Who am I?

Early mornings. Late nights.
Sometimes I take that the city is a little too much for me.

I'm not entirely sure about my happiness anymore. Which it revolves around, or which it falsely hang onto. There are so many things that's been bothering me. And to depict it to words would not do justice of what they actually are. They're like stars in the sky waiting to be deciphered by a bunch of college graduates. Remember?

Ah, good times.

I often ask myself this ; do I appreciate a more domesticated lifestyle or rather the incredulous sensation of challenge? Am I a strong family member that glues the family together, or will I be the broken piece that will become? Do I stay for a reason, or is there ever any reason for me to stay? When the time comes every month, I worry for every coins. What have I become?

I'm emotionally at struggle. I'm not trying to be poetic or anything by writing things that frankly, only I would understand but truth be told, I've lost so much of my privacy after these hectic months I can only be cautious. Not only that I'm slowly losing touch of what personal times and words mean, I've also registered to a rather different set of entity.

I'm scrutinizing my time here in this world. What are the things as a person I should be doing, or what personal goals do I really want to make come true? Have I really become that selfless that there are so many things in my future I will disregard by choosing what I will choose?

Quantity in life versus Quality of life.

I keep asking myself that question, and more often than not we all choose to live in denial. We don't know what exactly are the answers to our questions but we try to keep them in the closet as far as it could go. Contemplating, thinking to reopen it only when the time is right.

But when exactly is the right time?

I think I have secretly decided what I want in life. Not factoring in the journey of time and how things will turn out if I decide so. I am secretly ready for so many changes, yet I keep everything to myself, pray so diligently that nothing along the way will ruin these plans.

I will be there for you is a final answer I've settled with. How things will lay out is something I have to figure out myself while time permits me to plan. The strings that are attached will be a melancholy cut from all my dreams and fantasies. I will find my way to be able to move on without hurting anything or anyone in the process. It's something I don't know how to live yet, but have to patiently find a way to do so.

I pray that when the time comes, not only will I be ready but I will be strong (strong as her) and see the silver lining in everything I've decide on.

In the meantime, help me find me as I find peace in pray and love :)

Love & peace,
Jacqueline Rowena @ Jacqkie.

I've been away from this blog, my apologies - it seems that I have time to read when I actually don't have the time to read!! (I have an assignment due tomorrow haha).

Sweetie, I guess it's normal to be overwhelmed by the things that happen to us. You're young, full of zest and love for life, you should celebrate this! But being young also means you have all the time in the world to discover who you truly are which skin you feel comfortable being in :)

And I'll be here for you anyday, anytime :)

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...

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 ...

From Subang to Adelaide

Listening to - Jason Wade You Belong To Me In about 3 months, I'll be separated with Daren. He could only make it to the last year, but since I'm back then he would probably revise everything. Watching Marley & Me just now didn't help, of course it worsen my situation. I can't find a reason to be excited eventhough I should like everyone else, since it's a new place, new friends. But to me, home is where my heart is and clearly it follows wherever he goes. When I was walking alone to Section 14 to buy some food just now, I almost cried remembering all the good memories we've shared. The wonderful things he has done for me, the beautiful things he has said to me it's the kind of pain that I know will reopen once I'm there all to myself. I cannot describe that boy's contribution to my growth. He has his remarkable ways in handling life, and I've always looked up at him for being the sweetest person any girl could have ever met. I've done lo...
