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. It grips well to the fit and do not slipped easily. This is one of the important feature for climbing. Except that it did not has proper soles. Anyway, Alhamdulillah we managed.


Approaching the island. Look at the crystal clear water. Astonishing.

The jetty.

There is a strict rules on the number of visitor to be on the island at any one time. It requires some kind of permit. All are arranged and sorted out by our ground operator. This is one thing that i like employing an agent to travel. Everything has been taken care off, we only need to sit back, relax and enjoy.

The climb to the top is not an easy game. It requires your physical strength and good health. It is clearly climbing up a rough terrain. As my truly other is having a knee pain, we struggled our way up. Alas ... we reached the top. The top was just a small flat surface. Well fenced with the rope to avoid from falling. It is a worth climb when seeing the open sea beneath it. 


The magnificent view

 After Bohey Dulang, we were brought to few other island. If you are lucky, you will be able to see the turtle roaming freely. The fishes are of various colours. The corals, are such a wonderful sightings.

Forgot to mention that we have checked-out from the hotel before the trip as we are going back home today. Coming back to the land, the guide has booked us a small motel to shower and perform the solat before heading to the Tawau airport to return to KUL.

It was indeed a very memorable travel. Everybody was talking about a repeat to this beautiful gem.

Asrama K.Ngah at MITST Alam Impian

Assalamualaikum. Asrama? Biasalah. Ramai yang pergi asrama. Nothing exciting about asrama. When I was a child, I used to read the story books. Series of them. We have the Famous Five, Secret Seven, Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and one of my favorite is the Malory Towers. Malory Towers tells a story about life in a boarding school. It is also a reason for me wanted to go to a hostel. It motivates me. I always thought that all hostels are as envisioned by the writer. Luxury place to stay with lots of friends around. Full of activities and adventure. But...well.... story books are mostly fictitious. It was written to draw readers into purchasing it. My hostel was far worst that what I imagined. But there is where I grew up - my teenage life. Sending K.Ngah aka. Sabrina to her hostel last Sunday, brought back the Malory Towers into me. The dorm was luxurios. Single bedded. Six in a room. Large closet. Plenty of storage space (drawers attached to the bottom of the bed). And a study

Antara Anyer dan Jakarta

"Antara Anyer dan Jakarta" was a title of a song sang by Sheila Majid back in 80s. I tried to find the meaning of "Anyer" using the Google translate but to no avail. What about the song? Nothing. It's just because I just came back from Jakarta for a conference trip cum SHOPPING trip. I was accompanied by Suzana Ahmad and Norizan. Day 1: ====== Our journey began on 12th December. At approximately 5am, the driver reached my house. Izan is already there, in a short while Suzana arrived. We headed to KLIA. The check-in was a winding queue. After checking-in it leaves us with barely enough time for fajr prayer. At 9am, the tree stooges sat foot on the Indonesia land. We make a quick visit to the money changer and proceed for a cab. We have planned for the trip carefully and agreed to travel light as we will not be checking-in to the hotel upon arrival as the checking in time is only at 3pm. Instead, we headed towards our first destination, TANAH ABANG. It is r

Doa ketika ternampak orang sakit dan mohon terhindar darinya.

Assalamualaikum, Ahad malam Isnin. Malam yang sedih sayu. Biasanya hari Ahad, adalah hari ziarah anak-anak atau hari menghantar anak-anak balik ke asrama. Upon doing that, when entering the home, I can feel the emptiness. The quiet house, no greetings, no laughters. And due to that, I will make my way to the surau, to gather bits of pearl of knowledge. "O Allah, forgive me if the reason for my being in Your masjid is wrong Forgive me, Ya Allah. But truthfully, its too quiet at home, and to me, being in the masjid is more meaningful rather than locked in the empty house alone. Forgive me Ya Allah." And tonight, it was Ustaz Firdaus. Sharing on Feqah. And one thing that I really think fruitful to share is this piece of doa.  ‘Alhamdulillah hillazi aafani mim mabtalaka bihi wa fadhalaani ala kaseerim mimman khalaqa tafdheela.” The Prophet said: “If somebody recites this dua while he saw someone else in some fatigue or tensions, he would not be involved in t
