For me, I would normally join some family camp around this time at some resorts and you can get to hear some traditional music being aired in the resorts(weird). Also, those Sumazau dances will be performed at resorts or possibly at the shopping centres.
So for those non-Sabahans, if interested in Sabah please pay a visit to Sabah and enjoy our hospitality and beauty of our state. LOL..sounds like promoting! but yeah,haha.
These pictures have little relation to the festival but these pictures have been taken in Sabah and would like to describe Sabah with these few pictures.
Sabah, a land of freedom( my house)
A land rich in cultures ( unicorn dance)
A land of uniqueness ( Tarap, bet all non-Sabahans never heard of it)
A land where modernity meets nature ( Kota Kinabalu, the state capital)
A land of struggle for political autonomy and better future ( poster from PKR, LOL!)
A land of unity ( at Kundasang)
A land of beautiful marine ecology (ok, it's just a tank, but there are really lots of beutiful coral reefs out there for touritsts to visit)
A land of celebration ( I think we're celebrating Lee's birthday)
A land of peace and tranquility( my house)
A land of splendid scenery ( Mount Kinabalu)
A land of natural beauty
A land abundant in food ( Ah Moo and Siao Di)
A land rich in various kinds of cuisines( Ding Lao Ban enjoying his lunch)
A land of diversity in food ('GiLeen' Diam at Tuaran)
A land of long lasting friendship ( old classmates at TumBui's birthday)
A land of leisure and entertainment ( banana boat at Pulau Manukan)
A land of harmony ( form 6 )
A land of diversity in life ( a stick bug))
A land of surprises ( rare insect)
A land abundant in floral diversity ( the Rafflesia)
A land of hospitality (Traditional Murut Longhouse)
That's the Sabah I saw through my lens but of course it does not show everything(especially the Orang Utan and Pygmy elephants), but ....
Kotobian Tadau Tagazo Do Kaamatan! everybody!
Plus....I celebrated my Kaamatan outside Sabah in a Malaysian restaurant in NZ.

That fruit is tasty for us! native to Borneo.
It's Kaamatan, not a Malay word, it's a KadazanDusun term. meaning Harvest Festival or something like that.
we do not celebrate it as 'grand' as in the NS Camp, we Sabahans just went for lunch together and that's it. haha
