I really appreciate your taking time to read my posts and leaving your comments!<br />@Angel, glad you found some answers!<br />@Rick, Frank McCourt? Owh, you're too kind. Among the top books I LOVE is Angela's Ashes.<br />@Kukuanga, I value your opinions and will keep in mind what you've said here and in other posts. I'll be writing about 'details' and other stuff soon.. like Reflections 2! Hopefully, you and Rick (and others too) will come visit. :-)<br />@Verone, glad that you too learnt something. My mother told me about 'tudipon'. She personally knew someone who had been a tudipon.. besides her step-mum's first husband. I was amazed that slaves existed! <br />She also used the word as a verb. "Mongudipon ko doho," she often said to my father!<br />I've no idea about the Bajau ulun, though. I've always thought 'ulun' is a Sabah word for servant! "Ko buat saya ulun saja," like we used to say!Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610228804345285508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4419042736661556334.post-50587585938878236392011-01-24T19:19:16.032+08:002011-01-24T19:19:16.032+08:00Tina, I am hoping to read another book of yours ve...Tina, I am hoping to read another book of yours very soon :) I actually learned a lot of things from the book. One of them was the existence of 'tudipon' in the Kota Belud Dusun clan of the time you were growing up. It fascinated me a lot because just a few days before reading that I've had a discussion with a Bajau friend about how in their society, there is that concept 'ulun' albeit unspoken among their people. I wonder if 'tudipon' is due to Bajau influence...Veronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240367782918077788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4419042736661556334.post-76835702864565047482011-01-24T08:49:04.213+08:002011-01-24T08:49:04.213+08:00Tina,
