Busy month Aug - Sept

Hey all you bloggers, yes it true that month of Aug - Sept I will be a bit busy with National Day marching practice with Sabah Tourism Board Staff, well this my first time after four years since I quit marching in high school (too many assignment and exam, had to concentrate for studies). Well some of the rules and regulation during marching I still remember and some I totally forgot!! Shame on me really..

last two days we had our practice held at Merdeka Field - and of course for the first timer in marching ....was not really synchronized. Our captain keep on yelling from afar....well. But I'm glad everybody worked their butt off and try to make everything synchronized as possible, great teamwork although some of them still make noises and sort. We still need a lot of practice before 31 August ( Malaysia National Day) as there would more than just us STB makes marching performance in which from Government to private sector will be also joining and perform marching as well.

And for September early newsflash for me...JATA, JAPAN WHOAHOOOO!!!! I feel really happy...isk isk

Okay, honestly I'm really excited for JATA event since this is will be my first time out of the country of Malaysia * YAYYYY...

I really dreamed of this since I was little girl...what was it like to be in a four season country? The culture, languages, food or traditional delicacies, Gosh I just can't wait...Well my country only have two season which is summer all year and of course monsoon. My Marketing Managers (Japan) told me last month whether I have passport and visa, of course I said no as I never been out from Sabah. Ha ~ the moment he start telling me that I'll go further from Sabah, next two days I went to the Immgration Department and apply my passport.

We'll be going on this coming September and for now just a few paperwork to be done and promotion material, banner, souvenirs and more. I keep reminding myself that we all go for bussiness trip but I STILL EXCITED and thinking this as chance for explore plus self-improvement in Japanese language and TA skills. GOSHHH...

So I'll be updating for more and post picture soon, keep on track everyone!

Congratulation my dear friend

Yes, you just might wondering what we're doing during the Site Inspection,...well there's 10 of us and mostly are the newcomer to Islands in Semporna.

All Pictures are Via my Friend, Mr Ronnie Rayner

We have reached the Main Gateway to Semporna.
Welcome to Semporna!!!

This is the place where we staying for two days of Regatta Lepa Event.
This place are called the Dragon Inn, (Well....since on day time it's too crowded with people, in my opinion you won't feel safe until you reach the entrance to Dragon Inn...hahaha)

Inside Dragon Inn

This Fish is a real fish (I forgot what was it called....)hang as deco for attraction inside Dragon Inn.

Internet here are quite expensive though

After we check-in to our room, then off we for sightseeing to downtown area of Semporna

Visits to WWF Booth, they sold traditional souvenirs for the locals and tourist, nice traditional bracelet actually.

One with red cap is my interesting friend Alisia A. We're standing just next to the sculpture of Regatta Lepa.

Next we went to the Market...as you can see, theres a lot things you can buy, foods and drinks...and off course LOTS, A LOTS OF LOCAL HANDICRAFT AND SOUVENIRS!!

Everybody was very hungry so we went to Mabul Cafe which are located upstairs of a blue building where below it was a fish storage Market

Late afternoon, we went to Proboscis Monkey River Cruising and as soon as we reach there, we saw a lots cute but bit naughty monkeys hehehehe...Even the manager there said we have to be extra careful with our belongings as the monkeys can just grab your bags or camera.

This one really wild as you can see it wont let you touch him

Cute Baby Monkey

This one is the Coconut Crab, hermit crab species and it is the largest land-living arthropod in the world, and is probably at the upper size limit of terrestrial animals with exoskeletons in today's atmosphere. Looks freaky actually, but they were actually quite shy...for now

Tea Break and leisure time

After tea break, the manager brief us more information about the proboscis and gave some advise not to yell or shout as we must respect the spirit of the jungle and yelling and shouting off course makes the wild habitats run away and hide.

Always smile for the camera

While cruising, the guide lead us to this magnificent eagle

Really beautiful show by the nature

Flocks of Bird on the beautiful evening sight

The sun begin to set

Time to go back but before we do, we all had dinner not just all staff of STB but also SPS staff. After dinner off to Dragon Inn, Goodbye Beautiful Nature
