Treasured Moments

What do you do on a Sunday afternoon?

Family time of course~

Dad the biker enthusiast decided to go on a bike ride at the beautiful Shangri-La Rasa Ria beach resort in Tuaran, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. To be honest I reluctant because Sunday afternoon's is the time when I get really tired and crave an afternoon nap. However, I manned up (woman-ed up) and decided to go along with the family. I grabbed my camera and loaded up the bikes and of we went.

Along the way, the scenery was beautiful! We saw the majestic Mount Kinabalu showcasing its glamour on her throne enveloped in fluffy pearl dollops of clouds. Below the lowly hills bow in reverence as the pristine lake serves as a personal mirror to the beauty that never ceases to amaze villagers and tourists passing by.

My sister and I got to sit at the back of our Dad's pickup truck, the rushing wind on my face made me feel like I was soaring free like an eagle.

Since we only had two bikes, Dad and my sister were the ones who cycled and I filmed the short journey whilst my mum drove the car.

It was a perfect day; breezy, not too humid as it always is on a Sunday afternoon and some brewing rain clouds.

So we came to a wide stretch of beach and the sight before me was spectacular. The sun was about to set and If you haven't yet know I'm obsessed with beaches and sunsets! We just looked on into the horizon as the sun began to set hiding behind an assembly of grey clouds.

What I love about that place was that it wasn't crowded with tourist; there was only 2 families there including mine. It was quiet, peaceful and relaxing. You can't hear the chatters of people it's just your soul, the beach and the folding sound of waves. A great moment to have to yourself.

After that, we had to rush back home. But before that we stopped by at a restaurant further up the main road called the Oriental restaurant where they serve different types of Chinese cuisine (crocodile meat, bat, eels etc.) Pretty good food at a reasonable price. The owner was kind enough to offer us coconut drink out of the coconut itself that was grown just at their backyard. It was delicious!

After the scrumptious meal we headed back home.

Here are pictures that I took.
