I need a good book & meet new people

Listening to - uh, Lite FM (the awesomest shit)

I went to Singapore during the Labour Day weekend and it was really, really good. It was a good break from all things crazy that were happening in my life. Be it be work, other life decisions, it was a good disconnect from everything else.

Stayed with Audrey during the 3 nights, 2 days break and thank you Sweetie, you were a great host taking care of me and Daren. I wouldn't want to stay in any classy random hotel, rather do it all with you, including the late night, early morning works you and I did, or the exorcism session you and I went through. I really couldn't have asked for more. And it was good catching up with Chandni as well, who's in a good place as a producer now in Singapore, everyone's... working and is going through all kinds of crazy now :)

My favourite night was when Audrey's awesome boss Erwin brought us to 'Long Beach' Singapore for crabs, OMG - it was epic. The crabs were massive and we had two types, black pepper and chilli. Even Daren (who's allergic to seafood) went nuts. Now, I wish I have photos of those crabs. I think I can show once Auds uploaded them.

The other two things I loved;

#1 - Barossa's own brewed beer + hang out with Auds, Chand and DarenBaby + to supposedly catch the sunset we ended up talking so much and forgot about it

#2 - Clark Quay, ice-cream bread moments


Now that was a good 3 days, 2 nights, something all of us could use every now and then. I am always in a mission to re-evaluate life, in anything I do. Make sure I pass all the usual judgements, whether these are the things I want, who are these for, also the things that keep me grounded, sane. You know.

Now, I need a good book. A really good book that could help me sleep well at night, giving me more things to think about kinda thing. It helps me make informed decisions, following my heart, my way.

Secondly, I need to go out there and meet new people. Interesting new people, 'cause this always ALWAYS give me perspective in life. Meeting new people allows you to have great discussions in anything! It's so refreshing and it helps open your eyes on other things outside there a little bit, it's really good for the soul.


Okay till then, to another crazy week in work! :)


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
