John Curtin Weekend !!!
wat is tat actually? ya .. some sort of volunteer work .. donno aus thr got or not ler .. hehe .. the programme is ~ weekend rural outreach programme … yayaya … oh man !!
if i didn’t manage to attend this programme .. i will cry forever … hehe .. i woke up at 5:50 a.m. on sat .. the bus was depart at 6 a.m. sharp tat day … so juz rush everything n jogging to the bus stop .. watever ~ the bus actually departed at 6:30 a.m. due to certain technical problem …
eh .. i was very bad luck tat day … the bus we took was broken down b’cos of overheatin’ … but nvm la … then nx bus come loh … to make a substitution but wat again … the second bus was broken down too .. eh … so no choice but to walk to the long hse … haha .. this wat we call curtin volunteer is it? but half way sure got car to pick us up la .. so not really suffer a lot under the hot sun
finally arrive … traditional music … iban people … r welcoming us … ye heh i’m a bit lucky for it since the long hse is a brick building … quite modern … the other team is the classic type .. timber combine wood .. i think so .. since we r quite far from each other … but thr isn’t any power n water supply here .. oh oh oh … i gonna experience this … tell ya wat .. bath in the river .. sleep without fan or air-con .. all they hv is natural air-con … tat’s true ler … i felt cold laz nite even with the modern facilities …
yaya … laz nite wat ? i got drunk .. really .. these ppl r mad for party … b4 the crazy stuff .. we hv traditional welcoming ceremony .. related to the Gawai celebration … we dance with them too .. ngajat dance if i’m not mistaken .. but juz hantam saja la .. wow .. these iban people really got lot of tattoo la … i mean for those oldies … after tat … we start the mad party .. the long hse was actually having a disco party la … those ppl dance thr .. oldies .. youngies … everyone join together … wow .. n those iban gal very clever la .. they juz force us to drink their rice wine … n i really hv many shot for tat .. all r one shot finish …crazy man ..first time i walk into the classic iban disco … haha … one auntie n one uncle don’t let me go even though it is really late already … as we need to work for the nx day …
tell ya wat .. tat uncle n auntie wan me to do volunteer work with their gal .. i dono sepupu or wat kind of relative r they … juz push the gal over n dance together … hehe .. don’t think i will do anything la .. i drunk but i still can control myself … i talk with the gal .. form 4 actually …stay in the sch hostel since their kampung is very far away from the sch .. then lucky the gal run away .. wakaka … n then my bapa angkat come over n help me out from the mad disco .. oh yeh .. i manage to escape from thr …
oh ya … forget to say .. each participants r divide to different family as anak angkat … i hv one also … oh ya .. our main task was painting their main gate .. some kind of art stuff for their culture …so tired … arhh …
food ? oh .. kampung style food … since the village is far far away from town … so they got most of the resource by farming … fishing … etc … water to drink ? mineral water ye .. yaya .. something .. i need to mention here .. i bath in the river right ? oh with gals also … ohoh .. they cover with sarung … n we bath together thr … haha … so .. can imagine la ..
b4 return to the main city .. i manage to got a manik chain from them .. as a souvenir … red color de chain .. since i lik liverpoolfc … really great i able to grab the only red chain …
got lot to say but em .. pics r the great proof … later i got the pics then i post luurr .. since i didn’t hv any cam .. so if they giv me then i post la .. if no then no luuu …
p/s: i don’t think i can really bare with this kampung lifestyle .. but i promise will go back thr again since i hv left a signature on the group … n i really learn a lot from their culture including those i didn’t clarify above … makai makai … jalai jalai .. i juz know this iban language only

wow, over here in curtin don’t have such events -_-;; good lah you managed to volunteer, earning yourself a new experience with the iban culture. lol, wei seems like u very happy kan, can bath with girls -_-;; although with sarung, but still as u say..imagination…run wild? LOL!
