Dusun Lotud - My Mum and Dad

Happy Kamataan...upppssss...very late! I know and actually sister emailed this picture of mom and dad to me last month. I don't know how the heck i forgotten to post it on my blog but not on my facebook. It shows that facebook is a new revolution in social networking. It used to be a dating site, then blogging and now facebook. Until now facebook is still one of the most expensive company on the internet after Google. Anyway..That's my mum and dad on last kamataan. Yippieeee...and they said they want to wear it during my graduation day in the UK. Well, i don't mind hahahahaha. I might be doing the same as well. I like the custom and would be proud to show them to the world. So most probably, i will be going back to sabah in july and ask the tailor to make one for me :-)

Pakiring Vs Lima Ribu - Which one is the original?

I was busy searching a Kadus Song on youtube this evening. I don't really remember the title of the song. But something like "Sumandak kisorundung topurak" (gadis berskap putih...begitu kah tuh dalam bahasa melayu? maybe lah!!). Actually i not so sure the title of the song. In fact, the singer also i forgot. At last i managed to found it after i tried and error using few keys such as; sumandak (gadis)+ sorundung (skap)+ topurak(putih) + kadazan songs and some other words. However, before i found the video clip, i managed to found other clips which i think i need to make comparison which one is the original.

Well here are the links.

1.Pakiring by Khominie group from Philippines

2. Lima ribu from Sabah


Just wonder...the melody is almost similar, if i not mistaken 98%. The only different is, Pakiring's tempo is faster and catchy. The lima ribu one is slower. What do you think? which is the original? heheheheh...

* Kadazan-Dusun: 17.8%
