For the past few days, I had been travelling around in Miri as much as possible before leaving East Malaysia for good. It did really broke me so fast that my wallet couldn't accept the fact that he's so light.
There is a trip to long house which is organized by Curtin last Saturday. It is good to go where I never been before, but what's best is that it is FREE! Meaning free food and free transportation! =D


Departing at 6am in the morning is a refreshing start for all of us. Having an engine failure due to overheating even makes me more refreshing for sucking in the CO smoke. Therefore, we exchange for another bus and again, we have bus breakdown. We thought it's another engine failure but the driver says no more petrol.
WTF?!

That only makes tougher jobs for guys because we will be pushing the bus. Girls also having rough time because there is no air-conditioner for them to stop sweating.
It was scheduled that we are supposed to be arriving at the long house at 8am and we got to reach at about 3pm.

Upon the arrival, chief and the fellow long houser are welcoming us with open arms despite of the un-punctuality. The chief dance along the long house so that the spirit recognize us. I wonder how many people died in that particular long house?

I heard that Iban is good at bomoh-ing and hangs skull head representing their bravery. It's kinda scary to see that, but then I never any of those. All I can see is humble and friendly Iban people. Bluff people one.

It does seem nice that Iban people are friendly and they are really united as like the whole families in each houses are relatives. They are being so cincai whenever you eat their food. Even you do something nasty like sleeping on their beds also they are very patient.

Unfortunately that after the ride under the hot sun with the sweat smell and dust around your body, you are unable to bathe in their house BUT you're forced to bathe in the RIVER!
Damn it! All I can see is that women were bathing and washing their clothes with detergent and worst of all, men and children peed in the river!
I am so missing the city life.... :(
