Awesome Sabah trip

Went for Community Oral Health posting last week to Sabah, a land I wish really much to visit again, BUT, hopefully not for the 3 years government service.. Hehe… It’s been my second visit there and I’ve YET to climb Mount KK… Lazy*ahem*rear gear, you’ve got to gear up real soon dear… lol.. Putting that aside, Sabah is a seriously nice place to be at.. It has everything in KL, well, almost, that you need in a much more relaxed state… Time just moves reeeeeEEEEEEAAAAALLLLL slow here…Case example:

Day 1-after finishing our formal business
Person 1: hey, it’s just 5 plus, wanna go out for dinner and shop a bit??
Everyone: Well, sure, since we have nothing on for the rest of the day anyways..
Went for the night market near the Filipino market, bought fruits, snacks, souvenirs, ate a wholesome seafood dinner with whole big coconuts and walked home
Person 2: I’ll bathe 1st!!
Person 3: Next is me!!
etc etc pre bed rituals…
Person 4: *yawns* I’m so sleepy, it’s gotta be 10-11pm now right??
Person 5: Duh, there’s 7 girls and 2 boys fighting for TWO bathrooms.. The waiting time itself is gonna be crazy long k?
Person 4: I guess so..
Person 6: Oh my gosh!! Guess what ppl, it’s not even 8pm yet!!
Everyone: You’re totally kidding right??
*checks watches, handphones for time frantically*
Everyone- *Eyes opened so wide it’s almost humanly impossible*

LOL… Real life story, people!! The next few days after that we shopped at Centre Point, went McDonalds, went for yumcha sessions, night markets etc and no matter what, it will never be over 10pm when we reached home.. And this is us WALKING everywhere… and after SUPPER… Ended up all the night owls in our group cleaned up their acts and slept early for a week… The POWER of Sabah…. Hahaha….
I think it’s because of the way the sun rises up at 5am plus and sets around 6pm… I thought we were late for our clinic visit the 1st day when I saw the day so bright outside our window and everyone still sleeping soundly when it was, can you believe it, 6am++ It’s been ages since I woke up at that time… And even then I needed my dad to shake me awake..Lol.. I miss those days….

So yup, here’s a quick introduction to Sabah!!
