::Artrageously Unique & Exotic ::

Bang, bang, BOOM... January swept me off with a broom.  Weather, why so gloom? I want to get out of this room. I thought the year just started? There you go time, the beginning month just ended.

Where's my soul, where's my song? Questions, I have been searching for the answer this long. I hope it shines, I hope it does. I want that diamond in the sky.

Skies and sunsets, I have that great obsession towards you.  I could lay on the grass starring at you the whole evening. I was in a good mood. And the thoughts of sharing it to my favourite #dreamrockateers #narmiadventures peeps and my favourite  Pinoy singer Christian Bautista from afar is  really something. Glad they like my view! :) Christian Bautista chose my picture in 3rd place! ;p

Three flavours to cool off Monday blues with Blackball  :) Cranberry, Milk tea and Green Tea

'Busy Bee' by Narmi keep playing in my head. This is so me. I could relate to that song. The connection through a song. Bang! It's just hit me. Up early for church and breakfast with the family. The busy bee in me always appreciate weekend like these..... Various dim sum choices and all Borneo Wild Treasure Restaurant at 88 Marketplace. What is supposed to be just drinks to quench this thirst of ours, ended up to be our late lunch. Party Play Lintas, I have missed you. The atmosphere somehow more relaxing and chill during this particular hour. Jazzy slow music, got my feet tapping on the floor without a dancing shoe. I was never a dancer, only a hopeful dreamer. Recollecting the last night I was there, I was performing in front of the crowds. Nervous wreck I am. But I've made it with spontaneity.  Enjoying every bits and bites. What's not to love ya? Oreo Milk Shake, Pink Lemonade and Lychee drink Teriyaki Chicken Hawaiian Pizza Choc...

Leafy greens and orange, I need to consume more of it, some times it is not about being skinny and losing weight, it is about maintaining a proper beauty skin care which leads to a more  healthy you.  I have chosen this. What is yours? :)

Gorgeous looking guy oh so fine, Honey can I make you mine? She loved it when you call her baby, Makes her feel like she is your lady. Too much inspiration on my mind, plain bored or just high on sugar? Whatever. :p                                  

It's another late night again.   I could fall asleep anytime, but I did not. This could go all night long, Sharing of music journey to be sung. Nick Davis is one great singer-songwriter, Hoping someday we'll meet & sing for fun together.   This chat on Skype did happened. Finally. ;)  

Late night movie with myself in my own comfort zone. How relaxing! Watching this one movie, makes me see life in a whole different perspective. With a whole lot individuals involved to that character. Love, no matter how strong it is, no matter how you see it in the future, if it's not yours, it was not in the first place. 'You don't always get what you want in life' Which is true. Even to the point of fighting for what is really worth it,  in the end you have to accept the fact that it's not meant to be. It's probably not fated.  No matter how much you want to see yourself as a good person, what a mistake does, is still a mistake. Acceptance is the only way. Remember that there is no such thing as perfect.   But to be just an ordinary good person is enough. :)  

Continuation from A day at an orchard in Tenom  Time to fill our tummy with late lunch in town after spending time in the orchard. I have always love some yummy Chinese food. Since I have been to Lagud Seberang's Taman Pertanian like twice and a famous Kopi Tenom's Factory, we decided to skipped it this time around.  For the very first time ever, I get to hold a crocodile. It was so huge, yes for real.  Except that it was a very tame one. May I introduced to you all my new friend called Ah Chong. It was a famous crocodile in that town who was born in the year of 1960. He loves cold water and fresh meat. And a pat on his skin too. On that day of our visit, Ah Chong gave me a smile while I went on snapping pictures of him. Hope to see you again 'Uncle Ah Chong'! :p So this wraps up my journey to Tenom :D

Continuation from Day trip to Tenom :) Had breakfast at a home-based kampung area in Inobong. Noodle soup and beancurd in a super early morning. I think I had too much. And may I say I had a fulfilling one.  We went to Tenom via the new Kimanis-Keningau road. I haven't been to Tenom for years. I think the last time I was there, it was my uncle's wedding. So yes, I'm using my off day this time to smell some fresh air and water, eating the almost out of season durians by the cooling stream. Fruits of love, a variety of it. My uncle's father in law has the ability for traditional weaving baskets. I would love to try and learn for I could see that this tradition will fade soon. And while we are at it, listening to his stories, I simply love the breath taking view of fish pond and padi field combined. Right at their backyard. Lovely day, I wished I have more green hands.   :)

Continuation from Daytrip to Kundasang & Tambunan (Pt.2) From Kundasang to Ranau town, enroute to Tambunan. We went to Mahua Waterfalls. It has been ages since my last visit here. Something has changed. For the better improvement. Unlike other waterfalls I have been, I simply love it how the trail goes by the boardwalk. And since my last time, the water runs faster that day than usual. Still a nice place just to chill and get some iced cold bath. I can feel the pleasure by just soaking my feet in there! So the next I'm planning on coming, I want to dip myself into the water much longer :D See what nature can do for someone on a weekend. It's love okay! :) Till the next travel post! :p  

Continuation from Daytrip to Kundasang & Tambunan Pt.1 When in Kundasang, never ever miss a visit to the Kundasang War Memorial located right at the heart of Pekan Kundasang. Always my favourite place to come to whenever I am there. It reminds me of little piece of overseas garden I've never stepped on before. I wished I had a beautiful garden just like it. As if I am in Australia for real. Oh me and my dreams.... With historical and luscious green combined, I do hope that this place remain it's beauty. Proper maintenance and with the help of the public, it will be there long for the future generation to come and see.  

From a tiny baby, you were there, together since I first started my blog post.   She was like as if an early birthday present for me back then but she was actually for my sister instead. Rain and sunshine through, playing games & little fun run, eating rambutan (her favourite) under the tree, and smile under a shelter of love. Ever so playful and princessy, you are half the breath of our lives. Promised myself that I won't leave your side till it was your last. And that was what I did With all your struggles to live even when you were already so weak. You are one strong dog, my always little puppy in my eyes. It broke my heart.  I don't know what I do without you. It was painful but letting you go won't make you suffer anymore. Losing a furry best friend will take sometime to heal. The last time I went through this, I was having a high fever for a week. Today, I hope I am stronger than before. I am trying my best to dry my tears. Farewell my pretty Bambi love, d...

Hours of wet weather,,  summer Kota Kinabalu has been poured with tear drops. Books of love, you have been completely ignored. I truly apologize for that.  For whatever reason, I just need some understanding.  I have tried my best, to put you to rest.  My body physically home, but my mind is anywhere but here.  

So many things to do, time is flying, I got to keep up with it too, I won't see it dying. Home bound with own cooking on a Sunday is the best :)

Early morning and breakfast the old school way. Spent the day at an orchard. Back to basic, smell the nature and you'll get lots of love and kisses from the mosquito. *giggles* Made friend with a crocodile and ending my day with a burp full from a decent Western food meal.  *smiles*

Was having a tea symphony at work earlier today, I should be reducing my caffeine intake but I could not resist much. I have stopped drinking strong coffee on daily basis though. But I had to today cause I find it soothing for my headache.  And boiled a warm chicken soup for myself too.

I have been an avid follower of Christian Bautista, one of my favourite Pinoy singer. I recalled the day I was live on air with him, calling one of Philippines radio station just to talk. It was a good feeling indeed. And after being on #TwitterPartyWithXtian for the second time now, I finally get a reply from him! Figured I should IG and blogged about it. ;p From the time he first started his career as a singer up until now.  Man, I love this guy more! ;)

Rarely it seems to be in it, supposedly appeared for a discussion with someone for a future work. Not sure what happened, I ended up with pop chat from my singing dentist friend. It's good that we can catch up from miles apart and talk something real behind what is going on in life and music.  This might caused a plane trip for a jam with the guys soon? Hmmm...

She survived a week, Another busy new year at work, Didn't suffer a heart wreck,  Prove I am not weak?

Someone went for a little shopping. Well it's more about need than want here. Time for some air walking? :p

Had lunch today with the man in my life, my daddy oh!  This 'nasi lalap' have nothing special to rave about.  Could have been better with having a better taste sambal but not. So no need to know where is this. *tongue's out* It's okay... Cheers for the weekend everyone! :)  

'Now you see, now you don't.' Opportunities come and go, just like friendship/ relationship, life and death. Perfect timing. Grab it while it last. Feels similar to doing a marathon on a shopping cart, with those discounts going on. The sun goes down, it will turned into dark skies. Let not those tears dampen your spirit, Shining hope of the earth will be back eventually.  You're coming to me sooner or later.   The way I see how life is, I always try my best to have that positive view.  

Strong sense doesn't fail me.  Figured out. Noticing the obvious.  My eyes are in disbelief, at the same time,  why am I not surprised as well? I am not in the picture. No, I am no longer in it. Am I even part of it? Should I care less or walked away and leave?  

I am a least morning person you will find.  Trust me when I say that cause you don't want my cranky bits to spill in your coffee or tea. But it does not mean I will be less of being 'honey and pancake' for breakfast.   Made a surprise breakfast for my parent's this morning. Things I would do for my loved ones. Because today is special.   

First chapter of 2013.  Why does it seems so surreal? Trying to wake up to let go of the past. Like eh, hello?  We have left it behind like a couple of hours ago.Ignore this sleepy head from the party last night. Had a glorious first day of the year by relaxing ! Oh wait, a squeeze in time for something productive too.
