Whatta feet!
These aren't my feet - they belong to my colleague. I took advantage of her morning-care ritual, which meant bending over.. The host Penan family had burst into laughter because they thought I was taking a photo of her butt. Now, why would I do a crazy thing like that?? Hee..
I haven't written much here, have I? There are still the stories from the Baram, which probably end up being a story from the Baram. Coming soon, as they all say...
It's been a crazy week: I was sick and achey before I got better over the weekend. I've been having work-anxiety dreams that carried over to real-time. I spent too much money on the Popular booksale (I think I bought a total of nine books - hee. Some of the loot were for my sister and the two Penan girls). I got all these weird calls and smses from Mandarin-speaking folks. I yelled at one of them for calling so repeatedly but he didn't understand me. For some reason, we've been eating a lot of Indian food this week but I'm not complaining! My sister turned 31 last Friday. I asked her what she wanted, and she replied, "a miracle".
"Bath salts, maybe?"
And oh, I wrote an angry note to the driver of a car that was illegally parked and made my reversing extremely difficult:
"Dear Inconsiderate Idiot,
Is your ass too large to park in the proper parking space??"
Friends later commented, "let's hope that they understand English!"
Bah, at least I felt better writing that note.

Hi, I have a question, when you guys were in the forest and lets say you need to take a leak or dodo, do you say some phrase to avoid offending the spirits ? Since you grew up in Swak, you may know the rules of the forest already, but did you advise your foreign counter parts to do so ? I am just curious.We never did.
nice blog.

i really like this picture. i have ears that are stretched out like that but nowhere near that big.
q: i love it!!
cooknengr: Sometimes, I do say my apologies whenever I go to the loo in the forest but sometimes I just can't be bothered. :-D To be honest, I'm more afraid of people than spirits. And yea, I don't bother advising foreigners to follow suit.
julien: thanks for your kind comments! I would be interested to see a photo of your ears. :-D
Quixotic cat: what a sweet thing to say! Thanks! :-)
