About Me

My photo
Borneo Born
Sabah, Malaysia
Born and raised in the northwestern part of the great island of Borneo, I have lived in it ever since. I have travelled this Northland widely and lived in different parts learning and practicing my trade, and visited other parts just for the pleasure of seeing new and wondrous things, having climbed up the highest peak and trekked rainforests that I once thought would remain forever untouched. The small oil-rich Middle Kingdom I have visited too, as also the vast SouthWestland of Hornbills, but I have yet to explore the even vaster SouthEastland under the Red & White flag... I have had but only a glimpse of its vastness when I recently sailed and flew through it on my vist to neighbouring Sulawesi.
