Three families, One destination.

So, our family getaway this end of year is to Kota Kinabalu, the heart of Sabah.
And its not only our family of 4 this time but including my aunt's family and uncle john's.
12 in all.

beautiful sights along the way as usual, Mount kinabalu, nature parks, canopy walks, hot springs , seafood and beaches, laid-back. Time is in our hands.

the only thing about the whole trip is me still thinking bout studio and firmenich projects, the burdens are just bugging me. besides that, i was trying to have fun.

Anyway, pictures of relation here:

Departure, Day one, 26th nov 1015am
and yes, we flew there, because it takes bout 14 hours to get to KK by coach, so we flew there in 2 hours. convenient and the most important thing is, i get onboard a flight again.

Welcome to Kota Kinabalu!

Hotel we are residing in:

Aunts and Cousins.

the hotel room was pretty chic, shared it with sis.

thanks jo for that.toilet ambassadors.

yes there is disney channel!

we headed to the hypermall that was linked to our hotel for lunch.

and then we headed to the arcade, the kids seemed to love it there!

i had a wild time as well, just testing out my driving skills with daytona and motorbike races.

bbhoops got us going.

my cousin is freaking tall, he is 14 and he is already bout 170 or taller. and the little one is his sister.

Day 2, 0730

Morning skies as i drew the curtains.

The first signs of daylight long gone,

but the rays shone beyond the horizon, bringing forth the clouds.

Incredible sight.

Hearty breakfast, Hot tea.

Wisp of smoke, Warmth with every sip.

there we saw the wonder, Mount Kinabalu.

Had always wanted to scale that mountain, lets wait and see.

the real hot spring water from underneath.

Notice the smoke? its hot enough to boil eggs and cook maggie.

jo and me:]

mum, jo and dad !

and then we got to soak our legs in already diluted hot spring water!

the beautiful mothers who are probably more active in me in facebook .

the men! and jianheng at the back learning how to be like them.

Seafood at this restaurant in the heart of KK for 2 nights for dinner.

Cheap, good and fresh.

yes, it was way too fresh to this extent.

i was grossed out by these creatures in bottles. Fascinated but grossified.

How did they ever grow inside!

Day 3 1030am some beach near the airport. say hello to our little hermit crabby friend.

and say hello to my little cousin, who loves the beach as much as i do.

us and her!

mum being our model or was she just stoning and smiling to herself? :D

Last day before we head towards to the airport, 0930

Sunday market at KK

and off to KK Airport!

Appreciated the trip.

Thanks to the parents who made this possible. it lift things off my mind for a while.

Thank God for his healing, thanks for your prayers, thanks to everyone who had faith in me,
thanks for all the encouragement, thanks to giebert for believing and honoring me as your competition partner, thanks to kevin for that Fastum gel, it worked! and thanks to jerome for that very very painful yet effective calf massage.

Because, and for the sake of you guys, i earned this.

And yes, we got in 1st place for team relay.
Grace did herself and our team proud , getting 3rd for individual, im so happy for her! and Clarissa got in 1st , she is a natural excellent runner.
Philip got in 1st individual and Eugene 2nd. Awesome climbing i guess?
More long d runners rising up now, gee im glad:]


Last climb n run i could participate before i leave,
Last year to run it all before i leave.

One race down, many more races to come.

Oh my legs.

Argh i feel so _____up.

Climb and run this saturday and my leg muscles, calves , hamstrings whatever is aching like shit.
Oh, great just when i was about to run/climb my best to glorify ourselves as a team.

Please recover, legs. I need you to get me a mile further!

Welcome Declaration

yay our class is gonna be more crowded now with elaine, phoebe, yvonne and sujun back from Suzhou!

Welcome back ladies! :]

Im just practically wasting time in Studio when im supposed to render more furnitures of the Firmenich's office area.

Presentation next tues, and there is still the ppt and pboards on going to complete.

Gotta render at least a few more before i head down to training.
im crossing my fingers hoping its not speed workout again today.

I miss.

Had training today, the stadium was dark as the night starts falling.
The lights were faulty i guess, we were completing our last 200m before the sky gets really dark, especially after a short period of rain.

I was looking back at the track before i head down to the showers when i really felt nostalgic.
I didnt felt proud nor satisfied that ive completed Coach's workout today, when i normally would skip one or two sets, in fact, i felt the footprints i left in track, the bonds ive forged and everything else that comes along with it, are fading as every training swept by.

Im graduating next feb, im leaving the track not as NYP's athlete but just an individual standing on my own.

Was blog hopping, read Meiyi's blog and my heart surged with a sense of amazement about how sincere and compassionate she can be.
She will soar high as a nurse, and with her sincerity that she takes note of in her everyday life makes me feel proud of her.

I miss her, and Wanwen.

Hoping that ive got time to meet up, run and do some shopping with them soon.

Sorry that i havent got time to go shopping with you yet Meiyi, join us for a jog soon yea!

My blog is so uninteresting , i think no one really reads it.

On a random note, i feel like heading to Bintan to caress myself in the sea breeze! Gah, projects are such bitches.
