And everything in between a busy schedule

I know life never goes according to plan, and even though we try our very best to make sure some elements in our life should go according to plan, for some strange reason life has it’s own twists and turns. So here’s to the year's remains and...

To planning my 2011!

Mummy and Aunty Moun paid us a visit last week, and I’ve always been that kind of daughter who tries a little too hard when it comes to spending time with my family when they’re around. I spoiled my sister a little too much sometimes, but she makes it up to me by being very independent nowadays. She manages her own public transport, her own walkabouts.

I’m proud J

This time around when mummy told me she wanted to go Melaka, I jumped at the idea and said yes to it without considering other million and one things around me. I have always been busy with work, so I told her that I would make all the necessary arrangements, all these while prioritizing on spending time with my family.

I even brought my laptop down Melaka, and worked late night on a Saturday while everyone was already sound asleep J It was a pleasant surprise indeed when I found out that it was my Aunty Moun’s first time down to Melaka and it was ages ago since Mum was there. So all the more reason to go!

I rented an MPV which costed about RM300 a day, it was in an excellent condition – spacious enough to move 8 of us around. I had a better deal before that, when early in the morning, just right before we were suppose to take the car, the man told me that the car (so conveniently) had problems so it wasn’t safe for us to use it. Blegh. I was trying to stay positive all the time, you know how travelling can be so stressful at times. I decided to just rent another car which was of course slightly more expensive.

Slept at a colourful backpackers lodge.

And had crazy loads of food.


November has been fun. But it also constantly reminds me of what I should be planning for next year as I’ve become more aware of how I would like to see my days go by nowadays. I want to be able to maximize, optimize my days. I would like to remember the greatest things that’s ever happened to me when I look back at the year. *thinks hard*

The girls are like a bundle of joy. They make me say the darndest things, I make them say the darndest things. I like the first picture a lot because I don’t have any makeup in it and it’s still nice J Very Au Naturel.

On a Sunday noon ;

If there’s no one more semangat than you to plan a gathering or a party, or among other things – you will never have these kind of memorable photos.

My office is organizing a secret santa, should I have one among my close friends before I leave for KK for Christmas?

Goodnite. I shall have another good weekend! J

Going off to TM Everyone Connects event this Sunday. COMELAAA!

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...

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...
