2008-04-14 04:00:00 The following pictures were taken on 6th April 2008 (Sunday) about 10.50am. I was driving towards Lido from Inanam on the bypass.

I waited until I reached the Bukit Padang-Luyang intersection before taking the following pictures. In case ...

View of Kota Kinabalu city from possibly the tallest building downtown
2008-02-16 01:47:00 On 15th February, I attended a function on the top (13th) floor of Wisma Bandaraya, which is located in downtown Kota Kinabalu. The building previously housed the Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri which has since moved to its own building in Karamunsing. It is probably the tallest building at the city centre, and I was pleasantly surprised to ...

A review: Dewa 19, live in Kota Kinabalu, 15th December 2007
2007-12-16 15:53:00 When a concert advertisement says that it will start at a certain time, always add at least an hour to it. In the case of Dewa 19’s Kota Kinabalu stop, the poster said 7pm, but support act Jinbara made their appearance at 8.37pm. That’s a full 90 minutes overdue! I heard some fans had been ...

Dewa 19 will arrive at Kota Kinabalu International Airport tomorrow (14th D
2007-12-13 13:33:00 Thank you little bird. So you know what to do. Perhaps it’s the only chance to get close to Ahmad Dhani, Once and the gang. For their first Malaysian tour, top Indonesian (Surabaya) rock band Dewa 19 (was known as simply “Dewa” between 2000 and 2004) chose of all places, Stadium Likas, Kota Kinabalu. Then it’s 3 different cities every day, then a 4-day break before the final concert at Stadium Negara. Supporting acts: Dewi Dewi (Indon all-girl group), Jinbara, Ella: perhaps in that order of appearance. That would mean Dewa 19 will only take to the stage after 9pm?! Leader, keyboardist and songwriter of the band: Ahmad Dhani Prasetyo, 35. Apparently a huge Queen fan:

Recommended to go on weekdays - costs only RM5 per person, as opposed to RM15 per person on weekends. Those below 3 feet tall are entitled to free admission. Err… I thought ...

Gathering of bloggers in Kota Kinabalu, 6th July 2007
2007-07-08 00:00:00 A big thanks to Jacq and Daniel for taking the trouble to organise what could very well be the biggest ever gathering of (mostly) Sabahan bloggers in Kota Kinabalu.

I'm off to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah!
2007-07-04 19:26:00 Yup!!! Off I go again! All this flying around in aeroplanes is kinda making me feel all tired! I'm not complaining or anything. I know there's a lot of people out there that hasn't been on an aeroplane at all but.. sigh.. just thinking about packing, going to the airport, waiting to board the plane, siting down in the small tineey winney seat, feeling the air pressure blowing your ears out, and waiting for the plane to land..Well.. kinda turns me off flying!!! >.I'm sorry if I sounded like an unappreciative b*tch but.. boohoo..If you're wondering though.. I'm going there because my cousin is getting married soon! Yup! And it's gonna be a huge elaborate affair. With church wedding and all. Haven't been to a church wedding though. Should be super romantic! Can't wait.And all my favourite KK food!!! Ooooh.. My last time though. =(On another note, today is the 5th of July. That just gives me another 24 days in Malaysia.

Kota Kinabalu, Sabah - 13th May - 16th May - PT II
2007-04-23 06:53:00 Lets continue on the KK trip. My Hutan Melintang trip a month back, I was under-gunned. So when I was doing a pre-packed a week before the trip, I told myself 'I'm so gonna OVER-PACK!!'. So it turned out, I was so OVER-gunned. I brought 4 rods (V Fox PE 6-8, Xzoga PE 5-6, G Craft Short Rodder PE 6, JigZam PE 5) and 5 reels (Accurate Boss Magnum 665-80lbs, Daiwa Dogfight-80lbs, Daiwa Saltist 40-50lbs, Avet SX-40lbs, Shimano Navi 8000-40lbs). Once we were on board, I set up my Accurate with my Xzoga, DogFight with V Fox, Avet with Short Rodder, and left the Jigzam and Navi in the bag. And I think after half a day of jiggin, the Accurate, DogFight, Avet, Xzoga, V Fox, all went back into the bag. Jigzam and Navi became the main arsenal throughout for jigging 100-200grams of jigs. And the G Craft Short Rodder was paired with the Saltist for bottom fishing.As usual, there's always a 'Gaya Centre' on boat. This was the catch on our first spot. The moment i saw the boatman reeling up...

2007-04-20 05:12:00 Its been so long since my last posting. Its been even longer since I last have a GOOD fishing trip... So miss Crystal Coral... Anyway, just placed a verbal booking for Sea Maiden I for next year April to Spratly. So at least something to look forward to for the rest of the year :-pThis KK trip was a 'blind' trip. We didn't really know what we are getting ourselves into. We thought it was a private boat but of course we were wrong. We thought it was a pure jigging trip, but of course, we were wrong again. We thought we will have a date with Amberjack, well we didn't. So needless to say, it was yet another disappointing trip.Air Asia again... This is where we spent our first nite. The rest was on the boat.BIG FISH!!!! :-(The boat is very spacious. And it's even more spacious when there's only 7 of us jigging around. And it became even more spacious when most didn't do much jigging as most of their confidence were crushed when the boatmen and deckhands repeatedly said 'We do bo...
