BAJAU - SAMA

Salam semua, post kali ni aku mau berkongsi tentang satu lagi perkara berkenaan dgn kaum Bajau di Sabah.Ia dtg dr seorang kawan yg secara tidak sengaja terbaca ttg artikel Sama ketika sdg sibuk mencari bahan utk thesisnya.Aku sendiri nda pasti samada dia taip balik artikel ni mengikut susunan kata dia sendiri atau pun dia cut n paste dan trus private msg aku di fb..Mari sama2 kita baca info yg aku baru tau pasal Sama...




Pengembara dari Barat menggunakan perkataan Bajau untuk semua komuniti yg hidup berasaskan laut di kepulauan Polynesia, yang merangkumi beratus-ratus etnik yang mempunyai persamaan dari segi budaya dan bahasa. (Macam juga kita panggil orang barat sebagai ‘orang putih’ – walaupun mereka berasal dari negara-negara berbeza, tapi masih ada persamaan dari segi budaya hidup).

Kewujudan komuniti Bajau sebagai pelaut, pahlawan dan pedagang yang handal sudah diiktiraf semenjak dari abad ke 14 lagi, sebelum era penjajahan! Bila Melaka jatuh ke tangan Portugis di abad ke 16, komuniti Bajau menjadikan Brunei sebagai pusat perhubungan, pertahanan dan perdagangan! Kesultanan Brunei menggunakan komuniti Bajau untuk pertahanan di Sabah, jadi wujudla Kota Belud, Mengkabong, Inanam.

Apabila penjajah Barat meluaskan kawasan jajahan ke kepulauan Borneo, komuniti Bajau memberi tentangan yang hebat dengan menyerang kapal-kapal pedagang dan ketenteraan Barat. Sebab itu perkataan ‘Bajau’ digambarkan oleh penjajah sebagai komuniti lanun yang ganas, tidak bertemadun, tiada perikemanusiaan, jahat dan sebagainya. Tapi sebenarnya, komuniti ini la yang menjadi benteng pertama kemasukan penjajah Barat ke negara-negara seperti Indonesia, Filipina, Burma dan Indochina disebabkan oleh kehandalan komuniti ini dalam ilmu pelayaran, pertahanan dan perdagangan. Tapi yang nyata di Sabah, tanpa komuniti Bajau, Sabah mungkin sudah jatuh di tangan penjajah seawal abad ke 16 bersama dengan Melaka!!! Komuniti Bajau juga sangat berpengaruh di Sabah contohnya:- kebudayaan (musik tradisi, bahasa, ugama, makanan), politik – Mat Salleh (pejuang kebebasan, pahlawan), Datu Mustapha (bapa kemerdekaan), ADUN (25 Kerusi Bajau), Menteri Penuh Persekutuan (Bajau).

Mungkin juga sudah tibanya masa untuk perkataan ‘Bajau’ digantikan dengan ‘Sama’ sebab ‘Bajau’ sangat luas (ia merangkumi berbagai etnik dari Laut Andaman (Burma) hingga ke kepulauan Sulawesi) dan ‘Sama’ lebih melambangkan ciri-ciri tempatan di Sabah. ‘Sama’ juga bukan Melayu sebab komuniti Bajau sudah wujud sebelum kerajaan Majapahit, Melayu Champa, Kesultanan Melayu, Kesultanan Brunei dan Kesultanan Sulu. ‘Melayu’ bukanla bangsa tapi sama seperti perkataan ‘Bajau’ – Melayu cuma melambangkan satu rangkuman pelbagai etnik yang mempunyai persamaan bahasa dan budaya (akan dibincang di topic lain)

Menarik kan info ni? Aku ada tanya kwn ku tu dari mana dia dpt info ni..so dia kasi aku list url yg banyak memperkatakan ttg asal usul Bajau - Sama.

Yasmin Ahmad..semoga rohnya di cucuri rahmat!!

Aku pasti di ketika kamu membaca blog ni, rata2 kamu sudah tau akan pemergian Pengarah Tersohor Malaysia, Yasmin Ahmad, Sabtu 25hb Julai 09 2325..Smemangnya kehilangan beliau bakal memberi impak yg besar dalam industri perfileman tempatan..Sepet dan Gubra merupakan karya agung beliau yg banyak membuka mata orang luar juga orang kita sendiri tentang kehebatan filem Melayu. Malah kedua filem ini merupakan antara filem tempatan kegemaran aku. Malang sekali Muallaf tidak dpt di tayangkan di Malaysia yg mungkin juga akan termasuk dalam senarai.

Pagi jumaat lepas ketika dalam perjalanan ke pejabat, aku mendengar berita beliau pengsan malam sebelum kerana serangan angin ahmar,lalu di bawa ke hospital dan keadaan beliau stabil pagi itu..Namun ajal maut semua di tangan tuhan, pagi tadi aku menerima sms dr seorang kawan di kl pukul 1pagi, memberitahu beliau sudah kembali ke rahmatullah. Untuk mendapat kepastian penuh aku terus menghantar sms ke seorang kawan lain yg sememangnya arif dalam dunia hiburan ini tentang kesahihan berita itu..Ya, Yasmin Ahmad sudah tiada..bak kata pepatah, harimau mati meninggalkan belang, manusia mati meninggalkan nama. Buat pembaca blog yg beragama islam, marilah kita beramai2 bersedekah sekurang2nya Al-Fatihah buat arwah..semoga rohnya di cucuri rahmat..AL-FATIHAH..

Cepat2 aku copy n paste untuk blog aku pulak dan berkongsi bersama kamu.Cerita ni ttg sebuah keluarga beranak satu..Mari sama2 kita ambil iktibar dr cerita ni ya..Insyaallah!

Kisah Sepasang Suami Isteri dengan anaknya_Harus Baca Nie !!!!

Sepasang suami isteri - seperti pasangan lain di kota-kota besar -
mninggalkan anak-anak diasuh pembantu rumah semasa keluar bekerja. Anak
tunggal pasangan ini, perempuan berusia tiga setengah tahun. Bersendirian
di rumah dia kerap dibiarkan pembantunya yang sibuk bekerja bermain di
luar, tetapi pintu pagar tetap dikunci.

Bermainlah dia sama ada berbuai-buai di atas buaian yang dibeli bapanya,
ataupun memetik bunga raya, bunga kertas dan lain-lain di laman rumahnya.

Suatu hari dia terjumpa sebatang paku karat. Dia pun melakar simen tempat
letak kereta ayahnya tetapi kerana diperbuat daripada marmar,lakaran tidak
kelihatan. Dicubanya pada kereta baru ayahnya. Ya... kerana kereta itu
bewarna gelap, lakarannya jelas.Apa lagi kanak-kanak ini pun melakarlah
melahirkan kreativitinya. Hari itu bapa dan ibunya bermotosikal ke tempat
kerja kerana laluannya sesak sempena perayaan Thaipusam.

Penuh sebelah kanan dia beredar ke sebelah kiri kereta. Dilakarnya gambar
ibu dan ayahnya, gambarnya sendiri, lukisan ayam, kucing dan sebagainya
mengikut imaginasinya. Kejadian itu langsung tak disedari si pembantu
rumah.

Pulang petang itu, terkejut badaklah pasangan itu melihat kereta yang baru
setahun dibeli dengan bayaran ansuran, berbatik-batik. Si bapa yang belum
pun masuk ke rumah terus menjerit, "Siapa punya kerja ni?" Pembantu rumah
yang tersentak dengan jeritan itu berlari keluar. Dia juga beristighfar.
Mukanya merah padam ketakutan tambah-tambah melihat wajah bengis tuannya.

Sekali lagi diajukan pertanyaan keras kepadanya, dia terus mengatakan "Tak
tahu... !" "Duduk di rumah sepanjang hari tak tahu, apa kau buat?" herdik
si isteri lagi.

Sia anak yang mendengar suara ayahnya, tiba-tiba berlari keluar dari bilik.
Dengan penuh manja dia berkata "Ita buat ayahhh.. cantik kan!" katanya
menerkam ayahnya ingin bermanja seperti selalu. Si ayah yang hilang sabar
merentap ranting kecil pokok bunga raya di depannya, terus dipukul
bertalu-talu tapak tangan anaknya. Si anak yang tak mengerti apa-apa
terlolong-lolong kesakitan sekaligus ketakutan.Puas memukul tapak tangan,
si ayah memukul pula belakang tangan anaknya. Si ibu cuma mendiamkan diri,
mungkin setuju dan berasa puas dengan hukuman yang dikenakan.

Pembantu rumah melopong, tak tahu nak buat apa-apa. Si bapa cukup rakus
memukul-mukul tangan kanan dan kemudian tangan kiri anaknya.

Selepas si bapa masuk ke rumah dituruti si ibu, pembantu rumah menggendong
anak kecil itu, membawanya ke bilik. Dilihatnya tapak tangan dan belakang
tangan si anak kecil calar balar. Pembantu rumah memandikan anak kecil itu.
Sambil menyiram air sambil dia menangis. Anak kecil itu pula terjerit-jerit
menahan kepedihan sebaik calar-balar itu terkena air. Si pembantu rumah
kemudian menidurkan anak kecil itu. Si bapa sengaja membiarkan anak itu
tidur bersama pembantu rumah.

Keesokkan harinya, kedua-dua belah tangan si anakbengkak. Pembantu rumah
mengadu. "Sapukan minyak gamat tu!" balas tuannya, bapa si anak.

Pulang dari kerja, dia tidak melayan anak kecil itu yang menghabiskan masa
di bilik pembantu. Si bapa konon mahu mengajar anaknya. Tiga hari berlalu,
si ayah langsung tidak menjenguk anaknya sementara si ibu juga begitu
tetapi setiap hari bertanya kepada pembantu rumah. "Ita demam... " jawap
pembantunya ringkas.

"Bagi minum panadol tu," balas si ibu. Sebelum si ibu masuk bilik tidur dia
menjenguk bilik pembantunya. Apabila dilihat anaknya Ita dalam pelukan
pembantu rumah, dia menutup semula pintu. Masuk hari keempat, pembantu
rumah memberitahu tuannya bahawa suhu badan Ita terlalu panas. "Petang
nanti kita bawa ke klinik. Pukul 5.00 siap" kata majikannya itu. Sampai
waktunya si anak yang longlai dibawa ke klinik. Doktor mengarahnya ia
dirujuk ke hospital kerana keadaannya serius. Setelah seminggu di wad
pediatrik doktor memanggil bapa dan ibu kanak-kanak itu. "Tiada pilihan.."
katanya yang mencadangkan agar kedua-dua tangan kanak-kanak itu dipotong
kerana gangren yang terjadi sedah terlalu teruk. "Ia sudah bernanah, demi
nyawanya tangan perlu dipotong dari siku ke bawah" kata doktor. Si bapa dan
ibu bagaikan terkena halilintar mendengar kata-kata itu. Terasa diri
tunggang terbalik, tapi apalah dapat dikatakan. Si ibu meraung merangkul si
anak. Dengan berat hati dan lelehan air mata isterinya, si bapa
terketar-ketar madandatangani surat kebenaran pembedahan.

Keluar dari bilik pembedahan, selepas ubat bius yang dikenakan habis, si anak menangis
kesakitan.Dia juga terpinga-pinga melihat kedua-dua tangannya berbalut putih.
Direnung muka ayah dan ibunya. Kemudian ke wajah pembantu rumah. Dia
mengerutkan dahi melihat mereka semua menangis. Dalam seksaan menahan
sakit, si anak yang keletah bersuara dalam linangan air mata.

"Abah..Mama... Ita tak buat lagi. Ita tak mau ayah pukul. Ita tak mau jahat. Ita
sayang abah.. sayang mama." katanya berulang kali membuatkan si ibu gagal
menahan rasa. "Ita juga sayang Kak Narti.." katanya memandang wajah
pembantu rumah, sekaligus membuatkan gadis dari Surabaya itu meraung
seperti histeria. "Abah.. bagilah balik tangan Ita. Buat apa ambil.. Ita
janji tak buat lagi! Ita nak makan macam mana? Nak main macam mana? Ita
janji tak conteng kereta lagi," katanya bertalu-talu. Bagaikan gugur
jantung si ibu mendengar kata-kata anaknya. Meraung dia sekuat hati namun
takdir yang sudah terjadi, tiada manusia dapat menahannya.

Zee Avi (U go Borneon!!)

Zee Avi is just 23 but she’s an old soul. A huge talent in a petite frame bringing a universal message from the unlikely birthplace of Borneo, an ancient island east of Malaysia which remains an untouched, natural paradise, an apt description of her songs.

How Avi came to record her debut album in L.A., the first joint release from Ian Montone’s Monotone Label and Jack Johnson’s Brushfire Records, is a true 21st century tale of the way the Internet has transformed the music business and shrunk the globe in the process.

Born in the tiny town of Miri in Sarawak on the island of Borneo, Zee grew up near the South China Sea in a liberal, encouraging household where her father owned an energy consultancy. “I was bred to be a lawyer,” she says, but music was in her blood. Her father’s father sang and played double-bass, accordion, violin and guitar in bands.

At age 12, Zee moved from Borneo to Kuala Lumpur where she has been based since. At 17, Zee started locking herself in a room for hours on end to learn to play guitar. Guitar took a back seat for 4 years while she was studying fashion design in London. When she returned to Kuala Lumpur, she picked the instrument back up and began writing songs and performing with a band.

Zee began recording her songs on a webcam and posting them on YouTube for a friend to hear. “I remember getting so excited when there was one new comment from some random person I didn’t know… One read ‘I’m lost for words - I shall favorite it and ponder if that’s OK,’ ” which was written by Kris Rowley, a U.K. singer-songwriter with a YouTube following under the name Zzzzzzzzap. He began posting her videos on his site, which began a viral snowball effect.

The day before her 22nd birthday, Zee posted what she intended to be “my last video,” a holiday song, “No Christmas for Me.” By the time she checked her e-mail Avi had almost 3,000 messages including a slew of label offers. One email came from Ian Montone, who had been shown the YouTube clip by Raconteurs’ drummer, Patrick Keeler, prompting Montone to get in touch and offer to release her music on the Monotone Label.

Before she knew it Zee was on a plane to L.A. to record her debut with producer Robert Carranza at Brushfire’s Solar Powered Plastic Plant. “No Christmas for Me” was then featured on the holiday charity album, This Warm December, A Brushfire Holiday, Vol. 1.

With an eclectic pool of influences that range from such eccentrics as Cat Power, Regina Spektor, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Jolie Holland, Daniel Johnston and Chris Garneau, to jazz greats Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, to classics like Velvet Underground and Led Zeppelin, this self-described “rock lover at heart” captures the dark, bittersweet qualities of romance with a crack left open for hope and optimism.

From the sensuous scat singing on “Honey Bee” to the sultry break-up song, “Is This the End,” recalling the existential longing of Peggy Lee’s “Is That All There Is,” Zee is hopeful of finding love, but equally aware of lurking heartache.

The songs on Zee Avi’s debut are about an outsider’s desire to belong and the tentative hope of moving on, filled with regret and loss, but boasting an impish, worldly wise sensibility. “I tend to be a loner,” she nods. ” ‘Honey Bee’ is about a romance between two nonconformists who are different from the rest of the hive, and are trying to avoid the pressure to be like everybody else.”

“Just You and Me,” the first song she wrote on ukulele, has a ‘20s New Orleans swing jazz vibe.

“I get my melodic feel from the simplicity of classic jazz, people singing what they felt with straightforward lyrics and not too many harmonies,” Zee says. “Just a lot of honesty. I’m a girl of simple pleasures.

The elemental acoustic guitar of “Story of…” is enhanced with an Eno-like ambience that add to its shimmering quality, while “Poppy” is autobiographical “with a little bit of poetic license” that looks back at the demise of a two-year relationship.

“My stuff is pretty dark,” Zee admits. “Most of my songs are about the reality side of romance, outlets to vent my emotions.”

While her live experience amounts to playing gigs in Kuala Lumpur, Zee appeared this January on From the Basement, the U.K. TV webcast/broadcast that has featured Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, Damien Rice, the White Stripes and the Shins. From the Basement will also air on the U.S.‘s IFC Channel.

From Malaysia to Los Angeles, Zee Avi is enjoying the ride and ready to take on passengers. “I’m still pinching myself” she gushes. “My parents always told me it’s important to keep yourself grounded. I’m thankful, but at the same time, I just want to jump through the roof. It’s been a pretty amazing journey, getting to work with some really wonderful people, a blessing, really.”

Zee Avi’s Monotone/Brushfire Records debut returns that blessing…and then some.

Monotone Records is owned by Ian Montone, whose Monotone, Inc. manages the White Stripes, M.I.A., The Shins, Vampire Weekend, the Raconteurs, Against Me!, Cold War Kids, Crookers, among others.

Brushfire Records is owned by Jack Johnson and his manager Emmett Malloy and is home to artists like Rogue Wave, Matt Costa, Neil Halstead, Money Mark, G. Love, Mason Jennings, ALO and Zach Gill.

Amanda Imani

Selamilah Cinta

Baby
Cuba kau renungkan mataku ini

Korus
Cinta bisa berubah segala
Segala-galanya

Kerna tiada yang seindah cinta
Bila terpaku pada cintanya

Cintailah cintaku ini
Dan aku amat mencintai kamu
Percayalah kau akan rasa sesuatu
Bila kau selami cintaku

Selamilah selamilah cinta

ulang korus:

AMANDA Imani, 16, is just like any average teenager, except that her distinctive soulful voice makes her stand out above the rest.

Although Amanda has been seen in the equestrian scene, where she trains and takes part in upcoming dressage competition and events, her first and foremost passion is singing.

Amanda said her interest in singing began at a very young age and she aspired to be an international artist.

“My style of singing is very jazzy, RnB and soul. I like these genres because they are very deep and very expressive and are different from the kind of music that kids my age listen to,” she said. (The STAR ,Thursday 4th October 2007)

Pergi by Aizat (OST Talentime)

Sayu terpisah
hikayat indah kini hanya tinggal sejarah
berhembus angin rindu
begitu nyamannya terhidu wangian kasihmu

hujan lebat mencurah kini
bagaikan tiada henti
kaulah laguku kau irama terindah
tak lagi kudengari
kau pergi.. pergi..

sepi tanpa kata
terdiam dan kaku tak daya kau kulupa
apa pun kata mereka
biarkan kenangan berbunga di ranting usia

Alih bahasa

Last time i posted my favorite dialogue taken from the movie Puteri Gunung Ledang, coincidentally that particular entry has been read by a non Malay reader who is so interested to know the meaning of the dialogue in English. So i tried my best to translate it to simple English, here goes..

(Gusti Putri Retno Dumillah)
Setiap orang punya impian
(Every person have a dream)
Impian itu yang bisa meneruskan kehidupan
(That dream made u go thru ur life)
Impian dinda adalah untuk mendapatkan cinta sejati
(My dream is to get my true love)

(Datuk Laksmana Hang Tuah)
Jika patah sayap rajawali
(If Rajawali's wing broken)
Bertongkat jua kanda kemari
( I would still come even with a cane)
heheh funny la bah bunyi dia..pakar bahasa tulung translate.hehe

(Gusti Putri Retno Dumillah)
Adinda anggap sebagai janji..
(I take that as a promise)

(Datuk Laksmana Hang Tuah)
Setapak melangkah
(Each of my step)
Dua langkah ingatan kanda pada dinda
(I will remember u, two steps more)
masi lagi rasa cam nda ngam..hehehe

(Gusti Putri Retno Dumillah)
Adinda bersumpah
(I swear)
Jikalau kekanda tidak kembali
(If u r not coming back)
Adinda akan menyusul kekanda
(I will look for u)
Memijak pada tanah yang sama
(Stepping on the same ground)
Bernafas pada udara yang sama
(Breathing the same air)

(Datuk Laksmana Hang Tuah)
Layar berbelok-belok
(The sail is uneasy)
Sauh dibungkar di tempat tenang
(A calm place burst by the anchor)
Yang tinggal hati tak elok
(The one who stays feel so sad)
Yang pergi hati tak senang
(The one who leaves feel so bad)
Bila sampai waktu Kita akan bersama
(When the time has come, we will be together)

I apologize for any broken english while translating the dialogue..Kalau ko nda paham2 jugak..Ko pikir la sendiri..hehehhe..

Hari Hari

If its in English..it will be Daily...but the origin is in Chinese..So the name is Thien Thien (to my Chinese friend, correct me if im wrong ya). Its quite well known Chinese Restaurant in KK and it became more famous since they got the Halal certificate from JHEAINS. Last saturday I and my other two close frens went there again for our late lunch. Here are the dishes that we ordered,

Kon Lau Mee with Fried Sesame Chicken
(ini aku yg order..sedaaaap)

Gg n Mael makan nasi putih dan lauk2nya ialah ;


Sweet n Sour Chicken
(to me its Thien Thien's signature dish)


Scrambled Egg with Crab Meat


Baby Kailan with XO Sauce


Bak Choy with Oyster Sauce

Maybe most of you would say that all the dishes are quite common rite? but tell u what..after u try it, u would say that the taste is great n different form other place! What i like about this restaurant is not only because of they have delicious variety of food but most important is because the taste of the food is CONSISTENT!Its the main factor if u want ur food outlet to last long.The taste is still the same like what i experienced the first time i came here which was 3 years ago.Now they have new branch located at Putatan Plaza next to Giant Hypermall Putatan. If u love chinese food and HALAL, Thien Thien Restaurant is the best place to pamper ur appetite!

IMPIAN

(Gusti Putri Retno Dumillah)
Setiap orang punya impian
Impian itu yang bisa meneruskan kehidupan
Impian dinda adalah untuk mendapatkan cinta sejati

(Datuk Laksmana Hang Tuah)
Jika patah sayap rajawali
Bertongkat jua kanda kemari


(Gusti Putri Retno Dumillah)
Adinda anggap sebagai janji..


(Datuk Laksmana Hang Tuah)
Setapak melangkah
Dua langkah ingatan kanda pada dinda


(Gusti Putri Retno Dumillah)
Adinda bersumpah
Jikalau kekanda tidak kembali
Adinda akan menyusul kekanda
Meminjak pada tanah yang sama
Bernafas pada udara yang sama


(Datuk Laksmana Hang Tuah)

Layar berbelok-belok
Sauh dibungkar di tempat tenang
Yang tinggal hati tak elok
Yang pergi hati tak senang
Bila sampai waktu Kita akan bersama

BAGAIKAN SAKTI

Cinta datang
Tanpa diundang
Seumur masa tercipta

Dia datang bagai sakti
Bagai menyaksi mekar
Kembang pagi oh...

Cinta datang
Dengan senyuman
Panasnya membakar mentari

Wajahnya yang tergambar
Tak akan terpudar
Dari hati insan yang fana ini
Fana ini....

Tak mungkin mentari
Akan terus sembunyi

Tiada sempadan
Tak bisa ku lewati

Cinta ini hakikatnya
Aku serahkan jiwa dan ragaku
Menanti mu walau sengsara
Jika ini ketentuannya

Cinta ini hakikatnya
Aku serahkan jiwa dan raga
Jika ini ketentuannya
Kau kan....... jadi milik ku
jua...

Dedication

So Close sang by John Mcluaghlin. I never heard of this singer before until i watch Enchanted recently on Astro. His vocal really suits the melody and the lyrics is very easy to understand.

Since I love this song so much, I would love to dedicate it to whoever out there who is soo in to someone he/she adore. Express your love to the fullest..get rid of all those ego and uncertainty. Just be ur self and grab the chances while u can..Forget what the consequences will be because u will never know until u do it..One of my friend always tell me that 'Its Now or Never'. So u choose which path u prefer!Do enjoy the song!

You’re in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I’m with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you
So close

So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come
So far we are so close

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We’re so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far
