Sabah was breathtakingawesome. to be honest, i'm not left with much of me bonus in the bank and i'm overloaded with seafood. but was greeted home by mother's sambal sotong. deli or what. and prosperity burger is back. sodaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap sekali.
08 ended with me no longer being a virgin snorkeler.baik shikin!and since i already know how to really use the diving mask, you bet this won't be the last time.and hopefully the lifejacket doesn't suffocate me. HAHAHA. and the fish, kasi chance k. i might be in the wrong (left me feeling pretty bad about it), though the biting sound they made is still vivid in my mind. (obvious exaggeration laaa, but i suuwwwwear.)
champion sho(r)t.
then amazed by dead audience and the fireworks which got us girls all excited one moment and terrified the next. macam jatuh on us. scaareemarreee. but really funny. long live fire!
started off the New Year doing a tribal dance and where adik almost got killed by the tribes. played their games which i really sucked at. i do not even have the power to aim. macam siak. tak boleh diharap betul. kalau aku orang kadazandusun, siang-siang dah mati kena sumpit agaknya. spotted the proboscis monkey which was fun but we got bored after a while haha and saw fireflies in the dark, making the trees look like it's christmas. and the starfilled sky, gorgeous.
macam scary.
si monyet hidung besau.
next day, had a bumpy ride to Mount K. cheh berbual macam mendaki gunung. we went to kinabalu park and tracked up to the canopy walkway i.e. jambatan atas pokok. seriously, what a way to start the new year right? i was obviously captivated by the gorgeous scenery near the Mountain. and when we need to walk up, we were half dead actually. ni lah gara-gara tak exercise langsung. baru 500m and we were complaining already. shame on us. hoho.
tu gunung balu cina aka Mount Kinabalu kat belakang. hitam belegam.
then the real thrill begins. walking on the plank (of course with nets surrounding it). 5 canopies totalling to 500m across, and get this, 40 m high. aku sumpah, if my pessimistic side won, i'd have cried and shivered the whole time. but i was silently motivating myself, and not thinking of the worst. looked down a couple of times, macam nak terkencet pun ada coz you can't even see the ground. kalau jatuh kirakan kau termasuk bawah tanah straight ah. (exaggeration, yet again, i think)
step ada courage. boleh tahan ah.
then berendam in the hot spring. kids boobs sebab macam mandi bathtub with hot water. but what the hell, feels so good after climbing the mountain (stoppit). and van-ed down again this time with heavy rain andrew the closet f1 driver had to slow down (a lil) coz fog was covering his view, and of course ours, as passengers (hey aku tak tido all the time ok). saw 2 accidents along the way. praying like mad silently. and we saw not one, but two rainbows side by side. total beauty!!
on top of that, bargained, ate and laughed a lot. very good holiday. met people from different parts of the world. and sabahans are really wonderful people. awesomeness and really, really pretty memories :)
with tallest
hooookeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
on a less exciting note, school starts in a few hours time. thank god for free friday baby.
much love!
