13th June, 2008, 7:30pm, we drove off from Singapore Tuas Custom toward Kuala Lumpur, Capitol of Malaysia on my friend’s car. Arriving Kuala Lumpur around mid night and we put up at Kok Loong’s (KL, my hubby) sister house, before taking up the AirAsia flight which departed at 7.20am, 14th June. 2008. It was about 2.5hrs flight journey from KLIA to Sabah, Tawau Airport. We have arrived Tawau on time at 10.05am (Tawau is 1hr behind Singapore time). We are immediately greeted by the personnel from Kapalai Resort and were put on another 70mins (depends on traffic, we took about 1.5hrs!) land journey on a mini bus to the Semporna Jetty. The speed boat took another hr or so… it was a long journey.
In the lazy, warm & humid afternoon, we finally arrived at this heavenly known island, Sipadan Kapalai Dive Resort, in East Malaysia Sabah. The whole resort was built on an island that was shallowly covered under the sea (p/s: No beach on this resort). We were greeted by the crystal clear blue water and baby blue sky. Starfishes were smiling at us, school of jack fish swimming around and blue spot stingray were spying on us. Our fatigue slipped away when greeted warmly by the staff at Kapalai and this magnificent sight!
The 3 mains meals of the days are all in buffet style. Afternoon snacks served after 3rd dive, tea/coffee, cold water and cordial served throughout the day. So we had our first lunch and was check into our “enormous“, non-air condition resort house. Our house was #50, which was the 2nd last unit along the two endless stretches of accommodation. The whole housing consist of a king size bed and a single size bed, with a really huge enough toilet that has both a standing shower and a bath tub that oversee the endless Celebes Sea…cool isn’t?! And not forgetting the baloney for chilling out anytime of the day.
