Trekkies Overload

If you think I was bad, imagine winning Sunburst, Rihanna, Jason Mraz, almost all of the movie previews, luncheons, & dinners, more concerts every friggin' month.

Let me introduce to you my friend, Jian Hao. (no picture, so imagine a tall chinese guy with American accent and always, always make this face -.-, oh thick eyebrows)

He's a freak of nature.

Well he called me up that day to watch the premier of Star Trek and offered me another free ticket which he naturally assumed would be Daren's (hehe). I immediately said yes because well, it's free! As much as you people out there try to convince yourself that it's just "Star Trek" don't deny that envy feelings you have cause he got it for free alright. Even I cursed him.

Anyway, he asked me to participate in some activities, so I went to the Trekkies' convention earlier (never in a million years would I imagine I'd go for one or even freaking say this) and was greeted with;


I stopped. What the hell should I respond?!

I wanted to burst out a laugh but I tried hard not to, 'cause well this is their turf. When I saw Jian Hao, I ran to him and started pouring my worries about the Treasure Trek that we'll be participating. I know Jackshit! And then he answered,

"I'M A TREKKIE VIRGIN TOO OKAYYYY". Too loud everyone started looking at us. I mean, every Trekkie started looking at us.

Went for the Treasure Trek and had so much of fun. Blisters on both smallest toes, ran around One Utama like it's Sales, and well my favourite part was lucky draw.

By the end of the convention/ gathering, I was really focusing on winning the damn uniform! Yeah the one that all of them were wearing! They were giving away those uniforms during the lucky draw, and guess what, I was the last winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which means I got the uniform. The trekkie uniform! Ngahahahahaha. So happy okay? Although I don't know much about Star Trek (just a little bitla actually- not that bad), well I recognised their faces and character names but if you start talking to me about the whole history and that whatever continuum thing I would probably just give you the fake nod. In my world, fake nod means, lullaby.

Right before the movie, we gathered and waited to see whether we won that Treasure Trek and of course, we didn't. Dahlah not one jackshit we knew about the movie, we have to explore One Utama pulak tuh. Goodness. It was like the worst combination ever!

Fast forwarded to the movie screening, security was WAY too tight that all types of technology/including Jian Hao's donuts were put away! :(

Whateverlah, the movie was good. Not kidding. But then again, don't trust me too much, I'm not a true Trekkie fan so yeah. Loved the action though, and Spock. He's a cool character.


Till then,

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
