Pua Give-Away

1st - Pua Purse Give-Away



YEAY! My very own very Give-Away, am SOOOO SUPER EXCITED!



Been wanting to do this for ages but couldn't find enough excuse, mainly because - the gift MUST be UNIQUE, AUTHENTHIC and SYMBOLIC to Malaysia culture and heritage. Unless ofcos I bought it during one of my oversee's trip, well; that's another story all together.

I had my mind set on something of Pua design and Sarawak is very famous for this motive/print and their beaded handiwork. This motive and handiwork is from Iban tribe which is a branch of the Dayak peoples of Borneo, they are also known as Sea Dayaks during the British colonial era. The Ibans were renowned for practising headhunting and tribal/territorial expansion. But no worries guys, long gone are the days of headhunting and piracy and the are now pretty much in tech savvy (those living in the cities of cause). The only headhunting now will be on online games/PSP, hahahhaaa.....

2nd - Bracelet Give-Away

Originally I wanted to have 1 give-away entry for each city I’ve visited but... Neh… I thought let’s just do 1 entry with 2 gifts instead. Hence the 2nd gift is from Kota Kinabalu (or KK) in Sabah. KK is basically popular for its cultured pearls but I don’t know how to buy a good one so I thought I just get an accessories from the famous Filipino Market.

Sabah is known for Mount Kinabalu (ranked 5th on the highest point in South East Asia) for it’s gigantic Rafflesia plants plus the orangutan as well as it's paradise diving spot/island - Sipadan Island. Do check out my entry HERE for Sipadan and Mabul Island visit. Oh! You can also climb Mountain Torq Via Ferrata.
