Sea of Angels Pulau Mamutik is the smallest island among the five islands cluster grouped under Tunku Abdul Rahman Islands (Marine) Park. And it’s also the least crowded island in the group. But during public holidays and weekends you can forget about having the beach all to yourself.

Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On Oui! Aquarelle. Let’s talk about camera, the D-SLR type. Now and then, it does give rise to an illusory image in a shot-visual. When it does, it drives me into a psychotic tailspin. Wait a minute! I’ve got to get a hold of myself. Ahhh….. such is life’s big [...]

Going Japanese Semporna on the cheap. Then you get a bland, plain and simple scenery. It does pay to be rich, you know.

Sweet Dreams Are Made of This It would, indeed, have been a “Dream Paradise” had the beach been taken more care of and cow poops are nowhere to be in sight. This resort has fallen by the wayside. A dream that failed to come true.

Kamikaze! The Divine Wind To say I was shell-shocked is to put it lightly. But stunned I truly was by the sight of the Kamikaze’s suicidal mission. But it was fun and hilarious to watch the Kamikaze diving into the sea to catch its prey.
