THE GONG

erroo every body..
last weekend was pretty much a fun weekend for me..
Saturday i got a chance to travel all the way to this
village name ANNAH RAIS..
i was called by my dad to rescue him after a night of overdose partying with my uncle..
know how to party but dont know how to get home.. SMART!
-.-"
so i have to travel all the way up for an hour plus just to get him at my uncle stay house..
the good thing was that i came at the right time..
i get to see this taboo thing for GONG!!
my cousin bought some GONG and the people in the village says that some kind of taboo thing need to be done or some bad shit will happen...
i dont know what the hell it is for but its pretty much interesting looking at an old man talking to himself and saying out words that you cant understand as if there was no end to it..
but one thing for sure i think hes talking with someone..
"old man"
"talking to somebody or something?"
i really have no idea why do they have to do all of this thing even doe im a mix bidayuh.. but its interesting doe...
"THE GONG"
"bidayuh gong"
the sound of the GONG is just so creepy!
wait till its the GAWAI HANTU festival...
NO joke.. !!
that 7 GONG that is hanging there in the picture does not come cheap..
it does not come in package... you have to find it one by one all around to get the correct sound...missing one and you wont get any nice music out of it..
"weired thing hanging"
dont ask me what is that thing hanging ..
i myself have no idea...and the offering was a chicken..
"chicken blood"
see that basket? that is where the chicken goes and some other food..
theres some cheap liquor as well...
"basket"
after all of the vodoo taboo stuff.. i found out that my uncle stay house has a nice river!
"stay house"
"river"
after all the fun playing around the river.. food for lunch served!
the food was cooked bidayuh style...
"chicken cooked in bamboo"
"BBQ pork head"
"fish burn in leaf"
"rice cooked in baboo stick"
the best part was that i found this beer name SINGHA!!!!!
hahahaha...
i wonder if heineken cant make dad drunk SHINGA did the trick!!
hahahaha..
because he was still in his hangover mode even after we finish lunch..
dayyymmmm i should had join..
SINGHA ROCKS!!!
"beer SINGHA"
everyone was full and ready to go off..
before that the GONG was given a GO to play..
cousin (in white) was proud of his new GONG..
and i had a fun time!
end the day with a BBQ..
went all the way to another village name SINGAI for a friend BBQ birthday that night..
"BBQ"
"an awesome drink!! have no idea what the hell it is but it was nice!"
im still thinking of trying to go overdose on that SINGHA beer!!
maybe ill change into a LION
