Soon, on the 1st of June, the Dayaks in Sarawak will celebrate
Gawai festival. The Dayaks would visit their friends and relatives on this day. Such visit is more commonly known as
"ngabang" in the Iban language
but those too far away to visit would receive greeting cards.
Gawai is a major event for Sarawakians. As usual, many people will apply for annual leave and that includes me. I will be away for a week. On Saturday, I will start driving back to my hometown. Tonight, will have to pick my relatives from the airport. I hope I still can blog because I love blogging so much.
