And may Vancouver treats you well

As I scramble around looking for things to give you as a farewell gift, I saw my name card. Everyone has their humble beginnings. You were part of mine.

When I first came to KL expecting, and not knowing anything what a private college's class would be like - YOU, not only eventually became the best tutor I've ever worked with, but you also became one of the closest friend any of us could ever asked for.

I was never certain of a lot of things in life back then, but listening to you preaching about life when I first entered reminded me of how absorbent, fond my mind was of your way of life and how you look at things in life.

You are different.

You remember our names, our stories, our luncheons, our dinners, our sorrows.

You friggin' add us on Facebook, you talk to us, you share with us.

You never taught us, you worked with us.

You love us fairly, you appreciate us equally.

There are so many types of yous I've met in my entire life, but nothing came close. There's something personable, sincere and kind about the way you genuinely want to know about our life.

I pray your family will do great in Canada. Home is where your heart is, it doesn't matter where tide brings you as long as your pillar of love and hope surrounds you :)

Thanks for being an inspiration, Indy.

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
