A Better Direction to DATON NGAWI' Office

that road sign

DATON NGAWI' Freshwater Fish Farm is located slightly less than one kilometer along Jalan Babagon-Timpango which branches to the right from the Penampang-Tambunan Main Road at around KM 22. Jalan Babagon-Timpango is a sealed road. It cuts across the Moyog River at a scenic river fording. This particular river spot has been made quite famous and popular by picnickers, car lovers and, generally, users of small as well as big vehicles. Although many town dwellers and Government office workers have come to visit this place, it is doubted that any workers from the Jabatan Alam Sekitar have ever visited this place on 'some Sunday afternoon'. A short distance from these famous river banks is a right-hand turn junction to Jalan Babagon Indah. The Government planted Road Sign near that junction means to direct every intending seeker of Stesen Pertanian Babagon and Stesen Perikanan Babagon. One has to look closely at the seemed-to-be-an-after-thought inserted arrow sign and the direction where it is pointing. From Jalan Babagon Indah, one can see a panoramic view of Daton Ngawi' Freshwater Fish Farm area and its Site Office.

A Branch of an Old Tree @ 56

An earthly life's span which many individuals liken to that of one's literal journey here on Earth has its own mental lineal graph kept by the owner. The graph could actually be literally plotted with signposts, and when that was done, it would become writing points of one's life-story.

My friend who retired much later than me said that he has kept his mental lineal graph from Year 0 up to the present, nearing Year 56. Fortunately or unfortunately, he said, the length of his imaginary paper strip was symbolically crumpled and rendered unusable. He therefore had to stop the keeping of his mental lineal graph and make a firm decision of continuing transfers of graphic thoughts onto an imaginary branch of his yet more imaginary ready-grown old tree. He said that he would put in 100 for 290110 and if good luck would have it, God willing, he said that he would be mentally plotting and ballooning memorable life's events as they would forwardly happen. At 56! ... and to start afresh, to start anew! He said he wanted to hear the sound of his own laughter once more.
