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.

Desa Dairy Farm and The Magnificent Mount Kinabalu

I should have chosen the best photo, but the internet speed won't allow me at the moment. My friend, Jue The gelato ice cream I'm a nature lover. I love watching sunset, sunrise, mountains, oceans and beaches. Not to forget that I love greens. In short, anything to do with nature, I'm a full supporter. As a civilian who works from Mondays through Fridays, having a Public Holiday on Friday means the world to me. It is like having such a long weekend! Here's the story. It was an unplanned trip with my Sarawakian friend who currently works in Kota Kinabalu. She is Jue, who planned all this. At first, she just asked me if whether I'm free on that particular weekend. I said, I'm free and there you go. For any plans she planned, I simply said yes to her. It was on 31st March 2018 (Saturday) that Jue and her two other colleagues brought me for a road trip stretching from Kundasang to Kudat for the whole weekend. I can't recall for how ma...

Social Media detox

A week ago, I had deactivated all my social media (personal acounts) temporarily. I think this is quite good for my self-motivation.  Social media detox is good if you think you are so overwhelmed with whatever people or friends post on their accounts. Not beause feel envious, but it's good to get away from worldly matters and sickness.  I chose to deactivate my accounts because I felt bad about myself at that time. I mean, everything I saw was really not valuable. I had wasted my time seeing posts that are really unnecessary for me. This has taught me about myself too, that I should also not post anything unnecessary.  I will do this more often soon. At least once in a month. It's not that hard. Just spend one week away from SocMed, your life would be free from any negative thoughts/matters.  This is sooooo good. I feel good.

Happy New Year and still single

Here I am, again. After such a long idle. Well, basically I have been very busy with my own stuff and things. Even during my ample time, I prefer to be getting lazy and wallowed. Here's the thing. The thing I wanna talk about which is my life, "being single". My life here in Kota Kinabalu is very simple. I live away from my family, initially my hometown, Sandakan. I do have friends here and most of them are married. Those who are still single do not really spend time mingle being single with me. They also have plans with their usual co-partner. Me? Always alone on weekends. Doing my own stuff and getting things like housechores done as planned. Sometimes not done at all. Well, sometimes my bro would call me to hangout with my nephew and s-i-l but it's not like every week. My other friends do not really always ask me out either. On certain occassions, yes they would. But I'm talking about the regular weekends. All I do is this and that. Watching Netflix lik...
