14th February, Valentine’s Day. The day of love in which people profess their love, or just another commercialised holiday, depending on how you want to look at it.
This year, I spent Valentine’s Day in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. I thought I’d share a funny story of how I nearly (nearly being a bit of a stretch) found love in Kota Kinabalu.
When I told my friends and family that I was going to Gran Canaria, a lot of their responses was “where is that?”. Gran Canaria is a Spanish Island off the coast of Morocco and is a part of the Canary Islands.
Picture beautiful blue skies, a white sandy beach, sparkling blue green seas and a vibrant green forest with monkeys swinging from tree to tree. This is what greeted me when we arrived at Sapi Island in Malaysia. I’m actually jealous of myself right now lol, I wish I was still there rather than here writing this blog post in a very windy and rainy London.
Gong Xi Fa Cai (Happy New Year in Mandarin)!
Last month, I spent two amazing weeks in Kota Kinabalu (KK), Malaysia. My friend who is from KK and is currently studying in London, invited me to go back home with her for Chinese New Year. This was my first time celebrating Chinese New Year and it was an amazing experience to do this in an Asian country and during the year of the monkey, which is my zodiac sign.
