The last time I had a good swim probably was about a year ago. Man, I miss pool water sooo much! Today was just soooo awesome, including the fact that I rode the slides.

And yes, if you have really known me, it’s not that surprising to know that I’m the naughty little daredevil that likes to ride all crazy rides and in this case those dangerous, sloppy, curvy slides in the group. Yes, pelik but benar.

Those who joined in today; Bayen, Ika, Arthur, Dodo, Ingrid, Rowena and honey, Ernest and later Leander and honey and Jude.

I got sunburned, although it wasn’t really that bad, considering we were in the pool since 12pm. (I chose the time though. And yes, I do know who actually would want to swim at 12pm right?) Super sorry people!

I must say I’s rather impressed with myself that I managed to convince Ingrid (believe me, she’s a tough one) to go on those slides...

Me: Ingrid, cepatlah naik, teda papa tuh!
Ingrid: Tida mau! Sia takut bah! Nanti teda orang sambut!
Me: ada tuh, jangan ko risau, best bah tu slide Ingrid!
Ingrid: Tida mau! Tida mau!
Me: Okay, nanti ko menyesal lepas ko balik macam mana? At least ko ada try kan?
Ingrid: *considering- while putting one leg in*
Me: Cepatlah, sia suru dorang sambut. (Although I know no one’s gonna sambut her down there). Nanti ko menyesal tuh. Tengok, sia tida mati pun kan?
Ingrid: herm, okayla… *on the slide... *

I was looking for Ingrid wanting to know how her slide ride was… when I saw she has already went up to the stairs to go for another slide ride.


* Laughing to myself- ...I think I just got my answer! *




Note for the day, try people! Try!

Love,

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
