Beautiful Sabah : Survivor Island

I was unofficially appointed to organize a short trip for the company. Thank you for having a friend who works in tourism industry, she was the mastermind in arranging everything. Since most of the staffs were so longing to have a beach vacation, we decided to pay visit to Survivor Island or locally known as Pulau Tiga Resort for 2 Days 1 Night.

Chalet for standard double/twin share bedroom

We actually wanted to rent the longhouse but it was not available temporary for renovation I was told. So, we were advised to take the standard chalet. Each chalet has either double/twin share bed, and few has triple share bed inside. It's spacious and fully equipped with air-cond/fan, attached bathroom and comfy bed. However, it is not well maintained because some of my friends were having problems with their room. I hope the island management will do something about that.

Buffet lunch

Upon arrival, we were greeted with glass of cold orange juice. Very refreshing after two hours journey by bus from Kota Kinabalu to Kuala Penyu Jetty and half an hour boat trip to the island. Thank God for the beautiful weather, I was worried in the morning since it has been raining the day before.

Ok, back to the trip itself. All meals are provided in buffet style. I have no complaint about the foods. ^^!

This is the TV room. We were allowed to watch TV while waiting for the clock to strike 2PM before going to the Mud Volcano.

And Ta-daaaaa... the most anticipated activity. Mud bathing! Euwww it was kind of scary to see the greenish mud. Well we don't know what might living beneath the mud, right? But most of my friends are so happy to slide around and apply the mud to their face, so I wouldn't want myself to be left behind. I later joined the 'buffaloes' after taking few photos. We spent almost two hours in the mud before heading back.

In the evening, we played volleyball.  A friendly match with the island crew. I quit early because my hands are both red and painful. We went to the jetty to enjoy the mesmerizing sunset! It's a must.

At night after dinner, we gathered at one of the chalet to play cards. ^^! You actually can choose either to watch TV at night, play table pool or singing in the karaoke room. Hehe muka gumbira semuanya.

The next day we went to the next resort under Sabah Park to survey and take a lot of pictures. Cantik kan?

One for the album!

I Just Can't Live A Lie

Online Bookstore

Have you ever purchase one?

Well, I did. Two weeks ago I bought books from a respective online bookstore. This is my second time dealing with them actually. The parcel should reached me by last Monday but it didn't. Thus, I checked on Pos Malaysia's website with the tracking code given to me.

Apparently, it was sent to the wrong recipient! I emailed the customer service and asked them to recheck my tracking code. They emailed me back saying that it was the Pos Laju fault and they even admitted it. I'm wondering, how can the parcel was sent to the wrong person if the address was written clearly? The bookstore said that it will take forever to deal with Pos Laju so they promised to send the books by courier this time, Kangaroo. They also provided me with the tracking number. So just now I checked on my parcel and..

It happened that, the number given cannot be found in the database. Sabar saja la!

Update: The parcel arrived double. Now I've to return one parcel to the bookstore. LOL!
