I had my first vacation overseas, ever - and it was fun! Lucy brought me to live with her gramps' longhouse. The house is so long and there are about forty families or more live in it. But they are all very friendly. They asked me a lot of questions that I don't know which one to answer first it makes me feel like I am in the middle of a group of paparazzis! Two years waiting for this vacation to happen is worth it. Very worth it. I got the chance to see their annual celebration called Gawai.

Lucy's grandma signed her up for a beauty pegeant contest called 'kumang gawai' (which, Lucy begged her not to) and she won. I mean, look at her, she is pretty and her beauty outshine the other pretty girls who joined the contest too. Plus, Lucy is a great dancer. I guess, that is why she won. The contestant needs to be pretty and dance their traditional dance flawlessly. She is all that.

But there is one thing that keeps bothering me until now. Who is Sam? When I first arrived, Lucy's gramps kept asking "Sam is not joining us?" to her parents. I asked Lucy who Sam is but she kept changing the topic. Maybe it is her cousin?I don't know. I hope someday she will be able to tell me.

By the way, I heard dad is in town. Danny told me that his parents saw him driving a pick up truck and parked it infront of their restaurant. He said he had lunch there with a man that looks quite stoned. Dad probably drugged him, I guess. I hope he won't be coming home.
