Back to 1985


(Picture taken in 1985-SRK Long Aton, Tinjar, Baram)

Here in SRK Long Aton, Tinjar I started to learn “a, b, c…., 1 to 10”. Every day we have to work, carrying water from Tinjar river and wooden for cooking to hostel’s kitchen. It was very challenging life. These types of activities built a moment that contributes to a perception that school was a boring place. Twenty of students register to school every year, twenty of students quit for the next year. Once they are able to read and write, they will relinquish. At that time, our parents were lacked of knowledge especially in education system. System of study was very deprived. Our slab of hostel was made from bamboo, hostel’s roof was using zinc (2nd hand), when raining in midnight sure it licking. Then every one will sleep at any corner of the hostel to keep away from wet when wake up in the morning.

Now, I am proud to be one of the students. Without SRK Long Aton, sure I couldn’t write this blog, I couldn’t achieve what I am at the moment. I have what people have and I have what I wanted to have. I am proud for all teachers that build us that time, 1982 to 1987. It’s been almost 27 years I still remembered SRK Long Aton, Tinjar. Here my life begins.

Baby "Engan" born 14th December 2009









Christmas 2009 brought a lot of meanings in my life. Apart from that, I could adopt a cute baby named Frederic Engan Ngau (FEN). I gave him name Ngau as my family name and Frederic is one of the amazing Saints. Engan is kenyah’s name, taken from his


great grandfather, Sagan the elder brother of Ngau, the Long Sebatang founder (Pioneer). Home sweet home...my first time celebrated Christmas at my long house since before millennium. Here, I grew up...a lot of gorgeous and awful memories happened that build me to endure this life. Besides, Christmas season 2009 gives me opportunity to meet my ex-classmates, ex-schoolmate, old friends, relatives and the community generally. Scenery, still same never change, but, we feel a bit worry to new fellow comers especially logging activities, palm oils activities and illegal logging activities that sometimes did not benefit the community of folks.

This is my dream super bike. The price is RM7Xk. I hope one day I could buy it.
In Malaysia, now the price RM7XK up to RM8XK. In Singapore, the price is around RM30K only.


This segment is for motorcycle only. Why this super bike very expensive especially in Malaysia? But, if you go to other countries, you might find out the price is very reasonable. Then, we ask ourselves why??? Out of 97% peoples in Malaysia are underprivileged and the statistic was recorded accurately end of year 2009. Is it because negative support from government? Or there something to hide? My friend makes a joke by saying; biker is almost related to a golf player, this sport is only for rich people. Wait la...until you become a rich man.

At first, I put my idol leader is Tun Dr. Mahathir B Mohammad. But after he retired as Prime Minister of Malaysia, I know a lot of him as sources all around since bloggers, media, newspapers and internet info crossing globally without boundary, all these brought thousand of meanings for peoples know and take advanteges. Then, my idol totally change, where next is Dato' Nik Aziz Nik Mat, Kelantan Menteri Besar. I like his speech, action, the way he serves peoples and never show off. Even though he is in lineup with opposition parties, he still serving peoples in UMNO and BN equally. This is the leader we need in Malaysia.

Kesan Asap Rokok !!!

"Merokok Membahayakan Kesihatan" ini salah satu saranan yang ditulis pada kotak rokok tidak kira apa jenama. "Amaran oleh Kerajaan Malaysia". Tuan-tuan dan puan-puan, kita hayati kata -kata di atas. Kenapa tidak kerajaan tulis berbunyi "Rokok Tidak dijual di Malaysia". Saya faham kalau guna ayat ini. Dulu, orang tua selalu memberi nasihat supaya jangan cuba-cuba hisap rokok, nanti bila sudah besar, kita tidak ada perasaan malu ambil rokok dari kocek baju orang yang lebih tua dari kita. Ada kebenaran dalam nasihat ini. Saya pernah mengalaminya...

Probably the most frequent damage is to the lungs, in the form of chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), bronchitis and emphysema. This damage results in cough, production of sputum, respiratory infections, reduction of exercise capability and eventually, disability and death. A recent population study has shown that at least 30% of smokers sustain such damage to the lung. Damage to the lung is demonstrable through inexpensive and non-invasive pulmonary function testing (PFT). Showing the patient the amount of damage already done to his lung as expressed in relative lung age can help to convince him that he needs to quit. Smoking causes lung cancer as well as cancer of the mouth and tongue, throat, larynx, esophagus and trachea. These cancers take many years to develop, and are rare under the age of forty.A middle aged patient who has been a long term smoker has a risk of 1-2% per decade of having a lung cancer. As he gets older, the risk/decade increases to 2-3% per decade. This adds up to a risk of approximately 10% for long term cigarette smokers during a lifetime. If a person has had and been cured of a lung cancer, the risk of his developing a second cigarette-related cancer is as high as 25% in the next decade! A person who has had a lung cancer also has an increased risk of developing a second cancer of the mouth, tongue, pharynx, larynx and esophagus. This combined risk is approximately 5% in a decade. Smokers also have a much higher risk of ardiovascular illness than non- smokers, including

  1. heart attack,
  2. peripheral vascular disease and
  3. stroke.

In sum total, cigarette smoking results in the premature death of at least 430,000 Americans each year, with an average of 10 years of productive life lost per person.

Many millions die worldwide.
