ME TOUCHING A SEA SNAKE!

I have finally plucked up enough courage to touch a sea snake myself and it is not so horrifying after all. This photo is taken on 11th Feb, 2008.......A day to remember, during my last tour group to Pulau Tiga, the Survivor Island.

CHINESE NEW YEAR 农历新年

Christmas and New Year had just left us not too long ago and now the Chinese in Malaysia are looking forward to Chinese New Year which falls on 07th February, 2008. Well, I felt all excited while doing the Heritage Walk on 29h Jan as the festive mood was all in the air in the streets and of course, very much so along Gaya Street. Gaya Street will be holding this yearly celebration again in a grand way, especially on 30th January on its opening ceremony of the grand Gaya Street Chinese New Year celebrations from 30th Jan till 04th Feb. The street is closed at night for stalls and stalls of festive goods available for sale.

Plus, 02nd Feb is Kota Kinabalu City Day and celebration programmes are all lined up, like the grand International Tradional dances beginning 02nd Feb with its procession at night with fireworks and so on and so on ........ How can we not be excited?

Chinese New Year is not here yet but I have heard the sound of fireworks and fire crackers every night. Wow............ Don't forget, Chinese New Year last for 15 days!

For the first time, I am without a tourist group this New Year and is free to enjoy myself but I really do not know what to do with my free time as most of my friends are tourist guides and they are working. I am used to working during this festive season for several years already.

Enjoy my photos and video clips of this Chinese New Year in Kota Kinabalu! Go to Photos of Sabah for more!

UPLOADING PHOTOS/BROWSING LELONG

Have finally uploaded photos on KK Heritage Walk, Ker Yew's group in Sabah and........ Taiwan group in Pulau Tiga. Took a long time to complete it. A couple of the photos shown here. Take a peep in the "PHOTOS OF SABAH AND TOURS" for more.

Have been bidding for a new Dopod 3G mobile in the Lelong and now trying the 3rd bid item. Ai................. Hope I can get it. My last group tour leader is using one and it just look so tempting................................... My next tour look quite far off as I have to do Eco Host training for some guides on 16th Jan and Skyzone Tours told me the likely tour group for me is from 13-17th Jan. It crashes with my training.............! I would have to say bye bye to the group. Ai....................

Bathing in Mud Volcano

EATING SAGO WORM

Getting a bit bored last couple of days lazing around. My last tour assignment ended on 29th September and the next tour will only be from 9th-13thOctober. Then I would have to go to Penang with a group of about 15 tourist guides for an educational visit for 4 days from 19th-22nd Oct.

The weather was terribly hot these few days. I would sweat even sitting down doing nothing. This weather is making me very lethargy and killing me..................

Managed to upload some photos on Pulau Tiga (Survivor Island), Wetlands of Sabah. Actually found out that I don't have that much of photos collection. Have to put some efforts.

Also, pondering how to design my blogs so that it is easy for readers to access to the posts on the tour destinations of Sabah. Sigh.........................again found out that I am really a loser as a blogger too. Any help out there??????????????????????????
