Happy Gawai Dayak Gayu Guru Gerai Nyamai
Date above was the time i celebrated my Gawai at my sister-in-law's longhouse in a small nice town call "Marudi". My first time ever going to Marudi despite had been living in sarawak and was raise but still after so long only this time i managed to travel to this lovely town
Who knew spending my Gawai there would be fun as i expected and getting to know the people there whom are very friendly to one another and thus, very obedient i have ever seen in my entire trip to many longhouses
i would like to take this opportunity to give my million thanks and apologies for my doings and will like to say nice meeting new people that be friend me there. Your company was worth having me there!!
Furthermore, i would like to welcome the family who came all the way from Malacca, (i hope you're reading this) who manage to witnessed the magnificent of Gawai celebration for the very first time and also Kelly's daughter Chloe (correct me if i'm wrong in spelling your names) who won 1st runner up in participating the Kumang Gawai by wearing the Gawai traditional dress.
Welcome to Sarawak and welcome to Marudi to all of you.
Enjoy the pictures below with captions i put on it'll be a lot i can
promise you that only time is all i need to do the uploading and
blogging. Enjoy everyone!

| Gawai eve where everyone from their rooms will walked from one end to other end and is served with "tuak" as a fee for passing thru their rooms then joined together which makes the increase number of followers as well as the music instrument is carried together and played while walking |
 |
| You can't run from the fee!! |
 |
| Playing the instruments or not, you still got to pay the fee |
 |
| Aahoy upfront! we're coming! |
 |
| Even the pretty ladies of the longhouse joined forces to pay the fee. Talk about girls power :D |
 |
| Two can play this game by serving to one person at a time |
 |
| Carried and played by the "boy band" |
 |
| Drink up!! No escaping |
 |
Despite it is called Gawai celebration but not to forget other cultures
by wearing their traditional dress by one of our finest lady here |
 |
Once they walked to the end, now they have to walk back and again another round of fee is given to return home.
That is why some never return home because they was unable to pay the fee and therefore, they "dropped" (If you know what i mean xp) |
 |
Here are towards the end of the fee but they need to face the fee of "returning home"
Sorry for the last post up being busy XP
