2008 Here I come!!

Hooray! It's me on TV, shouted Macy Grey. ( In Bintulu,during 4th return trip and spending the first day of New Year 2008 there.)



A barrowful of ' lumok' fruits ( Artocarpus lowii or "terap" in Malay)




The tallest 'lumok' tree from which we collected the fruits, by climbing and lowering them by means of a rope and a basket. This tree is 30 meters high.



'Berangan ' species of the banana family. Observe the three oil palm trees in the background.

New Year Jottings

To recap, I just started blogging with my partner and co-actor, Macy Grey the last two months of 2007. This first day of this new year, we had a rest at the verandah locally called the 'abak' in the Melanau tonque. "Sorry couldn't pronounce it "said Macy.



Well , what a day we had collecting a barrow load of "lumok fruits" from the tallest 'lumok 'tree in our ec0-farm and a bunch of berangan' bananas. A good day's harvest to start off the new year.



This year blogging will be focussed on environmental awareness and ecopreneurship. That much I promise myself. Did I hear Macy meowing yes? Good girl.
