4D3N Kota Kinabalu, Sabah - Day 2

The next morning before we started our island trip, we had hotel breakfast. It wasn't a buffet, but there is availability of set of meals provided. The music played in the hotel has caused me indulging in romantic atmosphere. A great approach to customers :) ahha

Our set meals


Jesselton Point, is the ferry terminal for Islands. It is only a few minutes drive from town, was really convenient for all the tourists. When you stepped in the hall to purchase tickets, all the competitors started to shout for your attention to their counters.

After consideration, we decided to go for 2 islands - Pulau Gaya and Pulau Sapi (Pulau Manukan, Pulau Sulug & Pulau Manutik as other choices).

Diving and snookering are both common activities for sea lovers. In short, Pulau Gaya was for jungle trekking, Pulau Sapi for corals viewing, and Pulau Manutik for fishes.

The sea was getting clearer and cleaner when we were fetched to the respective islands. The first stop was in Pulau Manutik, due to some tourists chose for this.

Recommendation: It was recommended to go for Pulau Manutik and Pulau Sapi. Pulau Gaya was kind of deserted place whereas no much people chose to go there (even though it was the largest among all)

Even though we were just sitting in the boat, we could see small fishes so clearly under the sea.

Definitely, we also hunted for food. We were shocked of the seafood price. Generally, we thought that seafood in Sabah should be cheap. In fact, we weren't able to get cheap seafood in KK. Due to so much hunger, we tried Port View Seafood Restaurant because it was nearer to our place.

The food was promising, but it costed around RM80 for this meal. If you plan to order for fresh seafood, it costs even higher. You really need to think twice before order or choose other seafood restaurant located out of the town.

As for our dinner, we settled down in a food court. But, the food court belongs to 4 seafood restaurants. When you stepped into it, you got no way out. All of them were so friendly pushing you to place an order to their food. We chose Old Village Seafood Restaurant.

Tips: You could notice all of the hawker centre, cafe or restaurants, they will place chili sauce on the table.

I can guarantee all the seafood there are fresh. They put all the aquariums or tanks outside their restaurants for eaters to choose, and make the order immediately. After that, they only take the seafood lively from the tank.




Day 2 ended.

Next episode will be....green-ish exploration :P

Recently learnt about emotion triangle, it said human tends to suppress core emotion, and manifested as either a defense or inhibitory emotion. The emotion that we tends to inhibit are shame, guilt ... There are fear and inferiority that governs my heart - I have to learn to address and admit my feelings better, and make a decision to communicate or set a boundary. It is hard to actually do so, and I know after I have done it - I can sense my guilt and shame. It is like a vicious cycle.  I have to make a promise to myself - be mindful, be steady and let my head clears. Don't react much...But at the same times I am glad that I did say something. I did express myself. I did feeling less intense. I treated it as a progress.  Anyway I felt sorry of the people that I hurt - when I am still a human with sin...

Full stop is not a Stop

My study has come to the full stop. After the submission of my final year project, I thought I will be delighted, yet I wasn't. I was apathetic. No more motivation to complete it, I already forgotten my achievement goals, I have given up. During the phase of life, I felt Life is just ain't about perfection. Imperfection in life is the essence of our growth. In order to grow, old proverb saying "no pain, no gain", it indeed applies to everyone of us. Being through thick and thin, sweat and tears, I started to realise that adaptation to sudden change is incredibly important. For instance, we have a goal to get a First Class Honour in our degree program, but our result speaks no to us. Is it show that we are stupid? Nope, it only tells us that it is a piece of paper which might granted us to obtain better job, yet which class you get is not the guarantee to get a better job. The end of college life, is the start of _______ life. People will fill in the blank themselves....
