Last Saturday i feel so upset and dissapointed but today i feel more motivated. Hmm..i will be visiting the forest again tomorrow and i am glad that i can smell the freshness of the forest and listen to the chirping of the birds.
Last weekend, in the town that i live now they have a festival celebration for three days but i am not sure what is it for. I am kind of funny person, i don't like to spend my time in the crowd of people but i like to spend my time in the forest. Not to say i will stay alone because it is dangerous for a small size girl like me.
What the difference between this two situation for me? In the crowd of people especially during festival, it is really uncomfortable, hot and not much interesting events to watch or observed. If i stay inside the forest, i have lots of things to be observed, from as tiny as snail until as big as Deer. Besides, it is so peaceful and of course fresh air.
BUT i am not anti-social...:D

Plastic Regulation to Be Introduced - New Sabah Times
26th June, 2009
KUALA LUMPUR: The Housing and Local Government Ministry will introduce a new regulation on the separation of plastic from other solid wastes, the Dewan Rakyat was told.
Its deputy minister, Datuk Seri Lajim Ukin said the regulation was in line with the ministry’s move to reduce the use of plastic and to prevent it from ending up at solid waste disposal sites.
“A regulation on the separation of solid wastes like plastic, which could be recycled, will be introduced,” he said when replying to a question from Teresa Kok Suh Sim (DAP-Seputeh).
Kok wanted to know whether the government would ban or reduce the use of plastic as practiced in certain countries.
Lajim said the government would only ban the use of plastic if such action would not jeopardise the plastic industry.
* This is a really good regulation and supposed to be implement long time ago. We use so many plastics everyday and i admit that i am one of those.

A Cancel Trip
I was so dissapointed this morning when my boss told me that the higher management not approve my TA. He only approve my head to go alone. Hmmm...not feeling good about it but as always i have to think positive and react positively. Even though i admit that i am really piss off at first and a bit doubt myself. Am i doing the right thing or am i clear with the programme that i plan? Or what i am doing is just wasting the company money? Huh....i know i am still newbie in this company and that is why i need exposure to handle things. I want to grow and i want to learn something new. I will not run away anyway (i didn't apply for KPLI..okay!).
Aiyah...feel like shit for a while and sorry to express it here. I have to see something green and peaceful to lower my emotions........

Cultural Meets - The Last Part
Okay, this is the last part of my visit so let see what i got here.
This is the traditional games for Murut people (*note that the girl is not Murut's, she is Dusun from Keningau. She is one of the participant that take part in this game). They call this game "Rampanau", walking using bamboos. As you can see, Murut people depends so much on bamboo in terms of handicrafts until games. So, bamboo is really important for them.
This is how you stand on this bamboo and start walking as usual. It was very high and i tried a few times and i keep on falling. I can not make it even one step. I just can't balance my body when i stand on that bamboo. I tell you, it is really difficult for first timer like me. But it always interesting when it is the first time.
The traditional costumes for Murut's women. It looks gorgeous right. I plan to make one for my own collections.
At last i have my onw photos to share here. For men, this is how thier traditional costume looks like.
Just to show my own picture with the Murut's lady.
This is some of my new friend that i met during the Cultural Meets. She is from Kota Marudu and she is from Rungus tribe.
The last but not least, my brothers during the Cultural Meets and they are my new friends too. Naughty but a good friend that i met. We stay at the same house, our foster family during this events.

That's all i can share about my recent trip to Murut's village. Hope you guys enjoy reading my experienced for that three days.
Cultural Meets - The Bamboo Handicrafts
On the third day the villagers started to displays their handicrafts and other forest products in their traditional bamboo hut. Murut’s had very unique and pretty handicrafts especially the pattern of their weaving. Each pattern has its own story on how they get the idea of that pattern. Some of it very interesting.
However, in this village they need more exposure to create new design for their products. They only know how to make the traditional design which they use in their daily life. Instead of continues to produce the same design, they need more exposure creating something new which outside market demand for, such as tissue box, hair band, hand bag, bangle etc. If they are planning to market their products they have to be innovative and start to make new design.
It has been a few months and they are getting better now when they started to produce new products. I did learn a little bit from them but it is really hard work and tests my patience. I am sure this community will come out with great and amazing products with guidance from experts.
