Sisters for LIFE M-1-1-4
It has been a really long time since I last updated this blog. I think it was in the early of 2011 and after that, due to circumstances, I couldn't update. Anyhow, here, I am back with more more interesting experience about the Malaysian culture. For everyone. The animated picture above was produced by me using PAINT. The program 1 Citizen generated my boredom into something very productive such as this. I did not know I have the potential till this morning.
The picture shows 5 characters, Lydia, Diana, Gloria, Ethel and Adelin. They live in the same house through out their degree program in Shah Alam. Coming from different background and ethnicity, they adapt themselves with each other with the sake of their friendship. Lydia is an Orang ulu, Diana, an Iban girl, Gloria, a Bidayuh, Ethel, a sino-kadazan and Adelin a Malay-Javanese. It is very interesting because they get to learn each others' language and learn each other's culture.
Religion is also not an excuse for them to live happily together. Being the only Muslim, Adelin had no problem practising her solat and other task demanded by Islam. Their give and take spirit makes it smooth with minimal problems. Adelin, being the only peninsular girl is able to understand and speak 'Melayu Sarawak' and that makes people around mistaken her as a Bornean as well. She is used to be having a Sabahan asking where is her hometown in Sabah. Her Bornean facial features actually contribute to this factor. As a matter of fact, she enjoyed the misunderstandings very much.
