6 days fun trip in Kota Kinabalu

Went to Kota Kinabalu for 6 days, from 4th January till 9th January 2012. This was more of a relax and enjoy trip than an exploration or shopping trip. Most of the time we just chill and hang out together, take good food :)

In Kota Kinabalu town we stay in Marina Court Promenade Apartment and in Kundasang we stayed at Mount Kinabalu Lodge. Due to the limited time we only went to these 2 places. Spent a day at Pulau Sapi.

These photos are all taken by my dear Roomie, Ms. Clare :) She is born in KK though currently living in Bintulu Sarawak. So she knows KK quite well and we went around in her brother's car, thanks a lot! :) Clare was our driver, tour guide, photographer and cook (we cooked our own seafood at the apartment!) Haha. 

We visited Yayasan Sabah, Lok Kawi Wildlife, USM Aquarium, Pulau Sapi, Sabah Tea and Cows/Cattle farm in Mesilau. Reached the highest spot of Mount Kinabalu which can be accessed by car, and some malls like 1Borneo, Central Point and etc. 

Photos of this part 1 are taken by Clare and edited by her too, not in sequence. 














































































Photos of Part 2 taken by Isabel and edited by me, also not in sequence :)

















































































I know this post is a little unorganized, this always haapen when I am not the photographer. It gets a little messy because I copied them and lazy to arrange. Sorry *puppy eyes*. But I guess enough to show how much fun we had and you who had not been there, it's a great spot for vacation in Malaysia! In my opinion, best tourism spot in Malaysia! What more to ask for they have among the best Islands and beaches, also the highest peak in South East Asia. Shopping in KK is great as well.

We only did snorkeling, no time for diving and weather was bad, it rained during the day we went to Pulau Sapi. But snorkeling was great because the corals and fishes are pretty :)

Two days after I came back from KK, I flew to KL then flew to Cambodia FML. My brothers asked me how many flights I took since Korea, I counted and I took 12 flights. All 12 flights in 5 months. Some more mostly around 2 hours flight. Bus ride in Cambodia itself total up was 30 hours wtf.

Will blog about Cambodia soon. So much to tell about Cambodia! Had a real adventure there! Hahah. I guess if you go to any of IndoChina countries you will have some extra stories to tell :)

Till then... I will have some adventure in Kuching. Feel good to be back home!

If you are early 20's

Hi all!

Just got back from Sabah. We went high and low. Went snorkeling at Pulau Sapi and all the way to the foot of Mount. Kinabalu at Mesilau. Wanted to try diving but we don't have much knowledge in this. And the weather was pretty bad. Was supposed to stop and Mamutik and Manukan but those islands were not even visible from Sapi due to the thick mist. Will update later on this because I was too lazy to take pictures throughout the trip so most pictures were taken using my roomie's dslr or my friend's phone camera. Why need so many cameras and pose for so many times right? :)

And this is random, I am turning 22! Yikes, feeling so old >.<

Early 20's is a complicated age, why?
  • Single-will start worrying whether they will end their life #foreveralone
  • In relationship-will start worrying whether they can sustain their relationship till marriage
  • Married-will start wondering why they got married too early
  • Divorced-will be thinking why did they even got married
And all of them-will start worrying about what is there in the future for them.

Or just surrender everything to God,
because the World might just really end soon so why worry so much wtf.

p/s: Someone please help me unpack T____T

Boyfriends 101

No, this is not that post on 101 ways to get a boyfriend, or 101 ways to dump your boyfriend. Neither is it going to mention 101 boyfriends of mine, which I never had that many. Never even met 101 who are potential boyfriends wtf.

It's a new year so perhaps I should start 2012 with an interesting post, while my brothers are BBQ-ing because my youngest brother will be off for National Service tomorrow #likeaboss. And oh ya before I forgotten this is just a reminder to myself, I spent almost RM500 just on clothes and skincare, in 3 days. Bravo T__T There goes my new year. And I still have 2 trips coming up 4-19 January. And Chinese New Year who knows where is the family going this time and how much I am going to spend again FML.

Alright back to topic... I guess most readers knew that I started 2012 single. Not a big deal, after all I am just 21 wtf and my expectations on potential boyfriend had just shoot up the sky. What many didn't know was that it had been so hard to let go. Read about "Meme Proposal" which when crazy online? Congrats! 3 years relationship ended in marriage, but mine went down the drain #hahaha. LOL I am not sad, even a friend's 5 years relationship ended so mine was probably nothing so sad about.

Just that...I learned what love is. You know when you grew older, you start to feel a little insecure about yourself but at the same time maturity grew? Ok I didn't have 101 boyfriends but they are people in my life whom I've loved, who loved me back but in the end, people change.

If you mean actual relationships with guys, I had a few but only 2 left me deep impressions and changed the way I view life wtf. It took me 2 months to learn that I should just let go and stop hoping that it will revive, that even if doesn't work out, love will not let it work out. You need more than just love for a perfect relationship.

On New Year's Eve I decided to be a little honest, let him know what I really felt and yes, he said it will never work out again. And I knew it will be too stupid on me to let myself being hurt for the third time by the same guy. We had first chance, second chance, but only God will give third chance, and all the other chances you want.

I told myself not to go through the same stupidity, but to just let us live in those memories. We thank each other for the memories and may the future be better with us living off each other. But there is always something playing in my mind...which when I asked, I always get excuses after excuses. Do guys ever think about the future at the beginning of a relationship? Because it seemed that when they want it to end, they always use the future as a reason (I mean other than other ladies they date if they are having affairs FTL).

"I don't see you in my future." "I cannot have a future with someone like you." "I don't want to have my children behaving like you." "We are not compatible." "We are going towards different direction." wtf. You freaked out whenever I mentioned about marriage or the future and now all of a sudden we have NO future #hahaha. Now you think girls are complicated?

Okay this post is *becoming* lame. But my vision of boyfriend is now like Lee Min Ho or Rain wtf #toomanykoreandramas. Can be short like Big Bang's TaeYang but if he's as hot dancer then why not. Or maybe don't need so good looking but can cook Asian meals cause I can only cook Western food wtf. Or...at least be romantic, I never even got a single stem of rose FML kaokao. 

I'm not a high maintenance girl....errrr not all true but really, only my money management very bad FML but now because my 17 years old brother is saving for a Lamborghini wtf, I should probably at least save for a Mini Cooper (though that is wayyyy cheaper than a Lambo). Oh God, I will probably die single FML #hahaha #awkward.
