Last month, my parents and siblings came visiting us here in Tawau. We were so happy to have them here (kecoh satu rumah when we be surounded with my family). My little prince punye la excited, gelak jer sepanjang masa. Tetiba jer dikelilingi ramai orang. so cute...
We went to Pulau mabul n kapalai, one of the most beautiful islands in Sabah. We took about 45minutes to get there by speedboat from jetty at Semporna. But we were in for a surprise when the tour guide told us that the ticket cost rm100 per pax. We didn’t expect it would be that expensive! Luckily my beloved father wanted to pay for the boat. So my hubby dearest only pay for the accommodation. (Fuhh, save budget!)
Looking down into the waters from the jetty, we could see lots and lots of corals and fishes! I am not a good photographer.. huhuhu...so what you see here actually looks much better in reality.
Kapalai is a great dive spot for watching many creatures. Here, the view diversity of small creatures is really incredible. We can see many backpackers came here for diving trip. But we only go for snorkeling since none of us have license to dive.
We were the only group wearing safety jacket while snorkeling.. (agak malu gak ar..)
We only been there for 2 days and have already fallen in love with the place. I will inform and advise all my mates to go there as well. By the way, thank you to Boy, our tour guide for making this a very good time. (for sure lepas ni kami datang bawak geng lain plak)
After we returned to Semporna, we went to the Restaurant at Kg.Tampi-Tampi for lunch. (here was the place that Duyung film been shoot). What a lovely place. (Puas kami mentekedarah lobster & ketam segar).
We caught the fresh lobsters and crabs by ourselves.
In 5 hours, my family would be at Tawau Airport waiting for their flight to KLIA. And the very next day, I would be at home with my little prince while my hubby dearest back to work as usual.I really think I could cry. (sekejap sangat masa berlalu!)
