Jesselton Point Panorama

Once Upon A Time Down In Borneo

Jesselton Point Panorama

The antiquated Sabah port as it was in the golden era when Kota Kinabalu was still known as Jesselton and life was at a leisurely pace. It is now a jetty, highly commercialised, where almost everything is chargeable. It would not have been so bad if the maintenance culture does go side by side with the price trend.

Hi, we have now migrated to another blog. You are most welcome to visit our new site.

Site address:  http://odysseyimages.wordpress.com

Remarks:

The current blog, ‘Odysseyist’s Vista’, will gradually be revamped and every post will undergo a review and re–write.  Irrelevant articles will either be spiked or merged with other more appropriate posts. We hope to, eventually, make this blog easier to browse around and search for relevant articles. Related keyword-links to other posts/sites will also be inserted for each article / keywords.

Our new blog, Images of Odyssey, will mainly be centred around photo images with not much of a write up. We will, however, put up links to other sites for those who require more information when deemed possible or appropriate.

Do drop in for a chat or whatever tickles your fancy.

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.

Church of St. Peter Claver, Ranau

Winter Wonderland In the Tropic

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?

Catholic Church of St. Peter Claver Ranau

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.

Tamu Besar- Kota Belud

A Posse of Horsemen On the Plain

Should you be feeling the mood for mid-Night Mass while you are in Kota Kinabalu over the Christmas season, here is one place you could visit.

Tuaran Festival

Unity in Diversity- aka Utopian Society

Another fest springs up from nowhere. Let’s face it, the Land Below the Wind will soon become known as the Land of Festivals & Carnivals & Funs & …… The more the better, I would say- then we can all spend our time having fun. Society of leisure is here sooner than you think .

Dates to look out for: 11-13 Dec., 2009 

River Kiulu- 4M Rafting Challenge

4 Macho Men & A Raft

Imagine an Amusing Game with a traditional macho twist! Yap, that’s coming up in December. Hurry up and book yourself a place for the penultimate challenge of the year.

Mammals of Borneo- Borneo Pygmy Elephant

Dumbos in Borneo

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.
