BLOOD diamond


from the title itself it's pretty obvious to know what movie i watched today. it was blood diamond of course. if there is one word to describe this movie it would be. SCARY.

i think the two hours watching the movie was probably the most violence i've ever watch on screen in my entire life. it was extremely scary and very sad. to know that there was such thing happened in this world, and the sadder part is, in some parts of the world this thing is still going on.


Synopsis: It was about a place called Searra Leonne that was very much popular for it's land of diamonds. In that place, there are "soldiers" that called themselves Revolutionary Soldiers R.U.F,and if by any chance they found any villages or small livings, they would destroy and KILL all of them. They would take away young boys to join the R.U.F, they would brainwash them, drugged them, give them guns and teach them how to kill people. It was sick to see these people taught young kids to use guns and kill their own race. These boys were extremely vulnerable and the only way to keep living is to join the R.U.F and be one of them. One man survived the R.U.F(Djimon), he was forced to work for them looking for diamonds when he found a pink diamond which was considered a rare-find and very valuable. He was caught by the african millitant and was put into jail, and from there Leo DiCaprio found out that this man (Djimon- VERY GOOD ACTOR) discovered a pink diamond and hid it. to know this, he was desperate to make deals with Djimon and get the pink diamond with return he will give Djimon, his family. From there, they went through all the killing and Leo met an American Journalist that was eager to look for story on conflict diamonds. The great friendship they built urged and changed Leo to tell the exact story on conflict diamonds- who buys them, what happened, and why it happened. and proofs.

*the acting was absolutely brilliant. all the actors did an unbelieveable outstanding job. Djimon my personal favourite in this movie gave an incredible 5 star performance. excellent cinematography, picture, scriptwriting, plot, everything. i have nothing bad or even unsatisfied comment on this movie. absolutely nothing. it was flawless. it was one of the scariest movie to watch but a must see. to learn how money and exploitation kills people and corrupts everyone. until they would kill their own people for money.


i have always known about Searra Leonne since few years back, but never have i known what actually happenned and how things happened. when i saw this movie, i was extremely sad to saw the killings and saw how they corrupt young kids to go against their family. all in all, it was definitely a MUST SEE movie regardless anyone saying bad or not good about it.


you must know the real story behind coflict-diamonds or what i think it should really be called, blood diamonds- that people get killed and kills for these diamonds.


i'll think not once, not twice but billions of times when i want to buy diamonds now. although i think i cant afford one. the impact of the movie, it's soo.... scary!
Last say? watch it.



Djimon (Solomon Vandy) finally found his wife and two daughters in a refugee camp.

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
