This blog is mainly about Sabah, until 1963 British North Borneo, seen through the eyes of veteran local journalist Sikmading. Located in Borneo, the 3rd largest island in the world, this east Malaysian state is home to Kinabalu, the highest mountain in South East Asia and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sabah also offers Sipadan and Layang-Layang islands, said to be among the best diving spots in the world. Tourists also come to see the Orangutan, proboscis monkeys, the world's largest flower, Rafflesia and of course our diverse culture and unique Borneo people, some of whom are seen in the picture at the top of this blog. To know more about me and why I chose 15th July to start my blog, please read my first post, "Hello! Borneo calling...", by clicking on July 2007 under My Blog Archive. However, to avoid boredom, I may from time to time blog about things non-Sabahan or non-political,including Hollywood, Bollywood or whatever wood, including Tiger Wood. And of course, I do blog about Borneo in general and other parts of Malaysia especially events in the national capital Kuala Lumpur which may affect Sabah. Thank you and welcome to the 'Land Below the Wind.'

Psalm of the Day - Evening Prayer for Help
Answer Me When I pray, O God, my defender! When I was in trouble, you helped me. Be kind to me now and hear my prayer. How long will you people insult me? How long will you love what is worthless and go after what is false? Remember that the Lord has chosen the righteous for his own, and he hears me when I call to him. Tremble with fear and stop sinning; think deeply about this, when you lie in silence on your beds. Offer the right sacrifices to the Lord, and put your trust in him. There are many who pray: "Give me more blessings, O Lord. Look on us with kindness!" But the joy that you have given me is more than they will ever have with all their grain and wine. When I lie down, I go to sleep in peace; you alone, O Lord, keep me perfectly safe.
- Psalm 4, Book One taken from the Good News Bible, Today's English Version.

Joke of the Day (On Creativity)
It was an elegant dinner party and the hostess had left nothing to chance - except that a little water had splashed on the marble floor outside the kitchen door. And when the waiter came out carrying the beautiful roast suckling pig, he slipped and fell flat, sending the roast flying. "Don't worry, Charles," said the hostess calmly. "Just take the roast duck back to the kitchen and bring out the other one."
Malay Pantun (Quatrain) of the Day (On Adat or Custom)
Ada sirih ada pinang, Nantikan gambir dengan kapur; Sudah dipilih sudah dipinang, Hanya menanti ijab kabul.
