Embarking on a journey at ukkay, where time slows down and simplicity becomes the guiding philosophy. This rustic haven, nestled in lush greenery, is a retreat to the basics – a pause from the chaos of everyday life. As dawn breaks, a chorus of birds welcomes the day, and as dusk descends, an orchestra of insects takes the stage beneath a star-lit sky. Here, amidst nature’s embrace, we disconnect from the busyness, forging a deeper connection with both the world around us and the quiet sanctuary within.

ukkay

(pronounced ohk-kei)

When deciding a name for this place, I was sure that I wanted to call it “home”. Because that was my vision; for it to be a home for myself, to my fellow travellers and to those seeking refuge and respite from the noise and busyness. So my sister and I looked into the native language of the Rungus tribe. “Valai” was the word for “home”. Unfortunately, the word is already being used by a hotel at Kudat town centre. "So what about in Hakka?”, we thought as there is a large Hakka Chinese community in Kudat. However, we didn’t really liked the ring of “ookkah” and it might give a wrong impression, being close to sounding like “hookah”. “Then how about in Cantonese?”. So for the simple reason that I grew up in a Cantonese speaking household, this home of mine is thenceforth called “ukkay”.
