Look! It’s a plane! No! It’s a helicopter!
No! It’s just Noel.
Till this very moment, I am still thinking the reason and logic behind his action of wanting his photo taken from the tree.hrmm…I don’t think I have to think much about it because I believe he thinks that he will look cool and macho. Well, guess what? U do, bro! :P

Another panoramic view of the traditional Orang Ulu longhouse. The longhouse/village shown here in this picture is my beloved kampong Long Atip. My mom’s kampong. It has been a while since I last went there. To get there, one will have to take an express boat from Marudi then stop either at Temala’ Camp or Long Lama; then a journey through the thick jungle of Baram by 4X4 before reaching the village.
My brother was trying to shoot at an empty can using my dad’s rifle. Guess what? He does have my dad’s skills in firing a rifle..what? me? No comment.haha..well done bro. but the only problem was that he did not expect the recoil of the rifle would be so intense. He almost got thrown backward due to the recoil.
Well, that’s what made the whole family to laugh. Guess he did it intentionally huh? ;)
The picture was taken during my family picnic at Nyipa’ Anyi Waterfall some 30 minutes walking from my grandparents’ hut. To be honest, it was one of the best picnics ever! We barbecued chicken wings, fresh water fish and some pork. I wish I can do it again next time! It was fun to have such a quality time with my family member. In the picture are my brother Noel and sister Bulan with their ‘chicken pose’.. :P
Well…what can I say? The beauty of Orang Ulu ladies is undeniable! ;) No self-praising or self-boasting or whatever you want to call it but that’s the fact! ;D The lovely lady in the picture is my sister Bulan. This picture was taken by me at the small stream in front of my grandparents’ hut at Tejo’, called the Belingan River.
A visit we made during the 2008 Christmas.
The lovely place in the picture is my grandparents’ orchard and hut. It is located at Tejo’ in the interior part of Baram. This is the place where my grandpa and grandma used to plant the hill paddy and also various kinds of local fruits such as Durian, Jackfruit and Rambutan. A few meters at the back of the hut is a small river/stream called the Tejo’ river and another river/stream in front of the hut is the Belingan River.
This lovely picture was taken by me during the 2008 Christmas celebration at my village Long Pillah. At the right side of the photo is my beloved grandmother while on the left side is my…well….my grandma as well (everyone at the same age of my grandparents are my grandparents too) ;) They are wearing the Orang Ulu lady traditional attire called the ta’ah.
My brother Noel Along playing the traditional musical instrument called the Sape' during a wedding at the SIB Marudi church. He has been learning and playing Sape' for more than a year now and frankly speaking he is a Master! Just imagine! Mastering such a complex art at such a young age! Even some of the professional Sape' players have praised his skills. His dream is to go to oversea and show his talents in playing the Sape'.
Salute for bro Noel!

To the far left is my uncle and to the far right is my aunt. In the middle are my grandpa and grandma..Those two infront are of course none other than my sister and brother. As you can see, all the crafts held by my sister and brother are of my father's making. As for the headgears and the traditional jackets, they are made by my mother.
