Mamutik Island

Hello :) I have decided to revive my blog by writing more posts in the future. I was very inactive in this blogosphere since 2 years ago just because my laptop went crazy. Anyway, I have many travelling stories to share so will try my best to write whenever I have free time or may be when I am stressed. Coz I can write better when I am under pressure or be more expressive whenever I have more thoughts running wild in my mind. I hope I am able to write well after not being active in writing/typing for quite sometime. Do excuse me and please feel free to correct me if there is any grammar mistakes, etc. What I gonna share here is solely based on my experience, my thoughts, what I heard/saw/ate and I love sharing pictures.

Alrighty! The first post of the year goes to ----> Mamutik Island :)

Mamutik Island is one of the touristy islands in Sabah. I was there for my Borneo expedition and earned myself an open water diving license. During my visit, the underwater visibility was not that clear. It could be due to the bad weather as it rained almost everyday in December. Still, I saw many beautiful creatures underwater. Here are some of the pictures. Enjoy!

Attended theory classes

We slept on a static basha for a week. We had a monitor lizard as our neighbor.

We love watching sunset. It was so beautiful and peaceful.

Heading to the next destination

Party hard. Study smart. Enjoy life.

Sometimes things may not go as smooth as you think.

Sometimes when things come, it may not the things that you have expected.

Sometimes things may not be the best, but who cares. Cherish!

After submitting my last assessment for this semester, I went to my friend’s graduation party right away. It was an awesome night with great hip hop music, food, drinks and best of all, the companion

Our main snacks. Western style!

Biscuits with tuna

Australian Football League (AFL)

Hi all, just noticed that I have not been blogging for a week. Life is getting busier right after finals. I could only use after midnight hours to blog which is extremely unhealthy. Well, here is a post about Australian Football League (AFL) that I attended long time ago.

I was in charged in photography during the night. Hence, this post would be blasted with many pictures, so bear with me!

Brisbane Lions is the famous football team in Queensland

That night, it was Brisbane Lions Versus North Melbourne

 

Our first stop was face-painting

Everyone has a chance to have their face painted with different type of “Brisbane Lions” symbols/pictures

The stadium was crowded

Some candid shots that I like

The only 2 ang moh who were willing to join us as a group for the event. They were friendly and kind.

The stadium

The rules are quite simple from what I heard from. If the ball strike the middle of the 2 poles (GOAL), they gain 6 points. If it strike on either side of the pole, 1 point gained.

Wanna win? You gotta play not only hard, but rough! It was really fun cheering with them especially when the game get more excited

The above pic was taken by Saachi, my friend. Personally, I quite like this pic

A group pic of us, with the Malaysia flag! So patriotic!

The empty stadium after the game!

Since it was empty, why not take some lame pictures?

Last but not least, it was a wonderful experience for me in watching a football match live.

Not to forget about learning the rules of playing was essential, so that it could be another topic of conversation I could start with people who like AFL. Isn’t it?

P/s: The blogger currently is very exhausted. Plenty of meetings to attend from different societies, few parties to go, and last but not least, travelling is a must for the blogger. Yes, she needs a gateway to somewhere else.
