Starting from 1st of June, it’s the celebration of the harvest festival, or known as the Gawai Festival (gawai actually means “festive”). This is a festival celebrated by the Dayaks of Sabah and Sarawak. Normally, they will go back to their hometown, or kampung in their language to celebrate with the family in the Rumah Panjai (longhouse).
Orange is an Iban (the largest population native in Sarawak), he went back to his kampung 4 days ago. I was and still so lonely. T_T
Anyway, wishing those who celebrate the festive “Selamat Ari Gawai” and “Gayu guru gerai nyamai” (having a prosperous life)

Dayak mainly available in sarawak, so Dayak / Gawai festival mainly celebrated in s’wak on 1/6 & 2/6.
While in Sabah, they normally call it as “Harvest Festival”, which fall on 30/5 & 31/5.
