Part Of Me..

Last month Indai and i were on a short trip to Ng Pelagus.It has been more that 20 years since my last visit(ngetas ulit inek uban)to the rumah panjai.A mixed feeling because im not too sure whether a city boy like me will survive in a not so condusive environment at the long house.How do we get there?
we boarded the plane on time which took us only 45 minutes from Kuching to Sibu.Arrived Sibu and we off to the longboat terminal.Mum and I were off on the 12.45pm boat straight to Kapit.
I still remember, 20 years back it took us forever to arrive in kapit tapi macam sekejap pula this time (3 hours only).Along the journey i was so fascinated with the beautiful view and not to forget the yellowed color batang rejang river which we use to bath, swim and God knows what else we use it for.. when at the long house.

We arrived kapit at half-past three..


A long boat express terminal, kapit

Mum and I decided to stay overnight in Kapit as it will be another 2 hours from kapit to Rumah Mujah, Ng Pelagus.In kapit, all the basic needs is available except for MCD's,pizzahut ohhwell i guess i will have to survive with mee rangkai this time.
The next morning we took another boat to rumah panjai.As there's is boat going straight to belaga and to the other remote area we have to make it clear that we take the right boat


I dont know where this boat is heading to,the boat's name sound so familiar kan Allan.....

After 2 hours on the express boat we finally arrived.And it's very quiet....


and it's green...........


my first thought...i want to go home and be at tHe Spring. I went behind and i saw jungle...

and i want to go home and be at tHe Spring...

It was not long when i was called to my cousin house and he we had a bbq(yahooo real fresh meat from the jungle i was said...an turn out to be fish,very fresh, from the river straight to the fire


the trip wasnt that bad at all, i was drunk almost everynight or did i purposely make myself drunk just to forget about the bugs, mosquitoes and God knows what else is there at the longhouse.











I guess i will be back soon to the long house..in the next 20 years time maybe....
