Sandakan, The Nature City of Sabah

On 25062012 (Monday). First time boarding a flight with AirAsia. Anxious !

Myself and Evanna at Terminal 2, KKIA.
About to fly off to Sandakan in AK 6096 :)

After our course ended, we grabbed the chance to stroll around the City. My loyal companions were Evanna Carolina Edward and Aaron Dennis Dasan. The first place we went was Sepilok. But too bad I left my handphone at my hotel room *face palm*.  Otherwise, you would be seeing some of our good old friends in photos :(

Being in Sandakan, I wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to visit the Agnes Keith House. Not only me, but also my two other friends. We rushed to that House from Sepilok but we were less lucky as we didn't get to buy the ticket. The counter was closed already !! :( So, we just took a look around the house and snapped some photos using Evanna's handphone.

We got ourselves a bit tired and we decided to have a good Tea Break at the English Tea House and Restaurant :)

We are Happy Kids !!

Friday (29062012) came and it's time to fly back to our HOMES, yay!!!!

Arrived and Checked In @ Sandakan Airport

Having our drinks before boarding

Overwhelmed. Thrilled. Jumped with joy. I had the Pilots, Crews and Passengers in the AK6097 AirAsia flight wishing me "Happy Birthday" while on board, on our way back to Kota Kinabalu. What a nice gesture !!! :))))

All smiled - who would not? :)

I got people wished me on my 30th Birthday while I was
35,000 feet in the air ~! Woot woooottt :))

To wrap this up, I would want to extend my gratitude to my Boss (es), my Husband Mr Jipanis Suali, my Son Brian Valerian, my colleagues and also to my cool friends while in Sandakan - Evanna Carolina Edward, Aaron Dennis Dasan, Romeo Leo Bojol, Salleh, Mazlan, Liza, Suriati and the list goes on :) We made our educational trip a great one !! :)

And SPECIAL THANKS to the Speaker from INTAN Sabah, Encik Farzi bin Ahmad - ko mimang champin !!! :)))

The BIG number of THREE and ZERO

After living for the past 29 years, I asked these questions to myself :- 

- What have I learned?
- What have I gained?
- Whom have I befriended with?
- Have I been an honest woman?
- Have I been faithful enough to my belief?
- Have I been a good person to everyone?
- Have I "played" too much?
- and the list goes on...


And  as I turned THIRTY today, I looked at myself in the mirror and have these thoughts in my mind :-

- Where do I stand now?
- Am I brilliant enough to reach 30?
- Am I a good employeee?
- Am I successful enough?
- Am I a GOOD WIFE and MOTHER ???
- Is is comfortable enough with what I have at the moment, I mean like, now??
- and, questions after questions..


Thus, I told my myself..

Calm down, no need to panic
Being 30 is not too bad
It's not as if you're ancient
So it shouldn't drive you mad :)

And.... 

In many ways you're actually
Considered in your prime
So if you want to live it up
Well now is a damn good time !! Woot woot !!! *wink

But, the most important thing now is that, I have set my own VISION and I also have lined-up all my missions to achieve my TARGET. Now, it's time to keep the ball rolling.

So, my brothers and sisters in Christ, keep on praying for me. Do not walk behind me or in front of me, but walk by my side :)

I AM NOT 30,
I AM STILL THE SWEET 17, BUT WITH 13 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE :)

MANY MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY DEAR MRS JAY SUALI !!

MAY OUR GOOD LORD WILL CONTINUE TO SHOWER HIS BLESSINGS UPON ME, MY HUSBAND, MY CHILD, MY FAMILY, MY FRIENDS AND ALL OF US. GOD IS GOOOOOOOD !!!!
