Labuan Trip (30/8/2014 - 1/9/2014)

DAY 1

Reach Labuan
Early in the morning, we took the 8 a.m. ferry leaving for Labuan.
It took us 3 and half hours to travel from Jesselton Point, Kota Kinabalu to Labuan.
Although I have been travelling in boat before, I still vomitted because of the waves.
P/S: REMEMBER TO EAT MEDICINE before u on board! 

The Labuan Jetty

We rent a car and checked-in at Aifa Hotel which is in the town right after we arrived the jetty.
At the Aifa Hotel, we were given some brochures about Labuan.
Their service are really great!

Batu Manikar Beach
There is a very great sunset view at this beach. (One of the tourism attractions) The scenery is damn beautiful! Unfortunately, we did not manage to enjoy the sunset due to the time factor. Though, the scene is still amazing!

Japanese Surrender Point 
It is a place whereby the Japanese army surrendered during the war.
Walk up to the small hill, u can see a great view of Batu Manikar Beach!
 It was a very great place for photo shooting!!

Peace Park
Near to the Japanese Surrender Point, Peace Park is there! It is a great place for photo shooting.
We took a lot of pictures and videos here!!! 

Dinner
We were having our dinner at one of the restaurants in the town. Crabs~~ My favourite!!

Besides, we also went a walk at Labuan Square.

 Due to Malaysia Independence Day, there were a lot of people there waiting for count down.

DAY 2

Marine Museum
The Labuan Marine Museum is at Jalan Merdeka. Although there are not many species of fishes here, still it is decorated nicely and well-arranged.

Labuan Museum
We can know a lot about the cultures and histories about Labuan from the war era untul nowadays!

The Chimney

Bird Park

Water Village
A kampung girl meets water village for the first time!!

Best souvenirs - chocolates
Chocolates and alcohols are really cheap here.
However, I just bought some chocolates for my friends and family.. hahaha

Anjung Ketam

We were having our seafood dinner at Anjung Ketam, the third stall. The orange juice are fresh orange juice, not from the bottle. All the seafood are fresh caught from the sea in the morning and all sold out at night time. We need to go there earlier to book for the seafood. Everything tasted nice! I want to go there once for food again! 

DAY 3

Going home
There are two shifts of ferry to Kota Kinabalu there -  8 a.m. and 1 p.m. We chose the 1 p.m. because we do not want to rush for the ferry. There were many people in the departure hall and it was crowded at the imigration section.
P/S: Alcohol is just limited to 1 litre!!! 

If you travel according to the brochure, your journey to go around Labuan is just approximate 40 kilometers.
Do not worry being there because there are many sign boards (in Malay language) which can show you where you want.

Sketch Competition - Cinta... Oh! Cinta..

The sketch competition for Malaysia Independence Month was organised in our campus yesterday (25 Aug 2014). It was glad that everyone of us contribute much in this sketch competition. The story is humour and meaningful. There are a lot of humourous jokes in the scripts and well-carried out by all the actors. We might not be the winner but at least we are the winner of my heart! I enjoy the process of preparing the props and staging. Although there were some props went missing during the sketch, still we have a great moment!

A day with Dr. Bridget Lim

A lecture by Dr. Bridget Lim, a lecturer from IPG Tawau. She taught us about Phonetics and Phonology on the 11/8/2014.

Her session is fun and everyone seems to be very active in involving her lecture. Her style of giving lecture and learning Phonetics and Phonology is inspiring. 

Hope she could give us another lecture agin in the future time.

Whole Beijing Roasted Duck - Eat Full Full

Last Sunday, my gor gor, jie jie and I went to City Mall, Sabah to have a whole beijing roasted duck set as dinner. 

It was very cheap and three of us eat until very full. We sat there and have our meal for almost two hours. 

All the dishes are super nice! I love and enjoy having dinner and chat with them.

Nice days come when I get closer to them.

I love my gor gor and jie jie. 

~Whole Beijing roasted duck~

~Brother, Leslie; sister, Cyndy; and me~

~I am naughty! Yeah!~

In fact, Sabah is a very nice place to live... I just miss home.. haha.. 

I love this place as the air is clean and there are a lot of places to travel and have food.

Although the price could be slightly expensive, still it is valuable as the serving is larger.

PS: For those who have never come to Sabah, please dont't judge.

Hari Raya Celebration 2014

It was on last saturday where we are having raya celebration at our campus. 

Although not everyone was around on that day, at least most of us are here. This was the first time our class having group photo initiatively. Delicious food and well-prepared performances were on the day. Cheerish and happiness spread around and I was fully immersed in that such harmony and happy environment. Thanks God for giving me a chance to celebrate Hari Ray Aidilfitri in such a nice place. 

~Naughty Ken, Toh Tieh, Sze Miin and Vanessa is at the back by shock..haha~

Before the day, we were having decoration for our stall for the next day celebration. 

We decorated our stall with the fullness of heart and ideas.

 I felt great to do this for the first time. 

I enjoyed doing these things as I could see how other people make their ideas flow. 

It was a joy for me to see a great success done by cooperation. 

Although our stall did not get any reward, in my deep heart, we are the best as we have given the best out of the best! 

We are the best!

~I drew this smiley to Dorina hope her smile will influence more people~

Dorina - my singing K partner. She is my bff. Haha... Although we are from different states, different backgrounds and different religions, we have same interest!
