Telur Penyu

Heran bin ajaib. Kenapa bah sesetengah orang ni suka sangat makan telur penyu?? Banyak khasiat ka? Yang pastinya, telur-telur ni mesti kaya dengan kolestrol. Nasib baiklah saya tidak suka makan telur penyu. Geli bah tu!

Agnes Aili Majamin. She is from Kg. Inobong Proper, Penampang and now a lecturer at Jabatan Sains Marin Fakulti Pengajian Maritim dan Sains Marin Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT)

Coconut Shell Collection Enters Malaysia Book of Record

My former school Sekolah Menengah St. Michael Penampang has made us proud recently. With combined effort of teachers and students, they entered Malaysia Book of Record for collecting coconut shells. They collected 5,508 shells.

Being a parent of two teenagers who are currently studying at the school, I am so proud of them. I even helped them to collect the shells. I hope this will educate my children to preserve environment.

Here are some articles taken from local newspapers i.e. Daily Express and Borneo Post.

Station of the Cross at Sacred Heart Church Inobong

I've never been to a real 'Station of the Cross'. Because it was formally situated at Kg. Pukakan which is quite far from Kg. Inobong.

Beginning from this year, they had moved the station near the church which is just a walking distance. The response from the kampung folks were overwhelming. Many believers attended. The prayers led by Catechist Stephen Mingkong.

Here are some of the pictures. Hopefully I can get more clear pictures from Mr. John K. He is an expert photographer compared to mine, very the amateur one hehehe

Hujan Ais Batu

Kampung Inobong dikejutkan dengan kehadiran ais batu. Too bad I was still at work when it happened. My son sms-ed telling me about thunderstorms and he was scared. I just told him to stay put and to stay away from electrical goods and phones. Another sms came from him "Ma, hujan batu!". I didn't expect it to be chunks of ice.

After work when I reached home, my children told me it was actually hujan ais batu. According to them, as soon as the 'batu' landed it melted. Tidak sempat ambil. Many of the kampung folks sempat ambil and put in the fridge sebagai kenang-kenangan. But to their dismay, kampung kami blackout until 9.00pm so their 'ice' melted.

The Season of Lent

Lent is a forty-day period before Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on the day before Easter Day.

In the Roman Catholic Church, Lent officially ends at sundown on Holy Thursday, with the beginning of the mass of the Lord's Supper.

Lent is a season of soul-searching and repentance. It is a season for reflection and taking stock. Lent originated in the very earliest days of the church as a preparatory time for Easter, when the faithful rededicated themselves and when converts were instructed in the faith and prepared for baptism. By observing the forty days of Lent, the individual Christian imitates Jesus' withdrawal into the wilderness for forty forty days. All churches that have a continuous history extending before AD 1500 observe Lent. The ancient church that wrote, collected, canonized, and propagated the New Testament also observed Lent, believing it to be a commandment from the apostles. (See the Apostolic Constitutions, Book V, Section III).

Fasting is a spiritual discipline that does not involve starvation or dehydration. Quite often, our bodily appetites control our action. The purpose of fasting is to make your bodily appetites your servant rather than your master.

Facelift

A middle aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the
hospital. While on the operating table she had a near death
experience. Seeing God She asked "Is my time up?" God said,
"No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live."

Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and
have a Facelift, liposuction, and a tummy tuck. She even had
someone come in and change her hair color. Since she had so
much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the
most of it.

After her last operation, she was released from the hospital.

While crossing the street on her way Home, she was killed by
an ambulance.

Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I
had another 40 years? Why didn't you pull me from out of the
path of the ambulance?"

God replied,

"I didn't recognize you."
