Melu Habong Ika' ~Mengutip Serpihan Kenangan~ Part 2



Post kali ini merupakan kesinambungan post yang sebelum ini..

Before I go on, firstly, i would like to thank Brother Zebedee Zech (My kampung mate Rumah Juman) for allowing me to share his photo here. Well, those photo are very memorable one to me. I have our longhouse photo but not the sarounding area after we left, so since Bedee have it, so i tumpang lah. Thank you for 'landing' me the pictures ok, Bedee!


Well like i've shared before, my olden days are full of colours. There is hard times and aswell happy-happy or girang-girang times, but after all it is a very good 'teacher' to me personally. There is non compare to real life experiences. I'm glad because i came from kampung/ulu where i really could experiences life which i cannot enjoy or see right now. Example?? Well, the great and beautiful scenery of the nature? Great places for picnic..? The places which is rich with its natural sources to find foods, find timbers to build house, to get timber to make sampan, to find rotans to make tikar/mat - you name it....? That is life in the ulu . The natural resources is belong to anyone according to the kampung's teritorry. The kampung people could do farming serajin-rajin yang mampu.. if you rajin enough, your ladang will be bigger, you plant alot of fruit trees, lada's, koko's, padis' and etc. If you hungry, you just need to go in the jungle to hunt for foods, be it vegetables, to cacth fishes or to hunting wild boar. Only one key point is – You will never get hungry if you rajin enough to find food lah. That’s what my father always told me.




Now this is our rumah panjang punya pangkalan…full of stone kan???? Unlike the pangkalan of some kampongs, where only mud welcome the villagers or visitors. Our pangkalan ain’t like that, this is what we have. I still remember, there is times when Information officers come to the longhouse untuk buat ‘Wayang Pacak’. If that time is dry season, they will picnicking at the pangkalan, fishing at the river and sleep at their long boat, even though our Ketua Kampung already prepared place for them to sleep. Why? Because they want to enjoy the karangan, make camp fire, bbq and stay awake all night long. Amazing, kan?!!! That’s the life along this river bank, before.


Did you notice the pokok ara on the left?? Pokok ara ni terletak di bahagian hulu pangkalan tadi. . Notice there is a boat there? By the way, if you go futher up from the river bank, there is our school. Not far from that pokok ara is the big Stone where we always play games ‘tolaking’ each other, like I’ve mention in my entry before. That pokok ara is where we always get the ‘Buah Ara’ and eat it with our sambal garam+chilli..…Very the pedas you know….Garam secubit je, the chillis menggunung..! Guess what? We will panjat(climb) the pokok ara, and get the young fruits, jump down and eat it with our sambal under the tree. After that because kepedasan we will rrruuuuun and gedeguuuuummm!! We will jump into the river and drink the water aswell. You must know, before, during dry season, the water of the river is very clear and you will not hesitate to drink the water…right?



Now back to our childhood times.. here is the Bato’ Aya’ Behudik Jenawa (Big stone upper pangkalan) where me and my friends always playing games ‘ tolaking’ each other during the tide/air pasang. The current during that time is strong, and that is the best time aswell because we can swim around the Big Stone. The river level must up to your waist then only is the best time to tolak each other from this Big Stone. The rule are simple, siapa jatuh sungai, dia kalah… hahahahhaahahahah



You know, this is our pangkalan di sebelah hilir….terdapat longgokan kayu. Here we used to cari kayu api. This kayu api we called it ‘kayo’ asa’. During dry season, a lot of kayo’ asa will be found here. Why not, it has been exposed to the shusine and dry itself at the karangan. When the times come, it is ready to be kutip by us…. Did you notice the ‘soil’ at the river bank? And that ‘soil’ is not mud ok, it’s pasir….


Ok, could you see the big stone over the other side of the river.. we called it ‘Bato’ Dipah’ which mean ‘Batu Seberang’… During high tide, that area is very dangerous because the river will cover the surface of the stone and at the end it produces strong current… But, during dry season, the Bato’ Dipah will timbul because the water level is drop down and that is the time when we will swim across the river to get to bato’ dipah. Don’t play-play, the sungai is still dalam even though the water level is low, you know.. seram juga. I did follow other friends to swim to Bato Dipah several times and guess what? I only manage to reach Bato Dipah one time only! This is because I felt macam haunted lah pula while tried to swimm cross the Balui River to get to the Bato' Dipah....Though the water is clear but I still rasa seram-seram...! That one time when i managed to reach Bato' Dipah with my geng keras frens, we can see macam ada tangga lah pula menuruni batu tu ke dalam sungai…Truly! Ada cerita legenda sebenarnya Bato’ Dipah ni.. Ia berkaitan dengan ‘Uma Apun.’ If there is time I will write about the legend story in my next entry..(tak janji nih..)



Ok, you see the pondok buruk ni? If there is manusia tinggal di sini, believe me, this pondok will never look like this. Ini kerana we are forced to leave this place and has never abandon it for purpose. See, the hut is still in good condition even after more than 10 years it has been left alone.. This pondok we called it ‘Lepo Kelarah’ or pondok rehat. The villagers or visitors will take rest at this hut after their long journey from pangkalan. For older people, they will stop for awhile before continue their journey home. Jarak pangkalan dari rumah panjang boleh tahan jauh juge…naik level 1 baru pondok rehat..naik lagi level 2 baru lah rumah panjang. That’s why our long house never have problem kena banjir…..



Ini merupakan tapak rumah KetuaKampung.


Ok, this is our longhouse. Only the structure is still strong standing together with pillars, some of the wall left and the important parts of the house… All are made from Kayu Belian… see the quality..? That’s why its still standing until now. Ini pun ada yang orang lain ambik. Kalau tak rumah ni masih elok dan boleh di diami, well didiami oleh hantu lah kot..!



Rumah panjang kami ada dua blok; blok rumah panjang kayu dan blok rumah panjang simen. Ini blok rumah panjang simen..kata Bedee, simennya masih ada. Rumput yang tumbuh tu pun tumbuh atas tanah atas simen rumah. Rumah kami berada di blok kayu. Bedee kata takda lagi dah situ, semua kayu dah kena ambik, samada oleh pemilik rumah atau pun orang lain.


Ini dia rangka rumah yang masih tinggal..

Ini merupakan pemandangan kampung Rumah Juman lama di Belaga dari Sungai Balui. Memang jauh kan kampung kami dari tebingan sungai? Did you notice the ‘Lepo Kelarah’/Pondok Rehat? Thats only the Level 1. You need to climb level 2 in order to get to our rumah panjang. Safe.....we never face flash flood problem.


Nampak gayanya, tiada apa-apa yang berubah disekitar kampung ku ini, seolah-olah menantikan kepulangan kami kembali. Semua tetap sama, seperti sewaktu ia ditinggalkan dulu, tiada yang berganjak atau berubah wajah..... kecualilah rumah panjang yang telah dirobohkan serta rumput dan kayu yang tumbuh menggantikan tempat rumah panjang ini berdiri megah dulu.. Inilah asal usulku...kini hanya tinggal dalam lipatan sejarah. Kau akan tetap dikenang walaupun usia dimamah masa. Kau akan kekal dalam ingatan, walau kemana kaki melangkah, hingga hayat dikandung tanah....

Bintang Irama Malaysia terbitan RTM pikat pelbagai kaum, kualiti peserta bukan Melayu meningkat

KEJAYAAN penganjuran kali kedua Pertandingan Akhir Bintang Irama Malaysia bukan sekadar melahir bakat baru dalam bidang seni, malah menarik pelbagai kaum untuk menyertainya.
Pertandingan anjuran Jabatan Kebudayaan dan Kesenian Negara (JKKN), Kementerian Perpaduan, Kebudayaan, Kesenian dan Warisan Malaysia (KPKKW) dengan kerjasama RTM menjadi satu-satunya program yang dapat menyatukan semua kaum di negara ini mengangkat irama Malaysia sebagai taruhan.

Sebanyak 11 peserta akhir yang terdiri daripada Melayu, Cina, India dan Iban berjaya menjadi peserta akhir daripada 800 peserta yang diuji bakat yang dijalankan bermula Mei lalu.
Daripada jumlah itu, 200 adalah peserta bukan Melayu yang hadir untuk sesi uji bakat. Ini menunjukkan penganjuran Bintang Irama Malaysia mendapat perhatian masyarakat seluruh negara.
Malam Sabtu lalu berlangsungnya pertandingan akhir yang diadakan di Auditorium Perdana Angkasapuri yang dipenuhi dengan penyokong peserta akhir.

Mohd Akhiri bersama hadiah masing-masing.
Menurut Nurain penuntut tingkatan empat Maktab Sabah ini, kejayaan yang diperoleh memeranjatkan dirinya yang tidak pernah menyangka akan kemenangan itu.
“Apa yang saya lakukan pada persembahan akhir ini adalah cuba buat yang terbaik dan berserah kepada rezeki,” katanya.
“Dengan kemenangan ini saya belum tahu lagi untuk membuat apa dan tidak sabar untuk berkongsi kegembiraan ini dengan keluarga di Sabah,” katanya yang menerima wang tunai RM10,000, piala pusingan dan iringan serta sijil.

Tempat kedua dimenangi Norfazlina Awang (Negeri Sembilan) termasuk kategori Vokal Terbaik yang membawa pulang wang tunai RM8,000 dan RM2,000, dua piala dan sijil.

Masing-masing menerima RM3,000, piala dan sijil penyertaan. Manakala semua peserta yang tidak berjaya membawa pulang wang tunai RM1,000, piala dan sijil penyertaan.
“Pada mulanya saya bimbang kerana tidak pernah tahu mengenai pertandingan ini lebih-lebih lagi terpaksa membawa lagu berentak irama Malaysia yang saya tidak pernah tahu lenggoknya.

“Namun saya memberanikan diri untuk menyertai pertandingan ini dan menyahut apa saja cabaran yang mendatang. Dengan kejayaan ini menjadi penguat semangat saya untuk terus berada dalam bidang ini dan sekiranya rezeki berpihak, saya ingin menjadi seperti Datuk DJ Dave,” katanya.

Rose..for you

To n-ty Rose (nama gurauan manja nya ialah n-ty Rose Kepak..), my FB frens. Though i never see you in person, but i felt that you have a sincere and beautiful heart..
This song is dedicated to you.


Hope this song will encourage you or maybe to make you smile atleast, to face the days to come.







Engkau Bapa yang mengasihiku
Tak Kau pandang bentuk dan rupaku
Engkau mengasihiku dengan sepenuh hati
Tak pernah sama seperti dunia ini

Engkau Bapa yang mengajariku
Melewati badai langit biru
Kau yang buatku terbang, bagaikan rajawali
Mengatasi segala pencobaan

Reff :
Kau Bapaku yang baik
Mengerti bahasa tetesan air mata
Tak Kau biarkan ku berjalan sendirian
S'bab Kau Bapaku yang baik
Kau Bapaku yang baik
Mengerti bahasa tetesan air mata
Tak Kau biarkan ku berjalan sendirian
S'bab Kau Bapaku yang baik, Engkau sungguh baik

-Lulu

Love this song... only i want to say here is; this Living God can be adore or worship in any languages or wherever. The only matters and most important is the purity of our own HEART when it come to seek His face... It's a real serious BIZNEZZ, emm..
