Has it been only a week?

Drill #1.

Look good. Use common-sense for discussion. Do not over-promise, nor show signs of timid.

Drill #2.

Look good. Smile, ensure compatibility between you and that place. Be receptive of positions transition. Do not over-promise nor show signs of timid.

Drill #3.

Be very attentive of what to expect. Do not show signs of fearfulness. You are brand new. Be ready to accept any insane challenges.

Drill #4, next week, and I have yet to confirm my attendance. Tomorrow's it.

That's half of what has happened in my previous week.

While the other half is searching for a place to stay. A good one, with the appropriate size of space, with nice people around, and most importantly, the best of location. So we searched high and low, left right, far and near. So far, it has been good.

I'm confirmed with one place to stay.

Like I mentioned in Twitter, last week was almost too psychotic for me. Why? I'm put in a position to decide everything on my own. Every. Thing. Like, where do I go, what do I do, what should I do. How much. Independent is a whole new word. Even catching up with friends took another part of the week, and probably among the things that keeps me sane.

All of these in a week, I wasn't even given a chance to settle down, unpack.

Thanks everyone who has helped. Advises, love, encouragement. Besides the man who has helped me so much, and not complain once, you're awesome big guy.


Thank you.
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
