tawau in May..



as far as you all know, this whole week im spending my time back at my hometown in tawau.
it was a great place actually.how i miss all this time to come back once again to this town (since i hv another 'kampong' to going back).

as it is school break, tawau become happening again. why im saying this bcoz May is the month for ceremony. Once u'll get here, u'll find that everywhere there's people busy doing the preparation for wedding n kenduri. dont b surprise if u received 5 to 6 invitation in one day. everybody seems to take this opportunity to make their kenduri. As tawau peoples name it, kenduri "naik ayun", "gunting rambut","bsunat"..the ceremony just like one in KL but here uniquely there are many races applied their different cultures.

"Bugis" of course is the major group in tawau. basically they origin is from indonesia. they hv their own language but they can speak n understand malay in daily. Other than that there are races like banjar, jawa, tidong, suluk, brunei, buton, timur, tator, bajau.

Speaking about wedding ceremony, my cousins who actually twins had their wedding day with their soul-partner. The wedding lasting for about 3 days, started from friday for the "nikah", saturday for "makan2" at the bridegroom's house n sunday at the bride side.

Having their wedding, all of our family busy with the kenduri. n thats coz me so tired for a couple of days. The trip for the holiday isn't be restful as ever. But it is ok coz there'll be a time where im the one who'll be serve just like one they hv now.wondering when it be..

p/s : tired of listening ppl's asking,"so when is ur turn?".hurm..
