I cant bloody believe this!
I just started a second blog purely in Bahasa Sarawak with bits of English.
And i talked about exactly this!The stereotype of Sarawak/Sarawakians.
Even the contents are almost the same.
I googled 'Sarawakian Bloggers' and found your blog.
Definitely a great read.
Stop over some time.
