VISITING SABAH MUSEUM - PART 2

 [CONTINUATION OF PART ONE]

  26th FEBRUARY 2023  I first thought I could just spend a short time at Sabah Museum so I could get to other places before moving to Kundasang/Ranau. That was not going to happen when I was at the museum. Just too many things to see, too little time.

We came to the Natural History Gallery where many huge and real [but dead] wild animals had been preserved.

The other section displayed items made of ceramics. The huge traditional clay or ceramic containers could be water bowls or used to store other things must be important household items since time in memorial.

Then came the Chinese who brought along their own ceramics which were more colourful with intricate designs.

This was not the end of the exploration of the Sabah Museum yet.

VISITING SABAH MUSEUM - PART 1

  26th FEBRUARY 2023   ~ The other attraction visited during the one night stay in Kota Kinabalu was Sabah Museum.

The entrance fee for a local visitor was only RM2.00.

We were first greeted by this huge skeleton of a fish at the foyer of the entrance.

The first exhibit had to do with the State Chief Minister. The paintings were all his work of art.

The museum was quite huge with a few halls on the levels [I think].

WELCOMING THE MONTH OF RAMADHAN 1444H

Ramadan is here again and do you remember the time when we had to stay at home, not only there was no bazaar but also we could not go to the mosque in the holy month? Now that the pandemic is gone, we have to celebrate and cherish the normal life we have.

I was an early bird to be at Kampung Melayu Bazaar Ramadan at 4:00 p.m. I just hate the crowd and the hassle of finding a parking space. We are having two public holidays today and so lucky that the weekends are extended for four days until Sunday. I went early as I was expecting a huge crowd at the market when everyone was on holiday. There were already many people when I arrived at the market.

I was only trying to get some kuih [the food eaten before/after the main course] and at the same time, recceing the choices of food I could buy when I come back to this place some other time.

 

MY REVIEW: Surprisingly, there was only on stall selling "Nasi Campur" - rice and the the variety of dishes that go together with it. And not many stalls were selling the colourful iced drinks in big containers. Was there only one? Perhaps they had not started business on the first day of Ramadan. I will have to come again later to prove my theory is correct.
