The Last Day of Work is Here! 17.12.2010

The long awaiting day is here. How do I felt? Sad to leave my dear friends and colleagues and at the same time happy as I am looking forward to relax and unwind, need to give myself a good rest; it was overall a mixture of feelings, there were huggs and shaking of hands.... received well-wishers from friends and colleagues telling me to be positive, look at the bright side of life, there will be more opportunities out there... friends told me opportunity comes when you least expect it!

My Last Days with SSDM Team 10 - 16.12.2010

Last Friday morning 10.12.10, I was given a 'surprise Farewell Breakfast' by SSDM (Sub-Surface Data Management) Team at LBI-East Wing Office, Lutong. Initially, I told my colleague (Liz) I do not want any farewell, because I want to leave quietly ...... but then... Anyway, am so happy they did; as I was so happy to received a Farewell Gift from the Team, which made me forget the sadness of leaving my good colleagues and friends, a friendship that I've built throughout my 3 years service with the team. When I saw the paperback of Vantage, I can't wait for Chia (Team Lead) to complete his speech, was so excited and smiles all through the simple gatherings. Chia, thanked my service and contribution to the team, wish that I have a brighter future outside Shell. Pictures were taken by my supervisor D.M.

Farewell Gift from SSDM Team was presented by Team Lead, Chia MF.

Indu Iban Moden

Indu iban kemaia ari tu ke ada serta besai ba negeri... bisi pemandai, bisi kerja, bisi laki, bisi anak, bisi rumah, bisi kereta, bisi bisnes, bisi hinpun, iPhone, iPod (eh, mcmx2 semua ada); bisi pemajik....semua utai pemisi ke bisi bangsa indu bukai ke dalam duniatu bisi magang, nadai kurang... kira ke setanding meh kitai indu iban enggau indu bangsa bukai.... Sapa madah kitai indu iban tinggal ari bangsa bukai... ko aku indu kitai iban bisi agik kelebihan ari bangsa indu bukai dalam dunia tu. Pesan berat, kitai indu iban mesti ngeran ke budaya idup kitai iban taja kitai udah ba 21st Century, ka nemu lapa uji peda contoh ke nyata di peda aku.

Bekebun

Aku bisi siko kaban kami ngangau ke iya "mama Nunut", nemu aja bakani pronouciation kitai iban, manahx2 nama anak di beri Jeannette, tau nyadi "nunut"... udah ga anak iya tu cute serta pandai dalam skula ko kaban aku nya nusoi. Aku tu rindu amai meda Mama Nunut tu, udah ga cantik, bisi degree in HR, gawa ba semi-private company (enda tau padah ke nama kumpeni) nyaga nama iya, bisi anak indu 4 orang, cantikx2 baka mummy iya. Taja iya ngemuan degree, bisi kerja tang iya enda baka indu bukai ke kerja beguna ke "sarbis" amah... iya empu mengemas, mersi rumah iya..(rumah iya pun super-clean); dah lah pandai memasak selain ari pandai memasak, ti bisi masa lapang seduai Papa Nunut mesti ke kebun, 45 minutes drive from Miri. Hasil ari tanaman seduai, nya ke jual seduai iya, eeeehhhh lumayan ga ulih kena meli bantes ko iya.. (dah tu ila, ngantik musim durian enggau buah dabai, iya ka madah ke gengx2 ibukx2 bantes ngambik durian enggau buah dabai) aku enggau "Kesulai" aja meh enda enggau orang makai buah durian... kami duai makai buah dabai aja ila. Paling best maia jam "ngetau" harvest.. Mama Nunut mesti terjun ke umai enggau orang ngetau... (aruh beras diatu majak mar, laban org bisi degree ngetau diatu) hehehe jako tundie kami enggau iya... honestly, I salute and give my respect to Mama Nunut who is humble and possess a pleasant personality.

Tu iya "Mama Nunut" maia official dinner, tetap bedandan, cantik bergaya, udah ga tinggi, tubuh numbas iya, enda gemuk enda kurus, tambah enggau senyum cukup manis.... tu meh indu iban penundi, aruh Papa Nunut sayau amai ke bini iya tu.. hehehehe

Bepantang

Siko da kaban @ cuzen aku, sama bisi pemandai serta pemajik, bisi kerja tetap, gawa ba kumpeni minyak terbilang ke bisi lambang "kerubong tekuyung". Cuzen aku tu cukup minat meli serta ngumpul pinggai mangkuk Bantes (barux2 tu iya baru pulai ari KL, ngangkut barang bantes ngamx2 benong SALE), baka kaban aku sikO kangau ke kami "Mama Tupai". Gamal seduai pan serupa, kada enda menyadi, kureng pasti... Masa lapang pulai kerja, laban ke nadai lisin "bejegau", iya nyimpan minat ngaga pua tampung seribu enggau cross-stitch kena mandak ke masa. Sida inik kelia, bisi ga bepantang, ke temu aku sebelah lengan, bisi ga peda aku ba rekong... motif pantang kelia.. ti enda tulisan, bungai terung. Kemaia ari tu, it's in the trend ti orang indu bepantang tang laban ke udah moden, pantang sida ke indu, mostly ba (just below on their right-left shoulder, ba nape, ba punggung, ba betis, ba angkelet), ba rekong bedau bisi peda aku (engka meh aku ila hahaha); kira ke nampak seksi sida bepantang ba partx2 tuboh sida nya. Aku tu laban ke takut ke jarum, kira minat meda aja, tang enda berani... sayau ke kulit, parai ti salah pantang, ukai nyamai di erase .. laba aja meh! Ari iya ke udah ngaga pantang kesulai, nama iya di pindah ke kami Mama Kesulai. Apax2 pun aku tetap salute ngagai Kesulai laban berani mantang tuboh diri... ti kelia, orang laki bepantang laban udah ngayau, tanda berani..amai ke enda, ninga cerita orang tuai. (peda kita gambar pantang cuzen aku tok,cantik kan? senjilis me, apa boleh buat, takut enggau jarum)

Tu iya "Mama Kesulai" beposing alax2 Latin, nurun dinner , taja iya bisi pantang, tapi iya tetap nampak anggun, sopan, manis baka indu iban.. i like! (enda baka org indu sekeda, meda diri bisi pantang alo baka indu samseng, enggai amai mata aku meda, minta ampun auk ukai niat ka nganu sapax2)

Enda amai ko kita wai, pemajik indu iban anang ngelaban (sigi natural beauty) tang kelebihan kitai ari bangsa indu bukai, especially sida ke nemu pengawa bekebun (sayur, buah, lada, sawit), nangkal getah, beumai taun, ni ke nemu nganyam raga, tikai, betenun pua kumbu, ngajat, betaboh, bepantang (bepantang tu exception, kira semua bangsa indu ke berani, enda meh indu kitai iban ka tinggal ari bangsa bukai), sida tu meh patut nyadi "role-model" ngagai bala anakx2 indu (the new generation), they should continue the legacy! We should feel proud that we are born as an iban, we are better off from other races in terms of bekebun, beumai, main asal, as we are blessed ari penatai asal kitai (rumah panjai) ari nya kitai nemu pengelandik, di peturun ari sida niang aki & inik. Arap ke indu iban kemaia ari tu, no matter how moden, ngemuan pemandai bisi diploma, degree, PhD, whatever profession kitai indu iban (either in corporate world, business or politics) ba mata dunia, we should uphold and project our real identity by not forgetting our origins and bring that special identity to the world.
Let the new generation (indu iban) move forward and dare to be different from other women globally.

Newborn Baby Boy - 5.10.2010

After work on Thursday evening (7.10.2010), I went to visit one of my close friend, who gave birth to a healthy baby boy at MGH weigh 2.8kg, thru' C-section on 5th October 2010. Her 2nd child after 11 years gap. Not an easy delivery.. anyway, praise the Lord, she made it. Baby and my friend are safe and sound, both are in pink of health.

The proud daddy receiving newlyborn baby to the family. Nemu amai iya ngintu baby peda aku, iya meh masak ke bini iya lemai nya, sedOp ga lauk di sumai tudah tuai.. laban ke bam ampit nyepi lauk hehehehe

Happy to hear the birth of newborn babies, at least after hearing the bad news the whole week I can smile looking at the newborn baby, "bisi pemati, bisi ga pengidup di beri Tuhan", 3 berita pemati, 3 baby ga ada ba dunia tu... hmmmmmm God is Fair!

Heartiest Congrats! to Emily & hubby Abat on the arrival of the newborn baby boy to the family. May God bless the newborn baby, proud parents and his steps-siblings. from iEg & loved ones.
