About two years ago, I've posted about our 'Tadau Kaamatan' thingy (read here) and I've put up a picture of myself in my younger days dressed in traditional Kadazandusun costume. And this particularly picture (see below) was used without my permission by quite an established Malaysian company based in Sabah for their 2011 calendar. I guessed they just googled up about the 'Kaamatan' and stumble upon my picture - a Kadazandusun girl (konon). I didn't know about it until some of my friends called me up. I was quite upset that I called the company up but of course I don't have the right to sue them (not that I want to) because I did not do any copyright on my photo (silly me). Apparently they apologized but they didn't give me any $$ and all they could do is sent me few copies of their calendars (haha!) - I think I was too lenient with them because they told me that my picture was the most beautiful (paling cantik) - duh!
The 2011 calendar that unexpectedly featuring the very young me (taken about more than 10 years ago):
