The Call..

Hari pertama betugas 5/2/12

Apuu..lama amat ruai ku tok enda di jenguk, kotan tek dah gila ngan bupmoa.  kesian..kesian...sampai almost lupa password.

EtE sigi rindu amat belagu..tang ukai solo, dalam gerup choir.  Maya agi lower secondary kelia, EtE masuk choir St Columbas.  After being selected to study in Kolej, alu badu.  Datai ba Kolej din alu masuk Kolej choir ga.  Nyee..sigi amat rindu belagu.

Now 30 years later, Ete nyau tetenguk baru ka masuk choir gerija.  Since anak anak semua dah besar panjang, nemu ngintu diri so nyamai meh duduk ngau sida choir.  So on 5/2/12, EtE officially nyadi choir member baru.  Kira making a comeback meh nya.  Seronok betul, laban sigi minat, walaupun suara enda ga kelalu manah, tang bisi ga di anjung.  hehehe..

When come to think of it, am wondering...could it be my call?

Gempuru Besai 24 Nov - 26 Nov 2011

After months of planning, meetings, road show sana, road show sini, finally the much anticipated Gempuru Besai Kristen Jaku Iban is here.

The chosen place was at Eastwood valley golf and country club.  Nya meh utai ti ngasoh Endu Tupai binzi semacam dua tiga menjak tok tadi.  Ruai pun nyau petang.  Baru sari tok bisi ari update belug.  Tadi ka update, belug tu ga sut.

Endu Tupai and Indai Gani incharge of registration.  Apu....nyentok ke the day of the gempuru, agi meh bisi urang ngerejister last minit.  Gamal kami sebala nyau baka ringin pulai mansai memagang kotan tek kelalu laku; banyak customer gitu.  Ngam ngam ga meja register di tusun nunga matahari, akai dai...baka baru pulai ngiga bubuk gamal.  Umbas ya ga kuliksin duit rejister ulih kami malam nya.  Ulih kena ke pala rumah. hahahaha...

Nadai utai tau nanggul enti ati udah ka.  Di mana ada kemahuan, di situ ada jalan.  Peda, biar set up nyut asal anak enda nyabak.



Father's Day

I hope its not too late to wish every Father out there (including Papatupai) a Happy Father's Day with this message, "Fathers, love your wife"...heeeeee.....(ngaga kediri).

Last sunday, 19 June, Father's day was celebrated together with our St Columba's church patronal festival.  Assistant Bishop Aeries came to Miri to grace the occasion.  St Columba's patronal Day is celebrated every year in June.

Family that prays together stays together

17.05.2011

ISCM (Iban Speaking Congregation Ministry) bisi ngatur seminar"Ngemansang ke ruang bilik orang kristian" on 17/5/2011 tu tadi.  Its in line with our church vision this year whereby a "family that prays together stays together".

It started as early as 7.00am and ends at about 8pm.  Akai...........cukup enjoy, kenyang and lelak.  Programs are created to cover all age groups; adults, teens and children so no one is left with nothing to do, except those who refuse to do anything. hehehe...

The programs are 'kati cara pendiau ruang bilik orang kristian, kati cara resolve conflicts.  In between bisi games.  Enda ga buring ninga orang bejako aja.  Sessi soal jawab sigi enda tau tinggal.

Muak ke lemai bisi senam robik, telematch, tug of war and finally the best of all; pekit mandok lauk.

Banner tu di gaga bala nembiak sunday school headed by non other; the famous Aunty Linda.  Nasit Endu Tupai sempat nyenip banner tu laban after that runtuh, entah dikereja sapa.

Program started with Praise & Worship followed by morning prayer.  Papatupai di beri 2 tugas that day; nyadi reader and nyadi akim pekit mandok lauk (chef wan katakan.)

Sessi pertama by Pada Ramdan.  Biasalah Pada Ramdan enti dah bejako sigi rangkai gusi, pedis kuyu bai ketawa.  Ya bejako pasal kaul laki bini dalam ruang bilik orang kristian.  Mula mula ya nanya bala apai ke duduk kediri; kini ke tunga bini sida; semua nunjuk ke dapur.  Semua bala apai ke diak diasoh ya duduk berimbai ngau bini masing2.  Haha..capuh mensia ketawa. 

Lepas abis bejako, bisi bulih prisin ya.  Lelak bejako wai, pedis jaw bai kutap kutap for more than 1/2 hour.

Pada Donald Jute ari Good Shepherd Lutong pun bisi dijemput berandau pasal kaul dalam ruang bilik orang kristian.  Sempat ya muji, manah prugrim kita tu, think of doing 1 for Good Shepherd, ko ya.

As I said earlier, mest beri prisin dah lelak bejako.

Sebedau mupok, kami sebuat dinner dulu.  Ikan pekit mandok lauk tadi pen habis licin di kebas bala mensia, meaning sedap semua meh nya.

Kami menyanak mupok almost 8pm.  Datai di rumah, mandi and off to bed.  Very the tired and fun.  Arap ke semua utai di pelajar sari nya sentiasa di ingat and most important of all di apply.  Hmmm...most challenging part in this modern world.
