My House is divided into two floors. On downstairs, I have all the important parts of the house such as the kitchen, bathrooms, storage room and parking garage. On upstairs I have one room where I keep the washer and dryer and one big terrace.

Downstairs, the floor is divided in eight rooms, four of them are bedrooms, other two are bathrooms and then one kitchen and one dining room.

In my bedroom, I have a lot of things inside, such as a television, a playstation 3, and many trophies. In my sister's bedroom, there is a computer and in the other two bedrooms are for my parent and my other sister.

Normally we eat in everywhere we want, but on Sunday we eat together in the dining room. I really love my house, the place where we could share everything together.

People called them Bujang Sembilan. These nine brothers were Kukuban, Kudun, Bayua, Malintang, Galapuang, Balok, Batang, Bayang, and the youngest man named Kaciak. While their brother the youngest was a girl named Siti Rasani, nicknamed Sani. Both their parents died long ago, so Kukuban as the eldest son became the head of household. All decisions were in his hand.

Tenth brothers lived in a house of their parents' heritage. To make ends meet, they worked on farms large enough legacy of their parents. They were very skilled at farming, because they diligently helped his father and mother when they were alive. In addition, they were also guided by their uncle named Datuk Limbatang, whom they called Engku familiar.

Datuk Limbatang was a mamak in the village and had a son named Giran. As a mamak, Datuk Limbatang had great responsibility to educate and watch the life of its citizens, including the nephew's tenth man.
