Oktoberfest at Shamrock, KK Waterfront

I have been just terribly busy with my new apartment. Busy and broke more like. Stretching out my dollars just to make it a great place to live. Actually, I plan to rent it out. But I'm putting so much of work and money into it because I put the idea in my head that this is going to be my storehouse for my coming landed house that I'm going to eventually build for a family!

Social life is down the hill too because I've been locking myself inside the house to avoid spending so much after work, but really, nothing like the idea of drinks and friends like Oktoberfest could repel me :)

Kim was coming with a bunch of friends so naturally we would invite Chris as well. I was told that there would be games, drinks, singing and dancing, the usual -- and I was so glad that I met Danny, and Eddie there whom were the first few people I've known when I first came to KK through work. Great catchup!

I was really notorious to Chris though (as usual), pushing him to join all the competitions to win for us just because he's white. So he had participated in the chicken dance (but of course) and other competitions as well, but I think he kept all the prizes to himself...... Kim doesn't usually drink but that night she was drinking stout like water o.O We were on the lookout for Kim, because she had been calling out the balloons "umbrellas" after that......... o.O Love them both with all of my heart.

Some of the pictures from the night :)

Till next year!

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
