My Sanctuary

I'm moving to a new apartment since end of last December and now I'm in the process of moving my stuff from my old apartment that I was renting with my cousin. Hopefully by the end of this month, everything would be settled. It's fun to have my own place. Even though I stayed there only for a week and I have to come back to Sabah and all I have in that house is a mattress and a laptop, it was nice to stay at my own place. I don't feel restricted and it feels more homey. :)

*the first few things in the house*
It is so exciting to decorate and choose whatever I want to do at the house the way I want it. Even though I have to consult my cousin because she is moving in with me, but since we have nearly the same idea on how we want the house to be it was not a problem. Only the living room is ready for now except for the fact that I have not move my tv. But I love it!

*the living room*
So the next thing to do is to repair some minor stuff, move my stuff from my old place and buy a little bit of everything within my budget to make it a better place. But believe it is gonna be the most chilled out place and comfy and so home sweet home.

Tawau, Sabah

This place is basically the place i grow up. Only until i was 13 years old before I moved with my family to Kota Kinabalu. So, since my parents and aunties are here, my dad bought me the plane ticket directly to here and since I haven't been back nearly a year, I thought it would be nice to be back home or "balik kampung".



I arrived around 10pm last night. Today woke up early had breakfast, Nasi Kuning. Must try when you're here in Tawau or Sabah basically. After breakfast we went to the family's orchard. I can't even remember when was the last time I was here. Its the fruiting season. Durians, rambutans and mangosteens. 




I hate durians, by the way. But it was fun to just be there and watch them eating all the fruits and actually go and harvest some of the fruits. Plus, I miss those times where us, kids play around here. Climbing trees for the fruits or just for fun. I can't really remember all the things we've done here. But I do remember I had so much fun. :)
