The trip to the village was incidental. That morning, 8th November 2009, we went to Teng Bekap, situated at Mile 31 Padawan Road, attending the Holy Mass celebrated by Archbishop John Ha in conjunction with the confirmation of more than 90 Catholics. As such making a trip for another 5 kilometers to the village was a bonus, as we had not visited our relatives there for more than three years.
For those who have not ventured to this beautiful Bidayuh village, take note that you need to travel to Teng Bekap via Padawan Road, a short distance from Tapah new Township at mile 24, Kuching Serian Road. The journey itself, though only 7 miles, is most memorable, what with its long winding and hilly road.
The journey from Teng Bekap to Sira passes through Krian village. Care taken as the road is narrow and winding. Reflecting back, I used to travel to the village on foot in 1964 accompanying Rev Fr Harry when I was a pupil of St Michael at Teng Bekap.
My brother-in-law is married to a local there and surprising them with the visit would be a good idea as my son, Mark had not been to the village before.
We had a good time tucking in durians collected that morning by Awen, the brother of my brother-in-law's wife. After the durian, we went to the river to collect two pails of river sand for my soil mix.
Herewith are some pictures taken at the village with relatives.
