Greetings from Lubok Antu

Greetings from LA…errr Lubok Antu lah. Cannot play that April fools trick anymore eh :)

Yess…I survived the trip here. Two hrs fright from KL, then 5 hours by van to LA. Sakit pinggang as the roads are winding and bumpy. I pun tak tau nak panggil this place Batang Ai (eee…sounds so obscene kan…takut nak sebut…kot-kot…lepas sebut org pi tengok kat “SITU” je) or Lubok Antu.

I’m posting this from one of the schools here. Nasib baik lah got Internet, if not memang dapat kejutan kot coz sepi Internet for more than a day.

As for LA, okay lah tempat ni….no MALLS yer. Posters BN & PKR are lined up along the roads. Words on the streets have it that it’s 60-40, favouring the MATA. What ever lah…I just wanna do my stuff here and baliikkkkkkk secepat mungkin.

Oh..yes, am staying at Hilton Batang Ai (laaa..batang lagiiiii!!!). Nice resort, Cuma we have to take a boat across the Batang Ai dam lake to get there. Ya ampun….rasa gerun dok cross the big lake. Bujang senang pun ader kot in the pitch mossy green waters. It takes a good 20 mins to get to the long house, okay (cheh…ni mmg kena check dgn ABE polisi insurance ku berapa juta lah ni….).

This will be all for now. Will post pics later. Cantikk lah but me counting hours to challo from here lah. Missing my kids, the cats, ASTRO, Internet, FB and segala tok nenek di rumah.

Take care girls and have a good weekend.

Wah..wah...sambil menyelam sambil minum air .... (errr... the bujang senang tu minum air pakai straw jer ke? heheheh)

Tak sangka kat Lubok Antu pun ada Hilton gak?! Gempaq.

err.. now given your experience of cruising alongside the bujang senang, apa pendapat puan tentang infrastruktur yg perlu dibaikpulih oleh mana-mana wakil rakyat yg bakal terpilih nanti? ekekeke...

Wokeh wokeh..before everbody gets excited about this LA, the word Batang Ai tu is not pronounced as Batang I..hahahahaha...but rather as 'Batang Air'. Alamak! lagi obscene kut bunyik dia :-0

Roti Kacang Merah said...

bukan ke, kalau ikut slanga sarawakian, it's supposed to sound like 'Batang A-yee' or somethin...?

Whatever the sound like, it still sounds obscene la kan. Maybe we should just refer to it as 'Sungai Ai' instead of 'Batang Ai'. heh heh

Dear Kay

Was hunting for you to enter frame in the bulletin news everyday since you went to Batang Air. Alina was telling me, Aunty's face dun have because she is busy taking photos of the BN leaders herself.

Heard about the Hilton, very commercialised. No Astro even in Hilton?

RKM,

Okay sis...dah put some pics. Enjoy....nanti kita add lagi eh!!

Naik van FIVE hours, then naik boat a good 30 mins pulak. Memang nak pengsan jadik nyer

IBU,

Adaaaaa....Hilton ada kat Batang tuh!! beautiful hotel, but very quiet lerrrr. Takuttttttt.

Siapa will win?? I dun really care and I think the feeling is mutual with the simple tribal folks. Tak tau nak pilih...ha...cuba je one, two zommmm!!!

kay_leeda said...

Waterlily,

Request from me...learn a word of Sarawak dialect a day. Then do the Iban language...

Baru lah ader titian muhibah...

kay_leeda said...

RKM again,

Mmg obscene having to say that word. Only to us outsider je...
To the locals...hai...no issues!! Batang lah nak kat mana pun

kay_leeda said...
