Aloha !
Exams came and went, so basically it's all over. Well not quite, there's still an art paper to go for tomorrow, but that's an extra subject I took. Any way I'm here now, to blog about my very x2 AWESOME vacation to Sabah.


Last week's vacation at Tawau & Mabul Island, Sabah was fun x3 ! Though Tawau is kinda ulu, but there's this Cocoa factory there, and our visit to factory was knowledgeable and interesting. Mabul Island was the BEST, where we spent the night at Sipadan Water Village. We spun there by provided speed boat, full of enthusiasm we were way back then. We meaning by four of us, mom, dad, Kenneth and me myself included.

This is him before,

and moments later, haha typical.


Upon reaching, the first thing that hit us was the view. It wowed us, more than any thing at the moment. The view was, well not say to die for la, haha, but it's exceedingly beautiful, more than what we pictured it. Of course before the trip we did lounge through the brochures, it's just that we're not quite sure about it. Dad's friend booked it for us. So ya, our rooms are comfortable and it was build on top of the ocean. The atmosphere was very calm, relaxing and sound of the water flapping can be heard. The dining lounge was nice and it look extremely romantic at night.

View from our room.

There weren't much local tourist there, or was I wrong there seems to be 2 or 3 more families, besides the workers of course. Others were Japanese, Russians and so. Me and my brother did kayaking, weee ~. Mom was hesitating, cause she's afraid of the ocean. It was deep, 3 to 6 meters minimum, around the water village, and dad barely have any mood for a swim and kayaking. So which leaves most of the time it's just the both of us, me and Kenneth, enjoying the time of our lives. ^^

Snorkeling was fun, dad wanted us to experience scuba diving, but unfortunately the workers said we need permit for that. Nonetheless there's an unexpected guest while we were snorkeling, sea turtle. And there's this moment where my brother swam toward the sea turtle and touch it, and one of the life guard told my brother he'll get caught if the (i forgot) see you touch it. Then moving on he said, the turtle will not be seen again, since you touch it. But then the life guard sounds like he doesn't mind at all, cause he was astonished by the turtle's approach as well.

All in all it was a spectac, and this came from my parents said that there won't be any other family vacation till SPM's over. Screw it. Pictures taken under the water are currently with my dad, I'll see when I have the time to post them up. Nothing much actually, guess that's all, FULL STOP.
