BATU FERRINGHI BEACH

          The most beautiful island in Penang.


    A little further along the coast towards Georgetown, Batu Ferringhi (Foreigner's Rock) is a resort strip lined with big hotels, tourist shops, restaurants and car and motorcycle rental offices. They are also plenty of moneychangers to welcome you.

The beach itself is quite good, thought not up there with Malaysia's best and the water is not of the tropically clear variety you might expect. The beach is kept clean, even on weekends when hordes of day-trippers visit.

Batu Ferringhi has the drawbacks of a large resort, it can be crowded and much of the greenery has been replaced by concrete, but also the advantages (plenty of restaurants, watering holes and recreation facilities). It has quite a lively resort feel, and there is a good night markets on the main road selling trinkets. The big hotels offer good deals at times and cheaper accommodation is available if you want a few days by the beach.

PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE

WHEN TO USE?

1. We use the Present Continuous Tense to talk about activities happening now.
   Examples
      The kids are watching TV.
      I am sitting down, because I am tired.
      I am not learning German, because this is an English class.
      Who are you writing to?
2. We can also use the Present Continuous Tense to talk about activities happening around now, and not necessarily this very moment.
   Examples
      Sally is studying really hard for her exams this week.
      I am reading a really interesting book now.
      How are you brushing up on your English for the trip?
      We aren't working hard these days.
3. The Present Continuous Tense is also used to talk about activities happening in the near future, especially for planned future events.
   Examples
      I am seeing my dentist on Wednesday.
      Polly is coming for dinner tomorrow.
      Are you doing anything tonight?
      We aren't going on holiday next week.

Simole present tense

SUBJECT + AUXILIARY VERB + MAIN VERB
                                DO                       BASE


There are three important exceptions:

1. For positive sentences, we do not normally use the auxiliary.
2. For the 3rd person singular (he, she, it), we add s to the main verb or es to the auxiliary.
3. For the verb to be, we do not use an auxiliary, even for questions and negatives.

We use the simple present tense when:

• the action is general.
• the action happens all the time, or habitually, in the past, present and future.
• the action is not only happening now.
• the statement is always true.

For example;

I live in New York.

The Moon goes round the Earth.

John drives a taxi.

He does not drive a bus.

Sipadan Island

     Pulau Sipadan is located off the small coastal town of Semporna on Sabah's eastern coast. Just 15 feet from the beach, the water turns indigo blue as the sea drops abruptly to 2,850ft deep! It is rather awe-inspiring. Myriad of colorful tropical fish swim in the warm water near the surface whereas huge groupers nose about. Moreover, the water gets so dark that one would not really know what lurks below. This famous feature won Sipadan island a "Best Beach Dive in the World" award in 1993.
    

A beautiful white-sand beach fringes Sipadan but the real beauty of this island is in its waters. The season for diving is from mid-February to mid-December. Visibility ranges from 60 feet to over 200 feet. Several dive spots have even been identified and given exotic names after the variety of corals and marine life that are unique to these spots. There is the "Hanging Gardens", the "Barracuda Point", and the exciting "Turtle Cavern".
