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.

Festival of Sacrifice
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.

Sea of Angels
Pulau Mamutik is the smallest island among the five  islands cluster grouped under Tunku Abdul Rahman Islands (Marine) Park. And it’s also the least crowded island in the group. But during public holidays and weekends you can forget about having the beach all to yourself.

Game For A Laugh
Rugby, a game played by macho men with farcical comedy abound. Once a comedian, always a ruggger. What further proof  do we need just by looking at the picture below with the hopper hopping along merrilywith his band of merrymen? Need I say more?

Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On
Oui!  Aquarelle.
Let’s talk about camera, the D-SLR type. Now and then, it does give rise to an illusory image in a shot-visual. When it does, it drives me into a psychotic tailspin.
Wait a minute! I’ve got to get a hold of myself. Ahhh….. such is life’s big mystery.

Trooping the Colour, Borneo Style
Kota Belud, “waaaah!”, the land of horses & buffalos (it could easily be the land of milk & honey). So, here it begins the story of the “Five Horsemen On the Prairie“. First thing first, let’s meet our world-famous horseman of Kota Belud. I have seen pictures of this old gentleman countless [...]

The Warrior Princesses
Move over, you men!
A sport with a difference. It was an action-packed rugby competition full of rough-and-tumble actions interweaved with high tensions and excitements to keep you spellbound to the end of time. This is my kind of action-filled sport with a tinge of sensual tenderness only the she-must-be-obeyed knows how to put on.

Minimalist Semporna

Going Japanese
Semporna on the cheap. Then you get a bland, plain and simple scenery. It does pay to be rich, you know.
