Memoirs of Sabah
Thursday, January 12, 2006
Just the other day, we were joking around and juggling the possibility of visiting sean in sabah. We said that if all goes well, we would pay him a visit and he would bring us around. Well, about 3 months has passed and today that trip would come to pass. This would be my first time going to east Malaysia. Needless to say, i was estatic. However, my joy didnt last for long as Sean was unable to book a place in Mount Kinabalu for us. Oh well, he still promised loads of fun and visits to the local pulau's. We departed KL on 4/1 at bout 2030. Air Asia was the airline of our choice becaouse of its comfort, cabin crew and facilities....YEAH RIGHT!!...the plane was awful, the crew were all males and the only in-flight entertainment we had was the safety manual...i guess this is what you get flying on some budget airline.
Upon reaching KK, we were bewildered by how small the airport was....no bigger than jason's living room. We waited for our luggage and in the mean time, we were looking out for sean...no sign of him amongst the crowd waiting outside the arrival hall. We deduce that due to his er...how do i put this....er...proportionality constant we were unable to see him. Thankfully, he kept to his words and was waiting for us outside the airport.Sean showed us his version of the pussy wagon and ive got to say its really Purr-iffic. Sean said that he lives in beverly hills and that was going to be where we live for the next week. We laughed and thought he was joking. After a stop for supper in the local mamak and drinkin the famous "teh Madras" we proceed to our nestling ground. To our surprise, the appartment we were staying in was really name Beverly Hills...lol...damn these sabahans..no other names ar....anyway, whatever happen after that was history, the whole trip was filled with laughter and joy and it was one hell of an experience. I cant go thru it all in detail as im writing this about 3 weeks after the trip, so heres a quick synopsis:
Day 1:
i think we drove around KK city and book our lodge for accomadation in Mt Kinabalu hereafter known as The One We Conquered (TOWC). Memory of day 1 was vague and i could only remeber sean saying, " this is the hospital where i was born" while pointing to a night club...hahah...nah, jokes...pointing to some hospital which i have forgotten the name..sorry sean
Day 2
Ate some sabah famous dumpling, grill lamb, sotong and sting ray
Day 3
Ate, sleep, shit and met up with sean's GF (haha...only thing i remembered...sorry sean)
Day 4
Went to the pulau and did some snorkelling with sean's sister (sorry sean) and banana boating also with sean's sister (sorry sean).
Day 5
Ate sabah's famous seafood and witness a baboon playing with the only toy he has....Clubbing at night!!! woohoo!!...cant remember anything...WOOHOO!!!
Day 6
Climbed TOWC and reached the summit. After about 10 freakin hours, 5 panadols, sean's snoring throughout the night, all was worth it!!!!
