Contrary to the popular habits..this year i'm changing my venue of celebrating kaamatan!! This time..its Kudat..but not to its town..im having my free 3D2N stay in one of the farthest island in Kudat Water, Tigabu Island.

Kudat or known as The Tip of Borneo is about 2 hours and 42 minutes from Penampang Town (sometimes depends on the driver itself...haha..) It might take longer hours or shorter perhaps...whatever it is..my trip was quiet unexpected..at first I was just joking with Irwan, our WWF Marine Biologist whom based in Kudat about when will he take me for a visit to their area...and spontaneously he answer me..that i can go with him this weekend..

I admit I was quite reluctant at first considering that the weekend was the Kaamatan weekend, I never spent it outside of Penampang but make the story shorter I finally say yes to it. This trip was quite unbelieavable, ive done things that i never do before, ive met people that i never quite knew their existed and yeah, i think i finally got time to be just away from every thing that i think i need to be away for awhile.

We slept in the hut that was built on the sea. You can feel the breeze running through your face when you sleeping, You can smell the sea life as you watched those calm water, and you can hear the waves whisting towards the shore. The life in that island it just so minimum, as long as you have food and medicines, you live. their life seem so simple and part of me just envy them.

for the past three days, it has been a blast for me, but this time i didnt get to snorkel, the little red riding hood came visiting at the wrong time of the month. However, I do get to met a group of people that live in a sand bar and they do not have any citizenships. When i making funny remarks about a tv show, they just look at me blankly like their never see a tv or maybe they just understand what i'm saying because most of the people there say they dont...they always like refer me as the girl who spoke "Bahasa KK"...Hahaha..its the first time people actually say that to me...

| run baby! run to the blue sea! |
Bottom line, I have fun and I felt better. I should be thanking the Kudat team for bringing me there, I guess unexpected vacation sometimes better than those planned ones.
