| The Waterfront in Gaya Street, Kota Kinabalu On Easter Sunday, I walked along the waterfront in Gaya Street in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. I can't explain the blue of the waters that mesmerised me on that hot, sunny afternoon, which camouflaged the heat and left me wanting to take a ferry ride to the Gaya Islands on the opposite side. That morning, after attending mass at the Sacred Heart Cathedral, we enjoyed the sumptuous, tasty, sweet and sour tomato fish soup noodles at the well-known Api-Api Centre, just a short walk from the waterfront. A friend insisted that we try the famous cuisine and said we should never leave without tasting it, and we were not disappointed. This was the first time we spent Easter without mum, so it was good to be away and witness a different side of Malaysia. It was a lovely break. Everyday scenes at Gaya Street. You must go there! |

| Easter Mass at KK Sacred Heart Cathedral. The cathedral serves as a central hub for the Roman Catholic community in Sabah, hosting services in several languages to accommodate the diverse local population. Established in 1903, the church has grown into the impressive structure that stands today. The service was well-attended, and the ceremony was beautiful, making this Easter all the more special. One could feel the peace, serenity, and holiness that exude when sitting inside the magnificent church. Truly an awesome time spent in the presence of God. Here's wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy & Blessed Easter. -shobana- |
