Hey,there! i think it's not too late for me to wish SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI MAAF ZAHIR & BATIN to all Muslims and HAPPY MALAYSIAN DAY to all Malaysians out there! Some of you might have a week of Raya holidays,right? Wow,how lucky you are. Having a really golden time with your families and friends.
Well,I gotta work on 5th Raya which was so damn boring and really,really wanna shut down my steps. Work,huh? Yeah...gotta do it...

I went to Sibu,Sarawak for Majlis Pelancaran Kg WiFi di RH Julau dan Majlis Penyerahan Komputer Riba 1Malaysia kepada penduduk di Julau. Hearing the program makes me think this is another fascinating event I ever involved. I could have imagined a nice place with a village style and meeting those Sarawakians,knowing their cultures and the people itself.
My flight was scheduled at 7.30pm from KLIA and I arrived at 9.45pm at Sibu Airport.
On my way from the airport to RH Hotel,the surrounding was totally different from what I thought before. It was dull,bored and quiet place which I don't think I'm in love with that place.
But,yeah...I told myself "I was just arrived. Let's discover it tomorrow"
Given such spirit to know and understand the lifestyle makes me eager to stay there. SO,this was where my journey took a place.......

The Journey! I was being told that the road to Julau was very bad in condition. 'Pil Mabuk' I guess that really helped me a lot during my traveling. I had that 1/2 hour before the journey and it works! The journey took 1 hour and 15 minutes and yes!!! The road was like hell!!! OMG! I never thought it would be like this! 4km before I arrived at that village,the road was changed to 'jalan tanah merah' - like a 4 wheel-drive experience! Oh! How difficult for those who lived there to get down and to go to the Pekan Julau. It made me feel how grateful I am of living in my place, even though my family are not from the rich groups. Bersyukur kepada Allah SWT.
However, it was a meaningful experience to me since I never experienced the actual 4 wheel-drive and I really thankful for that.
The rumah panjang was really nice. If I have a big family,then the design of rumah panjang will be suitable for those who want to gather with families all the time. Most od the Ibans are Christians and maybe some of them are Muslims but it's minority. So,they ate food that are not Halal. The rehearsal started at almost 11am and finished at 3pm. Then,we discussed some important matters and went back at 4pm.

The actual day of the event!!!
Things move as planned. Luckily,it's not raining on that day. Cool~ SUN~
I like to see the performance of Sarawakians. They are absolutely unique and the culture is still there. The most joyful part was when YB Menteri delivered his speech to Rumah Panjang's residents. The speech was fantastic and really gained attention from that residents. The way YBM delivered his speech was very spontaneous and I salute him for that. Congrats!
YB Dato' Joseph Salang was also there,delivering his speech. He spoke in both languages English and Iban to reach his people who has supported him all the way since he became a minister. He was simple and friendly. YB Datin Seri Utama Masnah Rais, on the other hand was a brave women and always supported her husband. She was with us during the event and she was very nice and humble. She joined those Iban's residents and she can managed herself with that situation.
The event ended up at 5.45pm. Then,I continued with the culture program at Rumah Panjang Canggan which was located approximately about 5km down from Rumah Panjang RH Guntul. The cultural performance were beautiful and great! I could see their traditional costumes which was unique for me. The Ibans were happy and enjoyed the show - i can see that. Children were playing,running back & forth,singing,yelling,laughing and screaming to each other. They were all excited with the activities held over there. Finally,we went back to hotel nearly 10.30pm.
And...and...and...had dinner with Chairman! EEwwk! I don't think I enjoyed the dinner! Snobbish!!!!
