the little kadazan girl

 Muka baru bangun masa di kampung

This little girl has majority Kadazan blood and a little bit of Chinese blood.
Most of the Kadazan people looks like Chinese because they have fair skin.
Mommy no, mommy is hitam manis :) 

Daddy is so and so...

 I don't know if I could be labelled as a Sabahan since I was born in Kuala Lumpur,
but mommy said I am always a Sabahan, and to be precise, a Kadazan by race.
That means, I cound enter the Unduk Ngadau contest,
Unduk Ngadau is a beauty pageant contest and you could see a lot of the native sabahan girls with their beautiful traditional costumes, that usually take place in the month of May, every year.

 

 I recently went back for daddy's youngest sister's wedding and I got the chance to wear my traditional costume. My costume is actually modified, I loved that baju and refused to change it with the gown that mommy ironed that morning.

 With Kakak Anna

 With Jon-Jon, my first cousin

 

Daddy and her favorite girl!!

The baju is made from 100% velvet, and super hot when you are under the sun, but somehow I survived with that baju until that evening, I even visited the buffalo in the evening, and had the sense of feeling like gadis kampung.

Peace no war!!

first time on board

I was at my parents hometown, that happened 2 weeks ago.

Mom's youngest grand-aunt had passed away; so dad, mom & I had to rush back to KK.
The trip was not our plan, it's God's plan.
Somehow we're scheduled to visit my parents hometown in September.

It was my first experience on board the plane and I was so delighted.
Such an expensive experience which had forced me to get up as early as 4.00am in order to catch the 6.50am flight.

Onton and Memex could smell that we're going to leave them with uncle laling. Onton was looking at mom with her straight face and gently lay down next to me on the bed... she was so sad... We are like siblings, and sharing the same parents. Mommy keeps on telling them these:

"Onton, Mex, mam, dadi sama charm2 balik kampung dulu kio..."
"Onton, jangan manja sangat kio, jangan mo minta makan suap sija kio..."
"Onton, makanan ada di freezer kio, minta uncle laling kasi panas kio..."
Onton this...Onton that... as if that girl can understand her...sigh...

On top of that, Mom also worried about this little me...

mom : non, charm2 ok ka ni ah?
dad : ok bah tu dia...
mom : nanti telinga dia sumbat macam mana? sakit ooo tu...
dad : kasi hisap dia nenen sija nanti...

I don't know... I really don't know about how the two and half hours going to be like.
Bapa Tua and Mama Tua sent us to LCCT. I couldn't sleep as I was so excited!
Upon check-in, our luggage had exceeded the limit, mom was trying to be nice to the lady at the check-in counter... useless tricks!


In the plane...

Mom was putting me close to her chest, so that I won't be in shocked when the plane departs..

but i refused, nothing to be scared mom, I am HAPPY!!!

the 'multitasking' table

I hardly sleep along the journey as I was busy looking around and offered my sweetest smiles to everybody, even the stewardess likes me and keep on smiling at me hehe...

what is out there?!!

We touched down safely at 9.15am. Thank God for the safe journey.

KK panas la dadi!!!

Dad and Mom sent me to nenek and akung at Boliga, Kolopis.
They then went off straight to the funeral.

Me.Alone.Now.Oh.With.My.Grandparents.How.Can.I.Take.This?!!

*GULP*

I will update you later.
