This message is brought to you by y2jdicaprio.blogspot.com…\n/ yeay! I’ll be going to Kapit tomorrow morning (that would be 31^st May) for Gawai celebration@my grandma’s longhouse. This is the first time I’m going back there since 2009. For those who wish to come for Gawai visit@my home(as if you would care..), I won’t be there since I’ll be@Kapit till 2^nd of June. While I’m doing my triennial visit(kehehehe…), any contact via phones or internet are not reachable as I will be in so called ‘jungle’. Yes, the truth hurts(bleaahhh!...) and I hope you would bear the pain as I’m gone. Hopefully I’ll be back with some interesting story for you guys…J

Back to present time, last night I watched Rickie Andrewson singing@Kanowit fun fair and tonight I can’t wait to watch Lucy M on stage…k thanx bye…

Selamat Hari Gawai 2012

This is the 'bebiau' prayer in Iban, a prayer when the 'elder' swinging a live chicken around...I'm not good at this ceremony but i find this prayer very realistic and fresh..sorry but i can't translate every word cause it's sooooo looong plus my Iban is very poor...:)..(taken from dayakbaru...)

Sa, dua, tiga, empat, lima, enam, tuuuuuujuh!

Enda aku busong ngelangkah gunong,
Enda aku tulah ngelangkah tanah,
Enda aku danjan ngelangkah bulan,
Enda aku tumbang ngelangkah bintang!

Kaki aku udah bediri di segi besi belumpong,
Nyawa aku nyapa nyembah di klasah tikai bedong long.
Lengan kanan aku ditanggam beringan lanchum selong,
Pala aku di-bap singkap jalong jabong,
Blakang aku ditinggang seludang baju burong.

Laban aku tu ukai mungkal ukai nanjal,
Aku tu endang niti endang nali,
Baka ijok tampung penduk,
Baka rutan tampung danan,
Baka ira tampung lemba,
Baka wi tampung tali.
Pecah periuk tanah ganti periuk tani,
Padam bulan diganti matahari,
Parai orang ka tuai ganti tubuh kami,
Pambu orang ka dulu ganti kami ka dudi.

Kami tu deka ngintu gawai dayak,
Nitih ka pekat, ngimbai adat menoa Sarawak,
Ngibun durok kitai bansa,
Negi ka menira adat ugama menoa Malaysia,
Ngambika tampak rita idup bersama di mata dunya.

O….Hoi!

Nya baru aku ngangkat ka kita ke lama udah timpat,
Tinggang urat sebangki api.
Tu baru aku nyungkang kita ke lama udah tumbang,
Tinggang batang tebelian wi.
Aku nyerungkai kita ke lama udah parai,
Keranjai indai imbok kedidi.

Tu aku ngangau ka aki kami Sera Gunting,
Ke tau nemuai ngagai gensiring langit kuning.
Ngangau ka tuai benama Begeri,
Ke dulu ngajar kitai beguna ka atau babi,
Laban iya ba indai ka Dara Manis Muka.
Aku ngangau ka aki kami ke benama Sarapoh,
Tuai ke berani nyanda bunoh,
Ringka-ringka ngema benong benda menaga.

Aku ngangau ka Aki kami Pateh Ambau,
Ke datai ari Pangkalan Tabau,
Peling lanting tawang ulih menang bedagang.

Aku mega ngangau ka Gerasi Belang Pinggang,
Seduai Rukok ke Pematak Bala Nyerang.

Aku ngangau ka Petara Betie “Brauh Gumbang”,
Seduai Datu Patinggi Gurang.

Aku ngangau ka Petara Jalir, Petara Gisang,
Petara Geringu, Petara Sumbang.

Aku ngangau ka Petara Gerijih Ai Marang,
Seduai Bangkam ke ngaram ka sampan buong Rajang.

Aku ngangau ka Tindin Pimpin Bragah Ngindang,
Seduai Entingi Keti Aur Tulang.

Aku ngangau ka Rekaya Tom Tajai Ngindang,
Enggau tuai entanak benama Unggang.

Ngangau ka Petara Uyut benama Bedilang,
Petara Atin apai Saang,
Petara Sabok Apai Mang,
Orang Kaya Dana Bayang,
Enggau Chulo bejulok Tarang.

Orang ngasoh aku ngambi ngabang,
Ngambi mansang,
Ngambi makai,
Ngambi nandai !

Kita ka ari ili datai sabuah barong,
Kita ari ulu undor sabuah buong.
Kita ari langit nilik naka rekong,
Kita ari tanah nyengok naka punggong.
Ngabang abis, ngabang lengis,
Betambit pintu, bekaling alu,
Bekaling lantai, bekesai tikai.
Aku ukai ngangau ngapa, ukai ngangau pia,
Aku mai kita ngabang, mai kita mansang,
Mai kita makai, mai kita nandai.
Aku mai piring, mai ading,
Piring penganan, piring penyaran,
Piring Arak, Piring Tuak,
Udah sedia, udah nyengenda,
Ditikai wi, tikai peradani,
Ditikai rutan, tikai bemban.

Kita ke ngabang bakanya mega,
Anang tuboh puang, tuboh sabatang,
Anang mai tuboh murus, tuboh untus,
Tang mai ubat serangkap genap,
Mai batu teruba nemu,
Mai pengaroh gembar tuboh.

Anang engkah ngapa, engkah pia,
Engkah ba piring, engkah ba ading.
Ayan ka ba tegalan,
Lengka ka ba pedara,
Sikap ka di ketupat.
Ngambi ka kena peda, kena tela,
Kena iching, kena perening.
Awak ka kena genggam, kena simpan,
Kena sandoh, kena taroh,
Kena japai kena pegai.

Enggau sampi tu,
Aku Minta kami chelap-embab,
Minta gayu-guru,
Gerai-nyamai,
Bidik-lansik,
Betuah-belimpah,
Kaya-raja,
Aku minta tulang,
Minta pandang,
Minta iching,
Minta perening.

Awak ka kami mudah bulih duit, bulih ringgit,
Bulih padi, bulih puli,
Bulih reta, bulih tengkira,
Bulih setawak, bulih menganak.
Ngambi ka kami jelai rita, manah nama,
Nuchong baka bukit Rabong menoa,
Tinggi baka langit nungkat neraja,
Terang baka pandang bulan purnama.

Nya alai dinga ka kangau anak mensia, kangau anak uda,
Minta tulong, minta sukong kita.

Oooooohoi !!!

Lastly, wishing you all Selamat Hari Gawai 2012 from me and my family..remember, don't drink and drive friend...PEACE!

Funnytician

He’s one of my favourite politician…Why? Because he’s the funniest politician in Malaysia as far as I know. General election is coming soon and I stumbled upon his funniest quotes while searching for “corruption dams”, “taib’s wealth”, “smelter project”,”mong dagang cancelled a welfare assistance and government subsidy to an OKU”, “masing: JANGAN LAWAN TOWKAY”, etc..:)

Back to Samy vellu, let me share his famous quotes with you all…

1. Samy Velu menyebut berkenaan Pos Laju:
“Besoh kirim, hari ini juga sampai”

2. Dalam berita TV apabila beliau cuba untuk memberitahu dia berasa amat malu:
“Ini prekara sangat memalukan saya dan kemaluan saya sangat-sangat la besar”

3. Samy berkata dalam salah satu ceramah:
“Kita akan bina satu jambatan wuntuk worang2 kampong di sini.” Kemudian seorang pakcik bertanya, “Datuk, sini takde sungai, buat apa bina jambatan?” Dan kemudian Samy dengan megahnya menjawab, “Kalao takde sungai, kita bina sungai”

4. Kenyataan paling digemari oleh Samy dalam berita abad ini:
“Toll naik sikit, banyak marah saya. You worang ingat semua ini toll saya punyer bapah punya kah!”

5. Ketika krisis air:
“Semua worang diminta jangan membuang aiyerr!”

6. Berkenaan masalah sosial:
“Worang2 muda sekarang banyak suka hisap dade”

7. Ketika program derma darah di Sungai Siput:
“Marilah kita semua menderma dare”

8. Ucapan selamat datang dalam kebanyakan majlis beliau:
“Selamat datang saudara-mara semua” (Ia sepatutnya “saudara-saudari”)

9. Ketika isu Al Arqam hangat diperkatakan, beliau berkata dalam satu sidang akhbar:
“Saya gumbira bahawa didapati tiada pemuda MIC terlibat dalam kes Arqam”

10. Di satu majlis pembukaan sebuah bangunan baru:
“Mempersilakan Datin Paduka Rafidah Aziz naik dari pentas wuntuk membuka kain”

Dan tentunya yang paling kelakar di dunia sepanjang zaman ialah:

“Kita akan bina roket pigi matahari.” Salah seorang wartawan berkata, “Tapi Datuk, matahari terlalu panas untuk didekati.” Samy menjawab, “Itu tade masalah. Kita hantar waktu malam”

Hahahahaha…LOL..

At the barber shop

A common sight...LOL!

Folding for peace

This is a stunning garden in Nagasaki, Japan, as part of a project called ‘folding for peace’, commissioned by the Gardening World Cup. It was completely made up of hand folded flowers and took 15 people two weeks to make.

The message behind the garden is based on a Japanese legend that promises a wish, such as long life recovery from illness or injury, to anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes and so ‘the folding for peace garden is the physical remain of a wish for world peace’, at the same time it shows that you don’t need a high budget to create something beautiful.

This project was designed by Anouk Vogel, a Swiss architect in Amsterdam…cool eh...:) 

Love my Dad!

One of my favourite song during my childhood goes like this, "Bapaku pulang dari kota, bapaku belikan kereta...". Here's one of the best example...


Let's sing together....Bapaku pulang dari kota, bapaku belikan .....err...?

*chirp chirp chirp....

Hahaha..share this if you love your dad...

AJARR 2011

Hai all..well last night I had a great moment when I had the opportunity to witness AJARR 2011 at Dewan Suarah Sibu. The atmosphere was unbelievable and as an Iban I’m very proud to see such event takes place to celebrate the best artist in Sarawak. The photos that I’ve been taken weren’t in high resolution but nonetheless, I hope you’re satisfied with it…

(Iban mode…)

Ngagai semua bala peminat ti nyukung industri musik iban tang enda bepeluang meda AJARR 2011, tu sekeda ari gambar ti sempat diambi aku…ngarap ka kita bepuas ati enggau sekeda gambar di baruh tu…   

they were the first to arrive...

DJ M.A of Cats FM...

other artists showing their support... 

Red carpet event...

opening act from Masterpiece with their winner's song, SINU...

awaiting the final result...

Melissa Francis won Best vocal and Most popular song awards...

Rickie bagging third place of most popular song...

Lucy M won second place behind Melissa of most popular song...

Best performance goes to Ethnic Transmission...

Sadly, no photo from Best song award (Hevance) because a mentally retarded woman suddenly stood up, screaming and waving her hand while showing her big b**t in front of us (when the winner was announced)! (geez, thanks for blocking us idiot!)   

Seidup Sekunsi

Whoa! Couldn’t find a suitable word to describe my life this week..It’s so intense, hectic, muscle strain, dehydrated, etc. but again, it’s worth it. The pain that I endured for the past two weeks has come to an end, with two gold medals..:) (*grinning from ear to ear…).

 Anyway, I couldn’t update my blog as regularly as I want cause I’m still busy with my work lately. Nevertheless, my artistic side has showed up and I manage to compose my own song (albeit my average voice). This is an Iban song, strictly for bedroom complete with my amateur video. I hope you enjoy it and please leave a comment. Thank you readers!

p/s: puke at your own risk...hahahaha..LOL!
