Pop Eye The Sailor Man
Belated event update.
The 10th KK CITY DAY REGATTA 2009 was held over two days on Feb 21 & 22 at Tanjung Aru Beach. It must have been a forgettable event as I have forgotten all about it- till now. Never mind, better late than never.
The event is actually held every year around the month of February to celebrate the City Day on February 2, when Kota Kinabalu officially became a city in the year 2000.
The reason for its being unmemorable, I suppose, was there were no fun activities on the shore and the yachts were at a distance away, as you can see from the blurry pictures even after using a 200mm zoom lens. No public participation was provided for. Oh yeah, just you go and have fun & enjoy yourselves. Don’t mind us. We will just stand here and watch, shall we? Much appreciated!

And now I remember! On the day I was there (I was actually on some other errands), it pelted down with rain. I had to run for my life. Saving my camera was actually more important than watching Popeye the Sailor Man or Popeyes the Sailor Men.
