'basa kita'

(Title means Our Language / 'Bahasa kitani') 'Bahasa Tutong' is the language for the Tutong community in Brunei. My parents were born in Tutong, but I am not as fluent as one should be. So Ive decided that whenever i get back home for summer, I have to start collecting bits and pieces from the dad, grandma, and old folks at local kopitiam; and share them here. This is dedicated for my family back home, I miss you all

Has it been 8 months already?

My apologies for not updating this blog as often as i would love to. I was busy with my fourth year throughout the 2nd half of last year. Then, Ive got the summer scholarship to do a research, and as the name says it, I have to stay back here over my summer holidays. Well... I actually had 2 weeks (only!!!!) break over christmas and newyear, it was too short and i didnt really get to sit down with the dad and speak much Tutong. the formulae would be, less time at home=less time to speak Tutong=no addition to my Tutong dictionary, make sense? hahha.. ok i kid.

not too late to greet readers..
SELAMAT TAHUN BARU HIJRAH
MERRY CHRISTMAS
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR
