Sabah - Day 5

• Woke up at 1.30 am. It's still raining outside. Take a shower in the freezing water to adjust body temp with the outside temp.
• Had our supper at 2.00 am. Most of the climbers were ready. Waiting for green light from the park ranger to proceed with the climb to summit. Outside still raining.
• 3.00 am, still no green light. Outside, temperature dropped to as low as 6 degree. Heavy rain and strong wind.
• 4.30 am, still no change. There's no way we can proceed to the summit due to the bad weather. =(. If proceed, it will be damn risky to the climbers and also guides.
• 5.00 am, confimed that the climb to summit need to be cancelled. Went back to our room to continue our sleep.
• 6.30 am, still raining outside but not as heavy as before. So, decided to try to climb to the furthest we could go. And, Gunting Lagadan is the highest point we can reach. The gate to proceed to Sayat2 check point already closed.
• 7.00 am, had our breakfast and get ready for the descend.
• 8.45 am, start our journey descending Mt. Kinabalu. The wind was so damn strong. At one point I almost felt down the cliff due to the wind. Fuhh!!
• 3.30 pm, arrived back at Timpohon gate. The car was ready to take us back to Kota Kinabalu.
• On the way back to KK, made a few stops at: Jambatan Tamparuli and Yayasan Sabah building for photo ops.
• Had our dinner at One Borneo, one of the largest mall at KK.
• Checked in at Ruby Hotel. Washed up. And went out to check out the night market before called it a day.

• Buffet breakfast at Balsam Cafe.

Sabah - Day 3

• Rent a car for our next destination, Ranau and Kundasang
• What a lovely scenic mountains view all the way there
• Stop for lunch at Ranau before we went to Poring Hot Spring, Ranau
  
• Since it's a weekend, the place was quite crowded. Hence, decided to get private room for all of us.
  
• After a relaxing soak in the hot water, we went for Poring Canopy Walkway. Imagine, hanging on 41m above the land. Adrenaline rush!
• Then off to Peak Lodge at Kinabalu Park, Kundasang. The lodge was beautiful and we got magnificient view of the majestic Mt. Kinabalu from our lodge. So breathtaking.
  

Sabah - Day 2

• Early start. 6 am, and it's already bright and shine here.
  
• After breakfast, hop on a cab and off to Jesselton Point Jetty. Bought ticket for boat to Pulau Manukan. RM17 for return trip + RM7 jetty fee+RM15 for snorkeling gear.
  
• Spent the whole afternoon at Manukan Island. Snorkeling, sun bathing, swimming. Quite disappointed to find that the corals and the fishes are actually not that beautiful as compared to Perhentian/Redang Island. Nevertheles, the island scenic view and the white beach, and the clear crystal water are awesome.
• Arrived back at the Jesselton Point at 4 pm. Had a late lunch. The others went back to hotel while me and him opt to just had a walk around KK town. Stop at Filipino Market again to buy more souvenirs.
• For dinner, pizza and grilled prawns and squids at hotel room. Yummy!
  

Sabah - Day 1

• Arrived at KKIA around 3pm. Checked in at Shangri-La. Got ourselves nice twin-sharing room. Rest and fresh up self.
• Walked to Filipino Market. It's a market selling crafts, gifts and souvenirs. Pearls and crystals are the specialties. The displayed price are quite high, but u must know how to bargain and the price can go down way low.
  
• Photography session with sunset view by the seaside. Nice.
  
• At night, watched 'The Dark Knight' at the GSC Cinema just across our hotel. Heath Ledger is a legend man. "Why so seriouss??"
  

Excitement

Kinabalu trip will happen in like few days more. Yet, I haven't feel any excitement. Dunno why.
Have no urge to start packing or anything.

But based on my previous experiences, this is actually good. If I don't feel excited before any trips, in the end,i will really enjoy myself and have the time of my life. But, If I was excited , I will feel very devastated and frustrated in the end.

So, this time, gonna set my expectation low.

But I'm not saying I don't prepare at all for this trip. I do train for the climb. And yesterday already bought a few essentials for the trip. Despite my grumpiness and suddenly became so moody, still manage to bring home a luggage and jacket, thanx to a certain someone.

Speaking of which, I think it's been a while since the last time I really sulk. I think I suck at sulking. It won't last long. Yes, I will show long face, utter only few words, but in the end,I just give up. Lame.

Again, I blame it to hormone.

All Work No Play make Jack a dull boy

July certainly one of the busiest month this year.

At work, seems that everyone is rushing to complete the pending projects. You know with the Beijing games and everything. All must be completed by 08.08.08. Lucky number huh?

Yet, there are also lots of blockbuster movies premiered this month.

Though I maybe stuck at the office with the never ending workload, I still need to find time to watch these must see movies:

1. The Dark Night (gonna miss the late Heath Ledger)
2. Hell Boy 2
3. Journey to the Center of the Earth (Brendan Fraser? Yummy)
4. Sex and the City (I know, I know u guys already watch it, but this movie only land to our shore this month)

Weird

My heart is aching..
Feel like crying...
Missing something...

or is it someone?

Damn u hormone.

Tales of the Ex Part iii

Should we still be friends with our ex(es)?

That's the topic on Fly FM Pagi Show this morning. Apparently, Nadia tried to contact his ex, you know just to know how's he doing and everything, but, her ex seems reluctant to pick up his phone.

I've been thru 3 major break-ups.

1st - It's a mutual decision. And we still remain as friends just like before we're a couple till now.

2nd - Quite messy. Involved a near car crash incident. Just to describe how bad it was. So yeah, we lost contact.

3rd - It's an ON-OFF relationship for years. But in the end, I put an ultimatum. No phone calls, no meet ups, no nothing. I don't want to be in contact or be involved with this guy anymore (oh, unless he wants to pay his debt (in which I doubt), then it's ok laa kot).

So, to me, I think it depends on how the break-ups were to determine whether we can remain as friends with our Ex(es) or not.

But eventually, life must go on, aight?

Google PageRank

Seriously, how on earth can I increase my pagerank? It seems all my effort all this while are useless. This blog still have no PR.

I have another blog, initially the PR is 3/10. But suddenly, the last time I checked, the PR is not available anymore.

Come on Google, show us some mercy!!

Tales of the Ex Part Deux

Let say, my ex & I still in good terms. We still contact each other. As friends, obviously.

But the situation is, I'm already in a serious relationship and he in the other hand is recently single (just divorced).

All this while, my bf seems OK with me befriend with my ex. His reason: I'm happy with you, I trust you. And after all, he's married aight? And I know u will never ever agree to be a 2nd wife.

Fine.

But now, my ex is single again.

So, the question is: If you're my BF, will u still allow me to still keep in touch with this ex? Knowing that, MAYBE I had something to do with his divorce?

Surround System

My car is currently equipped with VCD player. However, due to difficulty on finding VCDs nowadays and of course DVD offer better quality, I'm thinking of upgrading it to a car DVD player.

So, how to choose for a car DVD Player? Shopwiki has the answer. We can make decision based on our budget to get the cheapest car DVD Player systems.

I'm still weighing whether to buy the all-in-one system which fall under the Budget option or the In-Dash Receiver. But, I think I'll opt for Sony DVD-FX701.

Tales of the Ex

I've stopped replying to any of ur YM msgs or your smses.
I've deleted you from my Friends list and from my phonebook.
I stop picking up the phone everytime you call.
Still didn't get the signal??
I don't want to be involve with you anymore.
I don't want to know anything about you. Or your family. Your work (or the lack of it?). Or any of your scandals.
You don't have to remind me about your father's birthday. I never wish him when we're together, why should I wish now?
And definitely there's no need for you to know anything about my life, family or my relationships.
I feel content with what I have in my life now. And you're not a part of it.
Thank you.

Bliss
