°ariezabohari°: ::: >>> My Festivals Part 2

here comes the last bit, fellas!

well, it seems that all 'big' events ended up today in Kuching. errrr, not really ALL, perhaps. persidangan majlis raja2 is no more, regatta dah hbs, craftangan showcase pun settled, cuti2 malaysia fair travel pun dah ended..

let me give u few details..

1) persidangan majlis raja2 was held in Kuching bersempena dgn perasmian bangunan Dewan Undangan Negeri Sarawak yg baru, worth of approximately 300 millons msian ringgit! wippy! is this worth it? u decide...

the new DUN's Building

2) kapal berhias this year diadakan bersempena dgn kedatangan raja2. dulu2 time aku kecik berhingus, setiap tahun ada perarakan kapal berhias & keta berhias (usually when Hari Bandaraya came).. but it has been years since the last time these sort of march were done in Kuching. many govt and non-govt companies show their talents in presenting themselves thru lighting decorations... a good time for children to learn about COLOURS!!!

3) regatta is one of the annual events in Sarawak, which started from the year 1984 (either 84 or 85 la kot.. quite close). during this festival, ada macam2 aktiviti. the main attraction is lumba perahu (the long perahu yg more than 10 people have to kayuh side by side tu), lumba sampan, lumba jetski... extra events were held too, like menangkap itik (mmg kelakar!! manusia plak nampak cam sengal..), berenang menggunakan batang 'apong', etc..

4) craftangan & cuti2 malaysia fair travel showcase pulak were held bersempena dgn Kuching's Festival.. meraikan tahun ke-21 Bandaraya Kuching. bkn tu je, mcm2 sections of different functions dibukak. karaoke, kitchen corner, and (with a big and!) ILLEGAL SECTION of the youngsters bercintan-cintun... haih... *rosak rosak*

wah! terlebih pulak 'few' details yg aku nk bagi kat korang tu ek.. ampun.. and again, i will let the pictures reveal the rest...
