Song that remind me of Him :')

Grandpa (Left)

       Amazing Grace is one of his favourite song. I used to called him "Babai" because in Bidayuh language, grandfather we called as "babai". When I was small, babai always sing this song for me so. Whenever I hear this song, automatically my tears will drop. After he had passed away two years ago, no one sing this song for me. So, here his favourite song. Amazing Grace

Bidayuh - The Land Dayak

Bidayuh Traditional Costume

               Bidayuh is the collective name for several indigenous groups found in southern Sarawak. These groups are categorized as one because their language and culture is similar. The Bidayuh itself means ‘inhabitants of land’. Over time this group has been known by many names. During the White Rajah’s time, they were known as Land Dayaks, but were officially named Bidayuh by the Sarawakian government in 2002.
                   Some Bidayuh community lives in small villages close to Kuching, while the others close to the border of Indonesia such as Serikin and Tebedu. They include six main dialectical subgroups: Bau-Bidayuh, Biatah-Penrissen, Bukar-Sadong, Padawan-Sembaan, Rara and Salako. They mostly lives in mountainous areas, from one hillside to another, living solely on plantation. Before the British era, they were all believe in Animist, but today, many of them were Christian and some becoming a Muslim.
