Sabah Negeri Di Bawah Bayu

Trip : Kota Kinabalu - Keningau - Ranau - Kundasang - Kota Kinabalu

From Kota Kinabalu Airport to Keningau via Kimanis - Keningau highway 

Jalan Misteri / Mystery Road (Source : Anak Teruna)  - One interesting feature of this highway is the presence of a gravity hill induced by optical illusion, located 11 kilometres (6.8 miles) from Keningau. It is reported that at the gravity hill, there is a slope which appears as a downhill slope, but in reality it is actually an uphill slope. (Source : Wikipedia)

Sabah Handicraft Centre in Keningau officiated by Dato Seri Najib in June 2012.

Nara...akhirnya sampai jua

Dari Pengkalan Kubor, Kelantan menyeberangi  ke Tak Bai dengan feri, tambang 60 sen, tak sampai pun 5 minit perjalanan menyeberangi sungai. Nasib baik ada dua feri beroperasi. Kekadang cuma satu feri sahaja yang menyebabkan terpaksa menunggu berjam-jam lama. Pilihan lain boleh juga menaiki bot kecil yang memuatkan 8-10 orang.  Dari Tak Bai ke Narathiwat perjalanan hampir 45 minit menaiki kenderaan.  Sepanjang jalan terdapat 4 -5 pos pemeriksaan tentera sehingga sampai ke destinasi yang dituju.

 

Kastam di Tak Bai tempat pemeriksaan pasport (gambar kiri); kenderaan ke Nara (gambar kanan)

Pemandangan biasa di bandar Nara, bekas letupan bom di sana sini.  Bangunan bekas letupan dibaikpulih semula.

Menu pagi tidak jauh bezanya dengan Kelantan. nasi kerabu, nasi dagang, nasi lemak, bubur nasi, aneka jenis pulut manis dan bermacam jenis kuih-muih.  Sebungkus nasi RM2 - RM3.

Suatu petang, bersantai di tepi pantai Nara sambil menikmati som tam dan lain-lain yang sejenis dengannya.. dimakan dengan pulut tanak.

Makan malam bersama keluarga besar Hj.Wan di Restoran Nasir.  Hidangan buffet masakan Thai seperti laksa dengan pilihan kuah hijau, merah, nasi, mee, kerabu, grill menggunakan arang, macam-macam jenis manis (pencuci mulut), hanya RM12.90 untuk seorang

Nasi belacan bersama ulam, ayam manis dan telur;
jambo kesukaan dan pilihan tetap makan malam Aisya;
pisang dan keledek bakar dengan kuah santan..aroma asap, manis pisang/keledek dan lemak santan bersatu menjadi rasa yang...yummmy..

Nadia yang keletah... Budi yang pemalu... dan cole Pakcik Kob...

Cole ialah ruang sambungan pada motosikal supaya boleh dinaiki lebih ramai penumpang atau untuk membawa barang, digunakan penduduk setempat untuk jarak dekat.  Kenderaan awam ialah kereta atau motor tambang.

Kalau nak tunggu tanah Narathiwat akan bebas dari serangan pengganas, mungkin aku tak sampai lagi ke sini.  Pergolakan yang sudah sekian lama, serangan senyap pengganas yang tidak mengenal tempat dan sasaran.. penduduk setempat semacam sudah biasa, kalih dengan bunyi letupan bom...jika silap kebetulan, silap masa dan silap tempat sesiapa saja boleh menjadi mangsa.

Masa di sini, sejam awal dari Malaysia. Penduduk Melayu masih boleh bertutur bahasa Melayu dengan loghat Kelantan.  Seorang menantu Tok Wan dari kawasan Bangkok sudah tidak pandai bertutur bahasa Melayu.  Semestinyalah bahasa kebangsaan Thai yang menyatukan dan perantaraan mereka.

Antara beberapa loghat perkataan yang hinggap ditelingaku yang jarang atau mungkin tidak lagi digunapakai di Kelantan - suka cerat  (suka sangat); mughih (marah); poyo (siapa dia)

...Terimakasih atas semua kenangan...budi yang baik tersimpan dihati.. setulus doa semoga Ayie akan cepat sembuh dan dapat menjalani kehidupan harian seperti biasa...

TOP 20 MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES ON EARTH!

Japan : Afnan in Action (27 Mac 2001)

Tokyo Tower

Tokyo Tower's Trick Art Gallery is located on the building's forth and final floor. This gallery displays optical illusions, including paintings and objects that visitors can interact with.

(Viewing from observation deck)

333m height of the Tower. Since its opening in 1958, the Tokyo Tower has been the world's tallest self-supporting steel tower (year 2001). The Eiffel Tower in Paris is 320 m high. However today, Tokyo Tower ranks 24th on the List of tallest in the world - Wikipedia, the tallest tower (entirely self-supported), Tokyo Skytree, almost double the height of Tokyo Tower.

60 plus?

There are 1000-year old trees in the mountain, but not many 100 year-old people…………

At the most, you live until 100 years old (only 1 in 100,000).

If you live until 90, you only have 30 years.

If you live until 80, you only have 20 years.

Because you don’t have many years to live, and you can’t take along things when you go, you don’t have to be too thrifty.

Spend the money that should be spent, enjoy what should be enjoyed, donate what you are able to donate, but don’t leave all to your children or grandchildren, for you don’t want them to become parasites.

Don’t worry about what will happen after you are gone, because when you return to dust, you will feel nothing about praises or criticisms.

Don’t worry too much about your children for children will have their own destiny and find their own way. Don’t be your children’s slave.

Don’t expect too much from your children. Caring children, though caring, would be too busy with their jobs and commitments to render any help.

Uncaring children may fight over your assets even when you are still alive, and wish for your early demise so they can inherit your properties.

Your children take for granted that they are rightful heirs to your wealth; but you have no claims to their money.

60-year olds like you, don’t trade in your health for wealth anymore; Because your money may not be able to buy your health

When to stop making money, and how much is enough (hundred thousand, million, ten million)?

Out of thousand hectares of good farm land, you can only consume three quarts (of rice) daily; out of a thousand of mansions, you only need eight square meters of space to rest at night.

So as long as you have enough food and enough money to spend, that is good enough.

So you should live happily. Every family has its own problems.

Just do not compare with others for fame and social status and see whose children are doing better, etc. but challenge others for happiness, health and longevity……

Don’t worry about things that you can’t change because it doesn’t help and it may spoil your health.

You have to create your own well-being and find your own happiness; As long as you are in good mood, think about happy things, do happy things daily and have fun in doing, then you will pass your time happily every day.

One day passes, you will lose one day; One day passes with happiness, and then you gain one day.

In good spirit, sickness will cure; in happy spirit, sickness will cure fast; in good and happy spirit; sickness will never come.

With good mood, suitable amount of exercise, always in the sun, variety of foods, reasonable amount of vitamin and mineral intake, hopefully you will live another 20 or 30 years of healthy life.

Above all learn to cherish the GOODNESS around …… and FRIENDS… …..all friends make you feel young and "wanted"…without them you are surely to feel lost!!
 

Wishing you all the best.

(Please share this with all your friends who are 60 plus and those who will be 60 plus some time soon)

Think! before you break it...

Seize that moment...
