Freedom Film Festival & The Sumandak Movement, 13th Dec - 15th Dec

Hi folks,

There are two locally produced events in Kota Kinabalu this weekend which we are all up for. If you're around town, instead of doing the usual rounds of weekends pop and stuff, you might want to include this in your itinerary :) Great stuff supported by great people.

Freedom Film Fest (13th December, 2013 - Friday)

Malaysia’s most established annual human rights film festival. We adopt the themes encompassed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). We believe that the protection of basic human rights is the foundation for genuine justice, peace, equality and democracy.

The Sumandak Movement: My Name is Not Hey Baby (13th & 15th December, 2013 - Friday & Sunday)

Written and directed by a very annoyed Sumandak, Jasmine King, and co-written by another very annoyed liang-moi, May, THE SUMANDAK MOVEMENT: 'My Name Is Not HEY BABY' brings light to a world wide 'disease' that many women (and the men close to them) would understand. The production is broken down to six short stories, or 'chapters', with a variety of genres - monologue, experimental theatre, comedy, poetry slam, and short videos - that comes together to form a rich and insightful production.

Pulau Sapi @ Tunku Abdul Rahman Parks

Before I proceed to my write up on Pulau Sapi, let me do the duty to carefully explain to you why there are so many people talking about so many islands at the mention of the word, Sabah. Reason why I'm doing so is because whenever people visit KK City, they have very limited time in exploring most of the natural gorgeous attractions, and sometimes ended up just moving around KK City. And when one does that, people would usually end up asking, why are there so many mentions of islands when we get to experience none? As you can see from the previous Matthew Paul map below; Sabah is situated close to top north of the Borneo Island. That said, it's a privilege to say that tons of islands are under the local towns and cities surrounding the shores of this particular part of Borneo island. From Sipitang (look out from South left), imagine yourself "walking" from the Sipitang's shore / beach walk up slowly to Menumbuk, Kuala Penyu, Pulau Tiga, Kota Kinabalu, Tun

Pulau Mantanani // Mantanani Island

I started off my 10 day break with a day trip to Mantanani. I wanted to visit Mantanani for THE LONGEST TIME, but couldn’t get around doing so all these while, either I haven’t saved up enough or basically, just haven’t got the weekends to spare it with. Some folks call it the mermaid island because of the dugong sightings underwater – which is seriously magical. Some folks even say you could catch a glimpse of dolphins. They’ve had photos with it, but I personally have never seen them before. Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to share with you why this trip was important. If you see the map above, I’ve yellow squared Mantanani Island in comparison to the journey from Kota Kinabalu. If you’re not a map kind of person, that is --- quite far. Not Sipadan (Tawau, Sandakan, Lahad Datu kind of far) but far enough to be a put off to some locals at times. Previously, you’d have to drive up north for approximately 1.5 hours, or take a bus to Kota Belud, to
