Manukan Island & Sapi Island

Jesselton Point, this is where we departed to the islands.




Jesselton Point at night.




With less than RM 30. One would be able to make it to 2 out of the 5 islands at Tunku Abdul Rahman Park.. (Entrance fee to each park RM3 + life jacket RM 10 + goggle RM10)



Destination #1 Sapi Island






Too high the hope, too high the disappointment. With only limited type of fishes in the water. We decided to play sand human!!



the victim is none other than mr. mighty =D






Looking so peaceful.








18sx ;)
Kids please do not attempt this on the beach.
I wasn't lazy. Just that there's no spade to build this human castle. Thus, we're subject to our feet as spade =p




The result...........

Notice the notty hand. Mr. mighty looking so pitiful being grabbed




How could i loose out when there's......
Free boobs for grab!!




A rare to see stone nipple.




Destination #2 : Manukan Island





Beautiful island.




Beautiful sky.



Beautiful water.




We started of with rounding the island.




Comparing both islands, Manukan has clearer water and more fishes.

Mount KK

At last, i've got the photos!!! The photos i've got!! =D
Its exactly 2 months back, i was enjoying in Sabah but now i've got to get myself ready for EXAMS!! Cruel reality. Cant be playing all the time =(

Anyway, here are the stuff i treasure from Sabah.



A certificate of record and souvenir. My cert wasn't a coloured one. And that's only one reason to that, i did not make it to the top. How sad =( Anyway, the climb is truly a memorable chapter in my life.




Bet some of you must be asking why didn't i conquer the peak?!!
Please do not feel cheated if you have asked me before bout my climb and i told you it was fun. It really was fun, minus the vomiting while ascending the mountain and minus the muscle cramp after descending the mountain. Basically there were TWO question that i've been asked after coming back from KK.

1st question: Hey, How's your climb??

2nd question: Hey, did you make it to the peak??




Firstly, its was one great experience for me. I've seriously never ever walk this long and this far in my entire living days!! Imagine walking for 7 hours in a day!! Thinking bout it now, i have no idea how i made it. LOL. Anyway, a billions THANK YOU to Yuen Cheong who CONTINUOUSLY motivated me up the mountain. I really mean CONTINUOUSLY!!

Sometimes, i cant help but smile on my own when i think of the CONTINUOUS MOTIVATION situation. One great guy who motivated me from the bottom of the mount till Laban Rata. Kept telling me from my back " Keep it up, you can make it", "Keep going, keep going don't stop", " You can make it Sook Yee, you can make it" Theses are the few sentences i kept hearing till i reached the rest house. CONTINUOUSLY FOR 7 HOURS!! How could i not smile when think of it =)



Second answer: i did not make it to the top. Vomiting continuously ascending the mountain was part of the reason and other part of it.... i don't want to drag the group. Being a known thing in the group that im the weakest and most-not-fit, i pulled back. I knew that the rest intended to make it for the sunrise and with my pace. I doubt they can make it. So, i pulled back. (I'm not trying to make myself sounds like a great person sacrificing but this is truly what i thought back then) Regrets?? Of course there is. A small pat on my back. It would be a lie if i say no. Staying positive, i know i can always conquer it in future, knowing that there are friends of mine who ascended more than 3 times!! lol =)




Basically the routes were well path with foot steps. It has been walked on so frequent that its just like any other lorong belakang rumah. What makes it tough is of course that this lorong belakang rumah is ascending up a hill cum the altitude sickness that occured to me. sob.sob..

Altitude sickness is an acute exposure to low air pressure. As the air becomes thinner as we ascend, our body tend to be uneasy and causes vomiting, persistent rapid pulse, headache, dizziness etc. And i vomitted more than 3 times. Keluar all my breakfast, even the liquid that i took while ascending were all out.



Some pictures at 3173.70 metres (Laban Rata Resthouse)





11.9 Celsius in the morning




A total of 6 of us who climbed the mountain. It took me bout 7 hours to reach Laban Rata (3/4 of the mountain) I know I'm slow but there's one thing that i should shout about, i've walk the longest walk so far in my life though i was slow =p








In a nutshell, i had a great time on Mount KK. Climbing with great companion and coming back with great memories.

Growing up

Childhood times at Cherating, Kuantan.

I wish to grow up quickly when i was young. Wanting to be an adult as soon as possible. I remember vividly my cousin brother who wants to grow up quickly too. The only reason. He wants to drive his dad's car. He took his driving license immediately once he reaches the qualifying age. Its so much fun talking bout it now. A child can be so childish.
.
Kids never want to be kids. And now am an adult, i don't want to be an adult so quickly. How indecisive a human can be. For me, driving was not the main catalyst that i wana boom from a kid to an adult. But the going-out license that trigger me. I know im silly. But i bet it happen to you too =p I can still recall, going out of the house was NOT an easy TASK. Its even more difficult than running away form a police traffic. First, you have to give your physical contribution. Be a very nice mummy's gurl out of the blue moon. Do the chores of the house, be a goodie gurl who fold the clothes without being asked, mop the floor as if i so want to do it and wash the car (exaggerated, i don't wash car). Next, you have to ASK!! Ask gently and softly to the authority to grant the permit to go out with your friends. The humour is that after all these hard work, there's no certainty on the permit! Anyway, of course being my mom for years, she ain't blind or stupid to understand the reason behind my goodie act =D I just have to say, who can understand their offspring better than mom??
.

All in All, its not an easy phase for my mom to let me off her hands. Sometimes, there are furious argument over such issue. Growing up of a child would mean losing a child for most mom. Back then i never realised what all these mean. Looking back at it now, i knew it would be lonely for my mom to lose me. Her only companion to go market and shopping for groceries. Her only companion to the bank and have chores done at home. Sigh. I miss those days which my mom will carry my school bag while walking home. How nice it could be if she can still carry my bag in college. Textbooks are heavy. Hahahahh.... I miss those days which my mom and i used to hold hands to cross the road. I know. I know i can still hold my mom's hand now. Once i attempted but failed. She crossed the road even before i can held her hand. LoL.

Palate Palette

Saturday night at Palate Palette.

I'm never tire in searching for thumbs-up dinner place. Personally, a good dinner place would mean yummy food + good service and great ambiance. Although the food in Palate Palatte did not really tickle my taste bud much but the atmosphere certainly did. The restaurant is cozy with painted decorations on the wall.




Thanks to Alvin for the dinner. My belated bday treat =)
.
What more can i ask for. Good atmosphere with laughing companion.
.
To set the record straight, Alvin and i are just good friends.

Rubber safer in a box.

I saw this in Tesco during the weekend.





Its either the theft rate of Durex condom is high in Tesco.

OR




Its Tesco's new way to attract customer's attention.
