The Great Escape

Had a great holiday with my fellow housemates and old friends who fly all the way to sabah. It was quite a holiday, with breath taking scenery, close contact with mother nature, intense exercise, excruciating muscle ache during and after conquering mount Kinabalu.....

The first day was spent in my favorite place-karaok box. Amazingly, all my housemates went for karaok session! Finally can hear everyone voices.

Following day, we drove our way up to Kundasang, check in to a fabulous resort, pine resort. What is so great about the resort? The scenery was just awesome, you can see mount kinabalu right infront of you from the room! We did steamboat inside the room, and eat 'bao bao'! And by the way, spending a night at kundasang is a MUST thing to do, because the weather is so chilling, so suitable for a good night sleepzzZZZ

The second MUST DO things in kundasang is to visit DESA farm. It is a cow farm and they produce local milk. The view from the farm will give you a feeling of as if you are in New Zealand! and the DESA milk is tasty as well, especially the chocolate flavored one.



The ultimate MUST DO things in kundasang is to conquer Mount Kinabalu!!!!

We were damn lucky, because the weather was soooo good. There wasn't even a drop of rain during our climb. (It usually rains at evening at kundasang) The scenery along the climb was just amazing. I was blown away by the beauty of mother nature! It was a great escape from the busy hectic working lifestyle!

With determination and ignoring the muscle cramps, we all reached the top of mount Kinabalu!It was so worth the pain and sweat, because the sunrise at the top of the mountain is just soooo breath taking!!!!!!

After coming back to Kota Kinabalu, I bring them to the town, Api-Api. We walk along the water front, from fish market to souvenir shops....

Surprisingly, this is the first time ever I walk through this city feeling like a tourist! I wasn't here for work, but just to rest n relax....

Despite the sunburn from climbing the mountain, we still choose to go island hopping. And the consequences, more severe sunburn!!!!! Island hopping was okay, because after Redang, these snorkeling was just okay...But, it was my first time lying on the beach and fall asleep. It was a nice experience, with the breeze, I had a good nap!

Holiday has come to an end, now starting work again. Aih, life is like this, work work work. It is these great escape from time to time that keeps us sane!

Can't wait for the next great escape to come, Taiwan (for the second time haha) and India, and Scuba diving (hope can get it done next year XD)
