The weather has been erratic the past few days - that is being blazing hot lately. And as a victim of ezcema, this type of weather is a no-no to my skin. To add, it is also the "time of the month". So, I'm abit cranky these days... so, BEWARE! Joking..
Although with those circumstances, I was still eager to venture out to Tamparuli with my father 
Why?
Honestly, I enjoy these little moments I have with my father where I can talk about anything and I love his opinions. As a description, he is different in his ideologies, he is creative, innovative, an optimist but a realist, etc, etc.
It wasn't always sunshine, rainbows and unicorns with my father. As a typical teenager, I was quite a rebellion. Which caused our relationship to be abit tense (not that bad la...) and we always had disputes on most matters. But as I had to face living by myself, managing my own finances and daily life, I come to appreciate the time away from my family that led me to have a different mentality now towards my family - "Family first". Therefore, any chance I have to spend time with them, I'd put it above anything else.
Alright, back to the story... For those that has not been to Tamparuli, Kota Kinabalu in Sabah. Here are a few pictures of Tamparuli.
A glimpse of our adventure today consists of:-
• Roaming around the dry and wet market. (Also known as 'tamu')
• Surveying the old school structured shoplots
• But most of all, discover new things. (I think I like this phrase, should be my daily mantra).
Or it could be a catchy tag for me?
#discoverwithrubina
Hit me up with some comments on this 😝
As part of the #discoverwithrubina (self-initiate tag HAHA but TBD)
Guess what this is....
Any guesses?
And to those that can read in Bahasa Melayu or Bahasa Malaysia. Look at these traditional concoctions. I am not sure of its effectiveness though but it looks very interesting. Dont you think so?
In our conversation today between

He kind of got excited and took loads of pictures with various colors. In a way, it was like a fun assignment I had with my father. Here are the pics which we found eye-catching.
Cotton candy madness
In a glance, don't you think they look like chicken nuggets?
A tiny carnival brewing behind all the market chaos
Cute little ducklings - anyone up for ordering?
Concluding today's post is a picture of this little boy as I think it represents a symbol - where we should reflect of whatever that is good that we've encountered today.
Adios for now.. to #teammalaysia goodnight and good day ahead to the other fellow Steemians. ❤️
