A Dream Truck

Do you realize the similarities of the trucks? Cool Trucks, Ha! Low rider and extremely hot on the road. Everybody would dream of owning it. 

The problem here is that it will not be practical in most parts of Borneo. It will be usable in the cities and major towns but not the semi-urban and the rurals. Why bother having such trucks if you can't enjoy driving it? The road will not permit it. Not for the off-road purposes and unfortunately most of the roads here.

Those of you dreaming of such trucks; you ought to think twice. Maybe you should consider this ‘Beast’.

A Bike by Borneo Chopper

 

 

Those are two downloaded images of Harley Bikes from the net. We the Bornean can only afford to appreciate the downloaded images as we can’t afford to buy it. Not if we’re the sons of the 'Menteri' and business tycoons here. Such bikes would cost us a fortune and our whole life savings.

Hence, we have the alternative of converting our own version of chopper aka the ‘Modenas Jaguh’. After major modification, the 175cc would turn to something like this.

All you need is some wild imagination and creativity to create something like that. The expenses won’t take much as most of the parts are available in the local garage. The Bornean do have the talent in ‘Pimping the Ride’. We do not need the MTV to help us.

Finally Cure for AIDS

The gecko which inhibited the rocky mountain in most parts of Borneo is believed to be able to cure AIDS. Hence, the price of the Gecko has reached millions of ringgit in the global market. Then again, it's depend on the size of the reptile. The tongue of the reptile is believed to have the medicinal benefit in curing AIDS.

According to an anonymous source, the farmers and fishermen of some parts of Borneo who are living at the nearby rocky mountains have stopped going to the farm and sea in order to spend more time in hunting for the Gecko. Some of them have made it rich, while others are still inspired to become the next millionaire. Hence, for the rest of other Borneans who are living at the nearby rocky mountain; they too should try their luck in hunting for the reptile.

As a result of the ‘geckoes rush’, most of the geckoes are believed to be running wild for their life. None of them will be spared, not the old nor the young ones. Some of them even consider migrating out from the country to a much safer place. Pity them. Then again, the Bornean also have desire to achieve the 'Bornean's Dream'.

Attitudes

The boys are the smallest and cutest in class. Both are in the same class. They are bit timid and very obedient to their teachers. Hence, they have become the teachers' pets. They even have ‘Sifu’ called Mr. Fred who promised to protect them from the thugs.

Nobody would be fond of a character like this; being heavily tattooed, body pierced, with Mohican hairstyle and bad smoking and drinking habits. So, be aware kids- choose the right characters in order to be likened by others.

The Fast'sea'food in Kuching

The seafood's restaurant is located at King's Commercial Centre along Jalan Simpang Tiga, few blocks from the roadside. If you're lucky you might see free shows of cars skidded from the overhead freeway.


The name of the restaurant is Ling Loong Seafood.

A gigantic menu is displayed on the wall. Don’t bother to request for the booklet's menu. A typical restaurant here does not have it. You might be cursed by the waitress for making ridiculous request.

The food arrived almost as immediately as the drinks were served. I don't know how they managed to do that. As if they are serving the instant-ready to cook packed foods. Extremely fast, even faster than Jamie Oliver’s 30-minutes cooking. However, the taste of the foods are undeniably good.

This first delight is called 'Midin Masak Belacan' which is Midin (Wild Fern) fried with chopped garlic, dried shrimps, chilies and a bit of dried shrimp paste or ‘Belacan’.

Then we have prawns cooked with 'Nestum' wheat cereals and butter. The taste is extremely aromatic and crispy. Then again, I do not think that the prawns are fresh, not if we are eating at the restaurant by the beach.

The soup is called Sea Cucumber soup. It is a thick sourly soup, which consists of chopped sea cucumber boiled with the yellow egg's yolks. The taste is excellent. I think it is better than any other similar soups that I had tasted before.

Finally, fresh crabs cooked with preserved salted eggs and butter. Really aromatic, fresh and yummy.

There you are! Just to prove that the foods were extremely yummy.

In conclusion, the restaurant would be highly recommended for a small time employee who is in hurry and wished to bribe their employer for next year promotion. Furthermore, the prices will not break their skinny wallet.

The Best Ever Camping Trips

DAY 1:

The registration starts in the afternoon as to enable the camping instructors to brief the participants on the following programs. Most of them look excited, while others scared to death of not knowing what to expect during the camping.

The youth are expected to build their tents before getting dark. The girls are lucky as they are using the readymade tents. It took them less than an hour to install it. They have ample time to go shopping at the nearby ‘Ming Ming Super Mall’.

The instructor of each group is still thinking of where to start. Should they bother themselves building the tent or simply sneak to the building next door when nobody is watching.

Most of the hard works are done by the boys. That’s why nowadays most boys would rather be girls. Life would be whole lots easier for them. However, in the end it is expected that the hardworking boys will end up being self reliable individuals as they are used to do things on their own.

Finally, the tents managed to be built on time with guidance and curses from the instructors.

DAY 2:

The instructor trains the youths on navigation and various techniques in knotting the ropes. Hence, they are expected to be able to navigate their way out if they ever lost in the jungle and making traps to catch the wild animals.

The second group members are waiting for their turn to do the 'flying fox', which is the favorite of all.

Most of them managed to do well with guidance of qualified and experienced instructors. The ropes are tied from a three storeys building to a SUV. Hence, the task is limited to those below 100kg. They scared that the SUV might not be able to stand the weight of the obesed participants. So, people do take care of your diet in order to enjoy the best things in life.

Then, the next task is the 'abseiling'. It is the most thrilling task of all.

One of the participants has mixed feeling of excitement and fear in his first attempt.

The third group is trained on 'CPR' or 'Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation' techniques as part of the Life Saving’s component.

They are instructed by an extremely passionate instructor.

The instructors are awarded with token of appreciation for their excellent instructions. The kids loved them. The adults are also impressed.

For the 'flying fox' and 'abseiling' instructors too.

Then, lunch break for everybody.

After an hour rest that afternoon, the youths are evaluated on their survival skills. They are expected to cook whatever they are given, with whatever means that they could think of by utilizing the nature around them.

They are preparing their kitchen utensils. Pretty creative! They utilized the bamboos as their cooking utensils.

While entertained by a mysterious musician.

The foods are served. They look more luxurious than the one served by Martin Yan. Not bad for most of the first timer.

Then the tele-match among the opponent groups. Sort of 'bowling' on an uneven surfaces with coconut as the ball and half filled bottles as the pins.

At night, we have talent night show judged by mostly ladies' instructors. Men are too masculine to judge cultural show. Maybe next year, we have ‘kick boxing’ competition. It would be wilder.

Among the performances that night. Some are extremely good and deserved to be nominated for this year ‘Grammy Awards’.

DAY 3:

The marching competition is held early in the morning to avoid the hot shiny day. After all the girls need to take care of the skin. I suggest next time they apply 'sk-11's lotion' before the competition.

Then, the closing ceremony and followed by the announcement of winners for every competition.

The winner of every competition is represented by the group's leader in receiving the prizes.

One of the instructors in charge of the ‘Audio System’ is seen waiting patiently with his daughter at the back stage.

The camping program is officially ended in the afternoon. Everybody is so eager to pack up their belongings and go home.

The youth are expected to clear the camping site before going back. The clearing of the site is way faster than expected. Everybody disappeared within short period of time. I guess they missed their bed dearly.
