Getting Rid of Toxicated Blood

Tuesday, 30 June 2009

They said this procedure originated in China and it helps to get rid of toxicated blood from the body. In this case, the 'patient' was complaining that her leg ache.






Prince Philip Park (Tanjung Aru Beach) and the South China Sea

Tuesday, 30 June 2009

I love the sight of a beach! I am happy we came here even though the weather was not supportive of our visit this morning. It was sunny when we were in the car. It looked like it was going to rain when we were out only a few minutes walking in the park. And it was very very windy as well.






Chinese Restaurant - Hyatt Regency Kinabalu

Sunday, 28 June 2009

Interesting that this restaurant showed their patrons how their Peking Duck dish is being presented. It is interesting to watch how the chef cut the crispy skin from the duck. The waitress helped wrap them in the freshly prepared pancakes.

Interesting Sights Here and There

Thursday 25 June to Tuesday 30 June, 2009

Fresh Tilapia, reared at a private home. These pool of fish have been taken from their big tank, waiting to be scooped up and given to friends, who have been called to come and collect.


A native musical instrument - Sompoton (please correct me if it is wrong) - in Donggongon.


Took these pictures as we drove past the 2 round-abouts, leading to the Donggongon town. The pineapple is small and the Sigah (traditional native men headgear) is sooooooo big.




Interesting set of horses scruptures in 1Borneo - the largest shopping mall in Sabah, opened in June 2008. It was big and I wondered if business is good because it seemed too quiet. You don't see many people outside or inside the shops. It was a Friday (26 June) when we were visiting.

Karoake - Old Folks' Club

Thursday, 25 June 2009

It was a Thursday morning karaoke session at Persatuan Koat (Kelab Orang Tua - direct transation is Old Folks' Club) in Luyang. I understood that the minimum age to join the club is 50 years and the fee is MR300 for life membership. Member pay MRinggit 2 to join the karaoke session while non-member pay MRinggit 5. You can sing as many songs as the time and no. of participants allow.

2 of the Mandarin songs that Ivy sang was "Wrong Love" and "Why did you desert me?"

Definitely, Ivy's love is not wrong nor was she deserted. Ivy is happily married for 35 years to the same man!

It was a pleasant surprise to see Lim Hong there.
