I feel great.

Just great to be alive and breathing for 31 years.

(^_^)

and for all the joy, happiness, bittersweet things in life that have abundantly been bestowed upon in various forms..with or without realizing it.

I should be thankful.

..and so.. i woke up today with this particular song ringing in my head.

i like the tune. ignore the lyrics.. :)

and enjoy the music.

i can feel the music in me.

cewah...

NOTHING ON YOU
( B.O.B feat. Bruno Mars)

O.K...I woke up in heaven today

She kissed me I floated away (away)

Never felt anything so great

Alright, now I brace myself for the fights

I’m light as a feather tonight

**Cause I can’t feel the ground

Someone let me down

I never felt so high as I do now

Its too good to be true

I don’t deserve you

I never felt a love strong enough to

Stop this world from spinning

Stop this world from spinning

And I see heaven when she looks at me

In her smile is the most amazing dream

And in her eyes I fall asleep

And I hope

Hope that she can see through the smoke

Of my imperfections into my soul

And my heart where she has control (she has control)

Happiness like this can never last (can never last)

Turns into the memories of the past (turns into the memories of the past)

??? (going just as fast)

for the Ne Yo fans out there..this is for you.

dont be bothered by the 'SHE' in the lyric..ladies.hehe..just turn it into a 'HE'

(^_^)

The other side of nc.

Some of my dear readers are, i'm sure, familiar with this little blog of mine.

If this is your first time stumbling upon this, then.. introducing to you, aNother blog of mine that i would like to file under the Creative Pursuit archive. :)

where.."Everything is created to show how inspirations and passion can turn a just-another-moment into something valuable and cherished. It's the thoughts that counts."

After a few months of posting and sharing this new passion, i think it is time to take it up into the next level.

Bringing front my initial mission when starting the blog.

What is it?

To contribute to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) Kota Kinabalu.

I love animals. 

I hate animal cruelty.

I guess this is one of the many ways we can help a cause. :) . .in our own way.

And so.. promotion time.heheh..

A ten percent of every transaction will be donated to SPCA KK. 

Small amount? Every cent is golden if we truly want to help.. right? 

And so..if ur interested, check out the blog. You will understand.

Whisper your dream now.

Promotional price will be limited until the end of August.

For fellow bloggers and friends, thank you very much for your support.

You're the best.

Where?

Where else? at our very own Lokawi Wildlife Park of course.

I've been to the park quite a few times..but have never EVER watched the Wild Borneo Animals Show. Have you? Then i'm sure you're amazed as me? hehe
One word that describe the Borneo wild animals : INTELLIGENT

Right, catch the show at 11.15 am or 3.30 pm everyday at the amphitheatre.
You might want to come early as the seats are always full.

Look at the crowd. I was with 80 students myself. There were also two groups of school-going children and a lot of foreign tourists. And THIS is during a WEEKDAY.

"O..ini biasa sja ni. Sikit sja ni" said the park staff. :)

I truly had fun. Watching the visitors having their rounds with the animals..entertaining.
One of my student LOSE in a game of ripping the coconut husk to Mowgli (a seven year old orang utan). Just look how happy one of the boys to hold the uLar SaWa and a tourist who got to be up, close and personal with a civet. Actually, sa pun mau p join bah, tpi, kasi chan yg muda2 dlu la..haha

One of my favourite is the parrot who raised the Malaysian flag. Gosh, aren't they intelligent?
But wait till you see the same parrot playing dead! Inda lagi mau bangun2 tu..sblm kena ketuk tu meja. The staff called the parrot to wake up but it only lifted its head up, kunun.

See the parrot? Playing dead after being 'shot' by the staff. So cute!

The first time i went to the park was during its soft opening in 2007. And a few more rounds in between. But the park has always something new to amaze people. Ruby the nocturnal tiger (forgive me, i dont really remember the name of the species, but she's the one near the birds cage at the entrance) is still there. I was happy yet sad at the same time. How would YOU feel living in captivity for the rest of your life? :( but on the bright side..they're well taken care of, and have a 'home'.
ANYWAY..sad stories aside.
The picture above shows a Binturong or a bearcat. kiut kn?
You will feel like hugging this one for sure. Besar tu..

Last but not least..hehe
A picture with a big reptile - not a favourite actually. I despise snake, especially ular sawa, since it makes me imagining how this harmless looking reptile is swallowing my helpless cats!! - everytime i see one. But then, just for the record. SNAP!
A picture of me, ular sawa, and an ex student of mine. Nice!

Entah, bleh kah nda this video. My first time uploading a video via blogspot.
It's the one where the parrot plays dead. Enjoy!

nc says: misti mau bawa satu family pgi tgk animal show next time. happiness gerenti. apalagi time tu burung terbang2 atas kepala..huhu..

What do you do when you miss someone, and there's NO other way to get to that person except for a 20 minutes hill -climbing to find a mobile connection - if the weather permits?

You have to walk uphill this one.

Would you do it?

Welcome to the remote jungle of Borneo.

Kuamut.

It is where my hubbi is stationed to work for more than 3years now.

Where every phone calls is precious and there's no way returning THAT call if you've missed iT.

Bored living in the city?

Fancy a four hours boat ride via the Kinabatangan river and watch wildlife along the way?

Then, this should be the place for you.

Though i haven't set my foot there yet, i do want to explore and experience myself the great Kinabatangan and Kuamut life. Don't you? The picture above are views of the Kuamut jetty where the water levels would rise and flood the village and school area during rainy season. In the meantime, it IS where everyone fishes and an alternative source of water (say.. when it doesn't rain for a few weeks?).

A view on top of the hill where everyone will go and make a call.

Mi hubbi says it keeps him fit and on the go (sebab slu naik bukit kn).

I really appreciate him for this. Sincerely. Since i have no way to get to him.

And if you're thinking of the journey coming home or going back there?

Get ready for a 3 hours bumpy and wet wet ride.

The Kuamut river. Pray that it doesn't rain, so the water level will not rise, and you get to cross - safely.

Come back home safely, mi dier - everytime.

God bless.
