Sadelaide? Radelaide? Greatalaide? Okay, I just made this up

Most of you might know that I'm currently in a long-distance relationship with DarenBaby. Frankly, this long distance relationship hasn't killed both of us yet, in fact I'm surprised how calm and composed we both (currently) are.

He's the most understanding man ever, and I appreciate that by doing the same favour to him. He understands that my internet usage is only about 6GB a month which means Skype isn't possible everynight, and my phone bill is pretty limited as well, which means we both have to give and take calling each other. And he gets that! Ahh, your so amazing baby!

But I do miss him when he calls me, I get all cuddly and mushy ;)

Enough about this, I think you guys have seen our Facebook walls messages (enough) already, I get that.

Let's talk more about Adelaide. Or Radelaide, or Sadelaide, or Lamelaide my friends say. Well, it's not thaaaaat bad. The people here are generally, really friendly especially the customer service and to me that's a huge pluspoint. I'd like to be informed, say well informed when I buy things or do any transactions and this place is like a huge bundle of joy. How can you not buy? Seriously.

I'm probably not used to a couple of things yet, like the weather (!!!!) because most of the time I walk in flip-flops and 2-4degrees doesn't allow me too, the food and the fact that a lot closes about 5ish that would lead you to coming up to the city early. And say you forgot to buy a few stuffs after that, you'd have to come back to the city, the next day. Which leads me to transportation.

The public transportation here is excellent noting the fact that Adelaide is a small city. It has trams and the buses here (I'm not too sure about this) covers almost all areas in Adelaide, which I find very convenient. The system here isn't so bad as well, like the trams gives free rides if you travel around the city and the buses here uses a 10rides ticketing system, plus these tickets are sold everywhere at convenient stores, so instead of the usual lining up it's an immediate entry.

I can't think much for now 'cause I'm really hungry and TheSims3 is stuck in my head. I'll update more in the future!

Hugs & Kisses,

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
