PROUD TO BE KADAZAN DUSUN

Aramaitii!!! haha... As you all know or not know at all i came from a pure family of Kadazan Dusun where my Dad came from Inanam and my Mom are from Tambunan. Kadazandusun is the collective name for more than 40 sub-ethnic groups which can be divided to three main groups: the Kadazan/Dusun, Murut and Orang Sungai. The majority of the Kadazandusuns are Christians, mainly Roman Catholics and some Protestants . Islam is also practised by a growing minority.

The designation is officially recognised as the result of a resolution of the 5th Kadazan Cultural Association (KCA) Delegates Conference held between 4 and 5 November 1989. During the conference, it was decided that this was the best alternative approach to resolve the "Kadazan" or "Dusun" identity crisis that had crippled and impeded the growth and development of the Kadazan-Dusun multi-ethnic community socio-culturally, economically and politically—ever since Kadazanism versus Dusunism sentiments were politicised in the early 1960s

Now I'm not going to get confuse anymore about the the title of "KADAZAN DUSUN"M because those two are different in term of language.

PROUD TO BE SABAHAN

UPSIDE DOWN HOUSE IN SABAH!!

Do you know that upside down house is really exist?? and the answer is It's REALLY ARE EXIST!! EVEN THE BASIKAL ALSO TEBALIK!! hehe. It is in my state of  Land Below the Wind or SABAH .

The Upside Down House Of Borneo or “Rumah Terbalik Borneo” is probably the latest tourist and the most weirdest attaraction in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. It started operation on 1st February 2012 and officially opened on 10th March 2012 by Minister of Tourism, Culture and Environment Datuk Masidi Manjun. The house which is literally upside down is said to be the first in South East Asia and Situated at Mile 21, Jalan Telibong (between Shell gas station and SMK Tamparuli), it is about 30 minutes’ drive from Kota Kinabalu City. Tickets for a Malaysian or My-Card holder is RM10, and RM18 for non-MyKad holders. Kids below 3 are entitled for free admission to the house.

This idea of “landed-property flipping”has become quite popular in recent years with the appearance of a few interesting upside down buildings in many countries across the globe.

WHAT IS DOODLE ART?

When first time i learn this kind of art.. I said to myself "what the h**l is this?!" just to mention that i am not use to doodling but I'm more to abstract kind of art, but i still try to make one, not just one but allot..i mean it ALLOT, a bit detail of it doodle is an unfocused or unconscious drawing made while a person's attention is otherwise occupied. Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be abstract shapes.

Stereotypical examples of doodling are found in school notebooks, often in the margins, drawn by students daydreaming or losing interest during class. Other common examples of doodling are produced during long telephone conversations if a pen and paper are available.

Popular kinds of doodles include cartoon versions of teachers or companions in a school, famous TV or comic characters, invented fictional beings, landscapes, geometric shapes, patterns and textures.

This is a collection of my own art which is I combine the two element into one (Abstract + Doodle)
