" The night air was so refreshing that I didn't want to go to sleep. My wonderful girls were slurping on their Maggies at the dining table and some even by the balcony, waiting for it to cool down. They were laughing and smiling, having a great time with each other and it was already about 2.30am in the morning. I was currently sitting in front of the computer screen that has a lagging internet. It really was the last night that I was going to enjoy. "
Day 1 - Taking off. Say Hello to Kota Kinabalu.
I woke up early just to arrive in time for the 2.30pm flight. My grandfather was the first to hug me and I felt like tearing when he left for work. I was on the way to meet Shikin and Alif tagged along, bumped into Mariana and the others. We got things done in school and went off to the airport.
I was overjoyed when my family stepped in, especially when there was my sisters. They're like my little jewels. Suddenly, I saw a cute couple going down the escalator and it was Ifah and Fad, I was really glad that they could come. When it was time to go, I hugged sisters tight. Tears started to trickle down my cheeks when it was Mum's turn, Dad just made me laugh while crying and it was really a comfort hug from Ifah. Jia Min and Nadiah, oh I love them please. Came in Danial, I felt that I never wanted to let go of him but I just had to cause time was really running.
All of us made way to the aeroplane. I exchanged places with Mr.Rosli as I wanted a window seat while he wanted a seat that really is accessible for him. Pei Xuan and Yini was next to me and Haris was directly behind. Haris and I were really jakun. Haris said that the City of Singapore looked like tiny miniatures and I really got to agree! & I don't know that Haris talks a lot.
Once we arrived Kota Kinabalu Airport, most of us rushed for the toilet. And Shikin ... HAHAH! Okay, forget about it. We had our dinner and checked into Pine Resorts Room. I love love love it! Niki, Yini, Pei Xuan, Shikin and I kept on running in and out of our rooms.
Day 2 - Start of the Trek.
5.30am seems like 7 in the morning. Whoa. We got out breakfast and headed to Timpohon Gate. We started to trek Mount Kinabalu and it was cold! As we go on further, it was getting stuffy and we had our jackets on. I kept on having leg cramps which really sucks a lot. I started to caught up with Niki. And both of us were stuck to Mr Lam, how lucky was that?! We were totally worn out and felt we couldn't go on any further but Mr Lam just pushed us until Laban Rata. Niki and I checked into Buttercup 3, which was with Shamrena, Jia En, Salina and Fahrini.
Day 3 - Reaching the Peak.
I thought of waking up slightly earlier for the trek but I was almost late for it. I had the urge of staying at Laban Rata but I still trekked up ahead. I was really feeling frazzled, what do ya expect? We had to start trekking at 1.30am! pfftt. The girls headed to the boys dorm and all of us started to trek together. So far so good, but suddenly, Alif had a bad headache and Shikin and I together with Syahid trekked up slowly. As we got higher, there was less oxygen, more of the coldness. All of us decided to stick together as one. We rest almost every step that we took as we needed to catch our breath and we got tired easily too.
Whoever didn't reach the top by 6.30am, had to trek back down but by the time we reached the checkpoint, it was already 5.30am. The mountain guide told us that we weren't able to reach the peak in time if we had this phase. Syahid's hands started to "freeze" while I was really sleepy. We decided to not continue as there was not point of going on much further as there was not enough time. So the guide unlock a small room and all of us slept in there.
When it was 6am, we trekked back down and Syahid kept on falling. Like April said," Lu banyak maciam bola la! " HAHA! Syahid suddenly slipped and said that he was only testing -.- What the hell, nak tipu tak agak-agak. LOL! Alif, Shikin, Syahid, April and I enjoyed ourselves being together, it was really fun even though we didn't reach the peak.
Once everyone reached Laban Rata, we trekked down the base. HOORAY! Checked into rooms again and had our dinner. The girls bought some snacks and decided to put on a lil celebration for ourselves as we had overcome the mountain. Shikin, Mariana, Niki, Yini and Pei Xuan and I gathered in Jia En and Shamrena's room. And that was when and where we started our Gossip Club. It was so hilarious! The boys next to the room can hear our loud-ness.
Day 4 - Let's Go ... SHOPPING!
Headed to Poring Hotspring(: It was okay, we only soaked out feets there. And then we spent our time on shopping! Did a couple of stops and April bought for us all kinds of fruits. Was it fruit day or something? We went to a shopping centre and it pretty much looked similar to Peninsula. Only bought a cap. I don't know what else to buy, seriously I don't. The Flea Market was next and since everything was the same. The girls wanted to watch the sunset. And I found cute Sabah boys! But irritating, they threw bananas at us, not just any bananas but ROTTEN ones. Bleargh, damn 6-year-olds. They were even imitating us, but that was funny! Haha.
Afterwards, we checked into a 2 star hostel. Eew. So much for a 2 star. Shikin and Mariana were already knocked out while the others and I were still fresh awake. We watched House Bunny in the living room, 2 of us were using the internet. Ms Rineal and Ms Shaheedah shoo-ed us to our rooms. Grr. But we didn't go to sleep. We talked a lot. We gossiped a lot. It was almost 2.30am in the morning, and some us were feeling a lil bit hungry. Yini had her cravings of having Mee Maggi. I badly wanted to use the computer as I'm feeling like blogging, but freaking hell the internet was super lagging. I just read his blog and suddenly tears were trickling down. 3am and headed back to our room and started talking again. All of us slept at 4am.
Day 5 - Goodbye Sabah.
It was a must to wake up at 6am. It was only 2 hours of rest. I had bread and soy milk for breakfast and wrote some note on the Guestbook. Slept all the way in the bus till I don't know there was a stop for chocolates cause someone just didn't wake me -.- Boarded the plane. I caught Alif making funny faces/disturbing a cute baby. That was weird. But funny, LOL! arrived Changi Airport and Jia Min was the first to hug me! Aww. Hell yea. Reached school and got out certificates(: I was on my way to the bus stop with Haris and Alif and suddenly Jia En was calling me out from Mr Ridzwan's car. Mr Ridzwan sent us home! YAY! Thank you Mr Ridwan. I got home and my sister hugged me. YAY! I love hugs. My grandmother really hugged me for nearly 10 minutes I think. hah, that was cute!
That should be all and now my sister disgustingly wanting me to see her burp -.-
HAHAH! Ok bye.
I missed everyone.
I miss Danial.
