Interesting? Spooky? Eerie? Scary? Scared the shit out of you? Hopefully not... This is not Fear Factor. It is not an uncommon scene to see real human skulls hanging from the rafters in the longhouses in Sarawak.
Fear Not. Psssss.. I too had one set of real human skeleton including the skull in the past.... which had accompanied me for the one whole academic year during my first year in uni ;)p/s : Please don't curse nor freak out if u happened to read this post in the middle of the night.

I thot doctors use the skeleton replica to practise on, not real one???
*shriek*
tengkorak!!!!!
*cabut*
btw, out of curiosity wana ask, what is the significance of hanging.. err, skull? is it as blessing or just mere decoration?
:)
kyh,
Good boy :)
u can go & eat your char hor fun liao
rinnah,
Nope, we use real skeleton & few of us shared one set during those days.
Real cadavers & real skeleton..
Dissecting the real corpses..
At least this is the case in my university.
Why want to use replica when the real one is available? ;)
Nowadays there are too many private uni & colleges budding..
I dunno what are their settings..
butt,
cabut again?
Come Back !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got meaning behind it wan why they hang the skulls. But I can't remember the details liao. I will find out & let u know later on :P
u went to the longhouse to snap snap???
skull not geli... my fren who's currently studying medicine in India...u know wat... her hostel... the first floor is solely used for storing dead bodies... as u know la... most Indians there are poor and hv no money to hold funerals for their dead relatives, hence they sell it to the medical colleges and unis. and she stays on the 4th floor alone in her room. damn eerie nia when nite comes... and esp when u need to go out kia kia... hv to past the first floor!
btw, i finished my char hor fun dy! KKK!!
not scared.. not scared.. *breathe*
kyh,
Kkk.. wanna pay a visit to Sarawak Longhouse? Interested? ;)
Your poor friend. It is scary at first but I'm sure as time goes, she will eventually get used to it ;) Actually nothing to scared of once u r used to it.
We put the real skeletons inside our own rooms too in the hostel. In fact under the table next to the bed. I played with the skeletons too on & off, throwing the skull up & down or hitting the femur bone at my hand ;)
misti,
The skull loves u..
cos u r not scared of them
Kkkkkkkkkkk.....
No worry, u won't dream of "them" tonight ;)
I always very very scared when visit the Sarawak Museum longhouse section. Don't dare look up. HEhehhe.. my dad claims that he spent his uni life sleeping above a skeleton. Cos his roomie was studying med.. before my dad slept at night, roomie still studying. Halfway he woke up at night, roomie studying... in the morning woke up, roomie still studying!!!

Thanks for the write up. Interesting indeed!

No, unfortunately we don't deal with the real skull. We have to use our own imaginations.. got fake plastic/rubber models from the medical museum for us though..

Hahhaha
day dreamer,
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk...

Bites kaw kaw hoh?
Hahhaha
lynnx,
Too bad ...
Might be that's one of the difference of studying in local uni compared to the "private" uni?
Do u get to dissect the real cadaver?
who in the world would have the right mind to use skull as a companion.
huh!! did I passed out for sooo.....long!!!???
zewt,
This is part of their culture. U forgotten about Sarawak is previously known as the Land of Head Hunter? But those were the old days. Now it's another different era.
iml,
yeah.. i'm worried :P
Intriguing images!
Quite out of this world!
CSC,
Hehehe, this is something "common" in the longhouse in Sarawak, especially the traditional rural long houses :)
