Trip to Sabah Day 5

By

03062010
Destination: Manukan Island, 1Borneo Shopping Complex, Karambunai Beach, and Sepanggar Bay.

Manukan Island
Parked our car behind a shop lot then we walk to Jesselton Point. The jetty that connects KK with west coast islands including Labuan FT. 
Some prep to make: 
  • buy some food.
  • bring along swimming suit (in my case? short pant & t-shirt)
  • bring a mat or more (depends on what u plan to do..)
  • if u have ur own set of snorkeling things/life jacket, bring it along. or just rent it here, its quite cheap.
  • women, bring your sunscreen lotion! i get really bad sun burn for not wearing any. or just come early in the morning so that you dont have to worry about it.


Mr Husband really loves historical pictures, so he captured these.. Old Jesselton Wharf, now known as Jesselton Point/ Jesselton Jetty.

My officemate and family was there too.. We went in the same boat. Hehe. And their boy (Darwisy) sit in between me and husband. So cute!



Darwisy keeps on saying 'boat mama! boat!' right when he saw a boat and even when we were inside one. hehehe.. cute little boy!


the water, emerald green. its 10am so you cant see the top of Kinabalu anymore.. arriving 1030am. feeling as though im in a huge aquarium looking at those fishes below my feet. i cannot imagine what Sipadan look like, because this island is just heaven as it looks.




We went to the best spot, of course hubby hate crowded place. So our 'station' is in front of chalets. busy swimming and snorkeling (me? no. cant swim. i just grasping for more air, while trying to overcome my trauma (drown when i was 9) and holding onto his shoulder while he took me below the jetty to play with fish.- coz there's pillars everywhere that i can hold onto here, not bcoz of the fish. huhu).

Its 1.30pm, we almost missed our 2pm boat. hehe.. go clean ourselves and change.
1/2 hour later, we're back at Jesselton Point again. Had some ice cream, then to our next destination.


1Borneo Shopping Complex
Last time I was in KK, this shopping complex had its official grand opening. And me n friends get ourselves busy (in and out the main door just to get a few set of the doorgift. Hehe..

It was Kaamatan Week so there's still festive mood around. Of course, sales everywhere.
That notice attracts me. It's actually for shoes made of pig skin. Im puzzled when i read the notice said "Non-Halal, please do not touch!. There's misunderstanding of 'halal' concept there..Halal is for food status. Are the animals slaughtered according to Muslim rules? Does it contain any not allowed animals (include pig, any carnivores, poisonous animals and more). Pig of course not halal IF you eat it. But, WEARING it:: is HARAM! not non-halal... huhuhu.. Living in 1Malaysia but not sensitive to the Official Religion of the country huh..


Karambunai

After lunch at Chicken Rice Shop, we went straight to Karambunai. Around 5pm. To watch sunset. Arriving at Nexus Karambunai Resort. 5 star hotel maybe. not sure. But sure is beautiful place!


Sepanggar Bay
Last place to go, is Sepanggar Bay. Not far away.




I actually captured a pictures of navy base but got caught and ended up had to delete them.. huhu.. i didnt know we're not allowed to take pictures.. besides i dont see any 'no camera' sign..




around 8pm, we went back to KK again n go see Sinsuran night market (again)..

Pic blogging?

Dah lama la sangat tak post apa2. Bersawang dah blog. Sibuk dengan kerja, bila free tgk drama online, bila banyaaaak free buat bisnes photobook. Sekarang sibuk pulak dengan persediaan semester jun 2015 politeknik. Ada-ada je lah kerja untuk mempoyo n menyibukkan diri. Tu yg blog pun mcm rumah puaka tak de penghuni.. masuk keluar masuk keluar tak update apa2 pun... Jadi aku buat keputusan nak buat mcm micro-blogging.. tapi pakai gambar dan sedikit caption.. Ini dia gambar pertama. .............. Terkejut tadi tengok apa benda yg melekat kat cermin penumpang belah belakang kereta. Bila tgk dalam, rupanya anak aku punya kerja. Semalam dpt sticker, dia bantai lekat kat dlm kereta.. tergelak sorang bila teringat. Anak aku yg sorang je tu dah 4thn umurnya. Dah dihantar ke sekolah supaya dia ada kawan bermain.. maklumlah.. anak sorang.. belum ada rezeki anak lagi satu...

June 2008: Tanjong Balau Beach, Desaru, Kota Tinggi, Johor Bahru.

By
During my stay at JB, I managed to go to Tg Balau Beach, Desaru. From Drop Box If youre driving, than it's cheaper compared to renting a car or something. Its more expensive by taxi. I think it took 2 hours drive, plus LOST since I couldnt remember the road.. dont blame it on me?! the road look different from last time, 2005. From JB to Kota Tinggi takes 1 n 1/2 hours considering all the traffic jam on the way out of the city. Then from Kota Tinggi to Desaru approx. 40 minutes. The road might be tricky, so watch for the word Desaru, then Tg Balau on the signboard coz they will definitely help you. Not much to look at during the drive.. expect for hugeeee palm plantations.. Tg Balau is a masterpiece. Facing the South China Sea, clear water, blue sea, and not too many people like in Desaru beach. The one that im showing you in the pic is on the other side of the beach, you can ask for direction to go to the 'jetty' they call it. Or if they dont understand just tell them '...

I was just trying my luck by applying for a place at a new office. I was shocked knowing that my application was approved and it actually turned me blank for a while. There's so much to do! I don't want to hurt my head with so much things to think about yet, so I've decided to just go with the flow... Ramadhan is approaching, Happy Fasting yea! I'll be breastfeeding and fasting for the first time this year. Not sure if I'm capable. Soon will upda...
