My Dream in the Year of Tiger

This year, I will run for money. Specifically, this Saturday I will run for
RM8, 8888 (no seriously, you'll be chequed as such), I can't wait to count my ringgits away if I win it. Want to run for some ka-ching as well? Click here for more details.

Here goes;

I aspire to make theater as my sideline. I don't know how I'll do it, but I'm hoping through knocking the right doors, this dream will become more realistic each day.

I don't aim to be Shakespeare overnight. Yes, I know it takes more than good grammar and good attitude for this. Some manipulative literary skills are (for some reason) sure winner. Something about not being able to read the obviousness of the plays intrigues/excites people.

It seems like the weirder the play is, the greater the response. Think Phantom of the Opera.

I am going to work my way around theater and be involved in theatrical writing in whichever way possible. Like, writing a sentence or two perhaps? Shove it to some emails and hopefully I get to see a couple of plays by the end of this year. Take notes, and maybe learn a thing or two. Least two - what to write (worldly issues and cheating hearts are favourites) and how to write them in a way both the mass audience and unique others will appreciate it. Serious business.

It's going to be so an artsy fartsy experience I might just get myself a beret and play dress-up while I'm at it. I know it's nothing extremely ambitious like bungee jumping or migrating somewhere else, but you see, I'm hoping.

I knew finding those weird looking masks fascinating when I was kid was a sign. $$$ sign damn right.


Oh well, let's see what the year of the Tiger will bring for me.

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...

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 ...
