Happy Fathers Day to all Kayan Amei


What am i going to write? I was trying to calm myself and not to burst out.. Pernahkah itam pelemanak.. ngeniheng dahin "feel" the challenge of being father?


Tough, really tough for me.. being a son is not as easy as it look.. one thing for sure, i cant afford to screw up in any of my steps.. seriously.. no mistake allowed. My life is about being a very responsible son, a leader. Trying to take everything done, by my own.. sometimes i feel like a damn burden.. but to think it back.. the reason our father working so hard.. despite of his poorness.. it is worth it.. I’m willing to take this on board… I don’t mind all the pains..the scar.. Because i know, its for our future and i thanks you for that. amei. i learn from it.. how’s it taste! About "urip", about surviving in this world.. u really do.. even it is different from the way others teach their kids..


To all "APAIs men usun tana" out there,.....Happy Belated Father’s day..
