Vedablu @ 24th Sabah Dragon Boat Race

After: Picture taken during 20th June (Saturday) late afternoon

Events often take alot of planning and time. There is never a guarantee of us having good results, but often we do this to be apart of the happenings in our small town Kota Kinabalu.

Before: empty space before the set up

Like many other events this year, this is the first time we set up a booth at the newly constructed Public Park at Tg Lipat. We got a nice place under a huge tree next to the stage area. The weather was so hot... that our freezers couldn't maintain the needed temperatures to sell our ice cream like we do in our outlets. We were thankful though for the strong winds, that kept us cool, but kept blowing our large banners away.

Multicoloured flags

Attached are just a few of the before and after photos of our booth set up. Didn't manage to take pictures while the races were taking place because we were also busy serving our customers in the booth. All the pictures were taken with my mobile phone. While I was sitting and resting at the booth, the multicoloured flags that fluttered in the wind against the backdrop of a clear blue sky caught my attention. I felt DBKK (our municipal council) particularly did a good job at this event keeping the whole area clean, as compared to other events we have joined. So... my weekend was spent in Tg. Lipat working, while watching the sea and sunset. Next weekend, we will be setting up a booth at Sabah Trade Center for the Sabah Best 2009 exhibition showcasing all things Sabah. Hope to see you there.
