I’ve gotten 2 days off from work… The festive season is really taxing on us (the healthcare workers), so it is a much welcomed rest
As some of u knows, i love travelling! I like explorer new places and i think the excitement of seeing new things boils my blood.

Since i’ve gotten some time at hand and a new tablet conviniently next to me, what’s better that surfing for some new ideas for my next destination
Ps: for those stuck with ur jobs, kindly not to curse me ;p

I went to Korea back in April this year… Which has be a great trip. So i guess this time around, i should be a bit more conservative in my planning and pick a destination near home.

Last week, i happened to catch some snippets of travelling-guide programs on TLC Astro. And i think i have kindda hav my eye set on Sabah.

Borneo

Sabah, or Borneo.. As the TV commentator likened to refer as, sounds like a pretty interestin place to visit. I’ve been there once around 8 years ago for Mt.Kinabalu. (wow, it has been that long eh? I must have aged!) I could still vividly remember how enjoyable a trip that was.

Back then, i have visited quite a few tourist hotspots… Mt.KK, manukan island, poring hotspring… Just to name a few. But things seems to have changed for the better now. Well, maybe it was the way the TV trying hard to promote it, but it all seems very enticing

The highlights

Here’s some of the highlights i managed to googled.

(1) sapi island sea walking

Having the fun of diving without having the license! (i have a PADI license but it’s been 3 years since my last dive. So for my next dive, i gotta take the refreshment course if i go for another dive)

(2) via ferrata Mt.KK

This is a new addition to the climbers. Via ferrata means `iron road/path`… It is practically a climbing path on the sloppy side of the mount. Climbers will anchor themself to the metalic-wire construction and hang on to their dear life! Haha… Just my kind of adventure! Not for the faint of heart :p but trust me about the view and the experience… U haven’t really lived if u don’t dare yourself for it!

A sneak peak:

(3) sipadan… The pirate’s paradise… (excuse me for the joke) Sipadan indeed made headlines after the pirate kidnapping incident (that is certainly not laughing matters though.) However, it is a paradise and it is true to the letters. I couldn’t find another word to descripe it. Look at this pic and u’ll just understand:

And more!

Sabah is also offers a good variety of affortable seafood cuisine, a bountiful cultural encounterance, and more…

The verdict

with sandy beaches, underwater wonders waiting, it is a place hard to missed. Anyway, travelling is never fun without fun ppl around… So who’s coming? Hop on the band-wagon… I’ll get u on the next flight to infinity and beyond
