Ni kita petara aki, petara ini, petara apai, petara indai. Kami ngangau, kami nesau, kami madah, kami nunggah. Ni baka ke maya ari tu kami minta ampun, minta tulung, minta peda, minta tela. Awak ka kami majak mansang, bulih penyenang, bulih reta enggau pengaga. OOOOOOOOOOha …

Work

and more work ..

I hate Fridays

For fuck’s sake it’s Friday and I was still in the office at 10 p.m. Sometimes I just fucking hate my job. Maybe not to my job but maybe to the surrounding of my job. Or maybe it’s my boss. Damn it! Like I care but then yes, I do mind. I’ll take a plunge …

*sob*sob*

I won’t be home for Gawai. Just in case you all don’t know, I’m an Iban. NO, I don’t wear cawat to work, you don’t have to worry about that and I don’t live on tree tops also and most of all I am very friendly, I don’t go around head hunting if that is what you’ve heard about Ibans.

Lama amat asai enda ngena leka jako Iban ba pengidup sari ari. Enti ba endor gawa ngena jako orang putih ga, ba pasar ngena jako laut. Bala kaban belayan nadai ga nemu jako iban. Bisi ga tang enda mayoh. Munyi ko orang putih “very limited” la.

Dad called yesterday. He said that they’re back in Kampung already. Everyone seems to be in the mood for gawai back home and me, I’m stuck here in this busy metropolis doing nothing and not feeling any mood for gawai even. Isn’t it sad? It’s not that I’m not looking forward to it but yeah, there’s no place to menyalai ngot ngot here in my place, no place to ngirup pengayu. Of course there’s lotsa bar around here but that everyday also I can do what. It’s not the same with celebrating Gawai at home where booze are free, foods are freea and everything is free. I don’t have to pay charges to dance and to have fun but here I have to pay a hefty maybe around RM75 just to enter for fuck’s sake.

Not worth complaining. To all my Dayak friends out there wherever you are (Charyelle - You’re half dayak rite? I guess you’ll be heading back to kampung and ngirup tuak also) I just would like to wish all of you :

Selamat Hari Gawai, Gayu Guru Gerai Nyamai, Lantang Senang Nguan Menoa

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhaaaaaaa
