This is a sponsored post.

It’s the time of the year again, the Kaamatan and Gawai Dayak Festivals! This marks my 3rd year celebrating it outside of Sabah Sarawak. I am going to miss I miss Tapai/Lihing/Tuak (Rice wine) again!

The Kaamatan Festival and the Gawai Dayak Festival is held every 30th and 31st of May and June 1st and 2ndrespectively. We refer to these festivals as Harvest Festival. Some of you may ask, how much this festival means to me?


Do you know that there is a  special webfilm which is produced by PETRONASthat brings to life the rich culture and rituals of Pesta Kaamatan and Gawai Dayak that is aired from 26th May on television and PETRONAS’ official YouTube channel? If you haven’t here’s a link below:

I am really touched of the videos and it truly shows what my culture is. For those who would love to experience Malaysia’s rich cultural heritage and ancient traditions from East Malaysia, do come and celebrate with us at Sabah and Sarawak and experience the 2 most important festivals!
In summary, I am proud to be part of this culture, tradition and arts. And I will continue to pass it on to my future generations!
Wishing all Sabahan and Sawakians, and most importantly, to all my readers
KOTOBIAN TADAU TAGAZO DO KAAMATAN
and
GAYU GURU GERAI NYAMAI

Special thanks to Petronas and Have a great weekend everyone!

Special Post: Chloe Tiffany Lee

Hello and Happy Kaamatan! Today I am going to introduce my awesome friend here, Chloe Tiffany Lee! Such a long name aite? Well you will know soon once you scroll down! She’s a very active and fun loving person (Even I haven’t met her in real life but it’s fun chatting with her through whatsapp, FB and email). so Basically she loves to travel! And here’s a pic taken by her about food….yes…I mean FOOD!

(Click to enlarge)

 Anyways, without further delay, let’s introduce her!

What’s your name?
My name is Mei Tchuin Lee but everyone address me by Chloe. Chloe is not my real name actually. It’s a name given by someone special to me and my middle name ‘Tiffany’ is given by my friend. So in short, there will be my family, friends, and special someone. 😉
What’s the reason that I have two names? Well, it’s not that I don’t like my real name but to ease everyone’s pain to pronounce my ‘Tchuin’, it’s easier to just say, “Hi Chloe”. Somehow, everybody seems to know Chloe Tiffany Lee more than Lee Mei Tchuin! 😛
Which part of Sabah you are from?
I’m from Kota Kinabalu! Orang KK bah!
What’s your fav food at Sabah?
Well, this can be a tough question because we have everything here in Sabah. I like our exotic food – Hinava, Tuhau, and Sayur gila-gila (they say). As I am also writing food reviews for most of the restaurant here in Sabah, you might need to ask me for a list! Ps, I’m a meat person but I’m trying my best to eat more vegetables. I promise. AND, important – Salmon.
What’s your fav place to visit at Sabah?
I would say, perhaps Kundasang and the jungle. I don’t know why but there’s like a relationship between me and our majestic Mount Kinabalu. Sometimes, I would bring along flowers with me and I would throw the petals one by one out from the window (sshhh.. keep it with you since you have read this. I don’t wanna get caught!). Yes, jungle. I love adventure and nature, and I fancy Bornean Pygmy Elephant! Bring it on!
What is your work/profession?
I’m the Publicity and Publication Executive in Sri Pelancongan Sabah Sdn. Bhd. (Wholly owned subsidiary of Sabah Tourism Board). I’m also writing for Sabah Malaysian Borneo magazine so I get to travel and eat. A lot!

 What is your name of your blog?
There is some tricky part of my blog. Previously, the name of my blog is “Faith. Hope. Love. Care. [Chloe] with the blog link – www.angelsbewithyou.blogspot.com. People often get the wrong idea for what kind of blog I have and what do I blog about last time. Which is why, I have changed my blog name to A Sabahan Blogger by Chloe Tiffany Lee (http://chloetiffanylee.blogspot.com/).
What do you blog about?
I blog about my travel experiences locally and internationally. I do blog about the food and drinks that I have tried, events that I am invited too, and focussing on Sabah culture most of the time. Sometimes I do blog about property and homes as I have studied Quantity Surveying before. So, it’s a mix of everything, but focusing of promoting the best of Sabah, and my daily experiences. Everything lah! haha

Here’s the awesome part, i you wanna date her , follow her by the links below because she has lots! 
Honestly, hopefully I can meet her one day when I am back at Sabah! Before I end this post here is a chibi version of her~

Cheers!
