kinabalu, the land below the wind

on the 3rd day in kk.

everyone suffered fr a severe leg pain after the mount walk. the legs got numb as if they were going to fall apart. so we pampered ourselves wiv a full body massage at centre point. the parlor was nice, but some irritating noises just spoilt the whole quiet ambiance. there was one poor lady, burst out laughing and yelling cuz she was ticklish during the massage. truth is, she earns sin dollar, purposely went there to waste money!!

at the tanjung aru beach.

i adore pantai bisikan bayu much more.

cute gangster lian. takuuut... nah, she is the rich lady i mentioned.

as ayu as ever.

heading to waterfront, filipino market, bla bla bla...

the apprentice. you wonder why lian is not here? she was eliminated in the 1st round.

posing lah...

four of us.

yean wiv her hamsap face, looking at ahboy.

mt. kinabalu: the thrills and chills

after an overnite break at laban rata, we woke up at 2am in the morning, continued hiking, hoping to get to the summit before sunrise. the breakfast provided was so-so, i mean, who on earth would hav appetite for such food at such wee hours btw? anyway, mek lian din join us, she was sleeping like a log, half dead after the first 6km plus trek. gila!!

i so regretted bringing this trenchcoat.

gimmick ok. ahpak's daughter was trembling in fear.

but when it comes to photo session, we must pose, kao-kao, for heaven knows reasons!!!

yean and me din make it to the top. so there is no photo for mt. kinabalu summit. the cert we got was colorless.

8 degree celsius. ok-lah. but kinda hard to breath.

thats our hostel which the electricity will be cutoff during curfew hours.

excited us going downhills.

we love masculine guys=P

macho or not?

wiv our guide, lola. god knows how painful our legs were.

on the way to poring hotspring, each of us was conned to pay 10rm to see this half-dead rafflesia.

mt. kinabalu walk

started our journey in early morning to mt. kinabalu.

jamming in the car. yeah!! yeah!!

tamu, an open-air market at dunno what village and bought a hand of bananas.

taken in front of this stall selling grilled wildboar meat. the smell was... sickening... yucks!!

at the foothills. map of kinabalu park complex in background.

at one of the rest stops, the place we got ourselves re-energized!! we were actually kinda afraid that the chocolate and energy bars we brought would be finished off like that. then everyone became damn so thrifty.

giant worm.

drizzling, in our raincoats. truth is, we were afraid of leeches.

this walking stick cost us 3rm each. yean's umbrella looked more practical.

ok, the journey continued!! everyone was dead tired upon reaching the hostel at laban rata. so we were not in the mood for photos. bah!!!

kinabalu welcomed us

we got dirt cheap tickets to kota kinabalu and everyone was kinda excited waiting for the day to come. knowing airasia's practice, the earlier you book, the cheaper airfares you get. but normally, most of the time, cheap price doesnt come wiv good quality. so few hours before departure, we were informed that our flight has been retimed. retimed means delayed. for wth they use the term 'retimed', i hav no idea. we thought our plan was good which 3 of us would depart fr kl, while lian fr jb and we'd meet in kk airport, on the dot of our arrivals. but since our flight retimed, we'd reach kk quite late and our whole plan was spoilt, so lian gottta wait for us. kesian.

kinabalu welcomed us with this song. i hav known this song long long ago fr my sabahan frens. but only started to love it when desmond, a totally irrelevant sarawakian, played it to me in his car. perhaps, i should dedicate dikir barat "wau bulan" to him and the gang too. but hey, i can hum this sabahan song, just googled its lyrics and found this:

Sayang Kinabalu

Tinggi tinggi Gunung Kinabalu
Tinggi lagi sayang sama kamu
biru biru hujung kinabalu
tengok dari jauh
hati saya rindu...

Kinabalu dekat di kundasang
banyak sayur bulih pilih pilih
apa guna pergi luar negeri
naik kinabalu
hati saya rindu....

sumandak sumandak pun ramai menunggu
menari-nari lenggang sumayau sekali
melihat melepak kulitnya
saya jatuh cinta....

sayang sayang sayang kinabalu
kaamatan pesta bulan lima
sayang sayang kita pergi tamu
jalan tamparuli
hati saya rindu....

Kinabalu dekat di kundasang
banyak sayur bulih pilih pilih

apa guna pergi luar negeri
naik kinabalu
hati saya rindu....

sumandak sumandak pun ramai menunggu
menari-nari lenggang sumayau
sekali
melihat melepak kulitnya
saya jatuh cinta....

sayang sayang sayang kinabalu
kaamatan pesta bulan lima
sayang sayang kita pergi tamu
jalan tamparuli
hati saya rindu....

sayang sayang kita pergi tamu
jalan tamparuli
hati saya rindu....
