2nd visit to Mabul-Sipadan Jan 2010

We visited Mabul & Sipadan Island last month and it was really wonderful trip even thought it was just 2 days 2 nights of staying there. This is our 2nd times of visiting this Island. We were lucky this time because we got the chanced to visit Sipadan Island which required permit to enter. Only 150 visitors can get permit from Sabah Park to enter this Island. Even sometimes it difficult to get it from them because the popularity of this Island of diving spot.
As this time, not so many tourist visited this island because of the alert published by the American embassy.

Well I can see that there are nothing to worried. Its worth if you enjoy the marine life especially divers.
For me and my husband we did snorkeling and we saw a few turtles in the water and also beautiful fishes.
My kids were also saw a few turtle on the surface and that was really great experience for them to see real turtle in the sea. While we were on the boat, they keep on looking at the water to search for turtle.

So here are some photos I would like to share

Mabul Island

Well...here I am again, long time I did not update my blog due to our internet connection problem at home. After back from the Hospital on 22th, I was having cold fever for the past 2 days. Today and yesterday was good and getting better.

I was admitted to Hospital Likas on 20th Nov, just after we come back from Sipadan. I am having a minor operation called LLETZ (Large loop excision of the transformatio
n zone) due to my abnormal pap smear. The operation should be done on 14th Nov, but I asked the Doctor to postponed it to 20th. So whatever it is, better to detect it early than regret in the future.


Talking about our family holiday, yes..its very relaxing and enjoying. What we do just swimming, sleeping and eating. That really holiday right? :P. First day, my husband went diving and I have to take care of my 2 kids, they were so enjoying running and playing.

2nd day, in the afternoon, my husband's turn to take care of our kids and I will learn how to dive..hehehehehe. What make me so happy is I've done the "Discover Scuba Diving" course and went diving with my instructor. My first dive in my life. All you have to do is just relax and don't panic, breath as usual. It is not difficult as we thought. Got certificate some more.
First, I was given a lesson by the dive master at the swimming pool and she teached me the basic of diving inside the swimming pool than after an hour of lesson we went to the sea to see the Marin life. That was amazing and wonderful. I saw a lot of fishes and 2 turtles in the sea and "Nemo" too.
