Melaka

"Mareelah naeik. Jum! Seinang sajahh."
"..erm. Okay."
"Kawan-kawan muh?"
"They're scared."
"..err..You dont know how to speak Malay?"
"I do! I thought YOU dont know how to speak Malay?"
"Haha. *smiles*, where are you from?"
"..err Malaysia?."
"ohh, I mean state...hmm, Sabah?"
"..*raise one eyebrow* yeah."
"Kadazan?"
"......yes!*widen eyes*. where are you from?"
"I'm Egyptian. But I'm staying in Malaysia. Jamal."
"...err Jacqkie.How did you.."
"Okay. We're here. The white slide is the dangerous one. The blue one, not-so. Which one you'd go first?"
"The white one."
"I knew it. See you down there. Take care of your necklace okay."

It's something for a Malaysian to know I'm non-malay/non-Indian. But it's amazing for a non-Malaysian (Jamal), to know I'm non-malay/non-Indian, a Sabahan and a Kadazan and speak good Malay to me! He must be someone who travels alot or down-right intelligent non-ignorant guy. *mighty turn-on!*

Yeah I had so much fun. But I woke up this morning with the Red-Eye Disease. Blardyheck. My bro said it will take up to 5-7days for it to cure, since it's viral infection there's no point on using any medication. My family and friends that's coming will be infected and I'm "advised" (which I definitely wont follow) to stay at home. My brother suggested, me wearing sunglasses to out or everywhere. Now I'll be the laughing stock of not knowing Geography for wearing sunglasses inside the mall. Gosh, what a break will this be!

That's the slide Jamal and I rode! Super High!
My Must Have. A good Book!
...Patrick is literally everywhere!

Summary:
a) My cousin's friend does not break or slow down in turning or u-turn. *gritting-teeth*
b) The air-cond did not worked like an aircond. *shakes-head*
b) Is it just me, or is Melaka so hot in the afternoon?
c) Listening to Malay songs for hours is not so bad after all.
d) ...But remember to bring mp3 to save yourself. *like really-really*
e) I had a crazy super pedas menggigit nasi goreng kampung!
f) Melaka's indians are hot.
g) Never bring your boyrfriend to your vacation. *I mean it!*


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
