Skies of Langkawi, Malaysia

Worth our overpriced public holiday airfare..

Langkawi, Malaysia :)

Stayed at Tanjung Rhu Resort in the North..

As I entered into our room.. I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled..

Because it was me who chose this resort..

And I loved it! And so did my friends! :)

Rented a car and drove to the public beach..

To watch the sunset and life after that..

Up in a cable car.. Another day of sunblock and sweat..

Sky Cab and gorgeous coloured waters..

To the Sky Bridge over the mountains.. Which was under renovation on one side..

Damn! Not prepared at all for this 400m uphill and downhill jungle walk..

To reach the open side of the Sky Bridge..

And oh.. I was holding on to the railing because I was scared of the height! :)

But still sat on the transparent glass floor and pretended I was not.. :P

At least.. It was worth the sweat and shaking legs!

To the Eagle Park.. To the Eagle Park..

I seriously thought we were going to see real eagles!!

Back at the resort in time for the beautiful sunset..

And you know what's so amazing?!

Everyday at around sunset during low tide for about 2 hours.. A sand bar appears in the middle of the sea and creates a path that leads to the rock cliffs..

And what about sunrise?

The same amazing story! ;)

Great White Shark Cage Diving in South Africa

Do not be misled by how they call it.. We did not really dive!

In Gansbaai, South Africa.. at the Atlantic Ocean..

We wore wet suits to be protected from the cold..

Held on to the railings really tight when taking pictures.. Because no one would ever want to accidentally slip into that water..

7 people at a time.. Got down inside a cage attached to the side of the catamaran..

Put on our masks.. And yes.. I know! I look so funny!! :)

Waited for the guide to shout.. "Down to your left!" "Down to the middle!" "Stay down!"

Sucked in all the air we could and submersed into the water..

Felt like I was just dreaming.. Really.. the Great White Sharks!!

Floated our heads back up to quickly breathe.. and back into the water..

No oxygen tanks involved.. No diver's license needed ;)

We were in the cage for about 15 to 20 minutes at a time.. taking turns as there were 28 of us..

We could keep going back into the cage for as many times as we wanted..

I got in 3 times.. and stopped just because I got exhausted from holding my breath..

Must have been at least 7 sharks teased with a seal decoy and some meat..

And if you're wondering if I was scared..

Inside the cage, there were yellow railings.. and we had to make sure all our body parts were inside those..

Sounds easy? No.. because under the water.. my legs floated freely.. so I had to constantly check where they were..

I was not scared of the sharks because I knew they could not get into the cage..

But I was scared of accidentally feeding them my dangling legs! :)

Fullerton Hotel and Bits of Singapore That I Love

I came to Singapore 10 years ago thinking I would leave this country after 2 years.

But I am still here.. still appreciating it.. still loving it. 

This is where I feel completely free..

To be who I really am..

To do what I want to do..

And to just be my happy me..

This is where I found love..

Or where love found me..

And he took all these amazing pictures! :)

How time flies..

It was just 40.. and now 50 years old!

Beautiful under the sun..

And gorgeous under the moon..

This is just a little part of Singapore..

There is more to love.. :)
