In conjuction with Hari Malaysia...

Have been wanting to write about this topic since I have started to work here in Telupid. In conjunction with hari Malaysia, I think at least I should write something about my country and the government. First of all,let me introduce to you this ulu place called Telupid. It is a small district in Sabah state. Located in the middle of 2 biggest city in Sabah, Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan. It is basically a dead town, but due to its 'strategic' location- in the middle of 2 big city, you will have to pass by this place if you are travelling between these 2 big city.

When September Ends...

This year's September is different. Going to transfer back to Pahang at the end of September. It is a turning point to my work and life.
