Gah. Who wakes up at 7am in a holiday? ;_; Me, apparently. ;_;

My eyes are itchy.

Dammit.


...okay where was I, um///

oh yeah! KK (kota kinabalu) tour in Sabah, Malaysia...there is a mountain called Mt. Kinabalu, yes...and it's the highest point in South East Asia, yes... >.> and me and William climbed to the summit ;_; it's higher than Mt. Cook. But not as cold. Cause we're at the equator. And such. But yeah. >.> Height of um ~4100m. Imagine a whole lot of sky towers stacked together...yeah.

My legs are still sore from day before >.>

Things learnt while climbing:

Climbing is very tiring.
Going down is just as hard as going up.
Don't bring so much stuff next time o_O

We had acool guide. We stayed and had dinner, like, 3500m above sea level. Hardkore. All the stuff there was lugged up by people! People I tell you, the beds we slept on, the water heater, the cooking stuff for the peopel who made us the dinner BLARRr every little bit was carried up there >< imagine carrying a mattress up. ;_; well, you probably don't realise how high and high and um high the mountain is. 4100 is a very...unobtrusive number, on the screen.

I was surprised too at how high we went...>.> realised on the way coming down (like, 99% downhill. steps. steps.)

It was way fun though. I mean, who else can say they've been to the highest point of South East Asia? >.> The other people who were climbing it ;_;

On the day of the summit ascent we woke up at 1.45am to start going again o_O so that we could hopefully catch the sunrise. We made it to the top by 5:10am but it was a cloudy day so there wasn't much of a brilliant sunrise. And geez it's cold at that level. >.>

4100 is like....how high some of the planes go >.>

ok and then what else...um

Oh yeah, Kim's school is being stupid and collecting newspapers to sell. I mean, it's actually kind of scary. Newspaper everywhere...>.> i thought a school was for learning and that stuff, not collection of newspaper =)

Watching peopel pick fruit is hilarious. It's like an art. They have to like, fondle the fruit just to make sure that somehow they can accurately figure out the sugar levels of say, a persimmon or wahtever >.>

My legs are still sore ;_;

I got offered the awesomest parttime jobby thing, marking CS101 assignments >.> The pay seems a lot higher than what I get at Rec centre >.>

I love ingredient listings. Especially where they do things like this:

(eg ingredients for a sauce)

Salt
Sugar
Spices
Sauce Flavouring

They might as well do this:
