went to school at 3:45am,
picked ian up on the way.
most of everyone was there already.

teachers who were chaperoning us were
Mr Sara, Mr Suresh - boys
Ms Hoo and Ms Tai -girls

we went in 2 buses.
one for the guys, the other for the girls.
we departed to the airport at 4:10 am ish.

wannabe pui yi s for the day.

reached the LCCT, first time there
we all got checked in,
suprisingly everyone brought along their IC.
we had 10 minutes left to our flight which was at
6:30am if im not mistaken.

the flight took 2 and a half hours.
was alrite, even if air asia has a bunch of negative reviews.

people played with cards.
some with the vomiting bags.
you know who you people are.

reached KKIA at 9:30 am.
had some complications with a lost luggage.
that kinda delayed the trip a bit.

right pic: our extremely green bus, literally.
we had a good bus driver. we were always ahead of the boys,
even if we made a bunch of pit stops.

right after the airport,
we headed of to the sabah museum.
weren't allowed to take any pictures
museum policy. =/
giant whale bones, stuffed possums,
ceramic pottery, wang pokok pisang etc.
Later, we had our lunch at the first beach cafe.
buffet lunch. it's a nice place as it was placed near the beach,
it's one of those rare scenes in malaysia
where you see any trash in sight,
all you see is tiny holes and sand balls made by the crabs.



we had our lunch.
teachers gave us like some time to stroll around.

caught a crab =D
then freed it back into the sea,
even if it did try to pinch me.


along our way to our next destination.
we hit some sort of road block.
there was a jam because of some construction
so that took some time.
that means loads of time to take pictures of people sleeping. =D


pic left: but no worries cou* headprefect*gh has come
to the rescue to entertain us.


i now have pictures of everyone in the bus sleeping. xP
well cept the bus driver.


yayasan sabah
malaysia's very own leaning tower of pisa.
proceeded to the next destination-
Pekan Nabalu
that place practically sold everything there was in the airport.
good thing was that here, you could haggle.

what made things easier was that,
every single of them 15 something stalls,
sold the exact same thing.
"there was this thin bamboo musical device thing that this lady
wanted to sell to me, she demonstrated it by putting
it into her mouth.
There were only a few she was selling,
so that kinda made it easier for me to steer away from her.
a giant toothpick like thing covered in spit isn't worth rm15. =/"

later we took a 2 hour journey up to the place were stayin at,
kinabalu pine resort.
reached there around 5:30pm,
we explored the place while the teachers checked us in.

ben could so model.
was supposed to bunk with yuen yee,
but we decided that we'd be better off with more people,
so bunked with gui fen, carmen at cabin L1.
the sky turned dark around 6:30pm.
others showered, while others waited outside playing pop-pops.

we had steamboat for dinner at the resort itself.
and then the night begins...
Kinabalu pine resort is the best 2 star place you can find up there.
it's cozy, with the cold air and woody cabin feel.
well the backdoors and creepy bathrooms were kinda creepy though.
the space is big and they have huge patios.
pefect for a huge number of people to tell ghost stories. (led by ms hoo)
damn scary wei, everyone didn't dare sleep alone after that whole gathering,
and after we were told by one of the guards that someone was buried there.
"we were going all the way up the hill,
when ian started saying that there was some uknown person walking up too,
and freaked himself and myself too.
so we ran back down screaming. hahahahah"
morning came. woke up at 5:55am.
missed the sun rise. but the view was just as good after that.
the view at the L1. was just awesome.




packed up, had breakfast.
next stop.


we went to the hotsprings and the canopy walk.

i didn't know there was gonna be trekking involved.
was wearing long sleeves, and a bag hiking up the hill.

canopy walk was closed at bridge 3.
so we walked over and walked back.


went back to the pine resort for lunch.
we skipped the kundasang war memorial.
i think there wasn't enough time.

the guide made a stop at a local market.
bought pamelo. =D
we were spose to go back the kinabalu park.
we did, but it was rainin too much for trekking,
so we just skipped and headed to the exhibition hall
to see more stuffed monkeys.

went to tanjung aru seafood restraunt for dinner.
prawns, crabs, lalas... etc.


left: chiang lin here likes lalas, a lot... o_O look at that stack

stayed there for day 2.




room 613 was cyber cafe central.

and the snacks. XP
the guys from 4M were pampering us there.
they had loads of food, internet connection,
a tablet pc AND TEKKEN 2!

we slept at 2:10am. fell alseep after
watching how martha stewart made potato chips.
woke up at 6am. got ready and headed down for breakfast at 6:40am.
checked out and set off to the
Filipino market at 8:30am.

pui yi staring at a couple of islands.
she was saying that she wanted to go to the manukan island.
