Gaya Street in Sabah.

Gaya Street, or the Sunday morning market, lined up with hundreds of stalls along five blocks of the central city of Kota Kinabalu is a must-visit for visitors. For shutterbugs, this is also a good place to get good pictures. Pictures attached are the recommended buying at the market. Pearls. Seafood balls ( prawn, octopus, and crab crackers) originated from East Coast Sabah will definitely promise unforgetful craving after one try. Price ranges from RM5- RM30 depending on packaging sizes. Orchids and other plants. Sellers are usually friendly enough to share caring tips.  There are also pets on sale, but didnt take pictures as it is not allowed. I like the traditional crafting made from woods, or even shells. But haven't buy any yet as I am busy handing fast growing toddler.  It is definitely going to be a happy walk under the Sunday sun as the street will be aired with country or Chinese oldies songs. Even traditional gongs sound. Otherwise, get a free Tenom coffee aroma- Arabica

Those items are either ready cooked, to be boil in tom yam/chicken soup or stir fried as shown at the attached picture. I am not sure how long has it been opened, but surely long enough that tableware are either have some cracks, dimples or worn out signs. Thus, the appearance has upset me a bit as those symbolise unlucky for diners. As the restaurant is serving hundreds customers a day, I doubt that there will be strict quality control than just for the sake of having what they have to served to be on the serving table. For examples, will they wash off pesticide substance on each and every leaf of vegetables? Will they look out on the excessive fruits exposed to air? Do they use boiled water or just melted ice cubes

Office politics

Once you are involved in it, it will affect your mood to be in the workplace. While I have chosen to stay out of it when I started my work about four years ago..I still cannot avoid it as I usually meant to build friendship rather than accumulate hatred gossip against others. Over many lunch and afternoon tea break, she would blurted out how bad is another colleagues. It left me no choice but to pretendly follow the conversation which would make me feel guilty and sinful.  It is even worse when she told me that there were several times that her allies and her were being sarcastic over an individual, but dissappointed that the alleged did not get the hint.  Oh my, I start wondering if she's ever being sarcastic to me but I didn't catch it.  Am I a friend or foe to her?  Some of the things that make her angry or annoyed are also petty stuff like intern doing things they like without consulting the boss, others took her thing, and even when other senior told her its a decorum to s
