Ferry comes, Ferry goes

A husband and wife conversation.

O Gosh, people are already in their station. We are late. Watch the ramp. OK ,my Love.

Ferry comes, ferry goes. Within ten minutes we'll arrive Bintulu town. Just sit and stand still.

Fresh Pineapple for juicing

This afternoon I bought four of these beautiful pinapples ( Ananas cosmosus) at the 'tamu' or local jungle produce market. The Malay word for pineapple is 'nenas'. One fruit like the above costs RM 1-2 only, each one weighing between 1-2kilos. I bought them to make fresh juice to break my fast today.

Flowers keep falling on my head

It's springtime for these tabebuiea trees or sometimes known as trumpet trees on account of their trumpet-like flowers. In the above picture the flowers are pink and therefore called Tabebuiea rosea.  Below it's the white flower variety and referred to as Tabebuiea alba.

Location: Open space at Medan Jaya, Bintulu.

Orange Fungi

I found these two orangish fungal objects this morning at the farm. It's web-like 'fruiting body' or spore producing structures are very attractive to flies. I am at a lost regarding its scientific name.

A Home called PALACE

Here I am Queen. I have a  special place called " Daisy Palace". The place to lie back, raise my legs up in the clouds, dreams the impossible and proud to be a mother.

Poor Pipit

The 'pipit' ( Cheshnut Munia) is a very common bird in Bintulu. They have pale blue bill and cheshnut coloured feathers. Feeding on grass seeds, they fly in flocks and produce rather loud continuous echoes of 'pit,pit,' from which derived their name 'PIPIT'( Malay word)

Poor pipit is prey to cats. Here Einstein a Bintulu born cat, seems reluctant to release his priced catch of the day when talked to.

Crossing River by Ferry

Early this morning when picking up my worker I stopped by the jetty where people from Kampung Jepak take a ferry boat to reach Bintulu town which is just across the Kemena River as seen below.

The ferry boat being a small rivercraft only takes passengers on motorbikes. No fees are charged. By courtesy of the Government. Time taken: about 7.30 am. The sun is about to rise in the East.

Here comes the ferry.
