The Beginning

Everything must have a beginning. There is nothing that can magically appear out of nowhere. The world doesn't work that way unless of coz its god will but to think about it again, god doesn't interfere with human life. We are on our own to shape what we want and how we do it.

To tell you the truth, this is a beginning for me in terms of blogging and from what I understand I can write about anything I want. After giving it some thought, I most probably will write about my journey in life, what I see, what I think, where i go, U know the usual stuff when u go places. Hopefully some of U will find the information usefull just incase some of you decided to go to places I have been to and the best part is this I am giving this info for free. Think about all the money you could save just that remember to buy me a drink when you are here.

This is because from where I am, information about places is hard to find on the internet. I have been to Indonesia and I am lost. Very little information can be found on the internet since I am the type of person who like to prepare for my journey. Hopefully I can post enough details in here so that none of you will ever be lost like me again.

The picture above is Pulau Sipadan. Taken on the printed date. It was a year ago when tourist operators on the island is still operating. Now the island is closed to public. Government of Malaysia is trying to preserve the island from human activities since we human tend to destroy things. Its in our nature. The existing chalet will be demolish and new more enviromental friendly structure will be build. For the time being U cannot stay overnight on Sipadan Island but what U can do is dive around the Island and maybe take a rest on the Island although U are only allowed to stay on the beach.

I stayed there for 3 weeks. Its a small and beautifull island or should I say Island of Paradise. The thing that make Pulau Sipadan unique is the marine life. U can find all sort of marine life there and it is a heaven for divers. Unlike Pulau Mabul & Kapalai, Sipadan Island is cooler since its in open sea and cool breeze blowing all the time to the island so U can stay out in the sun longer and doesn't get sun burn. I was in Mabul once and most of the time I was trying to hide from the sun and was sweating like crazy. 1 hour on the island and I turned from brown to black. Its hot and I dont wish to go there anymore. As for Kapalai, its more like floating chalet. When the tide is high, all U can see is water so U just stay on wooden walkways or in your chalet. No sands = No fun.

Pulau Sipadan is going to be reopen soon. This time it will be under the supervision of Sabah Park I think. Hopefully I can go there again and stay there for a few more weeks. It is very relaxing since U are away from everywhere. No mobile phone coverage, no internet, no traffic jam, no annoying bosses and u know the rest but they have satelite phone and satelite tv there. Just that people cannot bother u with phone calls when U are there (I can call u but u cannot call me so dont bother me ok .. im on vacation).

I wish I could post more pictures but some genius technician decided to format my harddisk without 1st consulting me. Hopefully in my next blog I can tell you how to get to Pulau Sipadan since the journey is a bit challenging and require communication skills and of course money. See you later.
