idea suddenly come becoz m eating these now!!

njoy for me to eat! njoy for u to read!!

HOME COOKING

o my,,, To followers or readers, just the last post I was sayin;

"Im a guy, born to mess the house.. wat u expect?? cook for the whole family?? pfft~"

N today i was cooking for my family,,,hahaha,,, congratulations! I mean for my elder brother only laa. Me, my daddy n mom was eating out. my bro was at work, so, he didnt joined us. it was more like a "branch" for my parents bcoz i knew they hven't had breakfast yet at that time. For me, naa... since holiday started, i can't even differentiate btween "breakfast", "lunch" and "dinner" !! :P then we went home.. Right before my parents off back to work, he said;

"Goreng nasik for ur brothers. no one cook at house"

and I cannot say no... Bcoz I have dat experience mking fried rice besides ordering it in a restaurant u know.. then, I mula la dgn mncari bawang merah,, Hiris halus2 (not to halus, becoz my bro wont like it).. see, i can use the knife,,,

n then baru i carik ingredients lain,,, These r the main ingredients for Jimmy's Fried Rice...

also~

(Oyster sauce to give flavour, Soy sauce to give colour n blackpepper to add the spicyness..)

Firstly, tumis bawang smpy wangi~ tp, today's 1 hangus! still wangi. hehe... then fry protein first which is the Prawns. Goreng smpai btol2 masak... baru msokkan eggs... left for about 20 secs then baruk hancurkan. oyster sauce, soy sauce, black pepper, salt n "Ajinomoto" which is an MSG!

masokkan rice, sebatikan kale2 nye,, n siap la... (sorri cannot ambik gamba time mmasak n proses2 yg lain,,, takut hangus,,, gkpun I was alone at home~ len kali, bila dh jd chef, baru bole upah cameraman)

wat so difficult masak2 nih,,, pompuan gk bole buat~ lol,, actually this entri was posted for reasons besides sharing you foods n showing u ols yg I ni, reti pkai Kuali... evrytime jak I fry rice, iniiilaa recipe dye,,, need improvement or atleast other suggestions and tips. My fried rice nih still far away from restaurant standard or just I tok yg boring ngan the same Fried Rice all the time.. bila mkn kt restaurant pun, I igt lg abg I berpesan... "kalau mkn kt luar, xpyh la order menu/mknan yg bole dbuat d rumah..." becoz of that, I jarang order NASI GORENG kt restaurant2 kecuali terdesak (terdesak apa ka~). but still, bnyak2 yg I goreng... abys jugak~ laku!! ahahha,,, ok laa... tq again for ur time n i would appreciate more if u all can spend more time to give comment brbntuk tips / suggestions~

BARBECUE @ RUMAH SENDIRI 1st TIME!!!

Hello followers (or not so followers)!! Theres something to share ni.. today kan, my moms baruuu balik dari Kuching~ ada hal la,,, alaa,, bz la ktakan... dgr2, early May ada lagi program kt KCH,,, n my dad pun kmungkinan besar this week angkat ke "sumwer" for work.. wen i ask him about Pesta Kaul, he answered me "ish, gago jk Pesta Kaul".. pak, xekot ka??? "gago... Pesta Kaul bpk gago ngan bnda lain....".. =.=!!

so, mcm ambik turn la my parents not stayin home,, (jgn slah sngka plak, we r happy family k..) all bcoz of work n cmnity services dat my moms love to join. Me?? I stay home. Like I told the Pegawai JPA, i do the housework while my parents off to work... I did k.. memang I did though not so much. Im a guy, born to mess the house.. wat u expect?? cook for the whole family?? pfft~

so juicy2 bnyak kt atas nih,,, straight to d point now, we just had our first Barbecue at our own NEW house,, (mentioned on the Title),, its fun!! I helped a lot,,, most of the time I take picture.. here r some of my elder brother 'contributions' to the event~

Besar2 lagi tu... abg ckap, bnyak lgi aritu, just kesian tengok kwn2 yg x dpt tengkap udang besar2,,, ow, my bro loves to fish,,, I mean Prawn,.. eh?? "Prawn a verb??" in Malay, dia suka menangkap Udang~ kn senang explain gtu!!

NI plak from my dad~

ni haa... klo x nmpak, dalam air tu ada Lobster Udang Udangan, n Ikan tenggiri (1 of the top ranked fish. Mukah xda salmon, dik) Noo,,, bkan my dad yg tangkap... beli.. some kawan bagi... besides, ada ayam (boring~) since i x tangkap or beli or even get anything from anyone, i should help wif the barbecue laa... Preparation r easy... im not really2 sure wat my dad done to the seafood+chicken... he mix them wif something.. i dont know~ i was watching ;

Kappa Mikey (1600)

CatDog (1630)

SpongeBob Squarepants (1700) (all at channel 119)

wen my dad did it,,, i think its just easy mixing2 thing.. kan??

This is wat we did to prepare the "bara" from the charcoal~

We burned them on stove!! LOL!! my dad told me not to blog bout this cuz so embrassing.. i think its creative n smart n ... A+ student!! ahahah... its kinda sgt berjaya n fast but wait till u see this 1.. lagi laa..

:D... malas nk kipas pkai tgn, pkai je la Kipas letrik,,, bole adjust speed lagi... tgn2 pn x la pnat,, kn genius tu,,, (actually we saw this in Miri... they even use bigger fan to make Sate~ we came back from Miri n i think this is the 1 we brought back,,, a tradition~ :P)

not bad also this idea.. tengok;

jadi jak~ cantik la bara2 api tu,,, bk kata pepatah melayu, Kalau genggam bara api, (tu pun kalo kau nk genggam bnde tuh~), biar smpai jadi ______ (not sure,,,)

. my major "job" here was to "tepung tawar" all the food... u dont know "tepung tawar"???? dis 1 meh... sapu2 atas itu ayam n ikan n udang n Lobster

Lets get started!!

before the barbecue, i always ask my dad... pak, y not u buy the orange lobster like we eaten before n in TV also kale oren maa~ he just smiled at me... (how could u???~~!!)

waa... suddenly change color ka??? =.^... malu nye bile xde ilmu pngtahuan yg lengkap~ wahaha.. makin asyik I ambik gamba!!!

this 1 is the "ayam" (cannot see clearly)

n,, after like 3 hours spending time wif the barbecue set,,, its time to serve~

(sorry, only smpat ambik this 2,,, above 1 is the prawn (big n small) n below it was the Lobster.... crashed into pieces... thank god my dad did dat... easier for me to telan semua... we invited our aunts (3 of them) n my cousin to join the "I dont know wat we r celebrating" dinner~ to top it up, enjoy them wif COKE!!

Thank You for spending ur PRECIOUS time on this Greeny Blog of mine... so, I guess sooner or later,, m not a loner anymore... I always enjoy great food n I would love to share them wif u guys (and gurls of course) .. anytime,, anityme~
