Friday, November 14th 2008 marks a historical and monumental day in which the first major collaboration between conservationists, several corporate companies and the government took place. The BSBCC (Borneo Sun Bears Conservation Center) Fundraiser Event was held at the Shangri-La Tanjung Aru Resort & Spa at 6.30 pm and it was attended by the Chief Minister of Sabah, Yang Amat Berhormat Datuk Seri Panglima Musa Haji Aman, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Environment, Datuk Masidi Manjun and Kota Kinabalu Mayor Datuk Iliyas Ibrahim.
The hosts for the evening was television personality Daphne Iking, and actor/playwright/comedian Jit Murad. Also hosting was talented actresses Ida Nerina, Joanna Bessey, and Lina Teoh (Miss Malaysia World 1998 Winner, Miss World 1998 2nd Runner Up). The show would not be complete without the talented and multifarious assortment of musicians that came on stage on that night. They started the evening with a performance by Amir Yussof, Rafique Rashid and Badar. They sang a song titled “Calling On You” which was specially written by Amir, a song beautifully composed for the Sun Bears. Rafique and Badar was also joined later by Albert Sirimal to perform.
RED just went official with DSMC (Digital Stills and Motion Camera) System. The system starts with your choice of the professional Scarlet or “master professional” EPIC brains which can then be configured into about 2,251,799,813,685,248 possible camera configurations.
DSLR users out there, listen to this: “sensor modules can support either PL, RED, Canon or Nikon mounts which can be interchanged as required to suit a specific lens or application.”
An array of Malaysia’s best-known musicians, television and film icons will come together for one night to raise funds for the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre, to be established at Sepilok, Sandakan. Aptly named ‘Bear Necessities’, this fundraising event will be held at Shangri-La’s Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa on Friday 14th November 2008 at 6.30pm.
A huge gathering of traders, buyers and visitors went down to the Tamu Besar Kota Belud on the fourth weekend of October. The annual event started on Saturday on the 25th of October and lasted for two days, during which many activities both traditional and modern took place. In the old days, a tamu (which means Gathering in the local tongue) was a place where traders from different tribes could barter for goods with one another in an open-air market. This practice still goes on today, and has become an attraction for tourists. These open-air markets can be found in many other places of Sabah, but the biggest of them all can be found only in one place - the Tamu Besar Kota Belud. Read More>>>

Yesterday (12 October, 2008), while taking photos of the Borneo International Marathon 2008, I saw a someone who looks kinda familiar. Thinking to myself, who is that?, she looks like that girl from flickr… oh it can’t be, she’s in KL. Then it hit me, (talking to self) “Dude, you’re at the Marathon! She’s joining the Borneo International Marathon, didn’t you read that on her blog? (replying to self) “Oh, ya kan”. So I talked to her and she’s really nice and friendly. I have been a fan of her works in flickr for a long time.
