De & Luke's Wedding at Lyrebird Falls

I promised myself I wasn't gonna sound like an alcoholic. But urm there were lots to drink on De's wedding! I never got buzzed as early as that and it was only 5pm. I was quite close to trashing myself #notproud

Thank heavens uncle started talking to us, or I wouldn't have stopped! It's too easy... Champagnes, wines, whiskey circling around and coming back at you every 5 minutes. I think that's what your best friend's wedding does to you. It puts you into a whirlwind of perspective. Whatever that perspective was. So I kept drinking!!


Luke was absolutely adorable waiting on De at the aisle 💖💖💖



And when De finally arrived, she looked absolutely beautiful 💘 The four of us started tearing up looking at the De. Sway and I started clenching our hands, cause she was the beautiful bride a year ago. How far have so many of us come..




It was a small ceremony of probably less than 10 tables. The four of us enjoyed the party so much, mostly chatting, (drinking) and catching up with De's family. Zabeedee sat next to us, while his wife Jo as one of the bridesmaid sat at the main table, quite funny to be separated but it was still so much fun!





It was an absolutely beautiful affair of set dinners, elaborated table setups, dessert buffet - but it was also our first time in a truly western wedding. So the dessert buffet, and some dancing cut short in between was a first time to the four of us 😁😁




Halfway through the dinner, uncle went to our table and asked, "did you take the pork?? or the fish??" the dishes were served alternately so while I got the fish, Swee got the pork.

DAMN. I WANTED THE PORK.



We also went out and took lots of photos from the photobooth. I MEAN. There were barely anyone, and we've traveled so far so we were gonna take lots of photos!!



Congratulations my love Denise and Luke!

May you will be filled with only love, kindness and compassion towards one another. We will always be around for you.

Love,
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
