To those who want to read but you are not Kayan, I appreciated it so much. My mother tongue language is easy actually ..so enjoy it..

To n-ty Rose (nama gurauan manja nya ialah n-ty Rose Kepak..), my FB frens. Though i never see you in person, but i felt that you have a sincere and beautiful heart.. This song is dedicated to you.
Hope this song will encourage you or maybe to make you smile atleast, to face the days to come.
Engkau Bapa yang mengasihiku Tak Kau pandang bentuk dan rupaku Engkau mengasihiku dengan sepenuh hati Tak pernah sama seperti dunia ini
Engkau Bapa yang mengajariku Melewati badai langit biru Kau yang buatku terbang, bagaikan rajawali Mengatasi segala pencobaan
Reff : Kau Bapaku yang baik Mengerti bahasa tetesan air mata Tak Kau biarkan ku berjalan sendirian S'bab Kau Bapaku yang baik Kau Bapaku yang baik Mengerti bahasa tetesan air mata Tak Kau biarkan ku berjalan sendirian S'bab Kau Bapaku yang baik, Engkau sungguh baik
This morning, as i terserempak dengan kawan sepejabat tapi in different section, I greet him and say "Hi Bishop, how are you? Long time no see.." *We have nickname among closed friend in the office which is believed to have related or synonym to each personality. So we call him Bishop of Kuap :)! To my suprised he answered me; "Not good princess..i have bad news..You know, my friend from my band is gone." When i hear that, my body just feel numb and couldn't speak a word to him.. after few minutes then i said "I am so very sorry to hear that," i said. "Looks like it i have lost 2 friends in one time," says Bishop. After that he tell me the story on how his friends had died after a massive road accident, just after their group had attend a function at Holiday Inn/Grand Margharita. He also ask me to read See Hua Daily News paper that day in order to get clear picture on that accident. I did. I dont have to read the newspaper in order to know the story (plus its in Chinese) but the picture of Bishop's friend who died on the spot during the accident has spoken enough.. I am terrified when i saw the picture. For your information, i ever singing with this band few times. The one who died is the keyboardist - Late Aleng and the late John, the drummer. They called themselves Red Colours. Bishop will be on rythm and the basis which - i forgot the name. Not bad of course and Aleng is one of the best keyboardist i have known. Aleng also is a very down to earth person. Among the members in the band he himself only Malay, but I can see him talk like others, eat together (of course Halal one only), went to the band members house, visit them during Gawai and Christmas like no boundaries. I really solute him on that matters. He speak like others speak, and spoke their language - i mean in term of manner, there is no different...
Actualy we planned to work on one of the song that i have composed one of these days. He also didn't fussy when it come to the payment. He told me last time, "You don't ask about how much you will pay me, just pay me the same like you pay others who did the music for your songs before. Only i care is to produce the music, and of course it must be a good one.."
Now Aleng and the drummer has gone, together with the passions in music, burried with them under the ground. But I sure their memories will remain abide forever, especially to the doers and music lovers.. - R.I.P
Today our section organize a farewell party for a practical student whom attached to in our section since June 09. His name is Andy Ngau and recently doing his final year degree in UUM and majoring in Broadcasting Media Technology.
When i arrived in the office that morning, i saw everyone is ready with dishes that been opointed for them to cook.....
To me, I woke up at 4.30am this morning and need to send my brother Radin to airport. He is going to Bintulu to see his wife and their new born – a baby girl. I notice my brother is so very excited about that. He also show a picture of his new born baby girl..hmmmm she’s sooooo the very cute one (ooohh my English) and she got fair skin some more. My brother told me he is ‘VERY PERASAN’ when he look at the picture of his baby girl that was sent to him via picture message by his wife. He said; (well i purposely remain our dialog in our mother tounge language Kayan ya. I hope you don't mind, thanks)
Aden: Nah, doh anak kui, heheeeee
Me: lan ya???? (sambil tepuk bahu my brother) wwaaaahh sayu kah anan...(me smileeee)
Aden: Pukol 11:35 malem deh Angela nganak
Me: Yakah? Melei hia’ nganak ho..
Aden: Te’ gabal nyek tinih. Meerrraaaaan perasan kui tegu akui nyineng gabal nyek nih..
Me: No’? ai makui, akui ikem hineng..
Then my brother pass me his handphone to show me the picture of his beautiful baby girl. She’s sleeping while her mom took the picture, deep sleep. Oh dear.. God bless you my niece.
After drop my brother at the airport, I quickly rang Angela in Bintulu..
Me: Hello Angie, congrats upon your baby girl..she’s so fair…!!! (me smile again)
Angela: Hi kakak..!
Me: Im so proud of you…! (other conversation remain confidential)
Angela: Kakak sudah ada? Bila lagi?
Me: Selow selow lah dulu..hheeeehee. you take care yea..bebai..
Angela: Bai..
When I reached home its about 5:45am and I quickly prepare all the ingredients for my cooking. I need to cook chicken curry and prepare sambal belacan. Luckily I prepare the pudding last night so, not much I have to do this mornig, except the curry..
To Andy thank you for being with us within this few months..We hope you could learn what you need to and gain much experience while being with us here. We hope it will be very useful to you in your study or when you hunting for job in the future. God Bless you..Arigato.
Below is some of the picture taken during our little farewell party for Andy

The dishes...
My guess is Andy tengah meng'cek' dishes that been prepared.. :)
Now everyone not want to miss the lunch.. Enjoy yourself..
I couldn’t stop thinking about my friend Helen. I just cry when I remember her. My pray is that she will continue to be strong. I have chat with friend Jessica and ask her what actually happen..oh macam tu rupanya, after she told me then I know this guy’s health story…. There is tumor between the tulang rusuk and his chest altogether 4 biji, sebesar biji petai. He went for chemo but then he got appendix pula minggu lepas and need to operate the appendix. Last Saturday, he was ok in the morning before he died.. Lord, my pray is, give your comfort, strength and joy to my friend Helen so that she able to face this hard times. In Jesus name I pray, amen.
This evening I was soo shock when my friend Jesica sms me telling that the boyfriend of my best friend Helen pass away this afternoon.. I’m speechless, and really shock..how could..? He is such a healthy man-in good health condition to all the time i know him, active and very good person. How can he..? Im sooo sad.
My husband and I was at my in-laws residence that time having dinner there. After dinner we went to my husband’s aunty house for awhile then rush to see my friend Helen. I never thought this guy is going back home to see Father in Heaven so soon. Me and Helen crying and hug each other when we met. Helen told me that Boniface was very much in good condition this morning. He event sharing jokes with them and his appetite to eat also in good condition. Oh, how can, I ask myself again..
To my fren Helen, my pray for you is, BE STRONG AND TAKE COURAGE. GOD IS ALWAYS BE WITH YOU. I HOPE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FACE THIS HARD TIMES. LIFE MUST GO ON MY DARLING FRIEND…
