Kawasan tugu Hachiko tu menjadi terkenal sebagai tempat orang berjumpa atau buat 'blind date'. Ungkapan "meet me at Hachiko" selalu digunakan.
Itu kisah Hachiko, err..di KK ni dua hari lepas telah dirasmikan sebuah plaque yang tertulis '0 KM' (takat kosong kilometere di KK). Saya pun pernah juga tercari-cari di mana letaknya kosong km di KK ni, sebab yang saya pernah nampak hanya tanda 1 Km berdekatan Padang Merdeka. Rupa-rupanya '0 KM' terletak berhadapan bangunan Sabah Tourism Board.
Adakah landmark baru ini boleh menjadi popular sebagai tempat berjumpa seperti Hachiko Statue tu?. Mo buat 'blind date' lagilah senang kali, ko berdiri ja betul-betul di atas tu bulatan. Kalau blind date kamu SMS "mana satu ko ni? Aku sampai sudah di '0 KM'". Ko pun balas, "ko nampakkah yang ensem-ensem sedang berdiri butul-butul di atas tu bulatan '0 KM'? Saya lah tu!". Kalau 'blind date' ko terus muncul dengan wajah gembira...sahlah ko ensem dan dia memang tertarik hati, tapi kalau ko terus tertunggu-tunggu...alamat jadi si Hachiko la ko....kekekek..silap-silap tugu tembaga ko yang kena buat sana..*LOL*

Hahahaa...tugu tembaga di '0KM', LOL. Trus jadi popular tu klu jadi.
A simple story derived from some part of my early life : I was about 12 years old and it was a school holiday. I decided to go home and visit my grandparents in another kampung. Transportation was rare in my kampung so my siblings - age 11 and 9 - and I opt to walk the 4km route before we reach the small town where we then took a public transport. Earlier when we were about to start our journey from home, I remembered we had trouble making Doraemon stay, so we were escorted by him. It was a safe journey, and finally we reached town and waved our goodbyes to Doraemon before we took the public transport at the bustop. I looked back, and I saw him running towards the moving bus trying to follow us, the usual thing he would do when Daddy drove off every day from home. He will stop running, I thought. And he did. I forgot about Doraemon for a while. Few days after that (lupa da brapa hari), we were moving towards KK in a car and we had to passed that same town. I couldn't describe how I felt when I saw Doraemon was still there sitting tall with his eyes looking at every passing cars. Waiting faithfully. I remembered telling Daddy once, that Doraemon will be a very good man if he is not a dog.
Wow..what a touching story! While reading through I thought it's a cat...but a dog named Doraemon! So looks like we also have one faithful dog down here. I wonder what happen to the dog now.
Hahaa..saya pun nda tau napa nama Doraemon juga yng kena pilih, jauh lansang dari gorouk (jauh panggang dari api). He died of old age, but his body couldn't be retrieved. He was very sick before that, and he just disappeared without a trace. Daddy said he went deep into the jungle and never came back. He also told me that a good dog would never want to trouble his master by his own death. Thus, he went into the jungle to die - alone. I was imagining how he dragged himself with his last might and energy till he reached the farthest spot he could able to (Pheww...).
