Summary of 2008 Part 2

February/March/April

After my Adelaide trip, i was busy with a few photography trips to Kudat, Sandakan, Tawau, Semporna, Kundasang and Keningau. Went to Kudat to visit the Honey Bee Farm - Kg. Gombizau, the Gong making village - Kg. Sumangkap and to one of the long houses for Rie's story on Kudat in Nanyo Elite magazine, a Japanese magazine in Singapore.

My next photography trip was to SDK/TWU/SEMPORNA. We were instructed to take photos of the historical sites. Went to Agnes Keith House, Batu Tulug and Bukit Tengkorak. we travelled by road and it was fun, making up games along the way. Unfortunately, i did not bring my camera along, only Rinto and Maps (our photographers). On our way back, we manage to find time to visit Madai Caves. The people in charge of taking care of the place were very friendly and helpful.

For our next assignment, we went to Tambunan, Keningau and Tenom. we visited Mahua waterfalls, TVRC, Mat Salleh Memorial, Murut Cultural Centre and Sabah Agriculture Park. But our main purpose was to do hotel inspection, so we paid a visit to almost all the hotels there.

i brought my 1001 Sudoku along with me and Yahya is trying to solve one puzzle while waiting for Maps to take pictures of the hotel in Keningau.

Had another photography trip to Twu/Semporna by land. But we also went to Lahad Datu to do hotel inspection and stayed at Lahad Datu for one night before heading to Tawau/Semporna for the same purpose. We also went to Regatta Lepa and headed off to Pom Pom Island for inspection. we did our dive there but spent the night at Mataking. the next day, we had one more dive at Mataking before going back to Semporna. the dive in Mataking was good compared to Pom Pom.
