Giuk.net - Sabah’s First Blog Feeds Aggregator Portal

At last someone comes up with a blogtal or a blog portal that aggregates the latest postings from Sabahan made and maintained blogs on the cyberspace. It’s called giuk.net which means a worm in a local Sabah slang. That’s a good name for a blogtal if you ask me.

This site is owned by MrBadak and currently accepting submissions from Sabahan bloggers who want to be listed in the system. To get listed, just fill out a simple form and your site will be approved within 48 hours.

Malaysia is the world’s record-breaking capital

The story about the Malaysian record breaking obsession seems to be picked up by media from around the world.

Wired magazine has published a story about Malaysia as the world record-breaking capital.

Talking about record breaking, even the small town where I live in didn’t want to be left out. Apparently, we are the record holder for having the longest bamboo mattress in Malaysia. In a positive way, this has attracted some media publicity and to some extent has put my town on the local tourism map. But most of the time, my town is just like other peaceful and quiet little town.

You are a true Sabahan when…

A friend of mine sent me this list of things which embodied a true Sabahan, as her email said.

1. You drive at right lane of the road, with a speed of only 50 KM/H.
   If people horn behind you, you still don’t know what’s wrong.
2. You have the luxury of working from 8 AM to 5 PM (get off work punctually).
3. You don’t believe that there is any "clean" politician in Sabah.
4. You feel "obligated" to reach the top of Mount Kinabalu at least
   once in a lifetime.
