Because I’m a fan and Deo’s my friend/former officemate :)
UPDATE: A map from wikimapia.org. Now you won’t have the “I can’t find the venue” alibi. :)
After what seemed like a decade-long hiatus, I’m posting entries again — and, hopefully, not just shameless plugs like this. And here’s my temporary New Year (and Chinese New Year) entry: “Hello 2009!”
I was jolted from deep slumber by the sound of hastily made footsteps. I stared at the ceiling and realized that I was not in my room. After a quick recount of the events that happened the previous day, I gathered that I was in another country, in my uncle’s house, in my cousin’s room, on a queen size mattress which I got from my uncle after getting a slightly used one from one of his Filipino friends who wanted to get rid it.
I went downstairs and saw my uncle and my aunt having breakfast, while my cousin Miko zoomed around the place getting ready for school and Jaf was playing the piano. After having a quick cup of coffee (I didn’t even comb my hair, not that it needed it anyway xD), my uncle asked me to go with him to drive Miko to school. He was already opening the gate when I came back from washing (short of splashing water on) my face.
It was only until I sat on the passenger seat that I came to realize how beautiful the sky was that morning.
After months of planning, my Malaysia trip finally pushed through. Along with it came my newest, most sought after and most expensive gadget yet, my very own Nikon D80! Talk about good timing! Of course, acquiring this new toy entailed one small problem: post-processing tons of photos — one of the many reasons why I wasn’t able to blog everyday during the entire trip. But hey, I’m not one to complain, am I?
I left for Malaysia last week, July 9, taking a Philtranco bus going to Clark where an AirAsia flight would take me to Kota Kinabalu and then to Kuching the following morning. But not before bidding my office friends farewell. Poor things, I thought, they’d be stuck with work while wander off in another part of the globe. Haha.
There were a lot of firsts on this trip, the actual trip being one of them — taking connecting flights; spending the night in a lodge with only the knowledge of it being run by a Filipino; binge eating a lot of Roti Canai and Nasi Lemak (bear in mind that I haven’t been eating rice lately, but I made this trip an exception); eating dimsum with ketchup (Yup. Not soy sauce and calamansi); walking around a town I haven’t been to before; taking photos in public where one would normally lose his camera (and his dominant arm, sometimes) the moment he takes his eyes off it; going to the rainforest music festival and getting to toy with an Angklung; among many others. I plan on going into detail of each day I spent there sometime this week on a daily basis (I hope).
