This gawai, my mom and sister will be celebrating with my aunt in Sg Stapang, Marudi. And they will be having a ceremony 'mengambil family angkat'. My family ni 'memanglah' tak cukup besar lagi nak angkat family lain pulak. The thing is we ols mmg suka ramai2 ni. Walaupun rumah tak lah besar mana, but the feeling of tidur bersesak2, makan berebut2 and nak masuk toilet tunggu turn adalah perkara yang memang menyeronokkan. There was once, masa our late grandpa 1st year anniversary rasanya, siap ada yang tidur kat dapur lagi. Serius seronok! Normally, we...the ladies tak kan tidur sampai pagi nyerlah. Bila dah jumpa, mesti nak berborak je. Kadang2, tengah2 malam boleh nak 'menyambal' (bahasa sarawak for makan ulam2an).
So, back to the 'family angkat' ni. They are ibans. From this gawai onwards, we will be celebrating gawai lah i think. In a longhouse. A classic, old fashioned longhouse. We like!!!My mom told me they bought a 'gong' for the ceremony. Something like a gift.
*1: Congratulations to Mavis & Jacky on their big day today :)
*2: Have you read or heard about the 2 year old Indonesian boy who smokes 40 cigarettes per day? Go google. Sebenarnya nak letak link kat sini, tp..hehehe...kami tak pandai lah u ols. Boohooo!!! Anyways, rasa nak lenyek je his parents with steamroller. Like what Jimmy Kimmel said, "until they turn into peanut butter"!
*3: Hari ni, breakfast roti canai segera dengan kuah kari dhal. First time nih masak kari dhal. Nasib baik husband kata "ermmm...ni baru rasa makan roti canai and kari kat malaysia".
*4: I can only take her pics when she is sleeping :)
