Yes, been there, done that, no regrets.
To be given the chance and opportunity to travel to Sabah with my friends, I am always thankful for that.
My friends and I, total 6 of us, me, Jia Huei, Tat, Kee, Yong Cheng and Sabahan Ivan went for a Sabah adventure from 8th July - 14th July 2017. All credits to Ivan for planning and organizing most of the things, with me helping a little bit here and there.
Actually it was me that wanted to go to Sabah, to explore this wonderful place at least once if I have the chance , and what could be better than going there when I have a Sabahan friend . Initially, I only planned this with Ivan. If you know me well, I'm not that kind of person that travels in group, I tend to enjoy single-moments and definately did not plan to get another 4 on board and the thought of planning and preparing everything that have to suit so many people and to achieve everyone's desire is quite daunting. But, somehow news spread out and somehow slip from my mouth, so we end up going there - 6 of us. And that could not had been better. 6 is a great number, and sometimes its the number 6 that makes everything go on so smoothly.
Thank God for good friends and considerate pals for taking care of each other, accomodating each other and for every other instances that occur along the trip. I don't really remember much but I have made a video so if anyone, ANYONE that is reading and would be interested to know what I did in Sabah. Click on the link under this blog.
One of the worse thing that happened in Sabah is during the trip to Kudat, on our way to the Tip of Borneo. I got a stomachache and could not hold it any longer that I have to go to a stranger house and borrow their toilet!! Bucket list achieved??!!! That must be one of those moments I will look back and hopefully still able to smirk about.
To experience the sunset at Tip of Borneo, it wasn't the most beautiful sunset but it was magnificent enough. To hear the breeze and water lapping, to hear the clamps making weird noise and get all excited for every baby crab that I saw, I would not have trade it for anything. To experience all this with my buddies, it makes every moment even more precious.
First time Star-gazing and it was tons of fun.
First time Star-gazing and it was tons of fun.
Kundasang, the place where we stayed, we got the view of Kota Kinabalu Mountain directly from our room window. The chilly air, the freezing cold water, the morning barbeque moments, drinking alcoholics liquid moments, the visit to the Kundasang Dairy Farm under drizzling rain while trying not to get suffocate by the smell of cow dunk, it was those tiny moments I think will be printed into my long term memory.
Mahua waterfall, where the water freezes your body and your legs get hurt from the stones under your feet. If I ever visit here again, I think I will not go into the water again, maybe just letting the water lap my feet will do. Neverless, it was a great time getting the whole tiny waterfall all by ourself.
I think when you travel, your eyes catched beautiful things even more quickily, and your fingers pressing the camera even more vividly, I am learning and trying even harder to capture those images into my eyes rather than into my camera.

so enjoy.
Till then,
Cheers.
