a kadazan wedding - where beer is served in milo cups.
on sunday, my wife and i attended her cousin’s wedding in penampang. i had to leave my son at home, cuz he was having fever, my parents came over and took care of him.
during the wedding in the hall, i took some pictures using my phone, so they are all fuzzy. the wedding is more or less a typical kadazan wedding in a hall, lots of sumazau, food and drinking.

if there’s one thing i’m not comfortable with when attending a kadazan wedding is the dreaded “forced” sumazau dance! this phobia started even when i was young.
what happens is a few aunties will go around passing a thingy (called senandang.. think so hehe) which they place on your shoulder. Once you get this, it means you have to do the sumazau. so when you go and dance in the middle of the hall, most of the aunties and uncles will observe the way you dance. i can recall when i was a teenager, my auntie nearly choked on her food when she saw me mixing the sumazau with movements copied from the Vanilla Ice video with hairstyle based on the New Kids on the Block (now u know the song i listen to when i was in my teens). __(’Read the rest of this entry »’)
