to THAI or not to THAI

I'm not a "Selangorian". Back in KK we dont have public holidays for Thaipusam. All these year i would watch the Thaipusam celebration in TV and get awed by all the really realllllly reallllllly unique guys with all the metals sticking out on their face and skin.

now THAT is cool!

Today i finally been given the chance to go to Batu Caves and watch these people myselfs!!!

Unfortunately, i cant make it.

My mom thinks it's too dangerous to go there as there'll be a MASSIVE crowd and i need to finish up my assignments. She knows i love cultural things and traditions, so it was a moody thing for me not to go there. She asked me to be realistic, give the Hindus the chance to take my place. So i let go of the opportunity to watch the peoples and experience the celebration in Batu Caves.


I tell you, someone should bring me to Penang one day and let me experience this unique celebration.

To Petrina: thanks for inviting me, although you barely knew me. Invite me next time. Infact invite me all the time to these celebrations! Love you!

now THIS is ART.

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

Heart of Borneo - The lost world of Bario

A few months ago, I wanted to set out on a rugged Borneo trip which would encompass the east coast of Sabah - from Tawau, Lahad Datu to Sarawak's Bario. This came with a graphic plan of having to camp in the forest and sleep in the bus for a 12 hours treacherous ride. Initially my goal was very simple.  To do a Borneo trip.
