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 mystery.

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

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.

Well, not quite twilight time, but close. Still counts, doesn’t it?
Sutera Harbour is a private resort in Kota Kinabalu. It “may” be out of your league. Still, if you can afford it. Why not?
The sea is free though. I hope…..,……….

A much neglected, under-rated & under-maintained park in Kota Kinabalu. But, in my humble opinion, it’s wild and yet still the best park in the whole of Sabah. It is, I think, the first public park in Kota Kinabalu and was built to commemorate the Royal Visit to Sabah by [...]

Officially, it was to be a Sunset Ceremony by the Malaysian Navy at the KK Esplanade, but the sky was already pitch dark when the ceremony took place. I wonder how the organisers arrived at the sunset time? Scientifically or by instinct? According to my photo time info it was around 7:15pm when the lowering [...]
