A very powerful house of Asia,
made with multiple materials and several distinct colours;
Chinese paints, Arabian decorations, Persian carpets and British Architecture
amongst others are the most conspicuous of its beautiful mixture.
Its dining place is carved out of the historic Sarawak chamber
where hot milk tea is served as breakfast
and could be made more luxurious and traditional
with a fragrant rice dish cooked in coconut milk
and served wrapped in a banana leaf.
On its walls are hanged, wooden masks, silver works
and hand woven baskets.
It protects its most cherished Tiger-pet in the backyard
and has for eight times adjusted the hands of its local clock.
This house still stands a growing global influence
because it is in a neighbourhood occupied by teenagers
fast growing to become Adults in global economy and civilization.
Shining unity
Gold, coal, adenanthera
The colours of bliss
The state flag of sarawak
Town: Marudi, State: Sarawak, Country: Malaysia
