The Rottweiler of Keningau

2010-03-11T21:21:00.000-08:00

The Rottweiler has a muscular, massive, powerful body. The head is broad with a rounded forehead. The muzzle is well-developed. The teeth meet in a scissors bite. The Rottweiler is powerful, calm, trainable, courageous, and devoted to their owner and family. Loyal and protective, they will defend their family fiercely if needed, seemingly immune to pain. Serious, even-tempered, brave, confident and courageous, this breed needs an owner who is strong minded, calm, but firm and able to handle their massive size. A docile, natural guard dog with a laid-back, reliable temperament. They are highly intelligent and have proven their worth beyond question in police, military, and customs work over many centuries and can be trained for competitive obedience. Because of their size, training should begin when the dog is a small puppy. They will not be happy confined to a kennel or backyard.

I'm a big believer in growth. Life is not about achievement, it's about learning and growth, and developing qualities like compassion, patience, perseverance, love and joy. The kind of commitment I find among the best performers across virtually every field is a single-minded passion for what they do, an unwavering desire for excellence in the way they think and the way they work. Genuine confidence is what launches you out of bed in the morning, and through your day with a spring in your step.

Which Malaysian state do you consider best for travelling?

2009-11-19T07:55:00.000-08:00

It is Sabah! And will always be Sabah...
Also known as the 'Land Below the Wind', Sabah occupies the eastern part of North Borneo and is East Malaysia's second largest state. Geographically, Sabah is mountainous and has lush tropical rain forests. Sabah has many beautiful island and pristine beaches. Presently, it has a population of two million people and is made up of 32 colourful ethnic communities.
The three main indigenous groups of Sabah are the Kadazan-Dusun, Murut and Bajau. The Kadazan-Dusun make up one third of the population and live in the interior plains. They are mainly padi farmers though many have ventured into other trades. The Murut, who live in the interior region near the borders of Sarawak and Kalimantan, are farmers and hunters. The Bajau, who make up the second largest indigenous group, live mainly on the east and west coasts.

What is the famous food in Sabah?

2009-11-19T07:38:00.000-08:00

Seafood is a must! Sabah is famous for its fresh and delicious seafood. Your journey to Sabah is not complete if you have not tried the varieties of seafood in Sabah. Most of the famous local restaurants offer a fantastic array of fresh seafood (often alive and kept in aquariums), and fresh local vegetables. These restaurants such as Port View Restaurant, Kampung Nelayan, Ocean Village, Shuang Tian and Gaya Seafood are located in Kota Kinabalu city. If you’re craving for a more adventurous dining setting, you can try out at Salut Seafood or Gayang Restaurant. The seafood in these restaurants is clean and their services are exceptionally efficient!
In those restaurants you have the privilege to inform the attendants how you would like your fish, mussels, lobsters, frogs and squids, cauliflowers, spinach and fern sprouts prepared. This is a fantastic way of composing one’s own dinner without having to worry about cooking it and washing dishes! But beware, while the prices are indicated everywhere, you might be astonished at the bill you receive in the end. A dinner for four, with a medium sized steamed carp, half a dozen giant butter prawns, a sweet & sour soup and two local vegetables can easily cost you RM80, not including the drinks. Nevertheless, what matters most is “Have fun & Enjoy Seafood in SABAH!

Can anyone recommend a travel guide for me in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah?

2009-11-19T06:50:00.001-08:00

Hi, I am going to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah for 4 days 3 nights and I am looking for a local tour guide to show me around. Any good one to recommend?
Are you looking for a tour guide only, or a tour agency? There are many travel agencies here, just visit the Sabah Tourism Official site and you get all the addresses, but don't expect replies if you email them. Most agencies are not really internet savvy. What you can do is visit the website of one agency, get some ideas on what to do in Sabah (all agencies offer the same trips, only the rates vary), then come here and make your reservations. Another excellent site for inspiration is www.sabahtravelguide.com (actually better than the official government website, which is rarely updated). I do not want to give private phone numbers on any particular guide - I suggest that once in Sabah you ask the hotel concierge or receptionist, they do have their contacts. Happy Traveling!
