Alright, just right after i posted my first post, I went unplugged for a few days at the Tip Of Borneo, Kudat. well, that explains why i have been so quite since my first intro post.
In case you are wondering where this place is situated, it's basically at the northern most tip of Borneo, the 3rd largest island in the world.
There is a spot where I usually come back quite often for camping. Why? Simply becos it's beautiful , with almost private beach and watching the stars in the night is simply amazing on a clear sky.
In the morning, I always have my favorite breakfast, Robbie's Toast - trust me it's super delicious! and best of all having my breakfast overlooking the beach, what can i say - Awesome!

There are plenty of dogs around especially when you have food on your hand.
As we comr here pretty often, every time offers a different experience and I may just blog about it differently every time (if i do so that is :P ) .
And at times, we will go out to the Tip of Borneo, the famous Simpang Mengayau, means 'lingering junction' , is the meeting point of the South China Sea meets the Sulu seas. View is simply stunning! And have some food at the restaurant nearby.

The view you can get from one of the restaurant at the Tip of Borneo, you can tell it's a low tide :)
At night, when we are lucky with the weather, campfire is a definitely on our to do list after a good swim in the day time. And watching sunset, always a beauty.
And on a clear sky at night, you are definitely promised a million stars sky, where there are high chances you will see some shooting stars and looking out for the orion's belt.

In the morning, and at night, i usually like to do a short Yoga and Meditation session by the beach, which simply connects me back to self with Nature.
If you are not a fan of camping, fret not, as there are plenty of accommodation choices you can choose from. There are an abundance of bungalows around with basic facilities, some are fancier than the other, of cos the prices as well. And most of these bungalows are just few steps away from the beach.
There are a couple of ways to come to Kudat, by public transport, rent a car or even by bike if you prefer more adventure. There are some tour agency will bring you in as well but honestly speaking, i still prefer not to follow tour. It takes about 3 hours plus minus to get to Kudat, and it's definitely worth the trip if you are looking for a place away from the city and just wanna unplugged and chill by the beach.

Hope you had enjoy my short adventure this time in Kudat. Thank you for taking time for stopping by! Here's a short video edit with Quik.

Thank you for the nominations and yes.. thank you for helping to resteem it #ocd-resteem (err.. this is how is suppose to be use the tag? )
Hey the nomination is for the OCD Daily, not the resteem. This means if your post gets voted by other curators to be the top 10 of the day, it will appear in the OCD Daily which you can see in the @ocd account. If you enter the OCD Daily, you will get voted on as well.
The ocd-resteem tag is for you to use in the future whenever you write quality stuff and 3 posts will get resteemed a day. Those who get resteemed will get voted on as well, but this is a separate matter from this nomination hehe..
Alamak.. i mean Opss ! Thanks for explaining this, but I just change the tag to #ocd-resteem from #nature just now. Should i change it back? hopefully didnt create a mess haha.. If i may , how do u join this OCD daily? just go in and check it daily ?
Yea you can change it back to #nature.
OCD Daily is basically a compilation post for the top 10 posts. We have about 20 curators, if all of us nominate one post, then have to compete for the top 10 spot. Those top 10 will be featured in the compilation post called OCD Daily.
Nothing to do with checking it daily haha..
