my deepest apologies for the lack of update. I've finally had the time to just sit down, check my email and everything else. Well I've been going out almost everyday ever since SPM ended and those few days when I'm not out, I'm stuck watching the korean series my aunty and ling got me stuck on :p I'll get to that soon.
The trip to Mount Kinabalu was very eye opening and plentiful exciting, I might add. By exciting I mean having altitude sickness, having muscle pains all over, encountering HUGE grasshoppers the size of birds and whining for civilisation. Haha yes, it was definitely an experience. Well I didn't make it up to the peak though I really would've liked to but due to altitude sickness while climbing up to the rest point which was 3/4 of the way up the mountain, heading up to the peak at 2 am in the morning was a big no no for me.
Katt couldn't climb up either due to the sprained ankle so the both of us slept in till aisyah came bursting into our room. Climbing down was horrible. In the beginning it was fun coz you know the more I climbed down, the more I could breathe. But soon it got really hard coz the climb down really took a toll on our knees and legs. My knees buckled under me so many times plus the mud wasn't helping me. Thank goodness both dani and vk were there to help me. fd on the other hand took a really long time to come down coz her knees were giving her problems.
The next morning we all woke up with very very very sore limbs and muscles. The hot spring didn't help much which brings me to my theory of not trusting malaysian facilities, really. Sapi Island was fun with the banana boat and all. Then the hotel on the last day was the best :) It was a good way to end my school.
While everyone headed to the airport on the last day, I met up with my parents in the airport and extended my stay in Kota Kinabalu. We stayed at the Nexus Karambunai Hotel. The rooms were huge and I could dance in the bathroom. Just what I needed after my expedition. As usual, I lazed around like a big fat pig in the hotel room so you could say that it was money well spent on the room :p The beach was beautiful along with the scenery. But alas, all good things must come to an end.
That night after we landed in KL, we went out for dinner at the club with ling and her family. We had jap and after me saying: "I'm not hungry, I don't wanna eat", I ended up eating a lot. Then they had a good time laughing at me as I came down the stairs sideways, like a crab :(
On the 20th of December was ling's 18th birthday! I had lunch in starhill then to the hospital to visit my uncle then to klang for ling's birthday dinner. The food was really good and I know of someone who ate to her heart's content *wink* The cake was a unique cake coz it was a cupcake cake. We bought her roxy shorts plus a red packet for her big birthday this year. Haha.
The next day was Mamma Mia! day. We had mcd's for lunch then quickly headed to Istana Budaya so that we could get good parking. The show was amazing, it was so good! One of the best musicals I've been to. Well, partly because I love the songs and the dancers plus one of the male leads was hot :) Genius ling brought her binoculars and we were looking through them throughout the whole show. We could scrutinize everyone on stage and look at their expressions. Plus, there was the occasional: "Oh look at the one to the far right, cute right?" or "omg, look at the one on the left. so hot!!" haha. We did however manage to get a picture with Sky or Gary Watson, one of the male leads :)
Ever since then I've been out with Min Hua (before he leaves for uk), been out with my primary classmates, been out with ling, sa ee and gee ee. Today the 5 of us, me, ling, sa ee, gee ee and mummy went to gsc signature to watch Australia. It was a really good movie. Ip Man is also a good movie, the kung fu was cool plus it was quite sad in the end but all in all a good movie. Yes Man was really funny seeing as Jim Carrey was in it. Now all I wanna watch is Bedtime Stories.
Oh and as for how I started watching korean shows, it was when sa ee just gave it to me so I decided to try it. It was worth the try :) true, mummy said that they over dramatize it but it works and I cried so much. I spent the whole day watching it yesterday and as a result I ended up having swollen, puffy, red eyes. But the actors and actresses are really talented in acting. The first one I watched was Stairway to Heaven. The songs in the show are really nice so I'm trying to get it off ling along with the piano scores and this is my very cheap (and by cheap I mean no cost) birthday present. Haha.
I must must must get to writing an email to lisa...
more pictures will be up soon! :)
