Six weeks ago (according to my Twitter DM date stamp) I received an invite to attend the SBG event in Sabah end of October 2009. You have to love how invites are now sent off Facebook and Twitter (E-mails are so yesterday) and “Direct Messages” column isn’t normally visible on TweetDeck.
Hey Jan! On behalf of the Sabahan Bloggers Gathering committee, we’d like invite you to come to the SBG this year on Halloween Oct 31st! What say you? — Caneeliea
I would have gladly accepted if Sabah was a district in Brunei. The idea of an hour’s commute from Seria town to the airport and then catching a flight to Kota Kinabalu (this is KK you know, not KB) and then returning to Brunei doing the same thing except in reverse—or drive roughly 6 hours one way (+/– an hour or two losing my sense of direction: you know men and directions!)—I feel tired just conceptualizing the journey 
That said, I’m very honoured and grateful for the invite! Unfortunately, I don’t think I can make it as I’m shooting the Toyota Classics 2009 on October 30th and I’m very certain I’ll be knackered the next day. Nonetheless, a big Thank You is in order but I do look forward to visiting KK again. I know Louis Pang made a guest appearance at SBG 2008 and I would love to catch up with him again. My last trip there with my family was every bit fun and memorable:
