SEMPORNA TRIP - DAY3

DAY 3 (DEC 2019) - BOHEY DULANG We were waiting for the cue from the land operator of our next trip. Whether it is going to be a Bohey Dulang or not. Why wait? Because they need to get the confirmation from the ranger whether it is safe to go there or not. Bohey Dulang is a hike. Hiking to the top to enjoy the magnificent view of the sea. However, the climb can be slippery though, especially if it rains the night before. We were lucky as the weather was just perfect. And we were able to take the climb. Make sure you have a proper gear with you. The sports shoe for the minimum. But we were only in our water shoes 😅 ... we didn't bring extra shoes. The water shoes works just fine.

Approaching the island. Look at the crystal clear water. Astonishing. The jetty. There is a strict rules on the number of visitor

Semporna - Jewel in the Eye - Family Trip : Day 1

 18 - 21 December 2019 This is a long overdue post. I would want to put it here as a remembrance to the beautiful moment we had together.  The trip was planned way ahead.

And it was already during our way out of the exhibition hall that we decided for this. It was ARBA Travel that attracted us. We booked for only the two of us, as the promoter was persuading us to grab the special offer. He claimed that we can still get the benefit of the Matta Fair offer if we decided to add more participants later. So we agreed. After comin

KRIUK ... KRIUK

 Assalamualaikum Just feeling like rambling again today. Anyway, who reads blog these days. Everyone has moved to Instagrams, TikTok .. less text to read. Only viewing and listening. I wonder whether it has any cognitive effect. Well .. time flies, the world has changed. It changed from the first day I started blogging, left the blog unattended and writing it again today. ==== Kriuk ... kriuk What could it be? By writing and reading, it creates one's own imagination. And it opens up to diverse interpretation. That's the beauty of writing and reading. My version of kriuk, kriuk is the symbolical sound of the joints in my physical body. Yes, I started to feel the tense in all the joints.  My rukuk, my sujood, my raise to i'tidal is never the same again.  It's a proof of the ages that I have passed. Not knowing how many more do I have. How hard I tried to stay fit and healthy, but Allah's design is beyond. In each of the happenings and creation is a sign for us to thin
