Hello friends, last month I started a new venture, Bundusan Books, a bookshop specialising in Borneo, indigenous and cultural stories. I saw that are few books about Borneo (my main subject) in bookstores and I intend to fill that gap independently.

As a non-Muslim, jamuan kelas always made me think back and forth on what to bring. I want my friends to try my mum's dish tapi nanti kena cakap masak babi. A friend bawa kuih pisang his mum made, nobody wants to eat it takut ada babi. Your loss, they were damn good.

Rugi la budak budak sekarang tak rasa makan jamuan dalam kelas. Susun meja, susun kerusi, makanan masing-masing bawak, ajak cikgu cikgu yg ajar kelas kita join, conteng papan hitam tulis "jamuan akhir tahun" lawa lawa. God bless that moment

Did this cluster went to Bali cause AirAsia sold cheap flight tickets? If so, is AA partly responsible for this, for providing cheap flights in the midst of a pandemic? Remember the couple who went to Korea? I saw a tweet that said the flight to Bali was RM44.

There is a North Borneo folklore. A group of men saw a tired orang utan in the jungle. They brought food and water for him. In return, the orang utan told the men to bring the women of their village to meet him. He taught the women about healing.
