About this..

It took me very long to think about what i want to include in my latest blog. Finally i came out with the idea to introduce everything about Ibans. The culture, the music, the lifestyle, the taboos, the legends, the food etc..

I am a pure Iban girl. But i don't really live in a long house because i was born in the urban city of Kuching and my village is also very near to the Malays village. I am assimilated with other cultures. But still i am an Iban in heart.

Talking about my iban blood, people seemed to confuse my look. Commonly people will mistake me as a Chinese but sometimes i do get mistaken for other races such as Malay, Bidayuh and the weirdest was Lun Bawang (Lun Bawang is one of the many ethnics in Sarawak). I don't know if i really look like that, but i know i don't look like a typical Iban because i also have mixed blood. My mum's dad was a mixed Iban-Chinese (means my ancestor was a Chinese), that was what my mum told me. I believe that.

So, here my first blog is to tell you how an Iban usually look like (what i discussed with my roomate).you can see for yourself the look of ibans below...

1. Chinese eyes
2. Prominent cheek bones
3. Square shaped face
4. Usually straight hair, sometimes wavy
