baby, i'm back

I am so clever at times i just feel like pinching myself all over to realize how intelligent i can be. I wanted to upload the pics on my cam just now, when i "fell" like there's something missing. and we all know how "feelings" can be very right sometimes. I went back to my room and looked through to all my stuffs;

a) Laptop. check.
b) Mouse and charger. check.
c) Phone Charger. check.
d) Adapter. check.
e)Memory cards. check.
f) Camera. check.

herm. what did i miss? when i was about to keluarkan the memory card from my camera, all of the sudden there's this spotlight spotlighting on (is there such thing) the BATTERY. I FORGOT MY CAM BATTERY CHARGER. *shakes head*

i waited for my brother just now to tell him what i left behind, just to see whether he'll shake me to death or ignore me. He's a bit of a perfectionist, so it's fun messing around with him- because before leaving for KK, he helped me pack some of my stuffs.

ME: bang, i left something behind........
ABANG: *turn around makes a "what is it this time?" face*
ME: ..camera battery charger.
ABANG: *closed his face with his hands* pandai betul oh kau nih.

That's exactly what i thought.

SO anyway, am currently in KK. YEHAAA! I reached home around 10something and only slept at 2.30am. I was busy fixing up my mum's NEW(ceh ceh ceh) phone's contacts. arranging it and making sure the phone is completely ready by morning. am still a little bit scared imagining how my mum's gonna communicate with people with her new phone. My mum is the replica of me. We dont seem to care or know about savvies, gadgets or phones in this matter. i just hope my mum wont be loudspeaker-ing while she puts it on her hear, because people! i've seen that happen.

I couldnt really sleep last night. i was extremely happy and excited that i'm finally back home. I've been missing my house BADLY here in KK back few months ago when college was torturous, and here i am now feeling happier than ever.

Not only everything here is free; rent, food, bills, astro, Maid(wah, i wish i'd one in KL), internet, car, advises, siblings' love and burdens- but it's also because all my loved ones are sleeping under one roof. I can just tuck in with my sister when i feel like to or i can just watch meaningless sports with my brother because let's face it- he'll control the tv.

Imagine this- you woke up at 6.30am. You open your phone, you have messages asking "where the hell are you, lepak!" and mum's message asking why did you switched off the Astro just now.
You go downstairs only to see your laundry has been clean up for the day- not the week-, and you look for food when your maid kindly asked you what to eat so she can cook for you,
you opened Astro to watch Fairly Odd Parents with Ice Milo in your hand waiting for the food.. and then your brother arrives with YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD of all time and rm30 for handphone reload. and then you also realize, Pirates of The Caribbean 3 is on screen this thursday and your FAVOURITE MOVIE of all time- SHREK 3 will be out by 31st may too. the movies that you'd wish to watch with NO ONE else but your loved ones (my baby sis actually) who knows so much about your love for the movie.

I wouldnt trade my KK home (i wouldnt call it a house) for anything in the world. and sometimes i am very glad that i'm studying so far from home. It just makes home more meaningful and problems far away.

*inhale* home really does smell sweet. *exhale*

Love,
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...

One Night at Manukan Island at Sutera Sanctuary Lodge

We were supposed to go somewhere for Jessy's birthday, I wasn't quite sure how we decided on the island, but that was a pretty sweet decision. By day, the island was brimming with tourists and families, but by evening as the sun sets colouring the sky, it becomes a quiet isolation and absolutely stunning to enjoy an evening walk by. If you ever had the chance to stay overnight in a small island, please try it. We stayed at Sutera Sanctuary Lodges, cost us about RM 500nett for three of us. We woke up slightly earlier around 9am to enjoy the beach and swim when no one was there yet. Well Jessy did the swimming. I had a wedding to keep my tan lines even the week after so I kinda hid from the sun 😌 The unit though, almost chalet like was quite huge! The bathroom itself felt like an entire unit, with unique tiles that go right up to the top. Very luxurious. And. it. has. windows. looking. out. the. room! Each unit has its own balcony, which makes a perfect place ...
