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...

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...

My passion, my journey

Some people are very lucky to live their dreams earlier than expected, some people not. I guess I'm one of those who have to undergo series of trials before I can actually say I'm on a stable state. Here, I'm talking about my dream, or better say, my passion? My Mom has always been the biggest supporter for me to become a teacher. My Dad has never specified what he wanted me to be since I was a kid. Well, he was and is a very busy man. When I was young, I always dreamt of becoming a banker, or anything to do with numbers. Back when I was in primary school, I remember I told my teachers that I wanted to be a bank officer (pegawai bank). As I grew up learning, I found my interest in accountancy. Hence, when I was in secondary school, I wished to become an accountant. I always performed well for English paper during exams. My English teacher always said that I could be a good English teacher like him too. I said, I didn't want to become a teacher. I wanted to be an a...

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...

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...

A new start

I used to be blogging a lot back during my undergraduate years. Ever since graduation, I rarely update my blog anymore. And due to technology, mobile-friendly apps, I was no longer attached to a laptop like I used to. I always posted that I would make a new start, but never happened. Until a moment where I was thinking about putting all of my thoughts again into something beneficial or useful for anyone especially me, because sometimes I look back in the past for things I have done as part of my self-improvement. Opening back my old blog, but I did not have the feeling of continuing it. A lot of effort made in terms of customizing the layout, choice of blog names and many others. Everything turned out to be uninteresting. Maybe it is due to my old blog posts that I think I need to remove all of them so that I can make a fresh start. However, I do not think it is a good choice to make. I love to read back things I wrote in the past. I can see how I have improved in terms of writin...
