"What’s your race?"
"Iban"
Well, that question has always been a hard one for me. Yeah rite I’m iban but everytime one sees my name…which sounds more like the a name that originates somewhere from the ancient days of Parameswara or Puteri Gunung Wateva. Orite, orite, I’m not pure Iban…I’m MIXED..all messed up. Apparently, I am a Batak(heard of it?), i forgive u of your poor ecological knowledge. It’s a race from Sumatera, Indonesia…and yes, I’m partly Indon!! Wish I could speak my native language and prove it to you.Tapi, wa behiau kong laaa…(grandma biologically Chinese).
So, the story of the week….Yahooooo…I have indulged myself in Iban Culture. Wow..Improved my iban language, knowledge…and everything Iban dat u can imagine. Thanks to my dear fren Jennifer who’s doing her research on the Iban subject. It was a priviledge to be able to assist her with the research. I can’t believe dat I had NEVER…everrrr dressed up in Iban costume…apalagi Batak costume…Gi mana ya…? haiii….when will i have the chance to do dat?? Growing up…I don’t exactly have a cultural identity..However, I am happy with wat I am. I guess in this way, I learned to adapt to any culture,race,.. without feeling dat racial sensitivity..I’m totally immuned to dat.
Aku deka jako Iban tu, hehhe tu meh 1st time aku tulis dalam Iban ba blog aku. ehe..testing jak. Aku suka meda motif tatoo Iban nya…mayoh design Iban manah2. Tapi urang Iban nadai nemu promote ngau mengembangkan design sidak…Huopully (hopefully), muor (more) iban pipal (people) will appreciate la..the iban culcha (culture) in the iban cuomiunitei (community).

Wow…I’m Soooo IBAN rite Now…wooh
