Beyond golds & millions of friends

Listening to John Mayer - Who Says

It's about time I update. Hands been itching to share with you so many things, but time has showed no mercy to me. I've been sleeping late, waking up late, from doing absolutely nothing, to juggling between four things to attend to at one time. Why four? I don't know.

Self doesn't seem to enjoy this. I like being busy. Consistently? Not really. But something productive always makes me feel useful, important. Perhaps, better when I sleep at night.

Sorry for not informing some of you that I'm in KK. It's been a blessing to have stumbled upon some of you guys in malls, restaurants and in church. Why all of us have grown up! I swear if I were to walk around aimlessly and not greeted you (even though I passed right in-freaking-front of you) I'm sorry. I'm "physically" challenged. I can't really see, and because I am too lazy to wear my glasses I tend to depend on my sister to identify my friends nearby. So please forgive me. I can assure you I'm not trying to be lansi :)

I'm coming to KL in 2 days.

Am I scared? Yes. With a million and one reasons. I am bothered about what my future holds for me. I am bothered about the things I will do in order to achieve what I want in life, or what I want to do in life. I am bothered about how I look or moreso how I'm perceived by other people when it comes to chasing my dreams. Sometimes. I don't even know what my dreams are anymore. Decisions have been constantly molded by current events in my life, I couldn't help but feel uncertain at times. So I brush up. Look through my past, to be acquainted with who I'm dying to be in future again. My family, my lover, favorite books, my papers, my friends, my hometown.

Then I'll get an idea again. Like I always do.

I'm in love. As always. But the song I'm playing now reminds me of the prettiest creature. My baby sister. She puts normality to shame, and puts wonders in simplicity and being hilarious. She's all the colour in my rainbow, and I hope the world appreciates and sees her like I do.

Well. You figured it out. It's that time of the post again where I start putting words of love into your head. See, I never gave up on love. My dear awesome friends, love doesn't come in a form of just a boy girl relationship. The wonders and miracles of love goes beyond appreciating one person. There's that morning. That old uncle in my favorite kopitiam. That nagging mum of mine, who from meters away could differentiate between a pair of dirty shoes and a "supposedly pillow" on the couch...

When you give so much, you could only receive so much. I know it's something when he,

Sings Mayer's Your Body is a Wonderland to me when I clearly know, it's nowhere near.

Thinks my giggles are natural and adorable, even at groggy 3AM in the morning.

Teases or pokes me just to see me flash even the grimmest smile.

Hugs me at oddest situations, just 'cause.

Thinks I'm the prettiest person in the world, with the perfect personality.

Last but not least, when he falls for this dark-skinned, short, stubby, noisy, childish, naughty, messy, scatter-brain unconventional beauty.

Quote, unquote.

When everyone sees her, you saw me.
Love & peace,
Jacqueline Rowena @ 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
