This is a travel of few months ago, in the January of 2008, in my semester break. My second times to Sabah. I have a very great and unforgettable travel at the last time( January of 2007) with a group of university friends. I went to Tanjung Aru, Bukit Batang, Rasa Ria(Seaside), Manukan Island , hike up to Mountain Kinabalu, Poring and etc. This time i went back to Sabah and i visited to a few more beautiful places. And i bring along my DSLR and my sketching book. So for sure i will never leave out the chances to catch up some pretty landscape photographs for my personal album.
The sunset after raining at Tip of Borneo, Kudat. After 3 hours travel and pass through a long stony road, we are finally arrive TOB. But we have to stay under the shelter because of the heavy rains. Even we missed out the sunset, but the rains take us to another experience. This view is just right in front of us and the shelter. The sky is so beautiful every time. The horizon of the sea and the clean and clear atmosphere catch my eye most. The reflection of the sunlight on the surface of sea added some mystery for this view. I believe it will become my next topic when pasteling.
Stop for Tip of Borneo from our shelter.
I was at the Tip of Borneo.
Clean and peaceful atmosphere after the raining.
Dock of Kudat. The fisherman boats and the blue sky create a good combination with the far-away mountain as their background.
Seaside at Karamunai.
This is the another of my favorite collection. The cloudy blue-gray sky with sea and long long beach.
This is not for pasteling or special collection. We saw it when we're on the way back home from Karamunai. Rain and rainbow are my special loves.
This is Kuan &me. We were on a fast boat to Manukan Island. This is my small drawing travel. So for sure, i bring along my sketchbook and all the drawing materials with me.
We're very lucky because of the clear atmosphere, we saw Mount Kinabalu from the boat to Manukan.

The noontime and early morning of the seaside appear in opposite contrast. The first one is bright and strong.The second is smooth and calm. I always prefer the second spot to be my topic in drawing.For capture the emotion of morning sky, i intendly wake up early and choose to spend my morning at the seaside with my sketchbook.
It is so proud and never scare of stranger. This is also become my pastel's topic after i went back to Cyberjaya.
Drawing the bee with flowers at dining table when having breakfast with Kuan.
*Roses from Mesilau*
*Mount Kinabalu*
This is all taken from Mesilau.It is amazing,is it?Mount Kinabalu.When we can prove the pretty of Mount Kinabalu again in so close distance, we decide to hike the mountain again, but the next time we will hike through the Mesilau Trail. I like to mention here that the 10th picture from here to above is frying chicken's butt :|
*Took from inside the plane**Sunset, Mount Kinabalu, High Air*
My highest rating food at Sabah is fresh cook crabs, serve with chili padi.
The second sure is this, Coconut Puding. It is best eat in cold. I ate it when on the way back from Kudat to Kota Kinabalu.
And my last recommend is the red ubi from Mesilau. It is sweet and especially smell and taste good in BBQ.
