Thank You Ah Boo & Evelyn

( Extreme Left Jennifer, Evelyn, Kho @ Ah Boo, Chaong Sandang & Evelyn's brother)

24 Apr: A normal working day for us, though MFSB is closed over the week end.

At 10:30am, our son Jared, Lady Jenn & I drove all the way from Kota Samarahan to Ellis Road to deliver this Proton Saga SE, belonging to Mr.Kho CB & his wife,
Evelyn AD.

This is their 2nd unit from the same Salesperson, and that’s yours truly!

Mr.Chaong Sandang, MD’s Head of Service was on hand to assist us all the way, until the car was delivered to this loving couple. Kho@ Ah Boo is from KG but Evelyn is from Sri Aman.

They waited nearly a month for this unit to arrive. We finally got it from MD Motors after our earlier effort proved futile!

Of course after everything is accounted for, it won’t be complete without a hearty meal after a hard day’s work. Naturally, the person who treated us was this happy couple.

We had Beef Noodle at Lam’s Café, somewhere at Chong Lin Park, Simpang Tiga, its popular for its Beef Noodle.

We finally parted company after 11:30am.

Thank You to the Staff at MD Motors for helping us with the necessary arrangement especially on a Saturday, and of course to our loyal customers and now amongst our closest friends Mr.Kho & wife for choosing us over others.

We hope everyone is satisfied with the service rendered.

In search of Sponsorship .....

(Catherine sending out faxes to various Companies & Organisations)

Sarawak Dayak National Union or SDNU will be organising a Gawai cum Dinner this coming 15th of May.

Being a part of the Organising Committees, I was only doing my part to secure sponsorship.

The Highlight of the evening is the Kumang Gawai 2010.

Tables are on sale now at RM500, RM400 & RM350.

We're anticipating a large crowd that night and the spaces are very limited. The Venue chosen to hold the event is the Christian Ecumenical Worship Center, 2 1/2 Mile Jalan Stampin. The time is 6:30pm.

We have extended an invitation to our brothers & sisters from Kalimantan Barat, Brunei and Sabah.

There will also be a mixed Cultural performances from our invited guests.

See you there, folks!


Home-made Incubator


My brother Benjamin created it. It has yielded result and naturally we are glad it worked!

It's a tedious process and takes a lot of patience to see the results before your very eyes.

And finally, we have it. Our very own breed. (cross-breed)

Blogging from Normah Medical Specialist Centre

(The Author & his mummy)

My mum was admitted for the 2nd time this month. She was warded
for 3 nights last week.

Today, is her 4th night here. My daughter, Stephanie AKA anakdaraMF spent 3 nights and tonight is LadyJenn's turn.

Hopefully, she can get her discharge order by tomorrow.

Please continue to pray for her well-being.

We should have another unit Saga SE on the road by tomorrow? It depends on the E-Hak Milik.


(The Clan were always here during the duration of her stay in Normah MC, Petra Jaya)


Week End Outing: We drove to Penunus, Debak on Sunday morning after 7am. Dr.Dusit and wife made the journey being their first visit to the longhouse.

I must apologise for not taking any pictures, and those taken by our uncle were mostly blurry!

We arrived in Kuching after 10:40pm, its about 3 hours 30 minutes' drive because of the light traffic.

13 April: "Happy Birthday" to Ms.Catherine Dass

(Specially ordered from Taka Cake House, one of the leading bakeries in town)

13 April: We're so glad our mum could make it last night. She was warded at the Normah Medical Centre, Petra Jaya for 3 nights last week.

Our dad was also there, I can see that he really enjoyed his "big sepit ketam" (crab) last night along with other dishes. It was gone in a matter of a few seconds!

Cath & Iyak booked L & L Seafood, located in Pending Seafood Centre. This Outlet is usually pulling in the crowd, like Teck Seng Seafood (located at the farthest end) in their hey days back in the late 80s, early 90s when there were few Seafood outlets unlike today!

I really enjoyed the deep fried Mancung fish with fried garlic & sprinkled with black pepper. I almost ate the entire fish! Earlier, we ordered a deep fried Garouper Thai-styled. It was crispy to the bone!

This time around we ordered no meat, an all seafood affair.

For your information, Catherine is one of Merekah Fajar Sdn.Bhd's Directors. However, at the present moment she is still attached to Utama Motors.

A loyal servant for the last 22 or so years!

Konsert Lagu Iban Tebilang & another story

(The Concert in full swing)

10 April 2010: I didn't get to go but my family headed by LadyJenn did! It was a night with plenty of entertainment provided by our local Iban artistes with the Maya Band providing the music.

The show started rather late after 8pm and finished after 11pm.

The singers that night Ricky El, Linda, DJ Sima & hosts of others.

The concert was jointly organised by SADIA (Sarawak Dayak Iban Association) & RadioKitai.Com

( The turned turtle Proton Iswara Aeroback at the junction to UiTM, that Saturday night)

We were on our way home to Kota Samarahan last Saturday night around 11:45pm when we came across this self-accident at the junction leading to UiTM.

I presume no one was hurt but the vehicle was badly dented with the roof carving in.

The driver must have lost control of it when trying to negotiate a turn.

A stunt driver in the making, I say!

SDNU's Gawai Dayak Organising Committees formed! Plus the Kota Samarahan's Jam ...

Today is Sarawak Dayak National Union (SDNU) Gawai Commitees’ 2nd Meeting! This year’s celebration is headed by Dr. Dusit as Chairman and I was appointed as his Vice-Chairman for the Event of the Year.

We finished today’s meeting well after 9pm and our brother, Anthony Banyan AKA Apai Enduq graciously offered to treat us to some fried noodles and beer at a coffee shop nearby the SDNU’s Office at Queen Court, Simpang Tiga!

Actually, they were quite a number of us in the Gawai Committee but the rest was too tired to join us for some drinks.

The date set for the Event is 15th of May and the Dinner Tickets are on sale now starting with a table for sale from RM350 to RM500.

The chosen center for the Event is the Christian Ecumenical Center, Iris Garden 2 1/2 Mile.

All in all we are targeting to sell about 100 tables.

The “highlights” of the evening will be the crowning of Kumang Gawai 2010!
There is a revision of cash prizes during this meeting and there are handsome trophies to be won.

It should be very enticing to the young ladies out there to give it a try. C’mon lass, show us how an Iban maiden should look like.

Please use our traditional costumes & those ornamental pieces when joining the competition.

I suggest to those interested in taking part to contact our SDNU Headquarters for more details or you can also contact me if you need my assistance.

To those that are unable to join us, you can watch it entirely on a DVD disc. I don’t know how much per disc, but I think it won’t be more than RM25 at the most?

So folks, hurry up and don’t waste your time because once the Dinner Tickets is sold out, there is nothing much we can do because the space to put up more tables and chairs are so limited.

I’ll share more information about this coming Event when I get my hand on more news about it.

I hope this is informative enough for now.





Below are some of the pictures of the Kota Samarahan's heavy traffic especially the Friday rush to reach home.







It’s usually like this scene when on a Friday evening along the Kota Samarahan’s outer ring road.

The traffic slows down when motorists from Kuching head home to their respective areas.

Some go back to Asajaya and others as far away as Sadong Jaya either using a ferry service or by road passing through the UiTM but a bit further because you have to go the other way round to get to this destination.

Hopefully, once the newly constructed roads are ready, we won’t see anymore jam around here.

If not for the jam, it’s only a 40 minutes’ drive to Kuching City area, and 20 minutes to BDC Housing estate.

It’s a dual carriage way so it will be smooth driving going back home from work.

This is our 5th year staying in Kota Samarahan and I can say the division is steadily and rapidly progressing!

What's this? A "Circus Act" or is it a Police Tattoo?

( Picture taken from www.isuhangat.net)

I "borrowed" these pictures from www.isuhangat.net

When I first stepped my foot in Kota Pontianak, Kalimantan Barat back in December of 1989, these scenes surprised me.

If you're at their Bus Terminal, you may get some pretty good shots. Some may tied a motorcycle to the body of a bus, a bicycle or livestocks in cages on bus' roof.

It's amazing how they fully make use of the spaces available to them.

I don't know if this ever happened in Malaysia especially in Sarawak. What will Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (Road Transport Department) say or for that matter our Police Force on road patrol?

And how much is the Fine if caught?

Well folks, I hope y'all enjoy reading this.

Business as usual ... in April!

(Picture of Andy Wilson Aing, standing proudly besides the Saga BLM)

Finally, the waiting is over. A happy Andy Wilson Aing, posing next to his wife’s Saga B Line. Andy is a close friend who helps Stephen in this business.

And this is also their 2nd unit Proton through Merekah Fajar Sdn.Bhd, the 1st unit was a Persona, bought over a year ago.

They waited over a month for it to get here.

It’s already in the month of April and business is moving as it should be.

MFSB is into its 17th month operating from Kota Samarahan, from a Shop lot situated at Desa Ilmu Housing Estate.

We hope more people from the surrounding areas will know us though our Shop which is mostly closed in the morning. (The Shop is easily noticeable from far because of the big “Am Assurance” signboard)



(Picture shows the aftermath of the accident)

It most probably happened after 1pm due to the wet road surface somewhere at the busy 4th Mile intersection. It involved a black Perodua Viva & a Toyota van.

Earlier on, we had a slight drizzle.

It’s a head-on collision and one of them maybe trying to beat the other to the light.

Both vehicles were badly damaged. A day earlier, somewhere along the Batu Kawa road, a mini van jumped across to the opposite side of the road and crashed into a coming car. The driver of the car died on the spot, instantaneous.

Please be extra cautious when driving on the road. Be courteous & considerate.

You’re not alone out there!

A Grand Procession

April 6th: Feeling famished, we (LadyJenn) though we might as well go have some pork gruel at the Open Air Market. It was around 8:30pm when we got ourselves entangled in the procession which took more than 2 hours to complete.

So I parked our car by the side of the road and witnessed the mile-long parade with colorful costumes and galore. There were lion & dragon dances, even a giant flag on a long pole were displayed.

The “deities” were riding behind trucks, enjoying their ride …. Some of the crowd was seen offering incense as they passed by. There was plenty of light moment that night.
The kids must have enjoyed it as much as for the adult ones.

I even shook hands with the DAP (Democratic Action Party) YB Violet as she passed by us.
(I was wondering where were the other parties’ representatives that night, no BN, no SUPP or PKR were visible that night)

This event is held once a year and it attracted many participants representing associations and companies. Even the Indian community sent their Temple members and it as a delight watching their ‘different’ dressings.

I dare say it’s a mixed variety of Malaysians that night. There were Dayaks as well as Malays joining the procession.

I can’t tell where their starting point and where it all ended as we left the scene soon after the last act.

But it was truly a 1-Malaysian affair of sorts.

Hey, hey! What's this .....

( Its supposed to be a Perodua Myvi but look at how its called now?)

I was following closely behind to see what was "sticked" to the Perodua Myvi.

I found out it has changed its Original (model) name to "Passo" & a "Toyota" marque instead of a Perodua!

I kept thinking why the owner did that, is he/she not patriotic enough to display a Malaysian-made vehicle? I know it has a Japanese technology and not 100% a Malaysian Product & Produce.

We should be proud instead of confusing ourselves & others by "creating" something which is not, in this case this unit is certainly not from Toyota and most certainly NOT a Passo model!

Is this action violating our rule of Law especially involving our Land Transport Act?

What if some accident were to happen, how do you produce a report and how do the Insurance Adjuster give a recommendation to the repairer?

Do the owner starts off by peeling away the Toyota emblem then the Passo?

I would rather leave my car as it is. No modifications, maybe just a sports wheels an no over-sized tires.

Well folks, just my thinking.

Have nice day.

This is NO April Fools' jokes when you're summoned before a court, my friend.
