Hi, I’m Batad, the writer behind SabahLife.
I live in Sabah, Malaysia, and this blog is where I share experiences from my everyday life—working on the land, keeping stingless bees, exploring places and spending time outdoors.
Some stories begin in the rubber garden. Others come from a honey harvest, an off-road trip or a quiet moment thinking about what comes next.
What You’ll Find Here
Sabah
Places I visit, local life and discoveries around my home state.
Farm Life
Experiences from the farm and rubber garden, including the work, challenges and lessons along the way.
Kelulut
My experiences keeping stingless bees—from caring for colonies to harvesting honey.
Outdoors
Off-road journeys, rivers and time spent exploring beyond the usual routes.
My Journey
Personal reflections, projects and plans as I prepare for retirement and the next chapter of life.
Why I Started SabahLife
I wanted a place to keep these stories and share what I learn. Things do not always go according to plan, and those experiences are part of the story too.
SabahLife is built around what I do, observe and learn firsthand. When I write about something I am still trying or planning, I want readers to understand where I am in that journey.
Over time, I hope this blog becomes a record of the places I explore, the land I work and the life I build here in Sabah.
Thanks for stopping by.
