Invited to my cousin’s wedding on the 3rd day of Gawai, the wedding reception was held at the bride house at Lidong, Betong. Was informed that the reception started at 9 am so everyone woke-up early that morning to get ready. It’s 10 mins ride from our longhouse to the bride house.
Welcome the guests
The groom & his bride
It was a pleasant wedding overall and we wish the newly wed couple all the best in their new life journey as a soulmates.
We reached longhouse during dinner time and we all know that it’s going to be a long night tonight. So, once we arrived at our longhouse, we quickly take out our stuffs from the car and we choose to leaved the things at ‘Sadau’. Then we going to Betong town to buy some grocery at Everise supermarket, on our way home we get to drop by my uncle’s house at Nyelutong. Spend 30 mins there miggled and chit-chatting with the relatives and it’s good to see all the familiar faces and our little nephew and nieces has grown up, then we’re making our moved back to home to help up with the preparation for the 31st midnight, Gawai eve’s.
It’s start with the toast..:
ohh..ha.aa!!!

Overall it was a fun night for everyone and the party finished almost 6 in the morning, great experience for 1 big family reunion. See you guys next year, peeps!
It’s been awhile since the last posting on month of February. Well, we’re both been busy with our daily chores and spent less time to update our blog section. “Anang nganu wai”. Okay now, cut the chase, recently we ‘re both just came back from tiring, exciting and most of all, fun trip with our family to our longhouse at Betong, Saribas. We spent 12 hours plus on the road and thank goodness the whole day was raining rather than hot sunny day like usually in Miri. Besides listened to music & accessing the atmosphere around along the way managed to took memorable pictures.

When we reached Sibu town, we managed to drop- by and do window-shopping at Medan Mall shopping complex as when we’re about to get in to the car, visibly see the dark cloud surrounding the place. So we quickly find our exit from the Medan Mall heading to the Lanang bridge and braved the heavy rain. Still remember that 3 roundabout before we found our turn to Lanang Bridge road.
Dark clouds on it’s way..
Wonder what’s the use of the few row of plank built in the drain, find it kind of interesting.

As we all came across the Bukit Kayu Malam ( Night Wood Hill) the locals called it, it was a breath-taking view as our car move slowly heading up hill and everyone is enjoying the astonished evening view from the hill and the mist surrounding. “feel like in Cameron Highland”, my hubby break the silent. Yes indeed, thou it’s drizzling, cold and wet but can’t deny the beauty of mother nature. Wish could grab the mist then put it in the jar as souvenir.

Finally we reached our destination and it’s quite a relief, I say so because all of us are already very tired from the ride but back in the car can see everyone is still smiling, cracking jokes and sing along to some of our fav. songs.
This is the 2nd evening we and I guess as well as other neighbors stays nearby felt disturbed by the noisy of the dog that own by one of the neighbor behind our house. Feel pity towards the dog, I guess the owner must have tie or put the dog into the cage for some reason which the dog doesn’t feel comfortable or perhaps he/she just brought in and has not been familiar with the environment surrounding yet, who know?. Wish I could sneak in the house compound and release the poor thing. Strange how some people being ignorant, intolerance and have less respect for others.
