Temporarily Closed

Much appreciation for your visit to this site but it is currently closed. Whether its temporarily closed or permanent I will decide soon as I had opened another site NNN Mobile . The purpose of this Desmond in Motion site last time was to post images to this blog as I moved executing my daily duties. Understandably, postings those times were through the email via MMS but as technological advances are made via smartphones and apps it has become redundant which is why NNN came about. However I do enjoy my past posts and will maintain it for a while before I make my decision.

Thank you again.

Post Regatta Rock

We celebrated Sri Aman's second placing during the Regatta Khas DiRaja inter Division. Sri Aman got second placing for the special royal race. The party was held at Hoover Hotel Sri Aman where we party all nite long.

Time Out

Maxmillan sings 'Patah Ke Lidi' song during a get together session in Sri Aman. It is seen that TV karaokes are not a norm in Sri Aman. One has to memorise the lyrics and sing to the live band. Karaokes are for the less skilled singers here. Luckily I left the place quickly coz i don't do Karaokes or Live band. I am more of a pro at snoring in my sleep.

At An Accident scene

A Proton Wira driven by a SALCRA staff was struck by a bus BARAM in front of SK Semukoi near Balai Ringin this morning. The Proton driver died on the spot. It was said that the bus driver escaped with a slight injury. The bus was heading towards Serian while the Proton Wira was headed towards Balai Ringin. It was a head on collision.

Celebrating Gawai

The Gawai Celebration in Sarawak kicks off with various traditional ceremonies. I am propelled to look for some glimpse of Internet Connection to publish the 'Sandau Ari' Ceremony which is part of Gawai. This involves the offerings to the spirits with some sacrificial practices of a pig and chicken. Also it involves the inspection of the slaughtered pig's heart.

Sending Gawai Greetings

View from my Longhouse...its lovely to share if there is Internet and Communication connectivity. There is but at a small town of Song which is 20 minutes away from my longhouse. The signal is strong enough to reach the Internet Zone but with some effort. I have to go the distance to be able to access Internet.
