It’s the third day in Sabah! We had to pack to stay overnight somewhere in Kundasang! Everyone was very excited over it because the place that we were supposed to stay in had lovely facilities and a place to sing KAROAKE! Once again, we took a long time to get ready and some of us refused to get up from bed. It was like someone went and spread super glue on the bed and you can only be free if you’re mentally prepared for it.
The human hamburger

For those who didn’t wake up, we made a ‘hamburger’ out of them. Ren Ren was the lettuce, Dakeru was the olives or is it soy sauce (I’m not sure), as for the rest, I forgot what they were and I was the unknown ingredient. Oh yes! And not forgetting the doggie as the bun! What a fun way to start the day! =D

As usual, we took a long time to get ready again but luckily this time we had to leave in the afternoon. D Dad took us out to have lunch somewhere and we had the normal chinese dishes like the sweet and sour pork, vegetables, chicken with rice. Then D dad and Rienne started discussing bout the journey so we could be mentally prepared for it.

The journey will be something like the old road to Cameron Highlands and it’ll be 2 hours long. When I heard about it, my heart was about to drop because I’m no good when it comes to those type of roads and I get car sick easily. I really almost died because I didn’t want to cause any inconvenience and make the journey stop halfway through.

After having lunch, I was preparing for the worst in my mind. We even planned that those that can get car sickness will have the middle seats of the car and the rest cramp behind. But, D Dad rotated the car to face the back and in the end we switched seats. So in the end, Rienne and I sat at the sides of the back seats with Ren Ren in the middle. While the rest sat in the middle and ExitZero in the front beside D Dad and yes, ExitZero felt isolated. =D

Before the real journey starts, we had to meet up with D Mom to transfer our bags to her car. Initially the meeting point was at D little bro’s school but in the end we went to a Giant store nearby to meet up. We took this opportunity to buy stuff that we needed and I got myself more mints and some medicated oil to help get rid of the nausea. Now, I’m all set to go! I’m fully equipped and mentally prepared! Kundasang Road, give me your best shot! (Yes, I’m a very lame person)

We bought what we needed and now we had to embark on our journey to Kundasang!

Oh joy I can feel reluctance going in the car now. After getting in the car, I was whimpering a bit just like a small kid but I do that once in a blue moon. But even though I thought myself as being annoying, Phish and rest comforted me and said everything will be fine. I can’t show how thankful I am that everyone put up with my antics and I’m sorry for acting that way.

The scenery along the way was nice and the most amazing thing is the drivers speed up while going up that type of road. It was the kind of speed you accelerate on highways in KL but they go at 40km/h on normal roads. How cool is that! The road was quite alike to the old road to Camerons but it was less extreme. Just like Camerons, the road to Kundasang had lots of mountain dogs too! And everyone in the car especially Ren Ren, Devilene and Phish shouted “doggie!” every time they saw one. Oh my, how much cuter can they get? (referring to Ren Ren, Devilene and Phish)

Look they are enjoying the view too!

The roads were tolerable at first then it became winding and Dakeru, Phish, Hamster and Devilene started sliding side to side due to the sharp bends. It wasn’t so bad at the side I’m sitting. Thank goodness! I would’ve gotten carsick if it did. After halfway through the journey, we had a pit stop to have some durians and mangosteens courtesy of D Dad and D mom.

The pit stop

Before that, there was this tower-like place you can go up to. It can withstand only 15 people’s weight but it looked otherwise because the steps were made out of wood and they were rotting a bit. We were up on the tower for quite some time because we were having a group picture session. And I found an interesting named carved onto one of the pillars.

The view from the tower

Another view

Ding! You went to Sabah before us! =P

Our picture session had to stop when Devilene’s parents asked us to come down to have some fruits. I only had the mangosteen and it was quite sour to my liking but it’s fresh. Everyone had their fair share of fruits and we asked Ren Ren to try eating the durian but she refused and said she tried it before. Haha!

Everyone is enjoying the fruits. Wait! Someone’s missing!

The missing someone whom found a new friend

Doggie: Ah, that’s the spot. Scratch more please? >__<

Surprisingly the mountain dogs are very tame. It did not take long for the dog to be surrounded by the girls and the animal magnet (ExitZero). Ain’t the dog just lucky? The time just passed 5.30pm and we had to make a move before we reached the motel in the copper mine really late. So, we went to wash our hands and got moving!

So far so good, I wasn’t feeling the carsickness but everyone in the car (except D Dad of course) was fast asleep. But when I looked out of the window, it was so misty and the place looked quite eerie like a lost forest in a fantasy land.

The mist

Night time has finally kicked in and D Dad made a short pit stop somewhere and everyone woke up during that short period. Thus, the car was filled with awakened hyper people as they were all recharged. Even D Dad tried to freak those sitting by the side window but failed and we greeted him with the kitty doll. Haha!

After that, the journey started again and we couldn’t find the motel in the copper mine Devilene talked about. In the end we went to another place to stay and everyone cramped into a room, had dinner and cramped together in one room. The end. Yeap this is the short version.

The long version is going to be quite creepy as I am going to write in some details not everyone especially those whom get freaked out by eerie stuff and those don’t want to relive that night. Click to read the long version.

After the pit stop, the journey started again and it was raining quite a bit. D Dad was leading the way and D Mom was following. As soon as I saw the copper mine signboard, I knew something was already going to go wrong. And it just had to be that time of the month where supernatural beings come out to roam and they are most powerful during this period. Well, I thought I’d be used to this kind of stuff by now but I was really freaked out during that time and I wanted to get out there if I could. Therefore, I kept silent and prayed with all my might.

I hope people that are really curious to know or dying to see those beings, please don’t force anything or try anything which causes you to be caught in their realm. We were driving in the godforsaken place for more than half and hour but it seemed like forever. The road was badly maintained and it was so dark it didn’t seem that anyone would live in there but somehow there were cows, loads of cows and a pony too along the way.

Yes, I was hoping with all my might we would turn back. Soon everyone broke into silence too. Finally, there were one or two abandoned houses and it had the space to make a u-turn. Out of no where, there was dog that came barking. Goodness that was so freaky. D Dad went out of the car to inform D Mom of the situation.

When I turned to my left, I saw this figure. I needed to pretend I didn’t see anything. So calmly I looked to my right and there was another at the back of the car but it was white unlike the first which was black. That’s the rule I needed to obey so that they won’t follow me home, I needed to pretend I couldn’t see them and say nothing during that time.

My heart almost died when Devilene opened the door to pet the doggie. I was praying with all my might she didn’t invite anything to come along with us. Thankfully nothing happened and there were no casualties. After everything was sorted out with D Dad and D Mom, we were set to go. Then, I caught a glimpse of the abandoned houses, goodness there were figures in them too. We were in someone’s territory and I knew we had to get out quick but I can’t say anything.

After that, I didn’t want to look out of the window anymore but D Dad kept looking for the turn to find the motel and he found a turn and turned in, it was the wrong one and it looked eerie even for a split second. We got out and turned in another one and it was a wrong one again. We weren’t welcome there and something was playing with us and if we stayed there longer I was sure we won’t be getting out.

Thank you to D Mom for insisting we should get out during the 3rd turn! We got out safely and I was so grateful that everyone’s safe. Once again, I hope those who are curious to see those beings, please don’t do anything to force yourself to see, if they want you to see them, they’ll appear.

Oh yeah, I should elaborate more after we got out of the copper mine. We got out because we couldn’t find the place and when D Dad asked a passer by if there is such place, they said there’s no such place now and it’s been close since 5 years ago but Devilene went there 2 years ago. Very strange! No karaoke but our main problem is to find a place to stay!

They drove to a place in Ranau or is the place called Bundu Tuhan. Wait, I’m pretty sure it’s Ranau. The place still felt dark, must be the lack of streetlights. We stayed over in a hostel but it’s managed by Malays so we couldn’t have dinner as the kitchen was closed. We got down and I wasn’t feeling myself and I was in a daze. I guess I must have freaked myself out during the ride.

I just didn’t want to listen to or join in any conversation so I listened to my Ipod. Thank goodness I brought it. I’m sorry I was being selfish and unreasonable. D Mom got us a room and everyone cramped in and slept there. We went into the room and settle down, and there was still a conversation going on and I switched back on my Ipod.

I was really tired and I just wanted to sleep it off and at this point, I really wanted to go back home to KL where my family is. I was hugging my doggie as it reminded me of my mom buying me it. That kept me hanging on and helped me hid what was shown on my face.

Everyone didn’t feel like going out on a car ride to get dinner. I’m not sure if everyone felt that way but I think majority felt that way. In the end D Mom or D Dad managed to talk to the person in charge of the kitchen to cook us up something which is Mee Mamak. It was nice and edible. Everyone had a fun time chatting with each other and they had Teh Tarik to complete the atmosphere.

After all the chatting and everything, we headed back to the room and arranged everything including the extra mattresses to fit everyone. Everyone watched Princess Hour while I just needed some time alone. It was quite hard on me because I wanted to call my mom but I didn’t want to go out as I’ll worry the others.

So I just left it to call my mom tomorrow morning but I was overwhelmed and my chest felt heavy. I tried to sleep and I was having quite a difficult time doing even though I covered myself with the blanket. I was tossing and turning about but thankfully everyone else was laughing their hearts out watching the Korean drama. So I didn’t worry anyone with my antics.

Yeap, everyone had a good night’s sleep after watching Korean drama. That’s all I could write about this particular day and hope tomorrow is going to be a brighter day.

RISE AND SHINE!

Time to get ready! It’s the second day in Sabah! I’m one of those few who had to wake up earlier to make sandwiches for the outing. Sadly, I didn’t do much because all I did was spread the peanut butter and also take pictures of those in action. Ren Ren and Rienne were busy making tuna sandwiches with ham and also mayo. Oh yea, must not be forgetting the lettuce now! In the mean time, Dakeru and Hamster were mashing up the eggs for egg mayo sandwiches. In the end I think we had four types of sandwiches which I couldn’t remember the fourth one. (Yes, I have a very bad memory)

The sandwich making factory

The super yummy and delicious sandwiches

I remember we were discussing the night before in which shape the sandwiches should be cut: Cubes or Triangles. And guess what Dakeru answered? She answered: Poring shaped But in the end the sandwiches were cut in triangles because poring shape is impossible for us. =D

Ok, after the sandwiches were done, we packed everything else we needed for the outing. I know it’s just the second day we’ve been in Sabah but mostly everyone picked up the culture of taking the slow pace of doing stuff. Yeah, we took quite some time getting ready. And getting ready included cutting the slipper to make it Japanese-like for Hamster. I’m not kidding at all. LOOK! I have a picture to prove it.

Hamster practicing the ways of cutting taught by D Dad

Why was Hamster doing so? Because it looked cool. Ok, I’m just joking. It all happened because Phish swapped the slippers she bought in Giant the day before which only cost bout RM3 for Hamster’s sandals. The slippers were too big for both of them so in the end, it became the victim of the great cutting technique. Haha! We did the darndest things in Sabah but the best has yet to be written down.

After packing up and loading our stuff into the car, D dad became one of those lucky ones to witness our group members excluding ExitZero performing LIVE with a variety of HIT SONGS! Yes, you name it, from the theme song for Pokemon to songs suited for a romantic trip to the beach. This included the song from titanic and Disney’s song – Under the Sea which was sung in both English and Japanese. While the group members were singing their hearts out, ExitZero was swaying all the way with the help of the momentum of the car when making a turn.

D Dad dropped us off at Jesselton Point with a smile of his face due to the group member’s performance. Oh the joy! =D The first thing I noticed when I got down the car wasn’t the welcoming arc thing of Jesselton Point welcoming us but a café-bar place named Cock and Bull. I don’t know why, I found it quite amusing and unique. Haha!

Jesselton Point - Welcome
The name says it all =P
At the counter

We got down, got all of our stuff and we marched to the place to get ourselves a boat to take us to the highlight of the day! The place is called MANUKAN ISLAND! A PLACE FILLED WITH AWESOMENESS! (I might be exaggerating just a tiny bit =P) We tried to lower the entry fare and boat fee but it failed in terms of bargaining but succeeded in terms of outwitting them.

It’s all because we had the privileges of being a student! We had to show our student cards to get a discount. But people like me thought that bringing the student card wouldn’t be of any use, the people in charge there just have to prove me wrong. Therefore! Some of the members had extra student cards from their previous schools and they used it and got away with it! THE AWESOMENESS!

After that, we rented just one set of lifejacket and the snorkeling mask and we waited for the boat to arrive. Goodness, the view there was just surreal. Everything looked so fake and yet it’s the real thing. There were loads of fishes too! I was so anxious to find out what was in stored for us in Manukan Island. The boat arrived and YAHOO it was speeding crazily. Everyone’s hair was flying all over and you could feel thrill and the wind hitting your face. It was just like drifting on water! Yea, once again I’m going to say, AWESOME!!

One of the views I captured during the boat ride
The crystal clear water
Loads of fishes and one unsightly piece of rubbish floating about
Manukan Island Entrace

We reached the island after having fun on the boat ride and camera is already out to capture everything in sight. The island is just so nice and breathtaking except for the amount of seaweed and yeah, the rubbish floating about. Other than that, everything was beyond what I imagined. Everyone settled their stuff, applied sunblock and went straight into the sea for a swim! And there, I tested my loyal camera which is waterproof there. Loads of thank you to ExitZero for helping to capture some pictures underwater. To my surprise the pictures were clear! I LOVE YOU MY CAMERA!

The lovely sky, the nice cool water and the plankton attack. What?! Plankton attack?! That’s something weird isn’t it? Well it is to me. If you’re having a dip and you felt slight multiple stinging and there’s nothing in sight, you’re being attacked by planktons! And sadly there were rubbish floating among the sea of seaweed. And yes, the group members don’t only perform songs live, they also love the earth dearly! Therefore, we did some cleaning duty!

The rubbish we manage to pick up

After a dip in the sea, I got out and never got back in again due to the slight hydrophobia I have. It’s so annoying sometimes. After I sat down at the bench, I realised my right knee was a little reddish. I either was allergic to something in the water or I grazed it on something but it was most probably the latter. Dakeru, Ren Ren and Riene insisted that I find somewhere to wash my leg before applying Dakeru’s magic remedy – Aloevera cream. So I did as they told and they led the way!

Upon coming back, I relaxed at the bench and had some of the yummy sandwiches to chew on. The rest started making sandcastles in the sky. I mean sand. They had built a fortress and a samurai-dojo house with an oversize tree and a turtle on a turtle. Not forgetting what ExitZero built, I’m not sure what it is but they claimed it’s an iguana-like monster (?). While they having fun in the sand, I was really enjoying myself at the bench with the lovely scenery and watching them having fun puts a smile on my face too.

Ren Ren and Phish wondered off to the other side of the beach and came back with news that the other side is much greener. I mean cleaner. =P The remaining ones were still perfecting their sandcastles and ExitZero just fell asleep on the beach. And Devilene covered her legs with sand and from then onwards she transformed into a sand mermaid! Ren Ren and I grabbed our sunglasses (actually I was wearing it before due to the blinding sunlight) and became part-time models for our awesome photographer Phish. Oh gosh, I just ruined Ren Ren’s modeling career because she was working with a rookie like me.

The lovely sand mermaid

After everyone’s satisfied with their sandcastles, Hamster managed to get one random guy to help us take a group picture and then we packed our stuff and went to the other side! The place other side had more rocks and less sand so when you walked barefoot it’ll hurt while the location we originally camped at was just nice and sandy but it came with a catch! You have to put up with the random seaweed attack! Yes, seaweed and plankton attack!

We reached the other side and the water is clearer and it’s just as nice. After settling down, the others went back for a swim, they saw sea cucumbers and fishes! I’m not sure what type of fish though. I didn’t want to go back in and get wet again. So, I just lay on the bench and looked up at the pine trees (I think) with the sunrays gently hitting down on me, enjoying the slight breeze under the cooling shade together with the songs of the cicadas echoing around.

I was just about to fall asleep, when was fully awake again to thought what time it was. Then I turned to my handphone and saw it was about to be 2.30pm when I thought it has already been 5pm. Everything and everyone moves so slowly here, you can just sit down and take in everything you see little by little. I’m not making this place seem flowery but I’m just describing it as it is.

Blue Starfish

When some the others came back, they noticed some other tourist with a striking blue starfish. OH GOSH! They were still alive! We managed to borrow one and they had these tiny suction-like tentacles coming out if you overturn the starfish. It was fascinating and yet sad as the family of the tourist whom found the starfish was actually hunting them and drying them up under the sun to take it back home. Goodness, the temperature was under warm enough being under the shade and they are drying them directly under the sun!

Thank goodness, two of our members went to get the lifeguard (?) or more likely the beach officers. I don’t know the term for it. Then the people in charge came and told the tourist that they can’t do what they are doing and took the starfishes and threw them further back into the sea! I’m so happy for you starfishes, don’t get caught again yea! But I think the tourists were still hiding more starfishes somewhere.

GEEZ YOU HUMANS! IF YOU WANT STUFF FROM THE SEA, PICK UP YOUR GODDAMN RUBBISH YOU THREW INTO THE SEA! AND DON’T EVER TAKE ANYTHING OUT FROM THE SEA UNLESS THEY ARE DEAD OR THEY ARE RUBBISH!

Monitor Lizard

After all that commotion, Ren Ren and I spotted a monitor lizard walking around nearby the benches. We tailed it because it didn’t want to stop to pose for us. It went behind the bushes and we went behind the bushes too just to capture a picture of it. We managed to capture a picture of it but we also managed to capture people’s attention. Out of curiosity, there were other tourists wondering what we were doing behind the bushes and they too saw the subject of our photography and their cameras were taken out from their pouches too!

We went back to the benches to sit down and it started drizzling moments after. It didn’t settle down and it just got a little heavier, so we took our stuff and went back to the jetty to wait for the boat. Our plan of waiting to see the sunset had to be cancelled off. Before going back to the jetty, we went to the washroom to clean up and wash away the stickiness away. Most of the members had bad sunburns.

We got cleaned and we got ready to go back! BEFORE THAT! We had one more thing on our checklist to do, no matter rain or shine! It won’t affect us! We had to feed the fishes of course! As soon as the bread was thrown into the sea, schools of fishes came up to the surface and ate. They were a lot of fishes and I mean A LOT! That’s was the first time I every seen so many fishes in one place in my life. Such a sight, one word to describe it: AWESOME!

Water ripples caused by the rain

After that, we got on our boat named APARU 3 and headed back home! The scariest thing that happened during the boat ride was both ExitZero and Devilene fell asleep on the boat and they were sitting right in front! Oh my, all of us got the fright of our lives because we were afraid that they might fall off board or something.

Dakeru bought a different brand of her magic remedy, the aloevera cream! Do not underestimate the power of aloevera! It really helped to reduce pain from the sunburn we had. So we got back home and took turns bathing. While half of our members; Phish, Hamster, Devilene and ExitZero knocked out due to tiredness and the lack of sleep as soon they found a place to sleep.

The others remained awake, including me. I was so surprised at myself I could stay awake as I got 2 to 3 hours of sleep the night before. Some of us were hungry and thank you Rienne for cooking up some instant noodles for us to eat. We made the kitchen our hang out spot. We sat around there, chatted there and also ate there.

As soon as we noticed, it was already night time and it was time for dinner. But the ones who were awake were in a dilemma as we can’t wake the others who were sleeping like a rock and D Dad wasn’t at home. So, we decided to order pizza. The whole event is so funny, as we tried to wake Devilene up and we were whispering to get the house address.

Then, we wanted to call for pizza but we realised we didn’t know the number and there wasn’t any internet connection to check whether if Sabah’s pizza hut has the same number as the one in KL. So ordering pizza hut was a failure so we thought of going out for an ADVENTURE. Yes, adventure! We wanted to walk out to find food but we contemplated for a while then we saw the light!

We literally saw the light. Haha! It came from D Dad’s car! Rienne discussed with D Dad and yeah, in the end Rienne and Ren Ren went out the D Dad to get food. Before going out, D Dad saw Phish on the couch sleeping and made animal noises to see whether he could wake her up and the half conscious Phish responded with a “mew!”. It was so amusing.

Dakeru and I watched television and was channel surfing for awhile and somehow landed on the AXN channel and it was showing Princess Hour. And before we knew it, the groggy Phish was now awake! After that, the ones that went out for an adventure came back with food! THE BLISS! All of those who were awake had fried rice while watching Princess Hour. Hamster woke up and joined us for dinner a bit later.

After all that, we did all our little chores like getting ready for tomorrow, chatted and other things. Then, we got ready for bed and Ren Ren slept first. Before that, it was already 12am and it was one of our classmates’ birthday. So I used my phone to call and everyone whom were awake and were in the room wished him ‘happy birthday’.

The funny thing that happened is after we ended the call, my nose was suddenly working up and I was sneezing like crazy all of a sudden. Haha! I must be allergic to him. (If the person I’m talking about is reading this I’m just joking!) But seriously I was sneezing like crazy till I got dizzy. Dakeru was playing cards while talking to him on the phone while I was dying on the bed. After they ended the phone call, we called it a day and LIGHTS OUT! We’ll be looking forward for what’s waiting for us tomorrow!

It's the day we set off to Sabah! Before this, I was reluctant to go and somehow feel left out but yeah, it turned out okay! I was feeling quite insecure because it’s the first time travelling without my family for a holiday. Yet, we had some reliable ones to lead the way! The group consisted of 8 people including myself.

These people are

Devilene (the host)

ExitZero (the girl’s accessory =P)

Rienne (the stand-in chief)

Ren Ren (the awesome model)

Hamster (the oh-so cute and blur one)

Dakeru (the mafia boss)

Phish (the fish that she is & awesome photographer)

P.S.

Actually everyone in the group became targets for my photography and EVERYONE is an awesome photographer with their very own style. Some of the pictures they took with their compact camera can beat those capturing pictures with their DSLR! YEAH, THE AWESOMENESS!

The members of the journey

Our journey started at Devilene’s place and we were supposedly to set out at 10 but we waited around 10 to 15 minutes till everyone gathered there, then we left in two cars. LOADS OF THANKS to the AWESOME DADS (my dad and Rienne’s dad) for driving us to the airport. [I’m not saying other dads are not awesome, everyone’s dad is awesome! =D]

We reached the airport and had time to spare. So we took a bite at McDonalds. Upon ordering and paying up, W00TS! The pricing for a McChicken set was mind blowing! I had to pay twice the amount I could get at the McDs at my place.

My doggie that came along. My friends named it Julian

We met up with our last member, Dakeru at the airport, finished eating our lunch and we’re off to the check-in counter! We found this machine that allowed us to check-in by ourselves just by inserting the booking code. How cool is that? This is to show how often I travel by airplanes.

After the check-in we found out where we’re seated at, mostly everyone were paired together expect ExitZero (I think). During, the security check thinggy, Hamster walked through the sensor thinggy with her bag still strapped on her and made the sensor go off. Why did it happen? The reason: She forgot she was carrying the bag cause it was too light. OMGGG the blurriness yet, it’s so cute! =D

We waited and waited (geez I hate to wait, its so booooring!) just to board the plane. The journey to Sabah took bout 2 hours! *dies* and I didn’t get the window seat, total SADNESS but I managed to sit beside RenRen and Dakeru, JOY! Dakeru was famished during the plane ride and she was overjoyed when AirAsia’s famous nasi lemak was served to her. She looked like she was in heaven while eating. SOO CUTE! =D

When the plane landed I was so happy I could die! But not yet! I still have a week ahead of me! BYE BYE BOREDOM and HELLO SABAH! OH YEAH! We were given one receipt-like paper at the airport. It acts as a permit to stay there for 1 week, if it goes missing, you have to stay in Sabah and you can’t go back to KL. I mean, just one piece of paper?! At least print it on something of art card material that has lower chance of going missing. SHOCKING!

Devilene’s parents and her ‘lil bro came to pick us up from the airport, they were cool! The bags went into mom’s car and the people went into dad’s car. D Dad’s car is so cool and spacious but 4 people had to share seats.

The lettering for the cars in Sabah is either SA or SAA. And during the car ride, everyone was going “SAA~~” (I don’t know in Japanese) because of what’s written on the car plates. It was funny when they did that and everyone had a good laugh. It didn’t take us long to reach Devilene’s home. The journey was about 20 minutes. (I think)

As soon as we reached Devilene’s home, we settled down and had a tour inside the house. It was so pretty and they built it themselves or is it designed it themselves (I’m not quite sure) BUT it’s a really nice place which accommodated us for most of the days in Sabah. NOTHING BUT AWESOMENESS!

The kitty which became Julian’s (the dog) companion for the week. They named it Charmaine.

City Mall

After settling down, we went to City Mall which is also nearby Devilene’s home. Actually the places we went were all nearby Devilene’s home. So convenient. We had dinner in the mall’s food court and only three stalls were opened. Most of us had Lemon Chicken Rice (I think) but I know it had lemon sauce and friend chicken with rice. Haha! It tasted really nice. Oh and as for drinks, I had ice lemon tea and it was like RM1.80. The most interesting part was the sizing and pricing we paid for the drinks.

Left – Coke RM 2.00 Middle – Ice Lemon Tea RM 1.80 Right – Milo Ice RM 1.80

You see! It’s so amusing. Soon after we had our dinner, we went to do some grocery shopping in Giant which is also in the mall. The group was spilt into two, the food group and the hygiene group. I was placed in the food group which is in charge of basically buying the ingredients we needed for breakfast and sandwiches for tomorrow’s outing. While the hygiene group is in charge of getting the shampoo, body wash, toothpaste etc.

It was quite hectic and difficult to get enough of food and also food that suits everyone’s taste. And another thing! We always forgot what we needed. We remembered one thing and forgot the other. It was funny at first but it got a little annoying after that because I was tired of walking round and round in the supermarket. But everything was cool in the end, we got all we needed, paid up and placed the stuff in D Mom’s car.

Then, we waited for D Dad’s to pick us up, while waiting, I had the perfect chance to capture some photographs of the members. Here are some of the targets:

Peek-a-boo!

Deep in thoughts

A DSLR never fails to put a smile on a person =D

Our ride arrived and we got on the car and bye bye City Mall! And we headed back to unload the stuff and to cool down. Next on the agenda was going to the bubble tea. YES! Bubble tea, they have a shop that sells bubble tea late at night till 2 am (I think but I know it opens till quite late).

While waiting for the others to cool down, D Dad’s taught us the ways of cutting! (Yes, I made it sound so epic) But really, he taught us valuable stuff we didn’t learn in college. He’s really cool and awesome in terms of someone working in the art field.

After that, we went to the awesome bubble tea some called Frenz Café. The pricing so cheap! It was RM 2.50 for one cup! We sat around, chatted and enjoyed our lovely bubble tea! The pearls were small just like those frog eggs but they are nice to chew! You can chew them till your jaw is tired.

The bubble tea we had

Smile for the camera

Kitty: I wurveeee bubble tea! <3>

After chillin’ out, we headed back straight home to get some shut eye. Some just dropped on the bed and slept like a log while the others had a really deep conversation which had something like the end of the world and stuff if I’m not mistaken. I had difficulty in sleeping due to the new environment and also the chattering. But that didn’t bother me much; it was mostly because being in a new environment. In the end I think I got 2 or 3 hours of shut eye till the next day arrives.

[I apologise for the excessive use of the word ‘awesome’ but there’s no other better word to describe stuff due to my shallow vocabulary] =P
