And FYI,everyone please go give your showers a kiss of appreciation because this was our shower for the entire trip and mind you,people brush their teeth and spit into the same place.
WARNING:
LONG post and MANY MANY MANY MANY UNGLAM PICTURES.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNNNEDD.
Ok,so the "first day" of the trip, I woke up to pack and then headed down to my Godma's house to meet there and go to Senai airport together. I was there at 1 and we only left a 4. That is also to equivilent to 3 hours wasted.
And! We were supposedly supposed to take a LIMO. Well,the limo looks like the second and third picture in the first row of this image. RIGGGHHHHTTT. And actually they arent exactly wrong because in Malaysia,that kind of car is considered a limo;oh wellllll.
Had some food at the airport and had a two hour super boring flight on budget Air Asia. The immense boredom caused the two boys beside me to fall asleep very unglam-ly and good thing they didnt sleep much and spared me of their sleeping images. AHAHAHAHAH! The Sabah airport is VERY EXCITING! Its the last picture on the above image and yes, that IS it. AHAHAHAHHAHAH!
We reached the house at about 10,so the first day wasnt really a first day except that we went to have some great food at a excellent restaurant. It's good to have family in Sabah to guide you to the good food,hahah! We had APPARENT meetings after dinner and planned the next day's activities. As you can see,Jasper is VERY BORED,except for the last picture.
And this is the wonderful house i've been going to for the whole of my life. Though i spent 10 days there,i never got the homesick feeling i get everytime is just use another house's toilet which is amazing for those who know me well. It smelt and looked exectly the same just that it was super dirty,many lights were spoilt and the carpeted floor in my grandparents' room was removed. I really miss that carpeted floor! Used to jump on my sis' stomach there when i was young and REALLY FAT. x)
The swing is super super memorable to us kids cos we used to sit on it and about six of us could fit on it without any danger but now when four of my guy cousins sit on it,it would shake and feel like its going to fall apart. YES WE'RE FAT NOW. AHAHHAHAHA!!
Next day,went out toe at and just take a look at the place and NO we didnt follow the plan that we planned furing the meeting. We took a super big car and that was ten times more of a limo then that supposed limo.
Went to eat at some family's friend's place and they had the super delicious ice cream soda! Cant find it in Singapore sadly. It's really really nice so just bear with the bad spelling. HAHA.
Sabah has some great sites;their oceans are pretty nice and we were lucky cos we went there at the right time of the day where the sun is about to set;it was really nice=]
The next day,we went to PULAU. Off the main island of Sabah there are a few islands with beach resorts there so we decided to go snorkling and stuff.
Conclusion about speedboats: VERY VERY UGLY HAIR.
Uncle mura ound a grasshopper and we were all freaked out and only kester dared to hold it. awhawhhawhaw!
JUSTIN PRETENDING:
JASPER REALLY SLEEPING:
JUSTIN REALLY SLEEPING:
Next day,I woke up,looked at my watch and decided to take a picture of the three sleeping logs on the bed at 12pm. AWHHWHAWHWAH. Yes,they let me sleep on the floor.
Well,we went shopping for the next two days and look at the second picture in the first row;apparently thats one of their best shopping centres,looks abit like far east+lucky plaza. But the prices aint that great somehow,i was quite shocked and because of those prices,i didnt buy much,just a shirt i got for less than 20 sing.
They went to some cafe to eat and i made a face (again)!
The next day,we woke up quite early to set off to the mountain resort but before that we went to eat again. My mum,aunts and uncle saw this tree and got really excited and apparently they used to pluck the little fruits (they look like grapes) and suck whatever flesh of the fruit that is present in them. Im not sure if they're called jelly with a bad pronounciation or if it's really called CHE LI. [last three pictures]
Had a BBQ and by 6.15 it was this dark.
Then after eating and everything i was quite bored at seeing the guys play black jack so i went into the room and found my mother laughing hysterically so i asked them what was so funny. My cousin,Kimberly,the one below holding the little toy thing that was given to her,cant pronounce words very well. My mum and aunt were trying to teach he how to say alarm clock (because the toy she's holding is an alarm clock) but she kept saying alarm cock and it was quite amusing because the way she was trying to learn and correct herself was quite amusing.=]
And this was where i slept! No,not on the bed on the extreme right. I sleep in between these two boys and on the first night,Justin punched me in his sleep. Rah. But i guess it was ok because i kept using the both of them as bolsters the entire night and hugged them through the night due to the lack of space for me to sleep well. AHAHAHAHHAHA!
Ok! We then went to the hot spring the next day. Well,I dont know if my expectations were too high or something but i expected something like the onsen you would see in Japan hour you know,something soothing and nice! But no! Not in Sabah. Their hotsprings are a pretty name for public toilet with a lot of hot water.
At first we were quite reluctant to get in but we washed the thing and went in in the end;wasnt half bad! ahahah!
At night,we went back and just slacked,well we slept la and woke up at night to explore the place. The adults went for some foot reflexology thing and this is how my mother looked through the treatment.
AWHAWHAWHHAWHAWHAW!!! So funny. We then had ice cream although it was so cold already;we found it quite invigorating thought the ice cream sucked. Then me and my two cousins,along with my aunt and uncle spent most of the night talking any playing witha rubber band but the rubber band snapped in the end.
Next morning,we checked out and headed to see the rest of the mountain area. We went to the museum about Mt Kinabalu and walked around National Park. We saw a fake rafflesia flower but i guess we had to be satisfied with just that because the actual flower grows at the top of the mountain in which we didnt have the fitness and time to climb. sighhh.
And yes thats Jasper on his dad's back. I dont know how my godpa managed to carry him!
We had some kids gathering at our old meeting room after dinner,brought back quite a lot of memories=]
And that was my last day. I kinda miss it. Because im probably never going to see that house again and this would probably be the last time where all the kids would gather cos we aint going to be kids for much longer. Though it wasn't the best holiday but we all enjoyed the company,even if it was smacking flies together. Maybe thats why they cried when we left..
