FOR ME TO POST ABOUT THE SABAH TRIP RIGHT, TEEHEEHEE! ^^

i wasn't planning to update till the photos come. but since i promised girlfriend that i'll blog today, regardless with or without the pictures, so here it goes. oh yes, before starting;

i suggest you all getting some drinks and tidbits for your own, cause this might take a long long long time, based on those people who know me, i do nag and get out of point sometimes. T_T so yeah, i'll be wasting about 5-15 minutes of your time. (:

this shall be part I, while pictures will be from part ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ etc. (:

Day #01! :D 15th November 2008.
woo~ i reached the airport at around 6.40pm like that with my family. proceeded to the meet-up place and saw many sec 2s and sec 4s around. BUT WHERE WERE MY FRIENDS?!?!?! ): LOL, called them and realized that egg was still down at the supermarket with her parents while banana and pebble MIA. WHA, GG LA. @.@

meanwhile, i took photos with my family and my sec 2 squad. (: before we checked in our luggages which took (@*$&@#*@!*!&($^(@#&(!@# of our time. -.- camwhored as one big family before going in.

*SKIP SKIP SKIP* we were waiting for the plane at gate D47. as the plane was *AHEM* budget=x (air asia), we could sit anyhow we like! based on my understanding, all typical singaporeans would be super 'kiasu' and CHIONG AHHHH the moment the plane's ready. =.= so because i was a singaporean as well, ..... (: (you should know what action i'd take)

managed to get a wonderful seat at the back, and it was window seat! :DDD i sat with edwina while roslin and chunluan sat behind us. the whole trip was bumpy and scary, and some of us were nervous that it would crash. *TOUCHWOOD!* and as usual, i had motion sickness. =/

but we landed at kota kinabalu, safely. HENG AHH. [: for the first time, i got to get down using the ladder/staircase/whatever you call it. :DDD and after going through all the immigration, we got ourselves into the bus and got to the hotel to check in. i think it was around 1am already when we got there? so we were extremely exhausted.

room #210 with roslin and chun luan while edwina was just a room away from us! 2 beds, 1 mattress! i was together with the mattress for the first night and oh yes, i bet we were the most weirdest customers around with all the mess we made in the room each day! :B

Day #02! 16th November 2008
OKAY, WE WOKE UP LATE THAT DAY. -.- despite the morning call at 6am. princess egg and princess pebble could still sleep so soundly while poor servant christy had to wake them up. initially i was pretty soft towards princess egg, but upon knowing that we were late{6.53am}, (ps, we were supposed to have our breakfast at 7am), i practically just shaked her up. HAHAHAHAHAHA. :DDDD

CHIONGGG AHH. and got ourselves down by about 7.10am? rushed breakfast which was really good. ^^ and took a bus trip that took 2 and a half hours up the mountain. dozed off on the way but awakened quite a few times as i wasn't used to sleeping in buses. =/ the tour guide was called wilhem? and he leaded us for the trekking trip. i thought it would be fun ...

to shortened the trekking trip (i'd most probably take tenhundredthousand years to finish it), CHRISTY LIM SHIN PEI TREKKED A TOTAL OF 7.3km UP AND DOWN WITHIN 6 HOURS. :DDDDDD
and plus, we were at least, 3.3km above the sea level. x.x and the mountain was 4, 592 m high, highest in SEA. :D

but of course our trekking trip wasn't made easy, we had company. (: remember during sec 3 camp where many people kena leeches and i was one of the "heng heng" ones who didn't get it? alright, this time, they got us-.- we didn't see it coming.

and it's really disgusting. if you wanna know how it looks like, you can always google the pictures. :D SUPER STICKYYYY AND IT SUCKS YOUR BLOOD LIKE SOME VAMPIRE! ): oh, but i was really special, REALLY SPECIAL.

while most of them got leeches on their legs, i had a total of 7 leeches on me. T_T and out of 7 of them, i had 3 leech bites. those that didn't bite me was the 2 on my shoe, 1 on my left leg(GONNA SUCK ALR, LUCKY SIAH) and 1 on my finger-_- WAIT, but the ones that really GOT ME, was 1 on my right leg (!) , 1 on my back (!!!), 1 on my .... NECK (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) WTH SIAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ):

so next time, if you all are going on trekking or somewhere with mud, please bring salt as it would kill the leeches immediately and ease your pain! oh yes, quite a few times, we almost slipped down the mountain! X.X

as everything was delayed, (from about 3hours-6hours?!) we had our super-late-lunch at 5.30pm and i didn't managed to go for the hotsprings partly because i was lazy and i was afraid the leech bite might hurt-.-'

by the time we got onto the bus, which was around 6pm, the sky was as dark as Singapore's 8pm! O.O and seriously, i'm impressed with the bus uncle who managed to get down the hill without street lights! O: despite all the mist and the fog. if i was the driver, i'd most probably bump into some tree and just die. T_T LOLLLLLLL, *TOUCHWOOD!*

upon reaching the hotel, we had our dinner, 9pm! -.- after, we proceeded to 7-11 for some small snacks and rested back at our rooms. we didn't really managed to join edwina they all as we were like 30minutes late by the time we were done, LOL. so we slept. (: roslin slept with the mattress that day.

Day #03! 17th November 2008.
we weren't late this time! ^^ thanks to my alarm clock and edwina's morning call which caused to stare at the ceiling for the next 30 minutes as i wasn't able to sleep anymore-.- so at 7.30am, poor servant christy called princess egg and princess pebble up again. =/ (sian, always kena bullied, LOL.)

breakfast was wonderful and we took our time to pack up as we only had to assemble at 9am. we then bused to the kiulu river where we had our white water rafting. it took us around 1 and a half hour to get there? (:

got our helmets, life vests. safety talk *SKIP SKIP* then the next thing i know it, i was sitting on the same raft as roslin, chunluan, edwina and miss poh. we had 2 instructors, jack mainly in charge.

i thought sitting in the middle would be super disadvantageous but instead, i was super lucky as when other rafts splashed us with water, the front and back would protect me, LOL. :DDD all i had to do was to keep on rafting, rafting, rafting. :XXX

we stopped at a certain point of our 7km journey and did body rafting, meaning to raft down a certain part of the river which had rapids that send us ZOOMINGGGGGG down the water. :D but in the process, my back got hurt as 2 rocks knocked into it. ):

and then we continued, and we saw many guys falling out the raft. i can't help but laugh. =x but overall, i really had lots of fun. but the fun was so so short, as compared to the 6hours EXTREME HIKING. ._. the lunch provided was not bad, no flies at least! (^.^)v

after changing and getting back to the hotel, we went shopping! :DDD as edwina and roslin got too engrossed into looking at clothes, chunluan and i decided to go to another shop to buy soveniors for family and friends. (: then everything went haywire when we lost edwina and roslin. and they lost us.

in the end, they actually used a very very embarrassing way to find us-.-' through the PA system, O.O

*GONG, GONG*
speaker: attention all shoppers, can i have your attention please.
*chun luan and christy walks on like nothing has happened*
speaker: can chun chun, *pauses*, chun luan and bei bei(._.), please come down to the information counter now. thank you.
*chun luan and christy shocked tio, stares at each other and laughs all the way down the escalator*

i guarantee i would never have the face to step into that shopping mall again la! T_T wlao eh, the "best" part is that our teachers were there also. -.- DAMN PAISEH CANNNNNNNNN! ._.

this time, we finally managed to play. but sadly, my body wasn't willing to co-operate so in the end, half the time, i was lying on the bed, half-asleep. =.= oh yes, i must say this scene, roslin super paiseh la. we were watching this tv show at that point of time.

*phone rings from the television*
roslin: edwina, your phone's ringing, go pick it up.
*edwina and i thought of it as a joke from roslin, as usual*
edwina: roslin, from tv lei. you still joking about it.
*roslin shocked and giving that "OMG, I'M WRONG FACE". upon realising she was wrong, she paisehed*
*edwina and i laughed our heads after that. xD

played abit of uno, and crapped alot with the sec 2 girls. this time, we slept super early, around 11+pm? :D chun luan slept with the mattress on the last night. teeheehee. :D

Day #04! 18th November 2008.
last superb breakfast! ): checked out of the hotel and firstly, we went to the market where i bought many crackers for my parents! :D after that, we went for lunch which totally made me gain back all the calories i lost for rafting and hiking-.- the food that was given to us was never-ending. O.O

then, we proceeded to this museum where we learnt the history of Sabah, haha. talking about it, something funny happened again. because there was this exhibit which had 2 windows and many was crowding it. so i found this secret window at the side which noone noticed. i was thinking of scaring my junior. but in the end ...

*christy stares at junior and smiles like wax statue*
*junior looks away, edwina stared in and got shocked upon looking at me*
*christy laughs for scaring somebody and felt guilty for scaring the wrong person*

it turned out that somebody told edwina that the girl inside was scary. and they were meaning the one on her knees inside. but as edwina stared in, she thought the girl was me and that "girl" had a striking resemblance with christy, so she got shocked. LOL. after camwhoring many times, we bused to the largest shopping mall in sabah? ._., 1Borneo.

i bought chocolate waffle with the rest and seriously, their waffle, the working attitude and the behaviour really super good! :D i was very impressed. and i had fun at the machines, playing photoshoot! LOLLL. ^^

after that, we bused down to the orphanage for cip. i felt really very shy at first as the children weren't really opening up and i'm not the kind who would specially get close to another person unless there's fate, LOL.

we had songs and cheers, and dancing. and it felt really awkward as the only way to communicate with them is through malay. okay, now i regret not learning indonesian language from my mummy. T_T but as time passes, i saw this small little cute girl who seemed shy (unless other children who are bubbly and outgoing) standing at a corner.

so being miss nice(HAHAHAHA), i approached her and tried to make her feel more attached to us. and i managed to do it, somehow! :DD wow, i love her alot can, she gives me ^5 countless times and lets me carry her. :DDD

then before we left, suddenly, another girl run across to me and gave me a ^5 and a hug, i was surprised! HAHA. :D and YAY, edwina thinks i can handle kids well! well, but hazmira and kaiting can handle kids way better. now, i'm thinking why i didn't choose childcare centre as my work attachment plan-.- but it's okay, animals are cute too! ^^

I COULDN'T BEAR TO LEAVEEEEEEEE! ): i hoped i could stay there and be a volunteer to take care of all the children there, esp the little girl! :D CUTE SIAHHHHHHH. (: or maybe i could have adbucted her home! =x oh yes, 1 girl in her teens was in love with xianda such that she did not want to let go of her hand, LOLLLLLLLLLL!

proceeded to the airport and had our dinner at kfc, for free! [: and oh, the plane back to singapore was more crowded than before so as usual, we chionged like mad people and we'd most probably ruin the school's reputation as we were wearing crest tee. ._.

the plane trip back to singapore, seemed like forever. T_T maybe it's because i had motion sickness and this time, i couldn't hold back anymore so i threw up in the end. x.x and surprisingly, we arrived at singapore way earlier than expected. thanks to edwina, roslin chunluan mainly and the rest for your utmost concern! ^^

met up with family and went home. (:

okay, that's the end of .. part I! go ahead and look forward to the pictures yeah! :D whees, outings from next week! I NEED MONEY $$$$$ LOL. :B

why do you do this to me?
