iban longhouse, yup!! the puteri...in iban traditional costume which costs us rm10 for 1 time rent...hehehe
the verandah...uder tengah menari tarian orang iban...hehehe

while having our own good time snapping photos around the iban longhouse with the iban costume (there was only the two of us) then, suddenly i saw 4 guys and 1 girl coming...me and uder tried to run and take off our costume sebab malu and tak mau orang lain nampak, but we were too late, all of sudden, the iban longhouse was full with visitors...haihh kami berdua pun jadi orang iban sekejap, there's people asking us to be in their photos too!! as usual, i'm quite shy, after a few snap from strangers, i tried to stayed back and let uder layan the visitors...then, the guys came, one of them dah ready with the costume too! so both of us pun bergambar laa bersama mereka...and we became friends...the 4 guys are, ejart, zul, aleem and faiz..they came with their unofficial tourist guide, khai....see, the guys pun need tourist guide..kami berdua gamble guide saja..hahaha...ohh lepas borak2 dengan faiz, rupanya, dia tinggal dekat saja dengan my house.. anyway,will tell more in day 3 entry yer!

ejart with the costume and zul terbaring sebb kena belasah...hahahala

2.33pm - zul invited both of us to join them on the stage at the perfomance area for the unofficial traditional guitar learning session by one of the musician...yela sangatt

3.10pm - me and uder ran as fast as we could to the entrance of cultural village to get our shuttle bus which was scheduled to take off at around 3.15pm...hahaha penat lari!!

3.30pm - arrived village house, pick up our luggage..(abang shuttle bus tu yang tolong angkat..best laa, we felt like a princess....we dont have to do heavy things...hehehe)we met laurance and team, said thank you and we shoot off to kuching town.....good bye puteri santubong and puteri sejinjang, we'll come again!!

4.15pm - arrived riverside majestic hotel (thanks a lot to uncle khairuddin for booking and checked in the hotel for us and million thanks to my beloved daddy for sponsoring the 2 nite stay in the hotel for me and uder) sampai hotel, we unpacked our things and tido!!!

6.45pm - woke up and get dressed, went to giant in parkson to grab some food...beli maggi in my mug, juices, pudding..

7.30pm - zul called uder and invited us for dinner at barok cafe across the sarawak river...actually, it was ejart's idea..he told me and uder before we left them at the cultural village, he asked if we would like to join them for dinner...oh well, me and uder said "why not' we don't mind."..uder exchange her number with zul...so yeahhh..we went for seafood dinner...thanks guys for the treat! hahaha..lain kali belanje lagi okayyy..kahkahkah

8.00pm - met the guys in front of our hotel, and went straight to the jetty. we crossed the river by sampan!! risau jugak malam2 naik sampan, dengan 4 lelaki, and pakcik bawak sampan tu relaks saja...takut laa kot diorang bawak pi tempat lain, pastu kena jual...whahahaha...ye negative thinking sajee..heheh but the guys are really nice guy....ejart paid for the sampan..alahaiii baik nyer laa si ejart nih...yang lain2 tuu baik jugak...tapi poyo lebih! hahaha

9.30pm - abis makan, the guys ajak pi tengok muvi pulak..tapi citer hantu...both of us straight cakap "NO" giler ape nk tengok citer hantu malam2? we decided to go to the cinema and check for other movies..tapi kul 9.15pm last show..hahah too late...bagus pun...then, the guys ajak pi main bowling pulak...since baru kul 9.30pm, me and uder pun okay saje lahh..

10.30pm - penat and back to our room...the guys jalan kaki balik hotel diorang..heheh luckily the bowling is just beside our hotel...takde la jauh nk berjalan balik..
