HI-TEA WITH SENATOR DORIS S BRODIE (04.04.2010)

Last Sunday evening @4:30 p.m., I and other PRS Women was invited to have Hi-Tea with the newly appointed Senator Doris S Brodie to her home at Emerald Gold, Senadin, Miri. When we reached there, we were welcomed by Senator with a smile and immediately feel at home. Her home has the touch of simplicity but elegant with modern decorations.

Since, it's Easter day, the Senator wants PRS women in Miri to get together to have Hi-Tea with her to celebrate Easter and to get close rapport among PRS Women who resides in Northen Region. She talked about the coming PRS TDC in Bintulu, her contributions to the party, her agenda for the coming months. No matter how busy she is, I believes she still have the time to take good care of her beauty and health, and that is why she still look young and healthy; that evening her fingernails were manicured and painted in pink color; she dressed in simple brown cheongsam blouse and pants. I can see that she's a busy woman and very dedicated to her work; fully with energy organising party activities despite of her age, she travels frequently to interior areas of Sarawak to accompany PRS Leaders.

Pictures taken that evening, varities of food served on her dining table for us to choose.

As we continue to eat and drink coffee, soft drinks were also served to us. She shared her experience meeting with Tan Sri Dr Jins Shamsuddin, how she admired him as very humble person and at the age of 70 years, he's still in good shape, and just recently got his doctorate. Senator Doris referred him as "James Bond M'sia".. when we recalled his movie those days. So, I ask Senator if she meets up with Tan Sri Dr Jins, please take photo with him as remembrance. "Yes" ko Senator I'll do that ti sda bisi meeting at Hse of Parliment. More photos taken.

After sesi "mengauk food", we ate our food at the cosy backyard of her house. Love her gate, nicely decorated with stones like peebles (bigger ones).

Before we head for home, Senator mai bala kami ke bisi datai, begambar group Photo.. aaah, nadai kala nulak ti pasal begambar.. on! on! aja, lebih agik enggau Senator, bila agik ko kitai. hehehe
Honoured to be invited by the Senator to have Hi-Tea with her, and I took the opportunity to pose with Senator Doris S. Brodie. Very lovely, friendly and big-hearted woman, with a vision who wants to see dayak women to be successful in life at par with other women globally in the near future. She also mentioned there will be a Woman Seminar to be held sometimes in August, organise by PRS Exco Women. Venue have not been decided yet, but most likely in Sibu so that people from Kuching, Sarikei, Miri, Limbang can come for the seminar.


I felt indeed very fortunate to have Hi-Tea with Senator; and being a 2nd iban lady after Datuk Paduka Empiang Jabu being appointed as Senator in Sarawak. Knowing that not eveybody get the chance to dine, talk, laugh with a "Senator", she doesn't mind me calling her Doris, and she refer me as "wai", humble yet very elegant; I must say she deserves the Senatorship.
Dear Senator, "Heartiest Congratulations on your appointment as Senator, May God bless you with good strength and wisdom to carry out your work as Senator to bring good will and transformation to Dayak women in rural as well in urban areas". Thank you once again for inviting me. iEg.
