Father's Day Inspiration

Father's Day is a day for people to show appreciation for fathers or father figures. 

Created to complement the celebration of Mother's Day, many countries celebrate it on the third Saturday in June.

Countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Fiji however celebrates Father's Day on the first Saturday in September.

There are many things that people do to show their appreciation for their father.

Special picnics or a day out, Father's Day breakfast/lunch and charity activities are common activities apart from gift giving.

Many would think that giving a present is a very simple gesture.

So simple that it shouldn't take a lot of your time to come up with one.

But what if you've done it so many times that you are running out of ideas on what to give to that special dad in your life?

Well a present does not have to be bought.

But what if you have made many handmade gifts over the years and you would like to buy one this year instead?

Do not worry. 

I won't make a list of things that you could buy.

No, I won't do that ;p

Instead I am going to show you the things that I've seen so far on items that could be a Father's Day gift inspiration.

First and foremost, I would like you to know that I am not paid in any way to promote these products.

If you have a butchy dad, maybe a motorcycle helmet, guitar or beer stein would be nice gifts 

For dads who enjoys barbecuing, maybe a new barbecue pit or related accessories would do the trick.

Gags or gadgets maybe?

For the sporty dads, sports attire or equipment?

Or camping gears for all the nature-loving dads out there.

Today I saw an ad on tv from a very well known chemist promoting their Father's Day sale. 

So you can also get perfumes, vitamins and weight loss products for your dad. 

Fibre supplements for the health conscious dads perhaps?

Before I end my post, I'll also post a couple of videos on various possible gifts for the special dad or father figures in your life.

Are you inspired yet?

Kuching and Gawai Dayak Celebration

Hi everyone. It is good to be back blogging after many uninspired years. So I thought for my first post I would talk about the place where I come from.

I come from Kuching, the capital and the most populous city in the state of Sarawak in Malaysia. The word 'kuching' means cat in Malay, but the city was actually named after a tidal stream called Sungai Kuching.

Kuching is home to more than 30 different ethnic groups and I am very proud to say that I could speak in 5 different local languages.

As a Bidayuh lass, I used to celebrate Gawai Dayak when I was back in my hometown. Gawai Dayak is celebrated on 1st and 2nd June every year as both a religious and social occasion. It is a thanksgiving day marking a bountiful harvest with friends and family members would gather.

As I've been away from Kuching for the last 4 years, I have not been able to celebrate Gawai in a traditional way. But in the spirit of celebration and new beginnings, I hope my first post on Gawai this year will usher many more opportunities for me to blog and share about my adventures (and misadventures) in life.

Tara,tara,tara,tara,tara,uuuuuuhhhaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! *glass clinking*
