Gawai 2024

Gawai, the Dayak harvest festival, is here again. We have so much to be thankful for this year. 

This is the time when we gather to celebrate with our families and to remember our traditions. 

May God continue to bless us with abundance, health, and happiness. Here's to a prosperous season and a beautiful cultural festival for all.

Buah Brotik

Korang tau tak buah apa ni?

Bidayuh Bau panggil ni buah Brotik.

My eldest sister suka sangat buah ni, dia mmg suka buah rare, tau pulak mana nak cari, ni pun dia yang bagi.

Best juga ada kakak yg selalu remind tentang tradisi dan makanan lama macam. Kalau harap saya, memang tak kenal la buah rare macam ni.

Buah ni, kulitnya berwarna hitam, sekali tengok mcm buah keranji. Keranji kulit nyer lembut, yang ni keras, lebih keras dari buah Kristal.

Isi dalam nya macam kacang warna putih, rasa nyer mcm ..

Pernah tak makan isi paling dalam buah Dabai, bukan isi kuning dabai tau. Biji dabai yg keras tu, kalau dipecahkan, dalam nya ada isi kacang warna hijau muda. ha rasa nyer agak sama la dgn buah brotik ni.

Bagi yg tak pernah rasa dabai gak, lain kali lah saya fikirkan persamaan lain.

Rindu pulak nak makan buah Keranji sob sob.

Wild Passion Fruits

It has been ages since I last see and eat this Wild Passion Fruit.  Few days ago I saw these at a friend’s house gate, of coz I have to get some these hard-to-find fruits.




Ahhh it tastes exactly like my sweet wild adventurous childhood memory :)

Have you tasted this fruit?
It tastes very similar to the common passion fruits, but these tiny wild passion fruits are so much sweeter, no sour taste. So good!

Remember only to take the orange one, the green one are not ripe yet.

The Iban called this Letup, the Bidayuh called it Tayot.

Eugene's 1st Holy Communion

Eugene receives his 1st Eucharist last month.

The day before, he went for his 1st Confession.

The sacrament of First Communion took place during the morning Sunday Mass.  Total of 45 children graduated on that day, 22 young girls and 23 young boys.

I'll let the video & the photos do the talking..






Congratulations son for another milestone in your journey.

Tanah ni belum diusahakan lagi, tengok lah semua pokok berduri, memang mencabar jalan dalam hutan yang berkeadaan macam ni.

Apa-apapun jum layan gambar duri-duri kehidupan...
