well, the last day of block leave is abt to end in less than 40 min, and i cant help but feel like there’s still so much i have left to do before i’m back to green.

anyway, here’s my promised update of my kk trip! apologies abt the length, i really dun have the time or energy to elaborate much hehe.

day 1: we arrived in kk pretty late, so by the time we got there we onli could explore the city for less than an hr before it was dinnertime. we ended up at some asia city complex thing, which isnt really a complex at all, just an open area with many many restaurants. it was a crazy feast we had that night. our menu consisted of salted egg crab, butter sauce prawn, oyster omelette, satay, sambal kang kong, coconut… madness i tell you. i was so stuffed, but the food was really good. you dun get stuff liddat in army you know (;

day 2:  it was a full day of events that day. we went up mount kinabalu, and then we had a little jungle trek in the nature reserve. the highlight of the entire thing was the canopy walk, which our guide proudly proclaimed it to be the highest canopy walk in the whole of southeast asia. wasnt all that spectacular though, my mom was so afraid of the swaying bridge we had to walk on that she almost cried, so she ended up going back where we came from while my father, sheryl and i carried on. it didnt help that it decided to freaking rain like mad just when we got on the canopy walk, so it was nice and slippery for all 3 of us. the dinner though, was even more insane than the first night. we had crab fried rice, butter prawns, sambal kang kong, scallops, lemon chicken… basically too much freaking food. i took 2 bowls of rice alone, and i left the table feeling so full i felt sick. we still had leftovers after the meal, and all 4 of us were basically groaning "no more, no more…" by then.

day 3: whitewater rafting! ok, so the waters werent really white. but it was still pretty damn good fun for the family, esp since sheryl and i have never really done anything like this before, and my parents really enjoyed their own experience back in new zealand so this brought back some good memories for them. after that, we had a little city tour on the bus, which was a pretty last minute change from our walking tour because of the sudden change in weather as well. the rain just loves irritating us this time of the year huh? no seafood dinner tonight though, freaking sick of seafood by then -.-

day 4: we intended to do the scuba doo at one of the nearby islands, but the prices were so ridiculously expensive that we just ended up snorkelling. i was tasked with teaching sheryl how to snorkel, which wasnt very difficult since i was the one that taught her to swim, but it was the fishes that got to her. honestly, when your sister who’s almost as heavy as you starts freaking out in the middle of the freaking sea, and ends up climbing on top of you to escape from the "icky slimy fishes" even though you dun have a lifejacket and she does, there’s a pretty high chance that you might suffocate and die because your snorkel is filled with seawater and you cant exactly surface for air. but i survived, and so did my sister, so it’s all good.
