Jesselton Point is a wharf or harbor which located on the northern portion of Kota Kinabalu City Centre adjacent to Custom Office, Wisma Sabah or the Grand Port View Restaurant. This beautiful place also serves as the departure and arrival point for visitors of Tunku Abdul Rahman Parks as well as other islands. Tunku Abdul Rahman Parks consist of Gaya Island, Manukan Island, Sapi Island, Sulug and Mamutik Island. We will elaborate more info on Tunku Abdul Rahman Parks in my up-coming post.
Returned to our actual topic, on the 19th December 2008 approx. 8.00 pm, there was a Christmas Carol held at the Jesselton Point jetty. Folks who coincidentally playing “futsal” or dine at Jesselton Point’s restaurants were among the listeners of the Christmas message that night.

“Like the sun beam through the window as it sends the night away, that’s how Jesus pierced the darkness of our hearts on Christmas day, little Jesus light our way… Shine…”
Have a Blessed Christmas to you and your family. Shine…

It was a fantastic occasion. Those who visited Gaya Street, Kota Kinabalu on the 17th – 19th December 2008, I’m sure you agreed with me. Feel free to watch one of the stage performances which were captured during the Gaya Christmas Celebration 2008.
This was a gentle performance from The Sabah Tourism Board representatives and it’s really heartwarming. The unique thing about this performance was all music instruments were made from bamboo. None of them were using modern music equipments.
Apart from stage performances, some people occupied with photo taking activities, taking their family photo next to the holy baby Jesus, while some busy buying foodstuff or souvenir for their kids, some cheering, laughing, singing and many more. Wow…What a JOY! We hope this coming Christmas will bring more blessings and happiness to our beloved families. Praise is to GOD for these beautiful moments.

51st National Day means a lot to the Malaysian. Literally, Malaysia consist of several states including Sabah and Sarawak which located in Borneo Island. In fact, Sabah and Sarawak joined the Malayan union to form Malaysia country on the 16.09.1963 but we are still celebrating 31 August as National Day. As usual, every states has their own National Day celebration exactly on the 31.08.2008 in order to commemorate our legendary leaders as well as our previous history.
In Kota Kinabalu, people start to gather at the bus terminal near SEDCO building as early as 5.30am. Feeling fresh and energetic, they gather with their colleagues and fellow friends while reflecting on the beautiful history.
It was a memorable day for most of us who attended the simple and meaningful half day ceremony.
