Kota Kinabalu Trip 2010: Manukan

Hey people, I'm back and typing again! Many happenings lately but, let's put that aside and talk about the Kota Kinabalu trip I just came back from :D

The highlight has got to be the trip to the island, Manukan. Was sooo looking forward to it.

The girls I went with :))

Departed from the beautiful Sutera Harbor

wheee

the islands were so beauuutiful *heart* Like nothing I've ever seen before, maybe because I've never been to any before this T.T Well, actually I did go to Manukan like about 10 years back but I remember nothing but a few fishes in the clear water. Lol, so not worth it to bring kids on holidays because they won't appreciate it till a certain age I think >_<.

Oh yeah we definitely tried that. However, snorkeling there was rather uncomfortable. The moment our whole body was dipped into the water, there's some tiny invisible creatures in the water that kept stinging us like needle pricks, at first it hurts, then it becomes itchy. Annoying to the max. After a while we couldn't stand it anymore and got outta the water to do other activities. So before renting the snorkels, I suggest you guys test the water out first ;)

Omg, I've always wanted to hang on a parachute when I was younger but as I grew older, fear and love for life kinda made me a coward and the images of jumping off a plane in the middle of the sky and opening my own parachute just made it all a biggg NoNO. 

However~~~~ Parasailing was one of the closest and fawesomest way I got on a parachute!!! :DDD It is perfectly safe and comfy, and I don't feel it's a wee bit life threatening at all.. And the view up there was just spectacular. I shouted my lungs out at the water, islands and mountains in the distance, oh the relief!!! :)). And you can even ask them to lower you so you can brush your feet on the water sometimes which is just sooo funnn :DD.. That's definitely one activity to try for like around RM100 only.

Afterthat, all 5 of us hopped on a wooden island in the middle of the sea to JET SKIII!!! :D But the island was rather err floaty, got a bit seasick.

That's me resting my mind, and eyes, while being laughed at by the "sweeetest" people around me. >_<. lol.

On the jet ski! :D

After the skiing while waiting for the others, we were allowed to just jump off the boat and dip into the sea. But I must warn you to close your mouth, nose and eyes real tight before jumping. Because if the salt water gets into either one of these 3 organs, it would BURRNNN >_<. Seriously, the water is SOOO salty!!! Eyes and nose suffered lol, and the mouth, omg, the salt, omg, yucckkk lol. Water looks blue and clean but it still is the sea = SALTY. lol.

Judy was lucky enough to maneuver the boat for like 1 minute loll..

Oh yeah, sitting at the tip of the boat letting the angry wind slap your face awake is the best feeling ever.

Got back to shore and Judy continued her snorkeling while the rest of us cam-hoed all the way muahaha Facebook is partially proof :p

hehe

The classic beach jump (attempt)

K.K

The tide is high~ and we're sitting on the water :D

And that would be the end of our fawesome experience! That would be my first time snorkeling, para-sailing and jet skiing. Whee~

More stuff bout KK coming up soon :D

Neglect-ed not :)

Feeling so sorry to have neglected my blog, but I had been rather busy with everything lately.

Exams were only over a week ago and me and some friends headed over to Kota Kinabalu for a holiday for a week. It was an awesome experience which I am so gonna share within this week I promise!! And more accessories and makeup finds!! Damn why doesn't Kuching have SaSa.

That's all for now I guess I desperately need sleep. Stay tuned!! :)

Sorry people for my very lack of updates. Am currently stuck somewhere in my piling up life and finals. So yeah, see ya'll soon :)) All the best to everyone out there.

Letters to Juliet is so ♥

Watched Letters to Juliet with Kim last Friday. And we both agreed it was sooooooooo romantic! Voted 4.5 hearts! >_<. We felt so much like tearing while watching it but we controlled it because we had eye liner and mascara on T.T. 

The great thing about this movie is it doesn't "cheat" our emotions. Like, make us cry because it's too touching  because it's sad ya know? What I mean is, unlike PS I love you, The Note Book, If Only, A Walk to Remember and Dear John, which all ended in tragedy (or something sad), Letters to Juliet actually had a really sweet and happy ending. And we were like *awww!! Heart heart heart* after the movie. :')

Spoiler:

This girl who's trying to be a journalist came to be one of the Secretary of Juliet (which are these aunties with nothing better to do who reply letters that girls write and paste on the wall to Juliet of Verona), while on her lousy honey moon (because of her lousy fiancée who is so NOT-understanding and self-centered >_<.). wow wad a terrible sentence.
Anyway, she happened to come across this 50 year old letter from a woman who truly loved someone when she was young but ran away because she was afraid. Mana tau the woman was still alive and she came to Verona with  her grandson to search for her Lorenzo.

Her grandson is hot. And sweet. And a gentleman. And has the cutest British accent ever! *drool* So ofcourse that young girl fell in love with him and broke up with the self-centered fiancée. >_<. 

Loved this scene the most! The hot grandson and the girl laying under the stars talking bout stuff. Aw! Then they oops kissed :x aww!

But then ofcourse there were problems along the way and since you are already engaged to someone else, how can you just go jump at another person even though you like him right? So, it took some time to sort herself out and stuff.

And the ending is so romantic and funny I wanted to burst into laughter. Especially when that hot grandson so kinteo/deseperate-ly climb up the vines to tell the girl his feelings. The way he tried to stop her from talking so he can get all his feelings out was SO effin' cute. Hhahahahhaa.

Okay the end. worst summary ever I know, lazy lol. Effects of studying whole day *proud to say still.

So, girls, must watch if you're into lovey-dovey stuff! :D~ ♥

Starting to doubt the positivity I had at the beginning of 2010.

Seriously, I was constantly telling myself what a great year ahead it would be. What goals and success I would achieve this year and stuff. Though, it didn't really start all perfectly. I was in Bangkok working long hours, away from home and my loved ones. Didn't talk to my family for the whole 1 and a half months I was there. Missed my dad somehow though I rarely speak to him. Wow, was that all a bad sign that I missed or forced myself to not accept? *gasp*

However, like they say there's always that silver lining. I made lots of new friends from all over the world whom I dearly miss now. Learned a lot about the work field and most importantly, my perception and goals in life totally changed. If you see my Bangkok posts in January you'll know what I mean (or if you don't we can always chat :)).

So far till now, June, I have encountered various serious issues which I did not have throughout the whole of my amazing 2009. Issues that I no longer share on blogs cos yeah, seriously, too public. I should really pray more. Which is also maybe why this phrase, "can we pretend that airplanes in the night skies are shooting stars?" appeal to me so much.

There, the end of a short untitled update of my life. Hope things are better for you guys out there. :)
