Starting the year with sickness

I'm sick, slept the whole day today, skipped lunch, and I'm burning up all over. I don't know whether this is homesick already, but I do feel sad when I reach KL.

Thankfully, also miraculously I got a little better when sweets came to my house today to see me. It's quite strange, though I always knew and experienced myself that laughter is the best medicine. He made me laugh, giggled and cuddled-up I think I forgot about the sickness.

I'm currently looking for a part-time job as mentioned in Facebook. I hope we'll do well in the job interview tomorrow. I don't like wasting my time at home watching TV, or staring at the four walls. I need to do something, and since Australia would be costly I need to earn money and cut down on spending. I need to change my lifestyle as well, and make sure I'm everywhere, anywhere until I start working.

I need to focus on my studies as well, make sure I'm doing it better this time. To manage time better, and to have good rest in between. To eat healthier food, and try avoiding alcohol. Though I've done quite good last time, this year it has to be better. To start working by the end of this year, and to start drawing up my future.

Since I'll be 21 this year, it also means that my sister will be 17 this year, and that mummy's reaching for retirement soon. So I need to be intelligent in what I do, to give whats best for mummy and making sure my sister will be enrolled in a good uni. Hopefully, when my brother starts earning already, life for mummy will be easier.

Wow, I'm talking big already, and I'm not even earning yet.

Which brings me to my new year's resolutions. I know most of you have given up on new year's resolutions, frankly I don't even remember what was mine last year's but I do this because it's my tradition in doing good (for at least the first 2 months).
  • Maintain/ improve my relationships with sweetheart and my family.
  • Improve my Degree results.
  • Start earning more money!
  • Eat, live and love healthy.
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
