I’m left with a concourse of thoughts on where to begin writing about my 4-day KK sojourn. It didn’t fully live up to my expectancies in terms of natural ambiance. The island snorkelling loses out to Tioman. I’m sure there are better islands than those. The Poring Hot Springs was a thigh-slapper - their idea of a hot spring were bathtubs. LOL! KK Park was devoid of life, more for those who want to elevate the mountain. The view though, was staggeringly breathtaking. A tingling sensation on the balls. LOL.
The hoi polloi, to sum it up in a single word - FRIENDLY. Without pretence palsy-walsy people. 
And that made the trip so worthwhile that I’m earnestly excogitating to go there next May for the local harvest festival, and maybe this time, for a week. Need to get the whitewater rafting sorted out. 
The highlight for me was cannonballing along in a Kancil from Poring Hot Springs, some 150km back to the city, and plumped in under 2 hours. 3:45pm, arrived 5:30pm. It was F1-like balls of steel drive, with the help of my co-pilot Ravind. The only thing absent were our driving helmets. LOL! We were overhauling hoards of vehicle, pickups, trucks, lorries, none were spared. The kancil was indeed zippy though it had a knavish first gear.
We splurged on liquor and booze on all 3 nights, had slumbered under 14 hours in 4 nights. Forced insomnia. But, we did what we came here for, we painted the town red. 3 bottles were swigged. And the company we had for all 3 nights, were nothing short of amazing! 
Hmmm…I thought the cowboy hat and the snorkeling gear made me one of them, don’t you think? LOL. I will come back for you, Kota Kinabalu. 
Going Snorkelling, Brokeback Style! LOL

Snorkling on the Islands around KK is for people who do not have time to venture further I guess. Sipadan, Pulau Tiga are at a different league
December 5th, 2006 at 10:57am
meekiee I did, we made the best out of it.
Gaman Agreed, I’m sure there are better islands to visit, and will be doing just that for my next KK excursion. Any recommendations (in KK) apart from the snake-infested Pulau Tiga?
December 5th, 2006 at 3:44pm
cool… i want to got to KK too… hoping to go next year to Sipadan, and catch myself a pirate… Arrgggrr.
December 5th, 2006 at 3:45pm
I like the life guard pose… whoes bag lah that wan?
oooo… the sunset shot….very nice…
December 5th, 2006 at 4:31pm
uh oh… looks like someone is turning in… A CAMWHORE!!!
December 5th, 2006 at 4:52pm
Mo Sipadan would be fabulous, but I’ve some unfinished business in KK.
The bag belongs to the lifeguard.
philters Errr…I don’t think so. Go check the definition of camwhore, I think you’re getting it mixed up.
December 5th, 2006 at 5:49pm
evil is upon you… you got to dive at sipadan it one of the best dive sites in the world….just watch out for the philippine pirates they might take you for ransom…but kidding aside its one of the best dive sites ive ever been too… if your not a lic. divers you still can go down on one of those introductory dives… you wont regret it
December 5th, 2006 at 6:42pm
from urbandictionary.com:
- camwhore: n. Anyone, male or female, who is addicted to taking countless pictures of themselves to post on the internet.
good enough for me
bloggers have these sort of tendencies. its okay as long as you don’t go overboard with it alrite.
and i agree with lucifer, check out sipadan. its a waste to go all the way to sabah and miss out on the dive.
December 5th, 2006 at 8:41pm
I agree with you about Poring Hot Spring. What is so hot about it? But what hurt us most was heavy rain, very heavy rain, we didn’t climb up the mountain.
The 3 islands actually not too bad for snorkeling if u go at the right time
December 5th, 2006 at 8:46pm
Ahh KK here I come! I’m going to KK next year too!!! Wohoooooooo!
And I like all your camwhoring poses. Hahaha
December 5th, 2006 at 9:33pm
Great to here you had muchos of fun. Here’s an early bday wish, HAPPY BIRTHDAY koh koh
December 5th, 2006 at 10:15pm
Lucifer Oh thank you oh horny one, Sipadan is definitely on the list. As I said, I know KK has a lot more to offer. Was thinking of getting a diving license first from Padi. The million dollar question is, when?
philters Was that countless? LOL. Hope I didn’t go overboard, usually I only post them when I gallivant.
Keep me in check please…
Bengbeng Yes, that was a disappointment. Sorry to hear about the heavy rain, I was kinda blessed with excellent sunshine throughout my stay. Well, the islands are nowhere as good as the back-then Tioman. Whitewater rafting?
Che-Cheh When you going?
Lex Danke little one. I shall pass on my spiritualism for you to continue the JD dynasty.

I’ll be more than happy to continue the legacy.. this weekend then?
December 6th, 2006 at 1:34am

December 6th, 2006 at 7:39am
Wei..how was the mountain? You didn’t go up? WTF? I’m going up next april! some of my frens are doing the whitewater rafting but i gave it a pass….is it scary?
December 6th, 2006 at 9:19am
So glad to know you had a great trip there.
I’m sure you’re gonna enjoy Bali, too.
Btw, Many Happy Returns - whenever your birthday is or was.
December 6th, 2006 at 9:23am
Robert Thanks man!
And thanks. It’s “is”. 
Lex Were there any in the first place?
philters Yes and thanks.
tihtahpah Didn’t go up the mountain as I don’t think it’s worth it, I’m more of an island person. I will do the whitewater rafting in my next trip to KK, hopefully next May.
Jemima Bali should be good (again!), but the one I’m looking forward to the most again is Seoul for New Year’s Eve.
December 6th, 2006 at 8:22pm
