Photohunters: pointed and Puteri Santubong
I knew the time had come to prepare for this week’s theme ‘pointed’. I have some shots done 
hastily. Sorry tnchick Instead I specially prepared a video for my photohunter friends from all over the world. The sights and sounds of Borneo Sarawak. Listen to the sounds and sight of our local musical instruments blended with the new and modern. For music enthusiasts I am sure it will be a new experience. Puteri Santubong the name of the song means Princess Santubong who is remembered forever in a legend.
Pointed as in nature
Pointed as in artificiality 
what a grand word.. in this case I posted a pic of pointed end of an aeroplane. A simple toy but it kept my son and the neighbour’s son busy the whole morning.
Mount Santubong
Santubong is also famously connected to the legend of Puteri (princess) Santubong and Puteri Sejinjang who descended from “kayangan†– a mystical place where people possessed special powers - to live with mankind. Both princesses were equally beautiful and endowed with all feminine attributes but trouble between them started when both fell for the same man, Putera (prince) Serapi.
From then on, they started arguing and began comparing their beauty, subsequently leading to a fight. Before descending to Earth, they vowed to be Good, failing which they would be punished.As they broke their vows, they became petrified and were turned respectively into Mount Santubong and Mount Sejinjang, located across the Sarawak River to Kampung Santubong.
This may explain why Mount Santubong takes the shape of a woman’s face from the side.
It is also believed that Santubong and Sejinjang were daughters of Datu Merpati, a Malay nobleman and adventurer who said to be from “kayangan.†or the parallel universe to our own universe.
