CoraL oF ThE WorlD: final year trip in Sabah

In a blink of an eye, 4 years had passed. Unbelievable, I had experience on so many outrageous activities that might not be tried by most peoples. Yup! It is my pleasure to have the opportunities to expose to those activities that might not be found in most places. I am so proud to say that I felt so lucky to be in Sabah in the past 4 years and I will still visiting Sabah whenever I am available. I still miss Sabah~~~!!! It is a real nice place. For those who doesn’t have any common knowledge about Sabah would said, "going to Sabah means going to jungle, and peoples live on tree”. Oh ….so naïve. Hey…please la…no more people live on tree ok….jungle sure still have la..but Sabah especially Kota Kinabalu are as developed as the others city in Malaysia. All the time in Sabah, especially final semester, was my most extreme semester for me. I still remember I have lots of assignment to do and continue to sit for my final exam but I still able to spare my study week time to get my diving license that I eager to get since 3 years ago. Finally I went to dive. Even my wish is going to Pulau Sipadan to dive, but no choice la..Not yet found a diving buddy, time matter and money matter. Diving is really fun. Can see coral and fishes in near distance, if possible, you may softly touch it too. Felt the buoyancy in the water was so relaxing. Forgetting the tense of life.

never forget to posing even in the water

wa~~~sea cucumber~~~

After final exam, my brother came to Sabah. His first time visit to Sabah. Of course, I once again be tour guide. Start with crocodile farm. There will be crocodile show, traditional dance show and there will have life crocodile and snake available for you to touch.

i think i have capture photo with this crocodile few times before

Next destination, I take a chance to bring my brother to some of the island in Tunku Abdul Rahman Park. Hehehe……….this time, I choose Pulau Manukan and Pulau Mamutik. Once reach the jetty of the island, first thing what we can see in the water was a group of fishes. Uncountable. I just went there to snorkeling. First time going to Pulau Mamutik to snorkel, I just realize that the coral in that island really grow too near to shore. I can see coral even the water just at my waist level (I am not tall only ba..). Even I went for snorkeling,, I can see that the coral just one meter away from me but some area, I am so worry my stomach might crash the coral. Honestly, not too many species of coral in Pulau Mamutik, but I will still get a nice view under the water of Pulau Mamutik.

u pandai u count all those fishes

zoom in the fishes zoom~~zoom~~zoom~~~

these were the most scariest animal of the sea especially when they in a big big group

Non-stop trip really get my brother sick when we continue our trip to Tip of Borneo in Kudat. we also visiting the ostrich farm near Kota Belud (actually quite far from KB). Finally I have chance to step to the tip hahahaha. Nice place…. all the stone there, sculptured by the waves and wind. So unique.

in ostrich farm...can have a ride on ostrich one~~~

wall climbing at The Tip of Borneo~~ hahaha

Well, I felt guilty for making my brother sick because of a super packed schedule of his trip to Sabah, I emptied 2 days for him to have enough rest. What a good sister I am hahaha furthermore I have others thing to do. Some more, I wait for my friends to comes to Sabah before going to the next activity.

Finally, the day had come. Time for RAFTING!!! Hahaha most extreme. Our group-13 peoples include me have to sign an agreement paper that we will responsible for any loses of material or life during the activity. Wa…seems like we playing with our life. We travel from Kota Kinabalu to Tenom by bus for three hours. Then the surprise thing is we have to travel from Tenom to the starting by using trolley on the train railway. And the trolley was moved by using human energy that was just using a stick to push (we all travel on the trolley for more than 45 minutes). Rafting…I don’t know how to describe..just see the photo and try to feel it hahahaha

P/S for more information, one side of my sandal was tearing off when I fall into the river. I estimate I was under the water for 10 second, can't breath and keep roll and roll by the waves. No warning for you when you will fall into water. Hahahaha shock!

SEE~~~!!! we ride on this thing to the starting point!

"what ever situation, always look to the right and smile~~~"(this is what the guide always remind us)

always sensitive to the camera~~ hahaha

our boat...doing flying fish...

end up with capside-ing....see~~ 5 boat, only 4 are normal....my boat always terbalik one...haiz...i also don't know where am i...

Saturday~~ a day before going to Mount Kinabalu! I pleased my friend to bring me to see turtle. Thanks to him to spare his time to bring there~~ “Thanks KISH~~ finally first time in my life I could see turtle~~hahaha”

sea snake.....i think not poisonous gua~~

wah~~~finally i see turtle~~first time in my life~~~this turtle keep slap my hand using its 'fin'

Last trip, going to mount climbing. So sad. It is bad weather. First day just drizzle. But second day I thought, we all can see sun rise at the peak but still raining and the wind…so strong~~even I am a heavy group human, I still felt I would be blown off by the wind hahahaha. All the way to the peak, what in my mind was just want to give up. I felt I am so tired, lost energy and felt so old!! But congratulation, even at the age 24, I still reach the peak and still have chance to capture photo with my brother and other friends on the mountain hahahahaha. no one can stay on the peak longer because drizzle+strong wind= damn cold. Our hand gloves were 1 kg weight, -filled of water…hahaha make all of us just shivering. Our raincoat never leaves our body. Even some of my group member gotta use rubbish bag to replace raincoat since his raincoat totally tear off. Reminder for all-never go for mount climbing when raining season. Super suffer.
