The Tip of Borneo


The journey to Kudat from Kundasang via Kota Belud - Ranau road was indeed a new experience for me cause I have never been on that road before. It was a very exhilarating experience. 

As we embarked our journey there, the view of the Mount Kinabalu was visible stretching from Kundasang - Tamparuli - Kota Belud. Alongside the road in Kota Belud is the Taginambur river.

We stopped by at a spot on the riverside to enjoy our chicken wings that we bought in Kundasang earlier. The river is so divine and clear that it shows that it's never been polluted. Let's hope, it will never. It was a very calming moment for me as all I could hear was the sound of water splashing the rocks on the riverbanks and flowing through the river way. How lucky the people who live around there.

We continued the journey to Tanjung Simpang Mengayau (also famously known as the Tip of Borneo) after the short break. It was my second time to the Tip of Borneo. It's just that this time around. I got to stay overnight there.

It was a very memorable experience to stay one night there. My phone line coverage was so poor that I could not go online or surf the internet for the whole time. It taught me a lot in terms of appreciating the nature even more and how I live my life without the internet.

I realized I was too attached with the internet thingy until I got myself in a place where there was no internet coverage. 2 days and 1 night was actually the moment to reflect myself. How many things I could do which are beneficial and even better than just going online. Well, thanks for the experience.

I got to see the sunset in Tg. Simpang Mengayau on the same day we arrived. The next day, we went to Bak Bak beach in Kudat town early in the morning just to witness the sunrise.

It might be such an ordinary activity to be done on weekends but to me it was a blast experience. We need some moments of silence and just enjoy the nature works. I am that type of person. I can easily forget everything in just a sec if ever I got to do this. How I deal with my own problems and innerself-battles.

Here are some pictures during our trip to Kudat. I think better let the pictures speak for all.

Hello 2022

 Alhamdulillah for everything... Today is 28th of February 2022 and I just wanna say thank you Allah for all the blessings you have bestowed me. I know it's the last day of February and I think it's still not too late for me to wish everybody a Happy New Year 2022! haha Whoaa... it's amazing to know it's already 2022, guys. Can you believe it? A lot of things happened in 2021 that I just didn't have that much time to update my blog.  The worst part for last year was the passing of my beloved grandfather whom passed away on 15th January 2021. I know I should have written about him like how I wrote for my granny in 2019. But the memory was too much and I was truly in sorry for quite a few months after his passing. It took me a while to get back up and continue living. It was really the most sad day ever in my whole life. I witnessed his last breath and the moment he said the 'syahadah' was the most tear-jerking moment I ever saw. I just could not believe it ha...

Rest in Peace Dear Grandma

A lot have happened recently. At some point, I just cannot think and deal with it anymore. I'm afraid I could not be able to bear it, but Allah will never test His servants with anything they cannot bear. A week before my grandmother passed away, I went back to my hometown with my brother and sister-in-law and nephew as I received a call from mother that she wasn't able to sit, eat and do things due to extreme fatigue. It had been a week since that happened but I was sticked to my plan that I wanted to go back to my hometown before Eid-ul-Adha. 20th July 2019 At 10-ish am, my brother arrived with my s-i-l and nephew. I asked him to drive my car as I really wanted my Dad to test drive it anyway. As usual, a journey on the road is always tiring. 6 hours drive and we managed to arrive home at 10 minutes to 7pm.  I just went straight away checking on my mom's condition and saw how weak she was. I couldn't tell everything here but that's what happened. I did...

This Thing Called Love

Love. What is love to you guys? I believe we all have our very own interpretations of love. In this very post, I would like to talk about it. Do not worry, it won't be lengthy or boring, I hope. :) So, before I go further, I would like to clarify on the aspect that I would like to focus on, which is truly based on my experience. To be specific, the experience based on my past relationships. Everyone loves to be loved by someone, right? I do, for sure. How many times have you been in love? I am a very picky person, I choose who to love. I've been in a relationship three times, to be exact. All of the relationships I was into were a total failure and I think, I've wasted much of my time believing them to be the right one. I'm gonna focus on the third, who is a military officer. He's the only who had ever met my family. I introduced him to my family and my family gave me the green light. Long story short, the relationship didn't last. After all that happene...
