Gawai 2009

This will probably be my last year celebrating Gawai with my foster family in Rumah Ampik. We had another Gawai visiting this year with Gerain and 7 other guys. It was an early morning visiting and it ended at about 1pm with a few of us tipsy and a few of us drunk.

...taken before more tuaks and beers...

Met Tuai Rumah and his wife and other relatives in the longhouse. It was sad to know that Uncle Simon met with an accident last year and was in a long coma until recently and his wife passed away just a month ago. He barely remember us but he was there, sitting and chatting with us.

...looooook! tuaks and food!...

We were brought to perform a ceremony and OMG~! they gave us tobacco leaf to eat!!! It was horrible! and there goes our drinking session. We were served with three different types of beer, lots of tuak and pure Label 5. 

...a part of the ceremony...

...all of us had to turn this chicken around for 7 times...

Lucky us that we managed to leave half way through the visit because one by one started to get drunk... *thanks to that guy who basically got all of us drunk during our first visit*

...the chicken that we all turned it 7 times...

It was a great visit and it was great indeed to be back home in Rumah Ampik.
Hope to have another visit sometime in the future.
