## 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.

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?

Trooping the Colour, Borneo Style

First thing first, let’s meet our world-famous horseman of Kota Belud. I have seen pictures of this old gentleman countless times, each time he still conjures up the image of the “wow!” factor. There it is, I am still insisting on putting up a picture of this gentleman with a photogenic “wow!” factor. He could have been our superstar!

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.
