5 Dec Planting Ceremony

Gosh its been ages since i last do an entry, the thing is that i cannot download pictures to my blog, something to do with my internet connection orrrrrrr my blog server is going haywire, but nevermind at least this morning i manage to download my recent pix.

Well last week, we had this twice yearly ( sometimes trice too) planting ceremony and joint venture between my University and JISE ( an independent organization in Japan). The project has been going for almost 14 years ( agak-agaklah tu). The purpose for the project is to reestablish the forest and so far i think the project have proven itself.

well as we all know, there was a lot of logging in Borneo and whats left was the secondary forest , which was logged until left was pure bare ground and soon the development of Oil Palm Estates. So one of the ways to reestablish the forest is to plant new tree of diff varieties.

The way to plant this plants differ to the ways plantation are doing. Plants are planted closer together and a exact hole is made , that only fit the polybag in order for plants would grow vertically upward. After that mulch are given to the plant to retain the soil moisture and this is important no campacting around the tree ( i dont know y, normally we compact newly planted tree, but the Japanese ask all of us not to compact the tree). So thats it, and leave it to grow by itself, no maintanance no manuring.

This is Our University reserve forest for teaching purposes.

The planting area, Dok Wan is doing an introduction.

Doing planting... ramainye indon.

This is my ICT fren, he beg me to put his face on my website. ahaks.. Looks like indon ke.

aduh pak joko, oh btw he is next to London, i think on the March 2008.

me, kepenatan tanam 4 pokok. ahaks, and the idea is for an individual to plant 20-30 plants but i only manage to plant 4, no more pokok what to do hehehe, somemore i am the cameraman.

This is the whole team .. think green plant trees. baju tu free hehehe.

Why i like Friday

Gosh this is a stupid entry hehee. tak ada kerjalah ni kan.

WHY I LIKE FRIDAY:-

1. Betos..... tomorrow is Saturday and its the weekend.
2. Betos..... the next day is Sunday and its another weekend.
3. Betos i like .. i like lah. ( thats what my nephew Daniel use to say)
4. And last but not least ... the break time is longer. hehehe.

So that wraps up why i like Friday.

Do you know that Friday comes from the word Free day..

Computer caput...

Nothing much happens today, accept that i paid my bills before hand.. I guess things are a little bit delayed due to some errors with my computer at the office. I called Nizam from ICT this morning , and after running the errors with him finally i could log in to Mayband2u and My blog.

There are some discouragement on my behalf ( adalah benda) but the main thing is that my Computer could function well again.

I am still thinking about my presents... this Christmas. Well i know what Inday and Toto's going to give me ( Nah't... to sis.. a Gold pendent... oh you did't... and Inday gosh you know what i mean rite) Ini yang susah ni ... oh yes i know... well tonite i am going to have to list my budget. Now we don't want to be Papa Kedana after Christmas rite.

Oh i got Nonoy's present already... its all the way from LONDON. Mahal tu... nasib baik beli masa tu, i don't have to think about him.

My nephew and nieces pun ... aduh.. nasib baik 6 je, Kalau ramai.. alamat dapat hadiah dari kedai RM 2.00 lah namanye. Esah... told me " tito kau tau ka aku ni dah nak 18 tahun tau, no more kedai RM 2.00 or a T shirt". Gosh, dulu i dapat pensil warna pun dah kira okay tau.

But for me really... Christmas is all about my family and Home.. Hugs and kiss .. sharing and having to thank God for another wonderful year but most of all thanking God for the birth of Jesus. What about u then .. what does Christmas meant to you.. ( well if your a Christianlah kan)

I remember a friend of mine in my Primary school , i think it was lahaji , he told me how lucky i am as a Christian, with all the presents , dinner and snow during Christmas. Gosh i am nearly 40 now and still no snow pun. hehehe, but looking at it i am lucky.. to be a Christian.

AMEN........ PUJI TUHAN

JESSE TREE

This morning i sms both my sisters about my blog and Inday told me that she've seen it early today with Nanay my mum.

She told me that my Xmass tree is too commercial. Yea rite.... I don't care he. he. and she told me that she's going to put up a Jesse tree .. What is a jesse tree.

Well basically a Jesse tree is a :

There are a variety of ways to make a Jesse Tree.

1. First of all, you will need a Bible, for the readings for each day.
2. Use a small REAL Christmas Tree and have the Children hang the Jesse Tree ornaments on the Tree during a Church Service.
3. Choose a 3 or 4 foot tree branch with lots of smaller branches attached to it. Place the branch in a pot of dirt or gravel and cover the bucket with Christmas paper.
4. Make a wall hanging using burlap fabric and sew a felt tree branch to the fabric. Attach Velcro® to the backs of the ornaments for attaching to the felt Jesse Tree.
5. Just draw the designs on big pieces of poster board, print out the readings and glue the Scripture readings to the back of the posters and have children present them.

so basically this is how a Jesse tree looks like ya... in animationlah.

And this is how a Jesse tree in actual... Inday is this how it suppose to look like? Adui... Kenapa dong.
