This year, I went back to my kampung just in time during Gawai Eve. I rush went back using my motorcycle and took about 2 hours riding from Kuching to Sematan. I miss almost of the side event before the main event which is the 31st May and the midnight 1 of June. So this year I didn't feel the HEAT of this Gawai 2013 celebration. But even though I'm not 100% full participate all the activities this year, at least, I still can be part of the nearly vanish traditional culture event... hehehe
The above picture shows the activity before and after the Gawai 2013
Yah... the night Gawai Eve is the most waiting event a.k.a "must not miss" event of the day. This is where all the kampung people enjoy dancing after the long waited day and celebrate the Gawai before the 1st of June. The Ketua Kampung will lead the then and the main event of Gawai 2013 Started.
