For us people of Sabah, the KadazanDusun, Muruts, Rungus and more…, we are celebrating the Harvest Festival or in Bahasa Malaysia, Pesta Menuai between 30th and 31st May every year. It’s a celebration that marks the end of a good harvesting season, the padi. The celebration is to give respect and thanksgiving to the GODS of the padi or the ’semangat’.

One thing that I missed a lot is the rice wine or ‘tapai ‘ and other fermented drinks that is a must during the celebration and also the ‘Unduk Ngadau’ or the Harvest Queen. If you need more clarification on this, my buddy PaPaJoneh posted about the Harvest Festival and his explanation is I believe are more better compared to mine. Oh by the way, someone actually compiled a whole list of the Harvest Queen since 1960-2004! Check out the Unduk Nagadau’s. Cool lah. Any Sabahan reader here who’s grandma was an ex Harvest Queen?

So, for all my Sabahan buddies who are in Sabah right now, please drink responsibly and do remember your comrades who are not in Sabah (including me) right now because we really miss home….sob..sob

My dad is in the medical field. During his earlier days in Sabah, Malaysia, they use to fly into remote areas to provide medical care to rural folks. They were called the ‘Flying Doctors’ although he is not a doctor. It was a cool experience according to him. They are able to reach people faster and with much lesser obstacles compared to using road transport.

Just when I thought that was cool, I found out a company that are doing just that! Have you come across an air ambulance service? A company at AirAmbulance.net is among or perhaps the only such company in the US that provides such services. Some of the jet planes that you can charter for any of your emergency or basic needs includes Lear Jets 55, 36, 35, and 25, Turbo Props and Twin engine planes. They are licensed by FAA and are Air Ambulance certified. If you or your loved ones are in need of medical attention like Stroke, Cancer or Heart Transplant, you will be able to save a lot of time plus you can choose your own destination as well as an option to bring your own doctor in the flight. No Doctor? No problem. All Air Ambulance staffs are trained in flight physiology. Flight paramedics are on board in case their help is needed. Check out their services today.

If you ever get down at the KLCC LRT station, turning right after going through the little gate you will see this place called Avenue K. It is actually kind of like a mall or something. They have some major designer labels boutique as well as other familiar store like Toys ‘R’ Us etc…
Currently they are having like some sort of art exhibition showcasing some cool art work for video games, garments and other stuff that I don’t really understand. But it is really interesting. I feel like I know what I was doing. Stopping at certain designs and crossing my arms, holding my chin and saying hmm.., ah… Read more »
