Who am I?

Early mornings. Late nights.
Sometimes I take that the city is a little too much for me.

I'm not entirely sure about my happiness anymore. Which it revolves around, or which it falsely hang onto. There are so many things that's been bothering me. And to depict it to words would not do justice of what they actually are. They're like stars in the sky waiting to be deciphered by a bunch of college graduates. Remember?

Ah, good times.

I often ask myself this ; do I appreciate a more domesticated lifestyle or rather the incredulous sensation of challenge? Am I a strong family member that glues the family together, or will I be the broken piece that will become? Do I stay for a reason, or is there ever any reason for me to stay? When the time comes every month, I worry for every coins. What have I become?

I'm emotionally at struggle. I'm not trying to be poetic or anything by writing things that frankly, only I would understand but truth be told, I've lost so much of my privacy after these hectic months I can only be cautious. Not only that I'm slowly losing touch of what personal times and words mean, I've also registered to a rather different set of entity.

I'm scrutinizing my time here in this world. What are the things as a person I should be doing, or what personal goals do I really want to make come true? Have I really become that selfless that there are so many things in my future I will disregard by choosing what I will choose?

Quantity in life versus Quality of life.

I keep asking myself that question, and more often than not we all choose to live in denial. We don't know what exactly are the answers to our questions but we try to keep them in the closet as far as it could go. Contemplating, thinking to reopen it only when the time is right.

But when exactly is the right time?

I think I have secretly decided what I want in life. Not factoring in the journey of time and how things will turn out if I decide so. I am secretly ready for so many changes, yet I keep everything to myself, pray so diligently that nothing along the way will ruin these plans.

I will be there for you is a final answer I've settled with. How things will lay out is something I have to figure out myself while time permits me to plan. The strings that are attached will be a melancholy cut from all my dreams and fantasies. I will find my way to be able to move on without hurting anything or anyone in the process. It's something I don't know how to live yet, but have to patiently find a way to do so.

I pray that when the time comes, not only will I be ready but I will be strong (strong as her) and see the silver lining in everything I've decide on.

In the meantime, help me find me as I find peace in pray and love :)

Love & peace,
Jacqueline Rowena @ Jacqkie.

I've been away from this blog, my apologies - it seems that I have time to read when I actually don't have the time to read!! (I have an assignment due tomorrow haha).

Sweetie, I guess it's normal to be overwhelmed by the things that happen to us. You're young, full of zest and love for life, you should celebrate this! But being young also means you have all the time in the world to discover who you truly are which skin you feel comfortable being in :)

And I'll be here for you anyday, anytime :)

Love,

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
