Back

Im back from my 4 days and 3 nights stay at kampung :)

Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos during Gawai but I did had fun ^^

On the 30th, I had Frog Soup for dinner. Its been years since I ate any frogs. They should skinned it first before they cook it though. I find the frog's skin to be rather disgusting XD. Mommy didn't even bother touching that dish. She said she don't really like the idea of eating frogs. 

On the 31st, I had Laksa for breakfast. Mommy made them. She woke up around 5 a.m. to prepare the ingredients. I don't remembered what I ate for lunch. Maybe there aren't any strange food that they cooked therefore, it don't make any impact on my mind XP At night, we had a barbecue. There's barbecue chicken wings, porks, prawns and fishes. A lot of people came to Grandpa's house and they weren't leaving until Mommy told them to do so around 3 a.m. Most of them were drunk. The whole night I was partially awake and asleep because the noise of people talking were so loud. 

On Gawai...well, this year I noticed there's no biscuits. Only layered cakes, sweets, peanuts, preserved fruits and flavoured achovies were available. Its a bit quiet this year because Sis and my aunt couldn't make it. Sis had to attend her part time job while my aunt (just married recently) brought Grandma and Grandpa together with her to Kapit to meet their new family. So, its pretty quiet.

Today, my family and I went back to Kuching. Before heading off, we had Wild Boar Soup for lunch. Around noon, Grandma and Grandpa came back from Kapit. Upon arriving Grandma told all of us about her adventure. She said there's no running water, no telephone line and of course no electricity available. They had to use generators to produce electricity at night. The weather was so hot during the day (no electricity = no fans) that she can feel like dying on the spot. The road to go to the village was horrible too. She continued by saying she don't wanna go there ever again XD
