Community Dinner @ Eastwood Valley 21.5.2010

PRS Main Body secretary Edwin, sms me early Friday morning. In his sms, he told me I was invited to a dinner at Eastwood Valley at 8:00 p.m.. So, I replied him and asked him, "are you serious? are you sure it's 8:00 p.m., normally dinner starts at 6:30 pm or 7:00 p.m.; not 8:00 p.m.!" So, he told me "very sure, it is 8:00 p.m. according to the program and the Guest of Honor is the Chief Minister of Sarawak. Dalam ati ku din pu neh! nama last minute madah ke aku, dini bisi time agai salon or facial... usually I go for facial at least 2 days before and to salon a day before the dinner, so that my face and hair will look natural. Udah ga baru ok cimit ga coughing tudah aku, gamal nyau terberunsai asai laban ke sakit lebih seminggu, kurang tinduk!!

Thank God it was "Work Hard Play Hard" Friday, at least I can go back after lunch hour. Around 2:30 p.m. keluar ari office and fetch my eldest son, then we went for lunch at our fav. food court. Datai rumah around 3:40 p.m. main sekejap with my nephew as he was there, then at 5:00 p.m..I quickly go thru' my closet so picked kebaya organge color and ironed the Kebaya and took a sarong that match the Kebaya; get all the necessary accessories ready to match with the outfit, at 6:00 p.m. go for a quick shower, then dressed & make-up for the evening. At 7:30 p.m. drove to Eastwood Valley, reached there at 7:50 p.m.. datai din akaiiiiiii penuh kereta mensia.. "apOOOO amai maioh org datai dinner tok ko dalam ati ku din", duhal bisi concert ga at the same time, aku di asuh bala org ke nyaga lalu-lintas drive straight-in to the end of Eastwood Valley, datai at the end baru ku perasaan, nama meh sda ngasuh aku drive kitu??, sedangkan aku attending dinner, so I turned back to the one-way road... enda peduli, I just drove out, so the car coming in have to give way to me... sempat ga aku ngano sda ke nyaga jalai lalu-lintas ke betugas, laban meri ku salah jalai, nyau kelam-kabut sida mutar ke kereta aku keluar ari parking area ke sempit penuh enggau kereta.. at last I got my way out then manage to find parking space not far from the main entrance to Eastwood Valley, so much parking space ko dalam ati ku din. Datai din ngamx2 CM pun sama datai time aku... so sempat ga aku betabik jari enggau semua VVIP Guest malam nya (geli ati kediri aja nyadi meh betabik enggau bala VVIP, tepeda ke Dtk Yaw Teck Seng nyau bekena ke "mask" baka gamal org jaie) hahahaha then I went upstairs to the Ballroom to look for my PRS geng!

My daughter Elizabeth's Sweet 16th Birthday - 18 May 2010

It's was like yesterday, I gave birth to my precious baby girl which I've been wanting so much to have. Born at 3:30 pm @ Chin Fook Maternity Clinic, Miri. Before her birth I've already chose two names to be given to her it's either Eugenie Nicollette Rinie or Elizabeth Natassja Rinie. Initially, I wanted to name her as Eugenie Nicollette Rinie but then few days before her birth, I dreamt, my mom wants me to name her as Elizabeth Natassja Rinie... so that's how she got her name. At home and close friends called her "Chill" being the youngest of 3 siblings.

Last Tuesday, was her sweet sixteen birthday, she doesn't want me to celebrate lavishly, just a simple with close family members is all she wanted. Laban ke benong sakit, nasip ga my mom & sister came and prepared the food for the night. Nowadays youngsters prefer to go out with their friends to movie, pinics, fast-food etc. to celebrate. But me being very conservative bought her a simple cake to mark her sixteen birthday and told her to go out with her friends on the weekends.

Udah belagu birthday, make a wish alo cake cutting. Then we had our dinner before my mom and my sister and family went back to Bakas, Sibuti. Happy amai my mom meda uchu kesayangan iya udah dara.... ari umur iya 2 taun mak aku nyaga, ngintu nganjung iya nurun skula sampai adik Cumi, Gilchrist born last year; my mom have to leave my home and be with my sister. More photos.

My mom and her 5 grandchildren, and my mom who just turned 65 years old on 15 May. I'm so blessed that she was with me through "thick and thin" bringing up my 3 children. There's no words for me to express my heartfelt appreciation on her kindness, love, caring and financial towards me and my children. My children really loves her tho' they do argue with her especially my two teenage sons.. I certainly can't live without my mom, she's everything to me. May our Heavenly Father continue to bless her with good health and long life. Amen.
My three teenage children (Boboy, Junior and Chill) with their cutieee cousins Cumi and Gigil(sister's children).

Early that evening, Papa called to wish her Happy Birthday and reminded her to study hard and achieve a good results.

Before retire to bed that night, I said a little prayer, thanking God for giving me a wonderful daughter which I'm very proud of her achievements in school and being an obedient child at home and who believes in Jesus Christ as her Saviour; and prayed that Lord Jesus will continue to bless her with good health, success in her studies and a bright future. Mommy wants you to know that I loves you so dearly my little princess, you''ll always a "baby" to me! muuaaahhssss & kissess from Mommy with love!

Minggu Debaran (Elimination Day!) and Happy Teachers Day - 16.05.2010

Last Thursday (13th May) we had our forth-nightly Team Meeting, and during the meeting our Team Lead announced that there will be elimination of contractor staffs from Subsurface Team. There are 5 of us.. R.A, Wan T. M.JK, Z.MT and myself. Asai ke masuk dalam reality show meh kami 5, siko ari kami 5 ka di eliminate company. Monday tu ila, bisi meeting enggau Team Lead Mr Chia M.F.. pasal Timesheet, Operation Reporting enggau Critierion of Redundancy of Contract Staffs. Sebedau masuk kami 3 sda Matt, Zarina ka humming lagu "Menuju Puncak" alo membayangkan siti luggage depan kami, ngirit nya pulai, asai dlm Akademi Fantasia pulak... Best of luck to all of us this coming Monday!

Well, as for me I just leave it to our Heavenly Father, I pray that whatever happens, God our Heavenly Father knows what's best for His Children. Like my "suluati" advise me, whatever the decision maybe, just receive it with open heart and believe there's a blessing in disguise if I were to be chosen, if I'm not, then Prasie the Lord for his blessings and goodness. Thank you sweetheart for giving me an assurance, I know you'll always be there for me in good and bad times as you had promised.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish Happy Teacher's Day (Sunday, 16th May 2010) to my sister Meggie, my brother-in law Tony and my sister-in law Linda... May all of you continue to teach and guide your students to be someone great and successful!

May God continue to bless all of you and all the teachers out there.

2ND WEEK OF MAY 2010

My busy, busy week & weekends prior to Gawai Dayak Celebration.

Last Thursday (6th May), took my old good friends Floria Baun who was on vacation to Miri, to dined at Barcelona and Linda, three of us went out together.. So many to talk about, sharing our personal life as we have not met with one another for more than 2 years or more especially Floria who marries to an American and resides at Texas. Floria stills look the same, slim as ever, and our friend Linda at last have found a life partner , me and Floria are happy for her.

On Friday (7th May) took a day leave, as I had to do personal errands esp. on the new home. That evening me and daughter went to dine at New Seafood Tanjong, we had a simple and light meals. Maia makai, bisi tepeda ke keta parking nicely not far from our table, it's my dream car... Toyota Mark X 300G series white color! It's so sporty and elegant! (dream, dream...)

Saturday morning (8th May), woke up quite late in the morning, rush to send my daughter to Dynasty Hotel to attend the Dayak Students Excellence Awards Presentation Ceremony cum Sustaining Excellence Workshop in conjuction with Miri Divisional Gawai Dayak Celebration for 2010. My daughter was one of the PMR recipient to receive the Award. This year is the biggest number of Dayak students scored Straight A's. Happy to hear that each year Dayak students are improving and hopefully we Dayak will be at par with other races in the country. The workshop was conducted by Mr Marcus Raja. The Motivational Talk was from Dr Roland Dom Mattu and by the Guest of Honor YB Lihan Jok. I hope my daughter and those who attended gain valuable knowledge and inspired by the message given by Dr Roland Mattu and YB Lihan as they spoke on their personal experience as a student and how they succeed in life and became a role model to the young generation. Hope that more Dayak students will follow their footsteps.

After the Award presentation Ceremony ended, all the students were given a coupon to have lunch at Dynasty Hotel. After my daughter had a light lunch, we went to Secret Receipe as I had not taken my lunch. My daughter had chocolate walnut cake and milk shake, I had Beef lasagnae and Ice Lemon Tea.



In the evening me and family members with few friends attended the Gawai Dayak celebration at Dewan Suarah, we bought table number 74. This year the Gawai Dayak Divisional Celebration was hosted by Org Ulu, the Guest of Honor who came was Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Jabu and the Patron was Datuk Jacob, but he was not able to attend. As usual Highlight of the Gawai Dayak Celebration was the Kumang (Iban & Bidayuh), Keligit (Org Ulu) and Keling (Iban & Org Ulu), 6 contestants each from Iban, Bidayuh & Org Ulu community compete. I went home at 12 mid-nite after the Keligit's parade at the stage, can't wait for the announcement, understand Ryan plate number 3 took the Keling Iban's title and Jane plate number 6 won the Kumang's title. Congrats to Ryan and Jane. (nasip sempat posing enggau sduai) hehehe . That nite my kamera battery went low so I could not capture the highlight of the Gawai Dayak Celebration, but I believe other bloggers must have capture it.

My most memorable moment 2010 Gawai Dayak Celebration is to have the opportunity to take one nice pose with Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Jabu; as we welcome him as the Guest of Honor that night.
Sunday, (9th May).. went to scout for Living Room Sofa and Dinning Table for the new home. I love one particular Sofa from Lorenzo, I might take it. (Ngantik approval ari "Bank Negara" @ Menteri Kewangang). Dinning Table, have not decided yet, don't know which one to choose from the two I've selected. (Maybe i'll go for the round one with six seater).

In the evening, we had Mother's Day dinner, it was a simple family gathering at Tmn Tunku, my sister-in law baked a simple cake, and bought few dishes as she had won 4D Sweep that day; she bought the Gawai Dayak Dinner table number (0734).. untung amai!!

To end the weekend, my daughter bought me a nice pink carnation for me as her gift to me on Mother's Day, she bought it a day earlier. My sons just wish me Happy Mother's Day. Boys will always be boys. Thank you my dearest princess Elizabeth, mummy loves the carnation & chocolate, I know you bought it from the bottom of your heart.. (enggai iya madah rega, enda ibOh mummy nemu ko iyO, i just love mummy so much ko iya and wish me Happy Mother's Day, ur the best mum in the world to me ko iya!). mmmmmmmm jako peransang nyO!
