He Threathen Me!

Yesterday morning, boss' personal assistant came up to my place to find Joanne. She was at the other side doing something that time and then he went into my lady boss' office to get something and stood there for quite some some. During that time, Joanne came back and I ask her to go away as he was looking for her. So she went away to avoid him. Then he ask me to ask Joanne to go see him when she comes back. After he left, I told Joanne that its safe to come back now, the coast is clear. Then I told her that he wanted to see her. After a while, when Joanne was busy with other stuffs as there's another girl waiting for her. Then he called me and ask me where is Joanne again. He started shouting and said his things are urgent and he needs it in half an hour time and he threathen that if its not done by then, boss will FIRE us. I just said 'hmmm'. I dunno what else to say. I wanted to tell him that if he wants to threathen us, please use another threat. Because firing us is not a threat to us. And he's been using that threat so many times, we got used to it. Also, this time, it has nothing to do with me. I dont think boss will just fire me because his personal assistant cant find Joanne. But overall, it was funny. Didnt think he can get actually shout and talk fast, I'm surprised!

Wonderful Sipadan Water Village

After the Mount Kinabalu hike, we all rested for 1day before leaving for Sipadan. We first had to fly to Tawau and from there, go to Sipadan Water Village by boat. I fell in love with that place immediately when I reach there. The chalets was on water, I could see fishes swimming around below my chalet. The view was fantastic. I could just stay in there the whole day without doing anything. I would lie down on my deck chair, read a book with a cold can of beer or water all day. I can see sunset from my room. We practically do nothing there but sleep and relax, enjoy the wonderful view of the sea, corals and sun. When its time for food, the staff there will hit the 'gong' and we can all start walking to the restaurant for food. The food there was good. We had buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner. On our last night there, we had bbq dinner.

Snorkeling trip was wonderful too. We had two snorkeling session which we did in in 1day, morning and afternoon. They brought us around Mabul Island and Kapalai Island to snorkel. The corals was nice but I got bitten by jellyfish all around and it hurts! I can even see turtles there but then there 1turtle came to my chalet to greet me good morning once. It would have been perfect if we can go to Sipadan Island but we didnt get the permits as we're not staying long enough to wait for it. If I knew how to dive, it would have made a different in the trip as I will get to see more if I can dive.

Overall, my 3days 2nights in Sipadan Water Village was pure food and relaxation, I really love it there and I promise myself to go back there again and again and again.

Mount Kinabalu hike

Went to hike the great Mount Kinabalu on the 11th of July 2011. We hike through Mesilau route. We stayed at mesilau park at night. Our initial room was a cheap hostel type of room but because the staffs there made a big mistake and messed up our room so we made a big hoo haa there and our room got upgraded to a chalet/bungalow type with heater! My friends did a good job there. We all started hiking at 9am from mesilau. The first few kilometres was okay as we walk abit and took lots of pictures while we still can smile nicely. We took about 1hour per kilometre to hike. The later part of the hike was bad, very bad! We were all very very tired and my back hurts alot. Our legs were all stiffen up and we can barely walk up the bloody staircase. Luckily we had our walking stick with us and it really helps us walk up the slope and stairs. Reach Laban Rata at around dinner time. It was so cold there I was shivering all the time. After dinner, we had to get ready and sleep but it was only 8smth at night. Who sleeps at 8pm? But we all had to sleep as we have to wake up at 130am and start hiking to the summit latest by 230am! It was freaking cold at night, I didnt bathe and went to bed with 4layers of clothes, 1jacket and my windbreaker. Woke up at 130am and get ready to hike to summit. It was dark and we had to rely on our headlamp to guide us through the rocky steps. We took about 2hrs to reach sayat-sayat,the checkpoint. With very little supply of oxygen and its freaking cold up there, I felt like vomitting and my head hurts!!!

I dont think I will go back for that hike again but I enjoyed the process and I'm proud of myself for doing it. The view from up there is priceless.

The hike down was miserable. At some part of the hike down, I was alone for quite some time. Amit was 0.5km ahead of me and Eli was 1km behind me. The others was 2km behind me. I was walking alone in the rainforest. I was scared and so I decided to walk slowly and wait for Eli to join me. Then we met Amit as he was waiting for us too. 3of us hike down but our knees was so painful we could not walk fast or bend our knees. We had to walk very slowly towards the end and to make things worse, it started to rain! I fell down once and as if my back and my knees are not making my life hard enough, my ass hurts during the fall! Finally the 3of us reach Timpohon gate and we finally complete the whole hike! We called the rest and ask where were they and they were still far away as Venu cant walk anymore, her knees was giving up on her and she cant bend at all. The porter had to carry her back!

After everyone completes the hike, we went back to our hotel in KK, Gaya Centre Hotel. I had a nice long bath and a nice long sleep that night but we all can barely walk. Anyway, we all had fun during some part of the hike. I dont regret going for the hike but dont think I will do it again. Once in a lifetime is enough for me and I'm satisfied!
