Laguna Redang, 10th year visit

Before anything, we already have plans to return this year. We've been coming back here since we first got married (before Yusuf).

This year, Safiyya is old enough to appreciate the pool and beach sand. She and Ali Imran are not the swimming in the ocean getting soaked type. Yusuf is already snorkeling. I am still terrified of fish.

I could have sworn the same fish had been trolling me for years. According to Shu, it's a Parrot Fish. Doesn't matter what it's called, it scares me every damn time I'm in the water.

The island just opened after being closed during the monsoon season. I was desperate to get out in the sun because city life was really pushing me back into depression and I do not miss being depressed.

It rained one time but I never realized how happy I was getting soaked in the rain. I used to run in the rain and being in the rain by the beach was awesome.

The next day, the weather started picking up. That was great 😊

I know that now is the time when people have so much to say

But I just want to talk about how much I love snakes because they are so cute. I keep falling in love everytime I see them and they make me so happy.

We recently ended up in Malacca because we were so sick of hanging around the city. Shu asked what our plan was and I had no plans so yeah.........

It was awesome and wholesome.

We ended up at the Malacca Butterfly and Reptiles Sanctuary in Ayer Keroh. We saw butterfly eggs.The kids fed the koi fish and guppies. We saw American Alligators being fed. We saw Emu eggs and crocodile eggs. We played with a 5-year old ball python.

They had an Anaconda! I am terrified of Anacondas! They have the cutest kingsnake and rat snake ever!

My personal favourite is the red-tailed rat snake. I spent time just looking at the babies and they were calling to me.

Was talking to the caretaker named Mr Rizal (I think that was his name) about snakes and feeding them and taking care of them and he was recommending either the kingsnake or the rat snake or even the ball python coz they don't grow too big. I don't have a problem with feeding live animals to these predators because that's their nature.My only concern would be keeping a steady temperature for their living spaces.

I have been thinking about getting a pet snake forever. I was thinking of the cornsnake because they are so cute.

Oh yeah!We saw the poison dart frog.It is so cute that you just wanna kiss it and take it home! (And then die of poison)

Anyways,I'll post up pictures later coz they're in my phone ^_^

In Another Life

I think I have found my new spirit animal

The thing about social media.........

It's one thing to have a social media account. It's a whole other story to commenting or thinking that by saying something you are participating in something. It's alright to just observe,really. And only say something that would or could help with progress or development within a certain topic. I find that there are some who just loves to hate on people. Maybe it helps them get by their shortcomings.

I am more annoyed of those who pry. Insinuating certain negative thoughts but not wanting to be direct about them. If you have a problem,you should resolve them.If the problem is with other people having the time and money to do things or go to places that you want to go but can't,it's a problem you have with yourself.

What ever people spend their money and time on is entirely their rights to do so.How much money spent is also their rights.The more you say shit like "Oh,you can afford that,unlike me or the rest of us....." Well,here's a reality check for you.Yes,we can afford it.Yes,we decided to do it.What ever you have to say will not change anything,really.

Here's a tip,though.......Save Up.I don't know what you spend your money and time on most of your days but I honestly don't care.

What ever I want to post about anything that I do is my right. You can hate on it and get all upset about not being able to go or do what I do.It's not going to make any difference at all.

I like to spend my time finding ways to do what I want to do next and how to do it.If I see someone with a big house,I'm only interested to know how that person is able to get there.I'm not gonna sit around gossiping and speculating about how that person is able to afford things.It's a waste of time.

Shu and I were talking about all the bullshit around us

Let's start with fucking activists who doesn't understand what being an activist is about. You have a cause. Most of the time it's a good cause. But not everyone is on the same boat coz we have different point of views. That's not what pisses me off though. It's when you get us stuck in one of your speaches and then when we don't support you coz we have our reasons, suddenly you give us shade. Seriously bitch?!

I was harassed for about a month by Greenpeace. They talk to me about their cause and I am totally all for it. The moment I said I'm a stay at home mom and I'm not earning, the conversation cuts short. So it's actually not about the cause, it's about having fucking monthly salary so that you can fucking cut it on a monthly basis. Should I be wondering why this needs to be a continuous support money-wise? So spreading recycling cause or use less plastic is absolutely useless if you don't have a stable paycheck.

Later on, another group approached us. I mistook them for UNICEF. It turns out they are for child refugees. Sign the petition? OK. No monthly paychecks? Oh we cannot be friends.

I told Shu that I'mma be flaunting all of my high-end shit and shopping bags in my fucking expensive shades and tell them I can't help them coz I am not earning. Sorry 🙄

Get your fucking perspectives and priorities right.

Sea Life Malaysia

A lot of people who aren't interested in sea life would never appreciate these places. Yes, it's like the Sea Life Sydney we went to years ago. The creatures are different. I mean typically if you go down under you'd want to take a close look at a bullshark coz they are locals there.

We saw a variety of seahorses. Black tip reef sharks are very common in Malaysian waters. I first saw one when Shu and I went snorkeling. I was scared shitless and ran on water.

But I was swimming with ginormous white tip reef sharks at Sea World Gold Coast last year. They were huge!
