Another thing why I love Ka'amatan is because of its costume.
Although I only wore that in 4,
I still remember that clothes.
I really like it.
Too bad I am not at hometown,
if not I can scan the photo and post it here.
During Ka'amatan, every Kadazan will celebrate together,
as a thanksgiving sign for the Creator.
And they will pray for the upcoming harvest.
For Kadazan, it is very special and important day,
like CNY, raya, Christmas etc.
I think everyone should know about Ka'amatan.
Not only because we are Malaysian;
it is also reminds us to show respect for farmer.
Without them, we wouldn't have prosperous harvest every year;
and we don't even have rice to eat without them.
It isn't easy you know?
From transplantation to reaping,
it requires much effort to take care of the paddies.
Harvest is only twice a year.
If the paddies spoilt during the growth,
it means they get nothing from their half-year effort.
So, we shall appreciate the harvest season.
Again, Selamat Hari Ka'amatan. =)
Attached a chinese poem,
stating on appreciation for farmers.
