Here ye here ye! There will be a music extravaganza going on at the most Northern tip of Borneo in Kudat. What is it? Sorry no rock concert here but this will calm even the angriest of beasts because it will be an orchestra. Do you know that not so long ago, Simpang mengayau used to be a place where people can find some old pottery, ceramics and even gold most probably from wrecked ships. Yeah imagine to buy gold coins right here!

Anyway here are some quick details of the even:

For a full detail head on to Sabah Tourism

Mention about Sabah and what comes to mind? Most folks out here in KL will mention things like beautiful nature, forest, Orang Utan, culture, travel, diving, snorkeling, food, festivities, wonderful people, hot Sabahan girls and more.

What is this about some coal-powered plants planned to be built? From what I read, the location has been changed twice due to pressures from the people of Sabah as well as organizations who want to protect the Beautiful Sabah soil.

Here’s a photo of the site in Lahad Datu that was proposed. What do you think?

The story has been featured on Mongabay.com.

Other web pages has been up to protest these as well. Below is the Postcard to PM project where you can print then send the Prime Minister of Malaysia some post cards to remind him of the issue:

It kind of reminds me of the Louisiana Jones Act. People Power ya’ll!

So see you there people. I wanna drink lihing with you!

The title should read as “I miss the Mabul meal times” since we were not allowed to stay overnight in Sipadan Island. But it was a Sipadan trip anyway..

One of the things that I look forward to during our stay in Uncle Chang’s Mabul island lodge are the meal times. That includes breakfast and tea time. There’s nothing awesomely special about the food during these sessions. I’m not a heavy coffee drinker but I find that coffee tasted so good here. Especially during sunset…aww! But perhaps it’s the atmosphere. It’s not like we have the ocean as our front yard for breakfast everyday back at home…

But the part I love the best is where the local fisherman comes by with their boat and offers their ‘hasil laut’ for sale. It was so and not to mention so reasonably priced! We can even get the singing chef to cook it for dinner or lunch. No need for extra supplements here like those at www.multivitamin-s.org… Seafood are served fresh here! Ah… Mabul – Sipadan. Me love you long-long…
