Desa IT 2009 Sarawak [#16]: Kampung Budaya Sarawak [Part 2]

For this next part…we’ll continue on our journey in the ‘village’.. the grand finale was that the organizers have a show for the tourists.. its some sort of a traditional dance.. I forgot what are the names of those dances.. I can hear when they announce it on the speakers.. but I can’t remember the name.. some of it I can’t identify what the organizers said.. anyways.. the show presents some of the tarian kaum bumiputra yg ade di Sarawak nih.. so.. same as before.. aku akan letak gamba je la…hehe.. (^_^)..

Barakallahu Lakuma

Allah memberkati untukmu dan berkat ke atasmu serta mengumpulkan kamu berdua dalam kebajikan.

Desa IT 2009 Sarawak [#14]: Kembara UNIMAS

We then head on to bandar Kuching.. we left Kampung Muara Tebas hoping that maybe someday we will come back.. who knows.. Our destination was UNIMAS or Universiti Malaysia Sarawak.. just so you know.. adela ‘connection’ dgn org2 UNIMAS to be exact PRS arr.. same mcm UPG...so..tu yg melawat tu.. the campus is located just on the outskirts of Kuching.. ia merupakan salah satu IPTA yg ade kat Malaysia ni lah.. kirenye ni first time bagi aku jejak ke IPT nih.. we will be spending a night at their hostel.. bear in mind. .. bile sebut je IPTA.. segala2nya besar.. kebanyakan IPTA kat Malaysia ni kawasan die sangatlah besar.. so.. kawasan hostel die pun byk, besar dan byk bilik.. So.. we reached the compound around 11.30.. kami turunkan beg masing2 dr bas dan berkumpul … after hearing the briefing dr pihak UNIMAS. We head on to our units.. after that we had our lunch and hemat diri lah..

Desa IT 2009 Sarawak [#13]: Sayonara

[..nila umah family angkat aku.. anak2 angkat duk situ ade 4 org termasuk aku..]

[27 Mac 2009]

It was quite bright that morning..the sun is high.. no sign of dark clouds hanging over the sky.. it’s a perfect Friday morning .. sort of.. Today will be our last day at Kampung Muara Tebas.. it has been almost a week and today.. we will depart and move on to our next destination.. we’re not going home yet.. but to go to another place la.. so.. yalah.. it’s the moment where usually akan ade yg menitiskan air mate.. nak berpisah dgn anak angkat.. suasana tu kadang2 mcm pilu sebentar.. its one part.. walaupun ni dah desa IT yg ke 2 dan program seumpamanya yg ke 6 kot.. perasaan tu still adelah.. cumenye kite yelah.. simpan dlm hati..

After packing our things.. we walk on to the dewan.. around 9.. ade jgk yg masih lum sampai.. so.. after a while.. we gathered.. and then klu tak silap aku ketua kampung yg bacekan doa utk slamat jalan.. agar selamat selamat sampai ke destinasi.. so.. after that sesi bergambarlah.. bergambar dgn ahli keluarga angkat.. sementare nak tunggu bas dtg.. bile bas dah sampai.. kami pun ucapkan selamat tinggal kepada penduduk Kg. Muara Tebas..

Desa IT 2009 Sarawak [#12]: Malam Kebudayaan

That night.. all of us convene at the main dewan.. that night.. there will be an event called ‘malam kebudayaan’ or cultural night.. sepanjang aku join program desa IT sblm ni pun.. biasenye mmg akan adelah malam kebudayaan nih.. it’s a one-night event where orang2 kampung akan berkumpul.. dan aka n ada persembahan2 kebudayaan lah.. tarian ke.. zapin ke.. menari ke.. and so onlah.. so.. we start off around 9 I think.. mula2 tu ade bacaan doa.. and then ucapan dari direktor program.. ucapan dr en. Omar sendiri.. dan ucapan dr ketua kampung.. (lupa name daa..).. and then ade persembahan dr pelajar2 mmu sendiri.. mendendangkan tarian zapin.. pastu ade tarian tradisional (pun lupa name tarian tu..) dipersembahkan oleh kaum ibu2 kampung lah… after that ade persembahan dr pelajar2 indonesia dan tarian hindu…

Desa IT 2009 Sarawak [#11]: Sukan-Aneka

So..petang tu.. ade sukaneka.. kat padang.. unfortunately.. because I went to naik bot ronda2 kat sungai sblm tu.. aku datang agak lambat.. by the time aku sampai.. dah start dah.. so.. bile ckp pasal sukaneka ni.. biasela.. ade permainan2 utk budak2.. utk org dewasa pun ade gak.. but mostly.. utk budak2 mcm2 ade.. judging from the picture that I have.. permainan2 yg ade utk budak2 mase tu makan epal gantung, lari ikat tali kat kaki.. pastu cari gula dlm tepung and so on.. and then ade jugak permainan ‘lontar kasih sambutlah sayang’.. yg ni kene main berpasangan… sorang akan berdiri.. lagi sorang akan berdiri lebih kurang jauh 3 meter gitu.. pastu makin lame makin ke belakang.. and then kene baling belon ke udara.. sorang baling..sorang lagi akan tangkap.. begitulah seterusnya sampai belon pecah..

And then ade tarik tali.. kali ni aku dapat join.. yeah!!.. yela..terase dah lame tak main tarik tali.. mule2 kaum perempuan main dulu.. pastu baru kaum lelaki.. the funny thing is.. bile kami tgh tarik tu.. tali terputus!.. mmg agak kelakar gakla.. turns out.. rupenye tali tu tak cukup tebal.. nipis je tgk.. agaknye kaum lelaki ni kuat sgt..tu yg terputus tuh.. hehe..

Nevertheless.. that was the climax.. sebelum bersurai ade sesi penyampaian hamper dan hadiah kpd pemenang2.. after that we all went home.. and then siap2 utk malam kebudayaan pd malam tu..

Desa IT 2009 Sarawak [#10]: Cry Me A River

After I had my lunch.. sorang member aku ni ajak dtg ke umah die menetap.. klu ikut tentatif.. ptg nanti akan ade sukaneka..dan malamnye lak ade malam kebudayaan.. so..sape2 yg terlibat tu tgh buat preparation lah mase tu.. so.. kami yg takde ape2 ni lepak2 jela.. nevertheless.. aku pun pi ke umah die.. tempatnye tu agak jauh di penghujung.. katenye die ajak nak naik bot.. jalan2 kat sungai Sarawak tu.. (klu tak silap aku sungai Sarawak..) memandangkan kedudukan geografi kampung tu di tepi sungai (muara..)..so..family member aku ni mc made botlah.. tak sure lah family angkat die ke.. kenalan die ke.. org dah ajak..aku pun pegi la.. so..kami pi bertige.. salah sorangnye tu foreigner (pak arab).. dan sorang budak.. (adik angkat member aku rasenye kot).. so we head on to the main stream .. and I was amazed on how wide the river is.. I do feel a bit nervous though.. mane tau kan tibe2 karam ke ape.. tapi..dalam hati kate harap2 takde apela..

So..we went on along the river.. our destination was Goebilt.. which was another kampung which took around 30 minutes to ‘drive’ there.. kampung tu pun ade jetinye jugak.. tapi tak turun lah.. just lalu je.. pastu patah balik.. I was told that kalau nak pegi bandar Kuching naik bot lalu sungai tu pun boleh.. cumenye maybe rase lame la kot.. tu je.. anyways.. along the way.. there were many ships.. huge ships. So..it made me think that the river is very deep.. and then we came across this one factory.. nampak mcm kilang arang .. I’m not quite sure actually.. maybe its ‘bitumen’ or what they call it.. the small black-rocks which use for ‘tar-ring’ the road....there we can see how they transport the coal from the ship to the factory using this huge conveyer belts.. after a while we went back.. and get ready for sukaneka…

[..this is the jetty that I meant..]
