kk trip

this is just random random random.it's been a week since kk trip and my thoughts are slipping from my brain.cue:no exam,no need brain.

touch down in airport,went out,no electricity.geng!in fact kk area is experiencing a black out that includes centropoint...hmmm no generator ah?

our condominium is so good.clean nice and location-wise,it's basically walking distance to everywhere.interested?we stayed in marina court.beside promenade hotel.just beside,there's one seafood restaurant.however,i didn't go try out.instead we went to a very expensive place called portview.it's very very very de expensive.(i went to another place called gaya seafood restaurant where only locals know as it's in the middle of somewhere,crabs plus prawns plus shells-dunno-wat-its-name plus absolute deliciousness and cost the same)

at the waterfront,there a line up of restaurants,bars and 1 club.quiet oops quite a cool place to hang out but it's a bit quiet there...not really alot of people and the price are cheaper compared to kl.very very very attractive to those who jus wants to enjoy a relaxing night with cool sea breeze.according to my father,it used to be very smelly there with lots of rubbishes in the sea.looks like it changed for the better!

on the second day we went to climb mt kk!ok not exactly climb first.we went to kaki bukit to rose guest house.like its namesake,there are lots of roses there.we went to poring hot spring and canopy walk.then at night we slept early to get up early to go to the gathering place where we start our climb.

climbing mt kk is truly an experience.i can see why my dad climbed mt kk 3 times(though now he said he's getting old and doesn't want to test his muscles).i climbed, paused, take in the scenery, climbed again.it's so breathtaking.all the muscles pain are worth it.it is also there,i experienced my first muscle cramp on the way to the peak.nearly cry with pain.i didn't take lots of photos also bcos of the stupid pain.but i did take in the scenery.the fresh mountain air with thin oxygen which doesn't really help much and just caused me to breathless.or is it my poor stamina?hahaha my sleeping hours got jumbled up up there too.slept at 8am wake up at 2am.then some more got a bunch of people outside making a racket of noise.feel like strangling them with my long john but i got no energy to move an inch.do not put muscle pain medication in cold weather.bad bad bad idea bcos ur whole body is so cold,u can't even sleep.although i don't have muscle pain,the cold cold cold is enough.

climbing down time is such a fast experience.by that time,my muscles are sending chemical signals to my brain about lack of oxygen and accumulation of lactic acid.each steps stimulates pain receptors.the entrance of the park where the bus gathers never look so beautiful before...

dirty us went back to kk to bath and rest.with jason in tow,we went to eat seafood!thanks alot jason!finishing off the night with a drink at the waterfront.

the early next morning,we went to manukan and sapi island.for those who don't want to go mountain climbing,this cannot be missed.the water is so clear and the beaches are so beautiful.i think it's the combination of small small islands that make the scenery so pretty.our guide are so good to give us tips and guides where to snorkell.of course those who snorkell are those who are so crazy they don't even feel the pain of climbing mt kk.

that's all i remember for the first 5 days.

the next 3 days,i have been eating seafood non-stop.everytime my father's friend said let's go makan,sure enough,there will be steamed prawns and crabs on the table.i eat so much crab/prawn that i feel like a crab/prawn myself.hahahahaha in fact i go vege for the next two days in my relative's house in keningau.not exactly vegan,coz i ate wantan mee with scrumptious dumplings and super duper soft duck meat in one coffee shop.deliciousness!went there for breakfast the next 2 days.hahahaha

another thing i love about sabah is their lemon tea.they put 5 freakin slices of lemon(real yellow lemon.not limau mind you).heavenly~~where can u find that in peninsular malaysia?

oh and the road from kk to keningau are very scenic also!feasting my eyes but unfortunately car sickness took over with mind-boogling effect(ie closing eyes trying to think of something else).
