## Samurai Santa at the Hobbycon Carnival, City Mall, KK.
In Manga you can be anything you want- even a Samurai Santa is not beyond your creative imagination. Just you go ahead and fantasize yourself silly. By the way, there’s such a thing as Santa Claus, you know. I met him in the Fantasia Pole last year. Now you know what I did last Christmas.

If you are from a tropical country you may like to spend your Christmas in Kundasang or Ranau to have a feel of that X’mas spirit in the winter with that nippy and misty atmosphere. And maybe you could also have your mid-Night mass in the Church of St. Peter Claver, Ranau.
We do not promise any white Christmas though. But it’s as good as Christmas in the Winter Wonderland, nonetheless. What’s more, you have the celebrated Mt. Kinabalu as a backdrop- and waking up to the crisp Christmas morning with the majestic mountain staring down at you. What more can a man/woman ask for?
Mt. Kinabalu is on the right in the picture.
St. Peter Claver is a catholic church, in case you are quite particular in this instance.

Regarded as a sub-species of the Asian elephants, the Borneo elephants are distinguished by their smaller sizes, larger ears and longer tails with babyish faces. But, somehow, they all look the same to me. Pardon me for the ignorance.

Official public holiday in Sabah- end of Hajj.
Very Arabisque-looking, is it not? Very traditional and a vintage piece in the visual perspective sort of way. As far as I know, it’s quite a unique architectural edifice in the whole of Sabah.
Kota Belud is in Sabah.

Borneo vs Malaya - 22 Nov., 2009
Rappers from Borneo & Malaya were set for a ‘Gunfight at the OK Coral’. Be prepared for the rap. Yeah, pump it up and get on down till the moo cow comes to roost- where’s the chick?
Without any further ado, let’s have our very own Borneo Michael Jackson on the take taking the Mick out of Mick.
