after volleyball :(

recently i went volleyball with my bro's gang twice a week.....is a painful sport.....always have bruise on my hand after playing.....just because i haven't master the correct skill.....and yesterday is the most terrible session......the most OBVIOUS result after volleyball......no idea how it happens.....suddenly saw my right hand swollen.....pain ah.....another pain is my fingernail.....broken when i try to block the ball....bleeding somemore.....super pain.....once i reached home, i quickly cut the broken fingernail, clean the dirt left on it....apply some oil and lastly wrap it with cotton bud.....well, i guess no one will get hurt this much after sport.....no skill at all....i think i am the only one who doesn't touch the ball much.....hahahhaa....firstly, the ball don't reach me....secondly, i don't manage to fight for the ball....thirdly, even i got the ball, i always hit to the wrong place (out of the court or the position that can't be save).....a sport that makes me sweat a lot.....joining the sport for more than a month, but i still so bad.....don't say dig ball, serve ball also cannot.....always din't over the court......what a shame!!!!!!!!!!!

Mataking Island~~~

After a night at semporna town, we joined a island tour to mataking island & a non-developed island called timba-timba island.. Surprise come one after another, after visiting so many islands here, i can conclude, besides dreaming of going maldives, why not pay a visit around tawau first?? Is not much different from maldives?? Maybe?? :P Can't do any comparison yet... till I visit maldives one day *day-dreaming*

almost reach mataking jetty

 welcome mataking island

blue blue sky & clear clear sea

 smooth sands

 walking around enjoying the sea wind under hot sun >.<

 the path linking mataking besar & mataking kecil

After few hours at mataking island, we proceed to timba-timba island.. According to the boatman, this island is still a non-developed island... will be developing in few years time *excuse for next trip again* :P This island is not in the tour actually.. Just because we still have a lot of time after mataking island, the boatman offers us here, we agreed without thinking twice... but when reach here, it looks scary right??? With no other tourist, a few local guys on the island, we are so brave here without thinking of the dangerous side...

 free birds flying in the blue sky

 can imagine a new resort will be build here.. i think it will be another tourist attraction after few years... looking forward to it :)

the place we syok sendiri for 1+ hours with a "private photographer" (the boatman).. LOL

Semporna~~

After sipadan island, we leave the resort back to jetty... We booked a room at Seafest hotel near jetty for a night before continue to another island the next day... Walked around semporna town, experiencing a non-busy city... What else to eat at sabah, of course seafood meal for lunch & dinner... A fattening trip :P

Sipadan Island~~~

Sipadan island wasn't in our planning at the beginning because of the expensive tour... So we decided to give up this beautiful island behind for the next trip *giving another excuse for re-visit* :D

But we are too lucky to be offered a cheap tour rate by the friendly boatman after we back from kapalai island... We accept the offer without thinking it twice because it is really a GOOD DEAL for this wonderful island...

When talking about sipadan island, the first thing come to mind will be diving... But too bad 3 of us don't know how to dive... Regret of not having a diving licence??!!! Oh nooooooo~~ we should be glad we don't have it... Just because of that, we are the only 3 going for snorkelling trip, only 3 of us travelling on the boat, so is like we booked the whole boat...

Kapalai Island~~~

After charging energy during lunch, we headed to next island~ KAPALAI ISLAND...

Wordless when we reached there, is really a nice & amazing place... peaceful & relaxing~~ Is really a good place to throw off all pressure & tiredness at concrete city... surrounded by sea... only one phrase to describe the place~ PICTURES SAY IT ALL :D

 3 beach beaches meant for 3 of us??? :P

imagine lying down, reading book facing celebes sea~

 resort at kapalai island~~ next staying place?? :P

Trip to Tawau~~~

Weeeeeeee~~~ Is travelling time again... A year after booking... Here comes the trip a.k.a visiting our housemate at her hometown... Can't remember when is the last time we gather but I guess not much changes on us :) After a "roller coaster" journey on the flight, we reached safely **relief**..

Now I know sabah's sun set earlier *sounds so kampung*.. LOL.. When we landed around 6pm, it was so dark like 7++pm at our side... Our tour guide a.k.a LMM picked us up and we went for a super freshy seafood dinner... Guess what???!!! 3 of us ordered 5 dishes & surprisingly we managed to finish it :P

1st dinner ~ delicious seafood *thumbs up*

1st breakfast ~ dry & soup noodle with minced meat, dumpling & porkball

After a nice sleep, we woke up quite early for breakfast before starting our road journey to jetty at semporna, need about 1+ hours from tawau town... Reached jetty around 8.30am, waiting for the boat to pick us up towards mabul island, the place where we will stayed for a night... 

grey-ish sky~

blue-ish sky~ almost reach!!! *excited*

Booked 2 rooms at Sipadan Water Village, though the resort named sipadan, it actually located at mabul island... This resort divided into 3 different wings~ sipadan, mabul & kapalai wing.. Because of out budget, we booked cheaper rooms... If NO budget then try to ask for sipadan wing rooms for nicer view (of course price will be nicer too) :D

 the place we will stay?? *starts to worry* because it looks like "too village" :P

 this looks much better... hahahhaha..

 our rooms~ MABUL 110 & MABUL 111~ nice number~

 from here *fair skin*, we starts our wonderful island trip~

 ~sea creatures~

the starfish looks like cookies with chocolate chips??? *sounds so hungry*
