Pulau Sipadan Island, Sabah Malaysia
Sipadan island is located off the town of Semporna on the East Coast of Sabah. No lodging is allowed at this island since 2005 as the Malaysian Government and Sabah Tourism Board want to protect and maintain a balanced marine and eco-system on Sipadan island. Pulau Sipadan is an oceanic island that perched on the pinnacle of a steep underwater limestone mountain that rises vertically from an abyss of 600 meters. It is fringed with a beautiful white sand beach and has the largest variety of fascinating soft corals structures in the world.

With very clear visibility of more than 100 feet around the Sipadan Island water, it is easy to see giant turtles that swim and frolic freely here, and sometimes you even have the chance for a close encounter with lobster, coral fishes, barracudas as well as small sharks here.
Pulau Sipadan Island also has wonderful sandy beaches with a densely wooded central core that is perfect for sunning, swimming and enjoying spectacular sunsets. Besides that, it is a stop-over point for the Nicobar pigeon which flies from China during winter as well as a bird sanctuary where you can observe many frigates, sea eagles, terns and sea gulls that glide across the clear skies. Sipadan Island is indeed a perfect holiday heaven for visitors who are looking for amazing Borneo holidays getaway.
Experience Using Blog
A blog or also can be said as Web Log is a website that user create and drop down their personal experiences, opinions, and their observations. After using blog for few months, we learn something new and interest from blogger. Below is the experiences for each of us about using blog.
So Bee Seong:
This is the second time for me to get touch with blog. Here, I would like to share my experiences about using blog in these days.I find out that blogging is quite interested as our daily activity. First, blog is easy to access. Once we success to sign up a blog account, then we are consider as blogger. After that, we can start to design our profile with based on our preferences such as the theme, background, and colors. As I know, although there are many social networks in the internet world, but not all the social networks provide this design function for their users.
Second, blog is a best tool for user to drop down their daily life like how diary do. The advancement of information technology caused people holding their online gadgets most of the time instead of holding their pen especially teenagers nowadays. In our blog, we recommend the beaches in Malaysia, so we consider it as infomation sharing. Blog able to help us share the information to wide audience or blog viewers. Therefore, for other blogger who is interest with the contents in our blog, they can simply take a look without any barrier since we didn't limit the privacy setting for any viewers.
Third, with using blog, we can add on some entertainment tools such as music box and video. It can make our blog looks more attractive and interesting. We can share the videos we want from Youtube or upload the pictures as our post. When readers read through our posting, they not only can imagine the places from the words but still can get more information from the pictures and videos provided. As a result, the reader will not feel bore when they can read and watch.
However, I also realize that blog has its drawback. We should know that, not all of the internet users are interest with blog. Social networks are spread over the world, such as Facebook, MySpace,Twitter, and Google +. Blog users might think that it's easy to create a blog, but then they find that it's hard for them to spell out what they think into their blog. Therefore, these users will switch to another kind of social network. Besides, people also think that blog is not the way for them to get more friends until they never plan to sign up an account for blog. Hence, no matter how interest we create our blog, people will never realize the exist of our blog.

Yap Pooi Fun:
First of all, I would like to share
some of my experience based on using about the blog. Actually this is my second
time in using the blog. By the way after using the blog, I discover that the quick and easy way a blog can be updated is a great advantage to bloggers especially to the personal ones who want to be able to keep as a daily log of events. A blog is a web publishing tool that allows us to quickly and easily self-publish text, artwork, links to other blogs or web sites and a whole array of other content. Therefore, after using the blog, we can express our personal feeling and opinion that happen surround us daily by simply typing in some text and letting the whole world be able to read what is going on in our head.
Beside that, blog can be easy updated. That means we able to post new information quickly through blog. Just like the information that we post in this blog, we suggest some of the Malaysia's island that we think is a nice place to travel. Therefore, blog enable us to easy updated when we want to post a new travel place to other. As a result, we can always updated our blog account without having trouble.
In addition, blog enable us to share the knowledge with other people. This is because by using blog we have freedom of speech. We can share our past experience, knowledge and thinking in some aspect. Blog is worldwide and everyone can access it freely and easily. Therefore, the knowledge that we share can be read by everyone.
However, although blog provide many benefit to people, but it also have some disadvantages as well. People can steal our personal privacy through blog and abuse this information. It become harmful in our life. Therefore, we must wisely and carefully when use the blog to avoid such criminal thing.
Lee Xin Yi :
This is my first experience to get touch with blog. First of all, I would like to share my experience of using the blog via this assignment. After using the blog, I discover that blog is a quite interesting tool to share personal experience and very easy to manage it. We can obtain personal experiences from blogs by visualizing an event as three kinds of pictures, action, object, and place. We can judge whether a blog text contains personal experiences or not by watching output pictures. Some of the participants said that it was difficult to judge the contents of pictures, when several objects were drawn in a picture. We will improve the method to acquire pictures, and will replace such pictures to new ones representing extracted keywords more simply and intuitively.
In addition, we can get the three major benefits by using the blog which is satisfied readers, lesser effort required and easier content distribution. Since we’re able to easily publish all articles for our different
blogs, we’ll be able to satisfy readers’ needs for more posts
coming from us. We can even entice them look forward to our upcoming
articles when we make it a habit to schedule the publishing of our
posts. In a sense, we make it possible to establish our own fan base
for our blog. With the WordPress Manager doing all of the necessary posting and
publishing work for us, we can just sit back and focus on creating
content. We need to check from time to time but overall we won’t have
to spend too much energy in getting posts published anymore.Through the blog, it makes it easier for our
content to go out to people who subscribed to it. It becomes an indirect
marketing method since we’ll be able to reach out to potential readers
through others who receives our content through feeds.
Through this blog, we introduce the beaches in Malaysia to local or foreign tourists.There are many nice scenery beaches in Malaysia. It is very suitable for tourists to travel and spend their holidays at there.Tourists can obtain more information about the places they want travel through our blog. Therefore, blog enables us to post the new travel places and share our experiences to others. For me, blog is a best and efficient tool for us to share out our experiences and knowledge to others.
Heah Seok See:
This is my first time to use a blog. My group members and me have
created a blog for assignment purpose. For me, I feel that blog is difficult to
use. I don’t know how to post a new post in the blog and need my group members
to explain to me how a blog function. After using the blog in a couple of
weeks, I realize that the blog is very fun to use and interesting. We create
the blog with the purpose to introduce the islands which are famous in Malaysia
either for local or foreign tourists. We share the famous islands in Malaysia
such as Redang Island to let people know the beach in Malaysia is amazing and
can compete with beaches in other country.
Besides that, blog is a tool that can be used to share our
experience, knowledge and feelings. After I manage to use the blog, I have
registered and created my own blog in order to share my feeling through blog. I can
simply write out what has happened in my daily life and share it with my blog
followers. If I encounter with a problem that cannot be solved, I can express
my feeling through my blog. My blog followers will comment on my post and give
me some advises and suggestions.
Although blog bring convenience to us, there are
opportunities to bring along the crimes too. We must aware of the privacy
problems when using a blog.
Low Saw Yan :
Actually
this is my first time to create a blog. I felt extremely excited to create a
blog and very lucky that I have the chance to do it. Before I create a blog, I think
that this is a difficult task for me, I will never have the ability to do it. But,
after I try to do it, I realized that it is not too difficult for me and I can
handle it. By using a blog, I had learned a lot of things and knowledge. There
are I learn how to create a blog by myself, I can make friends online, share
knowledge and experience with other peoples. In addition, I also can release my
feeling in the blog.
In conclusion, create a blog totally a good experience for
me and I really very enjoy it.
Batu Ferringhi Beach
Batu Ferringhi is a popular destination in Pulau Pinang, a resort strip stretching along the northern coast of the island, with plenty of international hotels, extensive dining facilities and fun night shopping!
If there's one place in Penang that has its generous share of foreign visitors, it would have to be Batu Ferringhi. Aside from Georgetown, Batu Ferringhi is arguably the second most visited destination on Penang Island.
It's difficult to put a finger on what it is exactly that draws repeat visitors to Batu Ferringhi each year. Like Georgetown, Batu Ferringhi is a great place for visitors to enjoy the good food and great shopping. But Batu Ferringhi also has some of the nicest beaches on Penang Island. The long stretch of beach on the northern flank of Penang Island, of which Batu Ferringh beach is part of, is combination of wide golden-sand beaches and picturesque deep blue-green coves hedged by large granite boulders that seem to have tumbled from the hilly interiors of the island, right into the sea.
Batu Ferringhi has all the conveniences a visitor would want for an easy, hassle-free holiday. All along the Batu Ferringhi road, which runs parallel to the beach just a few metres away, you can find a great variety of shops including restaurants, cafes, convenience stores, mobile phone shops and souvenir shops. The combination of great location, ease of access, high number of accommodation choices and ample facilities and conveniences makes Batu Ferringhi a sure-fire choice for an easy holiday destination.
One unique feature of Batu Ferringhi is the exciting sidewalk bazaar that takes place every day from around 6pm until past midnight. This night bazaar is a busy and enjoyable shopping experience for visitors, and plenty of haggling can be heard along the stretch of individual stalls. Traders and buyers negotiating in good humour for the best price for the variety of items on sale – from imitation designer t-shirts to silver jewellery, colourful plastic buoys to fragile exotic curios.
