Updates! Updates! Read all about it!!!

Its been a while since I went back to my birthplace (Tambunan, Sabah). The last time was Christmas time I think..
28/02/2009
Mom was driving. I was sitting at the back with my nephew Ian, sleeping.

It was raining Dragons and Phoenixs (Enhanced version of Cats and Dogs) on the way to Tambunan. Mom ran over a puddle of water which then splashed onto a little girl running frantically in the rain. Pity girl. Mom only said "Siou.. nda sengaja". (After all this while babbling about driving slowly *pfftt!*)
On the way up, we wondered why there were so many police cars coming down heading to KK. And at one sharp corner of the road, lies a battered vehicle. an eary site to see, ready to be towed away. (It turns out that a couple with their 3 year old child from Tuaran died in that car crash. They were on their way back from Tenom for a wedding. The baby stroller was still lying on the road when we were on our way back frm Tambunan.Sad. God bLess their souls)
Thick fog was causing visibility limitation. I wasnt able to see anything coming from the front at any distant of 0-50m. I bet mom was having more trouble (four eyes that she is)
Upon arriving in Tambunan, we stopped a bit at Sunsuron to buy some vegetables for DINNER!!! Ian woke up with a cheerful face and said " Wah! Magic oso Odu? Capat oso sampai?!" In whatever language he was trying to converse in. I just smiled. :) I took some pictures of the Tuhau

and the Bosou being displayed there. SLURPS!

We did not go straight to grandma's but we went to Kg.Rompon (on the way to Keningau Town) instead. You wanna know why?To get Sinalau do BAKAS!!!! . (Smoked Wildboar meat)Hahaha... I have been dreaming to eat it since forever. Another slurp!! SLURPS!

I bought 3 boxes of ready to eat Nangka (jackfruit, and guess what the old lady who was selling those said to me? "Ini bukan Durian". I was like, "what*&^%$#@!????!!!!" Macam sa nda tau beza nangka sama durian sja! . I'm a kampung boy abuuu..I know.. Anyway... I kinda found it funny. hihihihi :D

After that we went to Grandma's place. On the way we saw some "horses waiting for the bus"

Much to our surprise "food" was lying everywhere in Tambunan. LOL

She was there to greet us. Sitting proudly infront of her canteen. Glad to see her smiling at us. She didnt look that ill with a smile on her face. Mom cooked. And guess what we had for dinner. Sup Bakas w Tonsomon, Bakas masak kicap, Sayur Bunga w Bakas and Ikan Masin(odd one?)Hahaha. Watched Tv, Chat a bit with Uncle David and his family. And then we went to bed coz grandma as always was like "Odop tokou noh... Au koposik moi sambayang suab" which means " Lets go to sleep. We have to wake up early for church" :) ... I'm gonna miss her saying that....

Woke up at 7.31am for the first time in my life after high school by the loud and screeching voice of my nephew Ian "Uncle yEyE!!!! Wake up Odu Sayyyyyy!!! Wan go chus!!" Oh my ghost!! A part of me love him and a part of me want to strangle him to death... HAHAHA!! okay.. So I woke up.. took shower and then we went to Church. After church we went to Tambunan Golf Club for brunch. And then we went back to my grandma's place. I had a nap woke up and My mom signaled the departure. Said our goodbyes and off we went. On the way mom stopped for some vegetables and bambangan. I took a picture of wild berries locally known as Gurimot.

Its red in color have a hollow texture. SUPER SOUR in taste. Anyway... check out the pictures.. :) . Now im back in Tuaran posting the bLog. haha.. tiL my next post. See you!! :)
