christmas presents anyone?

My family has this christmas tradition whereby each of us have to buy presents for each other, better if we use our own money.

That means i must buy 3 presents; one for mummy, one for sisy and one for abang. We'd open our christmas presents after the christmas eve mass (that usually ends after 12am or exactly at 12am) with muffins, cakes, biscuits and hot drinks to keep us awake. And every year i have trouble looking for presents for mum and abang.


Why? because they want expensive, creative and useful things to them. They don't demand it of course, it's just there in their expression, you know?


My sister on the other hand would either pretend she loved her presents or smile sympathetically at the gifts but thank us endlessly later. one other reason why i love her sooo much..


Just like every year, me and my sister would help each other to figure out what to buy for mum.

We list down all the possible gifts (useful, creative or expensive items of course) we would want to give to mum.. same this year.


the list for this year:

a) Mousse- Need i say more?

b) Selendang- she burned one of her's the other day.

c) The face mask; the jerebu one? - My mum talks alot. ..what? it's creative and VERY useful to us. *giggles* it was really on the list though.

d) Pantyhose- her favourite thing to buy when she goes out. you know, for collection?

e) Hair dryer- i believe one of use could get electrocuted someday because of our current hair dryer. It's old and coverless. daym!

f) Sugar free chocolates- it's sugar free!

g) Home slippers- she bought her own every year.. awww.


*hahahahahahahaha*


After careful thought, we decided to buy her the selendang and the hair dryer.

very beautiful selendang and a very cool (with multiple functions) hair dryer.


see,

we do love her, so very very much. ;)


Love,

Jacqkie.

Pulau Sapi @ Tunku Abdul Rahman Parks

Before I proceed to my write up on Pulau Sapi, let me do the duty to carefully explain to you why there are so many people talking about so many islands at the mention of the word, Sabah. Reason why I'm doing so is because whenever people visit KK City, they have very limited time in exploring most of the natural gorgeous attractions, and sometimes ended up just moving around KK City. And when one does that, people would usually end up asking, why are there so many mentions of islands when we get to experience none?  As you can see from the previous Matthew Paul map below; Sabah is situated close to top north of the Borneo Island. That said, it's a privilege to say that tons of islands are under the local towns and cities surrounding the shores of this particular part of Borneo island. From Sipitang (look out from South left), imagine yourself  "walking" from the Sipitang's shore / beach walk up slowly to Menumbuk, Kuala Penyu, Pulau Tiga, Kota Kinabalu, Tun

Pulau Mantanani // Mantanani Island

I started off my 10 day break with a day trip to Mantanani. I wanted to visit Mantanani for THE LONGEST TIME, but couldn’t get around doing so all these while, either I haven’t saved up enough or basically, just haven’t got the weekends to spare it with.   Some folks call it the mermaid island because of the dugong sightings underwater – which is seriously magical. Some folks even say you could catch a glimpse of dolphins. They’ve had photos with it, but I personally have never seen them before.  Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to share with you why this trip was important.    If you see the map above, I’ve yellow squared Mantanani Island in comparison to the journey from Kota Kinabalu. If you’re not a map kind of person, that is --- quite far. Not Sipadan (Tawau, Sandakan, Lahad Datu kind of far) but far enough to be a put off to some locals at times. Previously, you’d have to drive up north for approximately 1.5 hours, or take a bus to Kota Belud, to
