a slight delay...

it took me a while to realise that we're actually in july! it feels a bit odd doesn't it? time has once again managed to escape us... it feels like it was only the other day when we were entering into the year twenty-ten + now we're half way through it!

i do apologise for the delay in this month's calendar, i've just spent a week in one of my favourite destinations - kota kinabalu, malaysia. it's a beautiful place offering a plethora of activities by the beach/underwater + on land/high up, with great kopi (coffee) + a melting pot of ethnic foods to enjoy. we managed to test the waters whilst white water rafting + diving, as well as putting our stamina to the test by climbing mt. kinabalu + yes we reached the peak at 4,095m above sea level!!

the calendar for this month (albeit a late one) is the morning view from up the mountain, maybe it'll inspire you to climb it one day :: enjoy :)
