Kota Kinabalu: A World of Its Own

Gina and I decided that we should take a trip somewhere, just to walk around and do some exploring. So we decided on Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

The flight to KK was sorta bumpy. During take off, Gina was laughing her ass off (probably because she was panicking), while I was gripping my seat tight and staring wide eyed at the seat in front of me with my pale face. I'm not a big fan of flying..

Once we landed in the airport in KK, we took the taxi to the KK waterfront to check the place out, and then headed to Tune Hotel.

The next day, we took a tour to see Mt.Kinabalu. I was really looking forward to that because I do plan to climb that mountain soon. And Oh.. My..God.... what a bloody huge mountain it was!!

It was freakishly HUGE! The peak of the mountain is entirely granite, and was completely covered with thick clouds.

After some souvenir shopping, we headed to the Poring Hot Springs & Canopy Walk. The Canopy Walk was sort of scary, mainly because it was a single plank (dangling about 41m high) with nets on each side. Gina was having a hard time walking across that, and I was having fun watching her take baby steps. hahahaha!!

After that, Gina and I got to jump into an icy cold swimming pool, that was made up of cold mountain water. We tried swimming towards the 6feet end, but the water was seriously so cold, that we had to go back to our 5feet end.

All in all, I loved Sabah. I cannot wait to go back there again. :)

Vivaz Pro

Finally bought a new phone and got rid of my lame ass Samsung Omnia Pro..one of the world's most suckiest phones ever.. instead I bought myself a Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro. I admit that i'm still trying to get to know the phone, but I think I could not ask for more.. it has ALL that I need and want in a mobile phone. It came with 8Gigs of memory, has HD recording, mobile GPS, WiFi, a slide up QWERTY Keypad and a 3.2'' touchscreen. 

My Feel Good Song

H.O.T

I just found out that Sagina a.k.a Dr.Cristina Yang actually posted something in her blog. Hahahaha we made tht blog and spent a long time trying to come up with the perfect name for it. And I must say, it's got a pretty good name :p

I'm sure she'll be posting more soon. Check her blog out - I Beg To Differ

Bats and Balls

IPL season is BACK! Could I possibly ask for anything more right now!???

Kochi Tuskers Kerala is making its appearance this season. Can't wait to see how their team will fare. Of course I'm not jumping ships, I'm with Chennai all the way. But at the moment, I'm torn between choosing Bangalore and Cochin as my 2nd team to support.

The Mallu blood in me is sorta pushing me towards Tuskers. My mum doesn't even watch cricket, yet she's all like "We MUST support Kochi!".. hahaha

Oh well. I'm just glad IPL is back.

Catching Up

Just finished my two month internship. It was my very first work experience and a very good one too I must say.

Anyway, now I'm back home and I need to catch up with all the things I haven't had a chance to do for the past two months -i.e tennis, tv, music, sleeping

I plan to make my sister get me the 2nd season of Buffy and the latest season on Grey's. Why? Well it is one of the few series that is worth watching, and I cannot get enough of it.

I also need to finish the Trueblood season 3 DVD I have.

I had a great time playing tennis with Harri and Preets today. We were rusty as usual, BUT we WILL improve :P I can assure you that.

Music to my ears

I realise that everytime I turned the radio on, they play the same damn song ALL THE TIME. I mean if the song is catchy, you sing along to it.. but really after listening to it like 100 times on air, you get sick. This week alone, how many times have you heard the radio play these songs : Grenade - Bruno Mars, Born This Way- Gaga, Firework - Katy Perry

So I decided that a change of radio station was in order. I now am an avid listener of GOLD 90.5FM. Old is gold they say. Damn, it sure is.. I get this really nice feeling inside of me when I drive at night while Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe" is playing on air, and I'm singing along to it.. AND they sure as hell don't play it 100 times a week.

Speaking of good music.. (I know I'm a bit late on this, but) I am so in love with Adele. Gosh where did that voice come from? 23 years old only, yet you can see how much she puts her feelings into her songs. She also did a cover of Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love". The beautiful music video plus her excellent vocals made me sob like a little baby.

I definitely need to buy her album.

Nothing like having a reminder that good music is not extinct.
