Taman Bukit Tawau

Posted on the April 29th, 2008 under Am by Maya

Taman Bukit Tawau atau juga dikenali “Air Terjun Table” adalah antara destinasi pelancongan yang best di Tawau. Ahad lalu, aku berkesempatan ke sana, melepaskan penat kerja, serabut kepala di samping dapatlah meluangkan masa bersama-sama keluarga. Apa yang menarik di Taman Bukit Table ini adalah air terjunnya, hidupan flora dan faunanya yang terjaga rapi tanpa pencemaran. Dan kalau bertenaga, bolehlah jungle tracking ke Bukit Gelas yang air terjunnya jauh lebih tinggi dan juga kolam air panas yang sememangnya baik untuk mereka yang mengalami masalah kulit.

Apa yang best di Taman Bukit Tawau:

1. Banyak aktiviti boleh dilakukan di sini. Jungle tracking, hiking, jogging, buat penyelidikan tumbuhan hutan, saksikan sendiri antara pokok yang tertinggi di dunia, ada zon tumbuhan herba dan more coming soon. Tapi acara wajib adalah mandi di sungainya yang sejuk, fresh from old khatulistiwa jungle.

TAWAU BLACK OUT!

Posted on the April 22nd, 2008 under Am by Maya

In TAWAU, an exposed high-tension wire in front of Wisma Rastamas caused a more-than-four-hour blackout, especially along Mile 31/2 and Mile 4, Monday. A Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SESB) spokesperson said a small explosion occurred after the exposed wire came in contact with rainwater at about 8am. The spokesperson said SESB technicians found the sheath had been worn out, adding they fixed the problem at about 12.30pm.

When blackouts, I have lots handy tips to do:

1. Compile a list of electricians with their names, contact numbers, addresses and operating hours. Locate those situated nearby and those which operate 24 hours.
2. Phone lines may not be affected when there is a power failure so make sure there is a non-cordless phone in the house. You see, once the electricity is cut off, that hi-tech, stylish and sleek cordless phone becomes utterly useless! But calls can still be made with a non-cordless phone.
3. Definitely a good idea to keep a charged cell phone handy.
4. Place a flashlight or tap-light near the entrance of the house or apartment, in case the blackout occurs late in the night and you have just reached the doorstep. Also place them near stairways, bathrooms, kids’ play room and in the kitchen.

Your Mole

Posted on the April 19th, 2008 under Am by Maya

First, check your face for any moles, and then look at the diagram above to identify the number(s) that are a closest match to the moles on your face. Usually, the moles only hold meaning for you if they are prominent and they are the only one. If your face if full of spots, acne or “little” moles, they do not count. When you’ve ascertained which position corresponds to the mole on your face, look up the meanings listed by numbers below.

Position 1 to 3
As a child, you are somewhat rebellious and a free spirit. You have an innate creativity and work best when you are given a free hand. Generally, your superiors like your avante garde approach to life. If you have a mole here, you are far better off in business and being your own boss rather than working for somebody. What is promising is that you have the luck to be your own boss.

Position 4
You are an impulsive person, often acting with a flamboyance that gives you charisma and a sparkling personality, but you can be difficult when there are too many opinions. You tend to be rather argumentative, but never to the point of holding grudges. This mole tends to give you an explosive temper and should you decide to remove it, you will find yourself becoming calmer and more at peace with the world.

Tan Sri Lau Gek Poh dalam kenangan.

Posted on the April 15th, 2008 under Am by Maya

Harimau mati meninggalkan nama, manusia mati meninggalkan nama. Dan kalau dapat, semua mahu meninggalkan nama yang baik, bersih, ternama lagi berjasa sebagai teladan kepada generasi akan datang. Demikianlah yang terasa di Tawau apabila mengenang mendiang Tan Sri Lau Gek Poh.

Jasanya terlalu banyak, termasuk pernah menjadi majikan kepada ahli keluargaku yang terdekat dan terjauh (bau-bau bacang pun ramai) yang bekerja di syarikat balaknya, perladangan, pembangunan dan lain-lain lagi. Di sebalik cerita yang ingin aku sampaikan di sini adalah, Tawau pastinya rasa kehilangan, meskipun isteri, 3 orang anak, 9 cucu dan 2 cicitlah yang akan mewarisi segalanya di sini. Kegigihan mendiang untuk maju dan telah mewujudkan pelbagai peluang pekerjaan kepada orang Tawau, pastinya suatu sumbangan yang bermakna dan patut diteladani oleh semua. Terima kasih atas jasa mendiang.

Aksara Bugis

Posted on the April 13th, 2008 under Am by Maya

Tulisan Bugis berdasarkan aksara asli masyarakat Bugis, bukan asimilasi dari mana-mana pengaruh menurut Prof Mattulada. Ia berasaskan “sulapa eppa wala suji” (penjaga putri) iaitu pagar bambu yg digunakan untuk acara ritual. “Sulapa eppa” adalah bentuk mistik sebagai simbol susunan semesta: api-air-angin-tanah. Wikipedia

Bila baca sejarah tulisan Bugis, aku jadi semangat mahu belajarnya, dengan tujuan satu saja rasanya, aku nak baca buku-buku @ kitab-kitab peninggalan atuk moyangku. Aksara yang di atas itu adalah asas pada sebutan bugis dan menurut guru ku (bapa ku sendiri), satu huruf tu mempunya banyak bunyi. Huhu semangat ni, inilah pertama kali aku bersemangat mahu baca kitab dalam almari bapa. Insyaallah, satu hari nanti, aku akan dapat memahaminya… Amin.

Siapa lagi yang mahu memahami asal usul keturunan sendiri melainkan kita, generasi hari ini.
