Apa takut?

Makan saja.....jangan segan

Don't cry for me, Argentina.....

The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Anugerah Juara Lagu Iban Terbilang ke 4 di Miri Indoor Stadium

sayau gambar tu enda ulih di peda laban nadai light teluk dia....because this is the moment I want those who were at the Indoor Stadium Miri to know what made the event last night run smoothly was the effort by these 3 DJs,namely Mary Bajang, Margaret Anis & Simon Sutie who prayed behind the big screen/stagebefore the event kicked off. It goes to show..that praying is a good thing,no matter what the event or function, never take anything for granted. Amen to that....

Arrival of DP Jabu ba Stadium Tertutup Miri kena malam 26hb April to officiate the function. He spoke a good 20 mins to a crowd estimated to be about nearly 4000 people present last night and he did mention that he was equally excited as the rest of us to watch the singing.He gave a grant of RM10,000 to RTM Club & another RM10,000 for next year's function.

Shaking hands saying "How do you do?" to the VIPs seated at the front rows. The VIPs made up of RTM officials,local YBs,Tememggong Atong,Temenggong James Jimbun Pungga who's accompanying his wife,Puan Senorita Linang who was invited to be a judge for the singing. Together with her were two other judges in the form of Ellison Ludan & Ernesto Kalom.

Sangga Budaya dancers ngajat ba pentas.

Wat Enjop's opening act was playing the sape and bisi mansut ke siti dua bungai ajat iya. His closing act was blowing out 'fire' from his mouth. Must be some very high concentration of langkau that he used to produce such a flame.

Rancak diri bala dancers tu bergelek-gelek berdangut...bala dancers ke lelaki bisi maioh 'kewanitaan' ba sida,nya bala chapuh meda sida ngelingkok ke punggung. Seated a few seats away from me were some young ladies who had a great time 'wooing' & cheering the singers and dancers. I saw myself in those young girls,having a good time. I remember, at times when one is with the right crowd,a non happening evening can turn out to be an enjoyable one with the cheering and the jeering. ( there's a devil in us sometimes)
