Gawai

2nd June

My family and I went back to Kuching as I had to go to work the day after. Daddy and I woke up early. Both of us had breakfast together while Mommy and Sis went upstair to pack our bags.

After breakfast, Daddy went to start Mr. White but Mr. White wouldn't woke up as his batteries went flat. Fortunately, my uncle have a spare jumper and it helped to transfer some of Mr. Gold energy to Mr. White.

As soon as we arrived home, we unpacked, clean and etc. We decided to go to The Spring in the afternoon but canceled it as everyone was exhausted. Therefore, we spent the rest of the day resting at home :)

1st June

It was Gawai but didn't felt like one. You see, some of my cousins were away on holiday so it felt a bit lonely without them. Also, 2 deaths occurred in the kampung. Hence, the happy celebration turned kinda grim. Nobody went visiting except for some outsiders from town. Most of the villagers went to mourn the dead. It was even creepier at night. Usually, you will hear a lot of children & teenagers laughing, walking in large group and visiting houses but this year, there were less. I think the they were scared to go out at night.

31st May

Daddy woke me up around 8 a.m. (I guessed) for breakfast. After tidying up and stuff, we (Daddy, Sis & me) went to Stutong Comunity Market. We bought prawns and veggies. It was Monday and sadly there were no pork. I wonder why? Hmm...

Anyway, after shopping, we went to the first floor to have our breakfast. Unfortunately the Kueh Chap's stall ran out of pork innards so we had to go somewhere else. A lot of shop houses were closed on that day so it was pretty hard to search for a Kueh Chap stall. Sis and I suggested that we should go to Tabuan Jaya but Daddy went to Tabuan Laru instead =.=' Luckily, there was a Kueh Chap stall there and he had our breakfast.

Arrived at home, we did our share of chores. Daddy clean the fridge, Sis clean the house while me, I clean the prawns~ :3 After going through the chores, it was time to hit the couch ^^ Lunch was self service which meant everyone prepare their own so, I had banana chips for lunch.

After some time, I packed my bags, bathed and get ready for the trip to kampung around 5 p.m. . Arriving at kampung, my Sis and I went to help Mommy preparing for the night's feast. There were tonnes of stuff to prepare.

At the feast, my youngest uncle brought his girlfriend to kampung so everyone was excited to see how she look like.
