Bedroom with Slanted Windows

Lovely design, especially the big windows. You can look at the stars, rain and lightening. With the installation of binders, you can avoid the heat.

Private Nook

Freshome

I love this nook. So personal, so private. Boleh guling guling and baca buku inside here for hours. Talking about it, Idraki and I was up at his Tok Ki's house at the top bedroom earlier today. There was a nice little nook like this with a trianguler space near the door. The windows were facing the road, he was so mesmerised by the scenery and stayed there for a long time, almost like he didn't want to go home(although mommy only saw a windy road and greeneries-no imagination la mommy!). Mesti he was imagining about something tu.

Trip Through North Borneo 1907

From the youtube description:

Opening with a train journey, the film shows views from the train as it passes through a village and crosses a bridge. The camera is next on a boat, showing rapids, the jungle, locals on a raft and members of the expedition fording the stream.

This is followed by scenes of the local industries. Locals quarry for manganese ore, gather rubber from a tree (watched by Europeans) and pick and sort tobacco leaves from the fields. Further scenes reveal locals at a trading post and performing for the camera.

Next, Chinese convicts collect their food, before a sequence showing a European supervising two locals as they chop a sago palm tree. Once felled, the trunk is sawed off and buffaloes (ridden by locals) haul the logs off screen.

Local boys take part in a swimming race - diving off a gangway, watched by a European figure rowing alongside - before the film concludes with further shots of the buffaloes, driven into, and crossing, the water.
