digging the trench for pipe laying
Pang Bala & Yus preparing to join the broken pvc pipesAfter the taps of the main pipes in the village ran dry for a few months we finally decided
to do some repair to the dam and main pipe. It was early in the year around January and early February 2009 when the flood came and washed the dam down that the taps ran dry. When I went back we mobilised the able bodies of the village to do the repair. (Having lived in town
most part of my life - can't stand dry taps - and remembering the good old days in the village
when we had no pipe water but had bathing place in the river (aken) and the bamboo-water carrier (tabang). We had a very good time working together and rekindling the the gotong-royong spirit.

Hi Uncle Kalang!
ReplyDeleteSo great to see you blog! This post reminds me lots of Kampung - perhaps i should ask my dad that we (the family) return back to Long Semadoh this Christmas.
Keep blogging - it's great hearing from one with such experience in life.
I am just learning.There is so much to write but I don't know what to write!!!
ReplyDeleteOr rather where to start .....
Tell your Dad that it is good for a change to
go back to kampung every now and then .. Christmas time is a good beginning. Bring Noel and cousin to see their roots.
Once the ball starts rolling, there shall be no stopping right? :) so... these first few posts are the beginning of something great.
ReplyDeleteYa, Noel always says he wants to follow apu' go back Lawas... use small plane and use the hilux for long long time. I have a feeling it will be soon that his wish comes true.
