I’m A Sarawakian la….

Yeah, I am a Sarawakian person. Stayed in Kuching for 19 years, and now in Selangor only for studies. Hoping so much that I could be posted back to Kuching after my 3 years course. I can’t stand of being far away from friends and family. And I honestly missing Kuching and the food. The food here tasted differently for me, as my tongue prefers Sarawak’s food more.

Here, the food sometimes are too spicy, and the kangkung tastes weird. I really love my own kangkung belacan. Unlike what I’m eating here. So not yummy! :) Others like the fish, also tastes different, and I’m not sure why. Maybe my tongue used to take Sarawak’s food so much, so my tongue haven’t used to eat the food here. It takes time maybe for me to adapt to my surrounding especially the food. I really miss home-cooked. :(

I want to share with you guys what happens everyday to me here. About my place of origin. I think everyone knows that I have families in Brunei and Sabah. Even in Selangor, and Penang. As for me, I could talk each dialects fluently. Here, when I am being around my friends which comes from Penang, I will change my dialects to Penang dialects. And some of them can’t believe that I am a Sarawakian, because I speaks fluent in Penang dialects.

Same happens to me when I get around with friends from Sabah. My dialects and language will immediately change to Sabahan. And some of them, until today still believe that I am a Sabahan, even though I had always said that I am a Sarawakian. They just can’t believe it. I sometimes have to prove myself a Sarawakian by talking to some Sarawak friends using Sarawak language. But then, they still making weird face looking at me.

For me, knowing other states languages are good. I even can talk fluently in Bruneian Malay language. And I love it, because I met a friend which is my senior. He used to stay in Brunei few years back, so he said, I really good in Bruneian Malay language. He even said that he can’t believe it I’m a Sarawakian.

I love it. Talking to people using different languages and dialects are good. But yeah, people got wrong of my origin. By the way, I am a Sarawakian no matter how good am I talking in Penang, Sabahan and Bruneian Malay dialects and languages. And I am proud being a Sarawakian! :)
