Greenwood…

This…

…is the name that they have given to Peter’s wooden house that I blogged about not too long ago.

I did not manage to go upstairs the last time so I quickly grabbed the chance when I was invited to a special dinner/gathering there the other night.

This mannequin…

…in his Iban ethnic outfit stood guard at the door to welcome all and sundry and this is one half of the upstairs section of the house…

This was where we sat, the guests, at the table on the right while the family members sat at the other table on the far end. There is another table laid out where I stood to take the photograph – I heard that that was for a group of Singaporeans who had made a reservation for dinner that same night and Peter forgot all about it and went on to arrange his own gathering – in the end, he just had it altogether at one go, killing two birds with one stone, so to speak.

The shelves were filled with memorabilia and souvenirs that Peter had accumulated…

…from his travels to so many different countries in the world…

…and I love his collection of sun hats (terendak) on the walls here…

…and there…

…and everywhere.

The Singaporeans were obviously impressed – they were all over the place taking close up snapshots of EVERYTHING from different angles…

…and needless to say, the buffet spread stole the show that night but that will be in the next post. You’ll stick around, won’t you?
