Kuraman!...wacha!

pic #1- Pulau Mayat...can u guess why?hehe

pic #2 the surau in kampung wawasan on pulau kuraman..a few minutes from my campsite...it has on of the wells,and the only generator for the whole 'kampung'(means no water n electricity la..)
pic #3 a view of the jetty near our campsite..
pic #4 a bonfire, taken just a few minutes before sunrise blending in the fire's warmth, the water's coolness, the vastness of the clouds and and closeness of the sand..
or not,hehe..







so lately i've been to this beautiful,exotic and maybe a little bit warm (at that time,hehe) island of Kuraman (please pronounce it in 'bahasa baku'[malay]..otherwise some of you might be reminded of a man clad in a kura-kura[tortoise] suit with a mantle,bandanna,and maybe a nunchaku like te ones in ninja turtles,hehe) situated somewhere between brunei and pulau labuan..the program was held by Labuan Corporation,where my dad currently works. i followed the newer guys undergoing an orientation programme( though i myself did not join since i didnt work there) since i preferred jungle trekking and kayaking to karaoke'ing and fishing(though in the end, the kayaking and jet skiing were cancelled for us)..and they were also in my age group..unfortunately i didnt have any clear photos of them..but they were nice and it was great hanging out with them

my jungle trek was in the night,so as u can see, my pics were mostly the evening and morning at the camp,and a few pics when i went to the surau in a kampung there(amazing that on such a small island there exists some people without electricity and water..well,maybe for me and others who've been living forever with these often taken-for-granted-for luxuries ,and couldnt even part with their handsets nowadays(i am not addressing anyone in particular..)

well..thats all then..i've been busy sending emails,uploading other pics, teasing my mother,rolling on the floor, looking down at the people near the balcony imagining them as ants and squashing them with my feet(well,once..), and talk about mawi,siti, af without any real reason to discuss them as we mostly have the same opinion anyway,hehe..and now i need to sleep..good nite.
