Super Jumau- Working Hard For The Money!

Another example of the movers and shakers amongst the Iban women that I would like to write about is Jumau, a name that I have not heard for a long time until I came across this name at a blog I read a few days ago. She is constantly on the move,getting in and out of aeroplanes, jetting to near and far places for the jelatong/pendai/pengkalan/jetty/wharf industries. I was hoping to meet her when I went to Bintulu last Saturday but too bad,she was going to KL that same afternoon to attend a convention. The other time last year when I went to Bintulu,she was in Italy.Most times whenever I sms(ed) to her,she's either in Shanghai,Mumbai,KL,Jogja,Niah or Dijih. Anak Indai Dian ke laki was always very proud of her when he was still alive.; going and getting to where she is now...all thanks to a very supportive hubby & disciplined children. HmmHmm..Apai Maie has to buy me breakfast at 2020's for the puji-pujian.Jumau is a wife to Gim,a mother to Maie,Indai Dian & Igat. Maie is studying Pharmacy in Glasgow and Indai Dian is studying medicine in Jogja. So now you know why they have to work very hard. I have a lot of other nice things to say about her but I do not want to be accused as being 'biased' just because she's Jumau..Indai Maie..Serimah & my cousin. But then again,what are cousins for? Right?
