A LONG TIME AGO
AS SALAM,
WE WENT TO AN EXHIBITION HELD AT MATIC,KL. IT WAS AN EXHIBITION FROM OUR HOMELAND KNOWN FOR ITS MANY ETHNIC GROUPS WITH ITS SUPERB DISPLAY OF FOOD, MUSIC AND LIFESTYLES.
BEING THE LAST DAY OF THE EXHIBITION, MOST ITEMS WERE SOLD BUT WE DID MANAGE TO SEE A REHEARSAL OF TRADITIONAL DANCE WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE 4 DAYS EXHIBITION AND TO BE SHOWN LATER IN THE EVENING.
AFTER THAT, WE WENT TO THE FOOD STALL AND HAD SOME MEE KOLOK AND LAKSA SARAWAK. AND I WAS SURPRISED BY ONE OF THE STALL FROM THE KELABIT ETHNIC WHO HAPPEN TO SELL NASI BUNGKUS DAUN JUST LIKE MY SCHOOLDAYS. DURING THAT TIME, MY FRIENDS WHO CAME BACK FROM HOLIDAYS WILL BRING THIS SOFT RICE, WRAPPED TIGHTLY USING DAUN BUAN OR THE SOFT UPIH PINANG. AND LAUKNYA IS JUST IKAN MASIN OR IKAN BAKAR OR JUST ANYTHING WHICH IS EDIBLE FROM THE JUNGLE. I CAN STILL REMEMBER THE AROMA OF THIS SPECIAL RICE.
HAVING FRIENDS FROM THESE GROUP IS SO ENTERTAINING. NOT ONLY FOR THEIR FOOD BUT ALSO FOR THEIR MUSIC FROM THE BAMBOO BAND. I REMEMBER SO CLEARLY HOW NEGARAKU, THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IS SUNG ALONGSIDE THE BAMBOO BAND FROM MY MURUD/KELABIT FRIENDS. I AM SO LUCKY TO HAVE KNOWN THESE GROUP OF FRIENDS WHO HAVE TAUGHT ME THAT NO MATTER HOW HARD LIFE IS, WE HAVE TO MOVE ON POSITIVELY.
