Free Malaysia Today has recently lambasted Sabah chief minister for not saying anything to his KL’s boss on the issue Malaysia Airlines cancelled direct flights to Tokyo and Australia. Despite of the commercial consideration given by the entrepreneur of the company on why they had to stop it as it gained less profit, the political head should also consider that Tourism industry is one of the main economy pillar in Sabah. Sabahans especially villagers depend on the tourists arrival for their eco-tourism, homestay, hospitality industry, crafts and etc. Yet, the leader said nothing about it. Is it more important to make his boss please with what he did?and not to win the people’s heart since general election is coming soon? Luckily, the patriotic and true Sabahan, Tourism minister is not there to solely please his bosses. According to thestar report, Datuk Masidi against the flights suspension and opting the Sabah Tourism Board to look out for other airlines. For a minister

In this modern time, women are more educated, in position to make decision and independent.  However, the nature does not allow certain things to happen smoothly as desired by women. 1. Women tend to associated with gender-related-diseases like breast, ovarian and ovarian cancers if they get pregnant after the age of 30. (Its kinda funny when some argue that 'oh, 35 is still a good age to bear a child). Carrying a bulging tummy while a woman is on peak of her career, dealing with challenging works and at the same time enduring morning sickness, and also the gross oral glucose tolerance test for maternity? Despite of the so-called modern society, people still expect women to take care of the infants and worsen by the cases of ill-treatment by caretaker and kindergarten teachers, it adds worry to mothers that no one is going to take care of the children. Of course, we wished the husbands can resign and change babies' diapers, at least five times a day. Recent report from '

Just go to Puchong->Bandar Puteri at 7, 5/3 Jalan Puteri  Its always better to call Mr.Ho at 0122365520 for reservation as he usually has lots of customers.  To cut thing short, this is the price I get for spare part 1.

Petaling Street named after a type of tapioca flour factory is now famed for its variety fake good along the streets. Also known as 'China Town', I stumbled upon a non-halal chinese food court in the middle of the road. It is the 'China Town Food Paradise'.   Run by few chinese stall hawkers, they have several choices of food like economy rice (where one can pick choice of side dishes accordingly at reasonable price), noodles, claypot items, vegeterian and etc.    I like the ambiance of the shop for its workers who are totally Chinese, no illegal immigrants. In addition, they have this rattan-made of chairs which kind of unique.  I've ordered a plate of roasted-duck noodle, i like the saltiness of duck and I finished every single lean meat it had. But, the portion is quite small for RM6.    In addition to that, a glass of barley costed me about RM1.60.  Well, I cannot complain much as they can't raised more as it will piss their regular patrons. I do understa

Recently bought beauty skincare from Etude House (a brand from Korea) for my own Xmas gift.  I need to pamper myself for all my at least ten nights assignment which aged me more years than I should have not being one. Here is the set I bought from Sunway Pyramid, the Etude House is noticeable for its pinkish interior design. Pardon for the unrotatable image..:( A packet of 5 hydrating masks for RM12.90, nail polish RM5.90 each, and the feet mask is about RM8.90. I also bought the peachy color blusher for about RM20++. I just love this as I never tried one before My first ever trial to sleep over with nourishing mask wrapping my feet Eventually there will be two-layered, which the first one is damp wrapper contain moisturiser while the outer layer would be the waterproof wrapper. With so, one can continue the beauty sleep. However, I find that it was quite uncomfortable for the damp feeling, and I kept on awake because of it. As for the result, I find my feet were bab

Had a conversation with few malay colleagues from peninsular Malaysia this morning. It was ear-opening to know that they still want Barisan Nasional to rule the country despite of the daytime corruption and etc. The main reason is they are scared to be sidelined by the current opposition DAP, althought PKR is the whole body of party. DAP synonymous to Chinese, and they had witnessed in  racism done by them and also the hard-core racist UMNO. Chinese helps chinese ONLY and same with Malay... Because of that phenomena, it hinders the movement of better political party to rule the country. It is a fact that Malay population is also outnumber other races in peninsular Malaysia, which lower the chances of the DAP, or precisely Lim Guan Eng to be country's first ever chinese leader.  Racism is one. Through the conversation, I also notice that malay species still have the 'dependant' syndrome. They hardly be competitive with that mentality and atttude. Chinese, Indian

Always heard bad comment and the lameness of the movie. But since I won the tickets, and I thought why not giving it a try to watch it. Prior to watching this movie, the songs of Bruno Mars- It will rain and Christina Perri's Thousand Years kept on convincing me that both powerful voice singers were chosen to sing the OST because it worth the movie. Yeah, I had the idea that it was going to be touching and romantic.... BUT, I found that both actors were so lame...to the extent that I am thinking that the movie was made for the sake of making it and not to impress audience. Their acting skills is suck..so slow, so unrealistic...it is as suck as 'Vampire Suck'... For goodness sake, why did Bella has terrible eyebag and the makeup artist didnt help her to conceal it??? At the end of the story, as Bella was struggling to continue the pregnancy, she totally reminds me of the movie, Emily Ross The exorcism.....with the bone breaking and losing weight.  *****Good par

It is a fallacy that driving manual car can bring you to hell. Me, being born with skilled hand-foot coordination am doing fine driving at the roads which always strucked with traffic jams. It is not true that you will have a developed calf after driving awhile as well, since there's a gear position called as 'Neutral' which you may rest, without having to pedal or release the clutch. Getting lost in you direction? Yes, it happens to everyone. Even with the help by GPS that I bought. Bear in mind, be it a Garmin or Papago software, its going to help a bit by telling where you are and also piss you for giving a non-sense instruction. e.g Supposedly you may go ahead, but the machine will instruct you drive to the left and U turn and U turn.....In short, the GPS can never be smarter than human's brain. Way-way RM299, Papago software- Easily heated when in used. The alternatives will be google map, jot down the identified route-road name, landmark, buildings and e

After party, the cleaner has to sweep off the mess never know that my camera could capture something like this rotate it to the right...

Since I have to repeat again- Peninsular people do look down on the kind of person, like me. Recently I was made fun for the not so appropriate pronunciation of  a word. I've checked with dictionary, I was right. But he was laughing at me... It continued with other colleagues, whereby they sort of thinking I never been to Genting Highlands, and started to fool me by telling nonsense that I had to bring passport; or I dont look like a local that's why I have to bring it; bla bla bla.... I am not denying that  I am hurt by the fact that the so called 'city people' was insulting and humiliating me. But, those words really inspire me to be a lot better than them. If not better, hardworking will be cool.

Had dinner with a lone ranger Sabahan in KL just now, we had a quite insightful conversation of the people in Kuala Lumpur. The common one is- a)They perceive those without the slanted eyes or dark complexion as Malays, where we are not at all!!! We are Sabahans- Kadazan, Murut, Rungus and etc. (of course not Iban...ok?) b) Kota Kinabalu is in Sabah, and Kuching, Sibu are in Sarawak. c) Ignorant peninsular people looks down on Sabahans because they think that we are living on the trees. The unsual one: a) Peninsular people will not hesitate to backstab anyone b) Sabahan and Sarawak are more kind-hearted, prevent from hurting others. (But, have to shield ourselves when come to KL) c) Overall, Sabahans are more hardworking than local

Directed and wrote by Andrew Niccol, this hi-sci fiction is about time as the currency for people in future. As soon as they celebrate their 25th birthday, they would have to keep on working to stay alive. In short, poor people have to work strenuously to keep on living. Thus, eating, leisuring and  resting are big no-no to the people. Salas (Justin Timberlake) hit the jackpot as he saved a man with endless time suffice for him to travel to the rich-people vicinity.   Niccol has set a contrast where the rich people dubbed the 'slow' society could live centuries. It is where Sylvia Weis (Amanda Seyfried) becomes attracted to fast-moving Will , she wanted to be more than who she was- the highly protected daughter of an immortal (a tool fee of a year= 525600 minutes). Feeling empathy toward the underprivilleged people, she started to rob her own father's  banks and give out the money to them.  Despite of not many actions, but I learned a lot on the rational that endl

I cannot deny that there are still smart people who have knowledge on Sabahans. I am gladly said this to them, "Congrats, there are still your kind species that know Malaysia also includes Sabah and Sarawak,".  Yup, I have been very sensitive over this issue and of course am going to be insensitive toward those who have been ignorant but acting know-it-all. Don't peninsular people knows that their penis and vagina will grow on their forehead by offending Sabahans and Sarawakians?  To those Sabahans who change their accent to peninsular malays'? Why should you? See, language is part of our identity. It is obvious that peninsular people is depending on the natural resources and people from east to continue surviving? Why we need to copy their way of living?Why be ashamed of your own language then?  For peninsular people who are "katak di bawah tempurung,", below are the guidelines to recognise US...don't simply call all of them as Malays just because

It has been two months since I had a walk at KK area, especially at the lagendary shopping mall- Cente Point. Everytime I go down KK, I will certainly have Sabah signature drink- YoYo Cafe (left), the original one was and is the milky tea with it black pearls. I think Sabahans still like it for it used to be so popular. It reminds me of the sweet teenage time, where its a luxurious drink when my ex-boyfriend bought me that.   Guess what? Since its inception, there was none non-chinese staff working with them. But now, they have it!!! So, its no longer a racist-drink. Speaking of workers, Centre point the haven of pirated movies and DVD is now influxed by non-chinese as well. I am not sure on their race-malay, bugis, or bajau??  But I know that their Mathematic and Spelling are terrible..there are a bunch of them. I also walked around at the Philipines Market center to buy Amplang (Keropok ikan),pearl earrings, and a Shell. The seller thought that I was a peninsular people (

I was never following the preceeded movie of Johnny English, but it was a great relieve to watch this comedy after my previous cinema visit on Namewee's Nasi Lemak 2.0 The movie directed by Oliver Parker , and starred by Rowan Atkinson produced an inevitable laughter among the audience that day. I actually learned something important from this movie which is as we are aging, we will no longer can depend on agility and strength, solution has to come from the years of experience and intelligence. He proved that. Hundred per cent that I am sure the movie must have cost billions for the scene like English drove the helicopter on the road. altitude of 18 inches and got on top of the ambulance. I had a great laugh at the two-hour screening. Good job Personal rating: 4.4/5

Yup congratulate me for able to find few candidates who want to be my special boyfriend. It also comes out with the suggestion, promotion and bargain phases. "Aren't you lonely or boring to be in KL alone?" "Yes, I do" "Why don't you find a boyfriend here" "I already have boyfriend/fiance back in my hometown.". "But you two are far away, right? Some more you two are not yet married,why not finding one,". "Its ok, I am good,". "Well, with a spare boyfriend here, you will be happier..." ******************************************************* "if you become my girlfriend, i will give you whatever you want that i could afford" "If im off, i can send and fetch you from your office,". "i can even spare my free time to get your favorite food and watch movie with you,". ****************************************************** Me:'fuck off"

Maddi Jane, 13, an American Youtube singer who recorded herself singing the new hits songs together with other musicians. Currently, she has about ten uploaded videos- including price tag, jar of hearts, secret, just the way you are, breakeven, impossible and few others. Recently, she had been nominated for an MTV O MUSIC AWARDS for her '''price tag'''. Unfortunately, she got last place.   Since March this year, this video was viewed 35,000,000 times, and 200,000 like it. . Its a great achievement for a kid like her Click the 'Play' button and you will find her amazing and strong voice. (accompanied by high quality of video recording and great musicians) However, if you listen carefully, you will notice her imperfection of vocal, she sounded like a toddler mumbling about something, the words pronunciation were blur. Even professional singer like Paramore underwent vocal training, a future star like her should have invest on that trai

Last week, friends from Sabah came down for some sort of business here. Met up with them, and they've asked a lot of questions about my life and work here. " Aren't you facing any difficulty on your work? Since people here in KL usually look down on Sabahan, they said we are second class human-being,".  Having a gang in KL was such a blissful trip. We were not hesitate to speak in Sabahan slang language. It attracted the eyes of KLites. But we were like, "Who care? We are Sabahans". In fact, (again and again), its pretty annoying that they will simply call us as "malay, non-malaysian, philipino, Indonesian". Its like fuck it fuck it you bitches from peninsular people. If its not Sabah natural resources, you all cant have enough money to subsidise your petrol, and everything. And fuck it with the tuut for invading my country and pour the money to island of racism instead of ours. Wonder why we still need you?

I was expecting something as good as his video clip uploaded on Youtube. Apparently, his piece will be good when only he shows his anger over something. Kudos on his first-movie done under RM1million and its good the local artists were giving him full support here. I am sure he can come out with better production in future  ************************************** Personal view- The plot was not concentrate on certain issues, that it went to east, west, central, south and North.Its messy Retrospective method was used so much that it disturbed the flow of the story. I don't think the thick-brow plot, massaging the husband dick's, dick chopping or Reshmonu appearance were necessary. Sitting in a cinema and took out my 'Political' hat, I would never know the significance of three judges who had no stance during the competition between hero and the antagonist. In the end of the show, I blamed myself for believing the movie is totally unrelated to politic that I came

People said all Politicians were dirty and corrupted, yet for me, this minister overwork to ensure his state is not exploited and bring good to the people of Sabah. Kudos. (Extracted from Malaysian Corridor Volume 10/11) His aspiration and defining moment: To make Sabah a vibrant, economically successful and the most livable place in Asia. Most defining moment ws building rapport with Australia, Malaysia Airlines has chose Sabah as the Eastern hub He manages his ministry (time and attention) by delegating the culture and all developments at islands/water to Datuk Bolkiah; environment and all development on land to Datuk Ellron Sabah Tourism Board, MATTA, Malaysia Hotel Association Sabah, airlines, Sabah Tourism Tour Guides Association, Dive, islands, Golf, birds- have helped bring in tourists to the state. Despite of suggesting nuclear energy once, he always opted for renewable energy- biomass, biomass, geothermal, solar, wind and hydropower t

Sabah makes the cover story of Volume 10/11 Malaysian Corridor:Sabah prepares new attractions for tourists. State Minister of Tourism, Culture and Environment   Datuk Masidi Manjun who was hailed from Ranau mentioned this in an interview with Editor of Malaysian Corridor, Zainal Epi. 1.        He has to juggle between conserving the greens and accommodating the needs of tourists with its infra. 2.        Now, he has added bird watching which pulled in some USD2 billion in United Kingdom 3.        At present, most Chinese tourists are from South China , Hong Kong and Taiwan 4.        The Arabs…prefer Kuala Lumpur and do not like forest but Sabah offers them rain, which they would love to get soaked with. 5.        “Japanese loves to follow Americans, whenever   Americans go, Japanese would be there too,”

Borneons who come to Kuala Lumpur for the first time will have to endure the ridiculous pressure from the local people. Sometime, they tend to give a confuse look on us for not able to tell what kind of race we are. Well, judging their intelligent and open-mindedness, they will either presumed the natives from east peninsular are either Malay, Chinese or Indian. The stereotyping game is sometimes applied as well to the peninsular people who happened to have interracial marriage parents- there's a case where a boy was forced to put his race as Malay in identity card for the sake that he has an Arabic name, followed by his father from Arab who married his chinese mom but the whole family is not muslim. Abiding the rule in Malaysia, he had to do so. Pardon those people for their ignorance (even after the Borneo joined Malaya for 48 years). People here are also materialistic, they are slaving for those who appeared to have loads of money. I know that I should blame myself for not c

*To date, the rate will be counted RM3.00 (once you sit in the cab), followed by RM0.10 for the next 100m. Also, *Bear in mind to insist receipt from the driver as sometime they will overcharge you as they wish. *By insisting the receipt, he/she will need to use taxi meter, which is good. *Sometime, taxi driver will take two or more passengers of different destinations,and the latter passenger will get charged more as the meter showed the rate of two-journeys.

Coming to this strange island- I mean Kuala Lumpur, the capital  of Malaysia inbaitat of about 1.4 million people include locals as well as foreigners from different countries- Despite I was born in Malaysia (as Sabah is one of the country's state), I was treated differently by the people here. My point is, they thought that I might be Malay, Chinese, Vietnamese or Philipinos. I am so sick of explaining that I am a Sabahan!!! I know that I could not blame their ignorance for not able to detect their own people. Everytime I get board on a LRT or bus, the Arabians or Nigers would have very glad to talk to each other eventhough they hardly just know each other. Hey, that scenario only happen to me when I met other Sabahans. Yeah, I guess its the South China Sea that create the gap between east and west Malaysians. or maybe the people itself. It is going to be Malaysia Day on September 16, but is the spirit is there?Or is it only matter to the Borneons?

It is a true story that life could turn pretty ugly when our partner shows their real behavior, especially the not-so- nice-one.  The heartbreak kid story was about Ben Stiller stars as Eddie, the 40-year-old confirmed bachelor who finally says "I do" to the beautiful and sexy Lila (Malin Akerman). But during their honeymoon in Mexico, the woman of his dreams turn out to be a total nightmare- Lila loves to sing all the time, she farted loudly, was vain and ridiculous and other weirdos- it freaking Eddie's out that he increased the chance to fall in love with another sweet girl named 'Miranda' which drove him into a divorce to Lila. Eddie became a hard-core refugee to come back to Mississippi from Mexicoas his ex-wife burned his wallet and passport. I was touched to see his determination to get Miranda back but unfortunately, his love life was recently married to her cousin, Cla. After two years, Eddie moved to Mexioc and was married to Mexican girl. There he m

It is undeniable there is a temptation for someone who earn less in a fast-paced city to join the multi-level- marketing, (MLM) to cope with the financial burden, or I should say, a desire? Until now, I saw a lot of people here in Kuala Lumpur is doing more than a job to support their life, which the common one for guys will be taxi-driving, direct sales, online buisness, and also MLM. The vice things about MLM had been published in the media, that it was a cheating system, which often people were attracted to the lucrative promised income in a short time. I had the experience where I was brought into an MLM company which claimed that it has been established for 11 years with verified certificate and licence and blah blah blah... Of course, beside of the stability that the company has, the members sort of trying to tell how much the system changed their life, they told their sad tale and showed their monthly pay slip to even convince the vulnerable customers. Despi

Obviously, a nurse woman would not be perceived as more than a slut when she did not perform her job well for the sake of making herself look pretty. A medical doctor agreed with me that some nurses were negligible on their works. He said," I think those kind of staff nurses are the most stupid species in world, they thought they could get big fish by doing that, but eventually those specialists were just fooling them only,". Health professions should never  jeopardize patients' life for the sake of vice thought in hospital. P/s: but of course I met a nurse who swear not to have doctor as her husband for their bullying habit.

just to make the blogpost attractive The association of the most prevalent of Thalassemia cases in the state was said due to intermarriage within close relatives who carried the mutant gene but it was denied by an expert  that the act was considered as an incest to the community. An expert from University Malaysia Sabah said that the possibility of the prevalence was due to endogamous, whereby it was practiced within natives since 70 years ago. Austronesian ancestors of our indigenous peoples in Sabah came here from 6000 to 20,000 years ago according to lingustics, archaeology and DNA studies.Mediterranean region which include Austronesian is the originating place of thalassemia disease affected by the disease since ancient. Until recently, Sabah is still accounting the highest number of Thalassemia cases of 1,300 in the country. A thalassemic patient has to depend on life-long blood transfusion unless they are fortunate to undergo bone marrow transplant. The

There;s always agenda behind government's project, but at least the project might help the Sabahans to improve themselves or even help them get a job- by learning the courses that are offered by the government. The renowned private college, AMC providing free training to any 18 and above adults to learn various vital courses include Languages- Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean ICT- all sorts of, you just have to have a look on the list. Oh yeah, it has also facebook and twitter course, which I had registered for my ICT illiterate mother. I wish there will be Skype too so that I could chat with family.  Accounting courses FYI, the courses are free, students will be provided with books and coupon for lunch and dinner. (T& C applied). This government project covered statewide, inclusive some of the interior areas,  again, have to check on the website. AMC School of business

Recently, I announced my plan to get married within a year. And, the response that I get from my dad was he wanted me to follow the fast rule of his village tradition strictly- which I am not so keen of. In this modern day, he still insist the guy side to bear all the costs of marriage which is nonsense to me. He felt very insulted that at my side, I will bear all the cost, he said it was kind of "buying yourself". The elder generation should not restrict the youngsters in their decision without better reason rather than the lame excuse of tradition. Some more, I was not brought up at the village that he was born to. I could not see any rational that the villagers have to bear witness on my partner handling over the money. Most unacceptable was my parent intended to arrange on my wedding plan- guests list, meal set, and etc. Based on previous cousin's wedding reception, it was totally a pain on the ass as some other uncles were criticizing the event management, af

Ironically, the thin woman or man tend to watch out for their body composition rather than those who have problem with weight. I fall under the category where others might think that I am a  psychotic girl with anorexic thought.  No! No! No!, thin girl needs exercise to burn unnecessary fat, boost up the immune system, associate with preventing cancer and increase appetite.   I know about it, but my priority is to build on my mental strength. I seldom had any storm in my life, until now. Emotionally I am quite vulnerable.  Therefore, when I go for endurance workout like 5km run or an hour work out, I will try to sustain the hardship and bear until the end of it. One does not have to get into it to know how difficult it is to breath, the brain cannot think properly and how heavy the whole body will became when one do it without any pause.  I believe by torturing myself that way, I will be able to endure others which so far was not as unbearable as jogging.  The key is, ex

   Cowboys and Aliens, the ironic of the two items enticed the curiosity of movie-lovers. However, its more to marketing tactic than having quality of the product.    Watching it as a layman gave me a lot of turn off, as I have expected something extraordinary from the movie- a good storyline, unexpected outcome and etc-.    But it turned out to be a lot of cowboy era town, with too many of characters introduction at a time which lead me to nowhere but with question," Err, how significant are these people in the story?". In addition, the casting method in narrating flashback was here and there, unless I watched it on my own DVD player and replay , I did not get enough time to digest some of the dialogue by watching it in cinema...It was like, I came from other place, and trying to adapt this body bla bla bla bla....I was like, Uhh?consider myself as retarded as not be able to comprehend the message...   SERIOUSLY, the appearance of alien had no meaning? I just knew that th

RM29.90 (I bought it for RM23.00) I have came across her books many times at many bookshops. I knew it was going to be fun-reading material Out of the blue, I finally bought it. (That time, I just received my offer letter stating that I am entitled for RM120 book allowance monthly) The writing concept is more to blogging style with no formality and restricted to the writer's own style. Her true experience as a cabin crew is an advantage in composing them. As a frequent traveler, I used to think that they were so annoying, walking past of me all the time, they gave me feeling that they were like flies. Through her kaleidoscope, I know their importance in attending troublesome passengers- especially children. (despite of categorizing them as needed-to-be-protect minor, they could be very devilish if given too much of protection). And I was like, " Wow, the stewardesses are prone for sexual harassment and  people really dare to have sex in the aircraft too" S

It was a blessed day that I was able to wake up late on my off day. As usual, I will switch on TV and watch channel 711. It was already 11am and the star world channel was showcasing "accidentally on purpose" The main actress, Billy was pregnant our of wedlock with Jack as per seen at the image above.  In this time series, her sister- Abby who has married for 5 years wanted to conceive with her commitment phobia husband, Alex. Alex has rejected the request again and again for lame excuses. Thus, Abby was pissed and hung out with Jack's bestfriend, Davis at a bar. They proceeded to Davis's house and Abby asked him whether he would willing to impregnated her.  I was thinking about ethical issue on that. A female ready to have a baby, with stability of financial and life, but dejected by husband's refusal in having kids. It is like what the heck with these bunches of men? "why am I marrying a guy with no intention to expand the family, eventhough I am alr
