You know that the generation has expanded
1. When you go ngabang (house visiting, usually during gawai), you need two Avanza and two Hilux.
2. When you want to sleep, you have to go to your another grandpa's house which is a few rooms away because your own 'bilik' (units in a long house) you have to walk 'jengket-jengket' like there's dead bodies everywhere from the living room until the kitchen.
3. When a RM30 plate of fried mee is not enough for even ONE table
4. When you see piles of TIGER beer before the kick-off
Yes, I experienced all that. I actually didn't really notice that before this until on that very day, first day of gawai. My God! My grandpa actually have more than a dozen grand children!
then I started to draw a chart on a piece of paper (sorry I did not managed to take the picture). This is my mom's side. My mom got six siblings for a start. My mom as the eldest child of Mr Edwin Dol got three children.
Cibol - That's me
Amy Maureen
Brenda Punga
Aunt Pauline, from Julau with love got herself two handsome young man
Gadley Tommy
Gadley Terry
Uncle Nick have by far the biggest number 5 PRINCESSESS!
Aileen Lola
Bernaddette Chara
Dierdre Eva
Beatrice Sura
Jennycia
Anybody taking?
Then comes Aunt Esther with one
Swaylin - yes, she was name after that Iban pop-star
next comes Aunt Anna with a lovely young lady and two rascals but grandma said, they're both way off my standard.
Renee Ajan
Leonard Leopold
Terence Awal
Uncle george came in next with
Stephanie George
Augustine Mirap
and another two which I forgot their name (Bad bad bad!)
Uncle Mike came in next with only one in Munai, I also forgot her English name.
If my math is correct that is 18 altogether.
We do not have a bungalow per say but at this current moment, yes they sleep from the living room until the kitchen. It's like a war aftermath seriously. It's like seeing dead bodies everywhere.
That pic includes Uncle Roger Baran - A young uncle of mine
The best part of this all is that, eventhough there's simply not enough place to sleep but seriously it was fun with everybody around. It's not that you guys meet each other that often but this is the season that everybody come together and GET DRUNK! ha ha ha ...
