What a name .......

Yeap......what a name.......

I guess you did know about some of the area has a unique name...... Batang berjuntai, Janda Baik, Pendek, Bukit Katil, Menggatal and many more and for most of us is funny....... same goes here where I went to Sarawak from 31st Oct till 2nd Nov for promotion of my work and we went several places for Hit and Run event. One of the place called "Tatau"......

This place is one of a rural area in Sarawak. Nice place and very calm place. Not much people over there and in fact the population of the foreign worker is more than the local i believe. At first i dont actually know the name of the place.... then they keep on saying tatau several times....... i was like what the hell happen, sikit-sikit tatau, sikit-sikit tatu then aper yang they tau.........

I asked them, "ape yang tau and ape yang tatau.....? "

They laugh like hell when they heard what i ask. Then they explain that tatau is a name of a place. so i got a silly joke about that........

Foreign people came to Tatau and want to know the name of tatau....

Foreign people : Hello, you orang sini ka.....
Local : Ya, wa orang sini.
Foreign people : Apa nama tempat nie?
Local : Tatau
Foreign people : aiya, you cakap you org sini, tapi you tak tau plak nama tempat ni.
Local : Ya la, wa orang sini, ini tempat tatau mah.....
Foreign people : Pelik betul la you, cakap you orang sini, tapi tak tau nama tempat nie.....
Local : Halo blader, ini tempat nama Tatau, bukan wa tak tau.
( while show the signboard on the street)
Foreign people : Ooooooooo ( shy face turn up)
