FOR THE BENEFIT OF FRIENDS WHO WISH TO BE ANONYMOUS, I DAH UBAH SETTINGS TO ENABLE COMMENTS FROM ANON.. :)
Mungkin di sini tidak terasa tetapi kalau di Sabah ..hujung minggu ini adalah tadau tagazo do Kaamatan atau Pesta Menuai.
The Kaamatan festival is an annual event in the cultural life of the Kadazandusuns of Sabah since time immemorial. In its deepest sense, Kaamatan festival is a manifestation of Creator and Creation relationship, as well as Inter-Creations relationship. It embodies the principal acts of invocation of divinities, appeasing, purification and restoration, re-union of benevolent spirits, and thanksgiving to the Source of All. It is part of a complex wholesome Momolian religious system centered on the paddy rites of passage and the life cycle of Bambarayon - the in-dwelling spirit of paddy.
The Sabahan will be having a looongg holiday...30 and 31 May will be a holiday for them..wah sooo seronok.. Pada masa ini the highlight of the day will be the Unduk Ngadau competition.. a few years back, my sister in law used to join this competition at district level hehehe... Even after giving birth to 7 children, she's still pretty. Agaknya tips2 yang beliau perolehi semasa mengikuti pertandingan tersebut membantunyan

The only thing that i dislike about Kaamatan is the attitude of those who drink like a fish and cari gaduh bila dah mabuk. haiyooo..kalau bukan Kaamatan pun, kalau hari rabu masa hari tamu di pekan Tamparuli, memang akan kelihatan mereka yang dah mabuk ini membuat bising di pasar. Masa dulu-dulu, sebelum mampu memiliki kenderaan sendiri, dan kena naik bas [atau dipanggil van kalau di kampung mokcik]...memang mengelak sangat naik dengan dorang ni. Sekali dia masuk jer dlm van, bau semerbak bau tapai memang akan memenuhi ruangan.. urghhh... kalau nasib baik, dia diam. Kalau nasib tak baik, adalah yang tak berhenti2 bercakap benda merapu2 sepanjang perjalanan..alahaiii...
Oklah...gotta go now. Selamat berhujung minggu. Mungkin ramai yang mengambil cuti sempena cuti sekolah ini.. selamat bercuti...Bulih bah kalau kau boss! hahahha...opss..
pada yang meraikan Kaamatan, ramailah orang di kampung yang akan ber ' Aramai Tii' sampai merah2 muka...maka ramai yang kogutan [hang over].. maka diam2 sahajalah dalam rumah. jangan buat bising atau kekacauan ya.
Have a fabulous weekend everybody..
