Sabah Day 4 (19-1-2006)

Well woke up really late~ since we stayed up till 4am to chit chat. Derek's mom picked us up from his house at around lunchtime to his grandparents place. Then after lunch, we waited for his Aunt (who happens to be a part time tour guide) to bring us out.

She brought us to the Philippino market to take a look. They've got this weird smell in the market, and TONS of spidy webs.. so I wasn't really enjoying too much. But they're got a great variety of things to sell, mostly shell decorations, masks, T-shirts, jewelleries. I didn't dare take much pics at first..cos i thot the shopkeepers may not be happy abt it. But when i saw auntie rosemary taking
her camera out and snapping pictures, i juz follow~ saw this real frog pouch there.. really disgusting.. cos like i think they dug out everything inside then they process onto making it. YUCks don't wanna think about it anymore.. we spent quite sometime walking ard the place. Derek bought me a souvenir t-shirt that says "WELCOME TO SABAH", then got Dory and Nemo's Dad on it.. hahaha so cute

we went to another section of the market, where they were selling mostly groceries, food.. and there were alot of salted fish...after awhile, we realise that we're spending too much time at the market. so we moved onto go to the Museum...

By the time we reached the museum, it was already 4.55pm.. and the place is closing at 5pm.. so we rushed into the place la.. hopefully they will let us in~.. and YEAH.. they realli did.. for free since it's only 5mins.. we took a quick glance thru most of the sections.. they hav quite interestin stuff.. but then no photos are allowed.. so no photos frm inside the museum....

after a quick tour inside the museum, his aun t brought us to the side path at the side of the museum which looks dodgy(like a bit the cannot make it...).. and i was kinda scared.. cos it looks as if we're going into a forest like that.. i scared of the creepy crawlies maHH... aniwae.. walked on and there was this suspension bridge.. leading across this pond.. haha.. not really scary one la..
walk only... but got 10 person weight limit.. but we only hav 4 person in total.. so it doesn't realli matter does it...

at the other end of the bridge, the museum has recreated the scene frm old time sabah.. with the houses and pond and a meeting hall for the community.. a LOT of mozzies.. i think cos the pond water is super stagnant.. omg.. forgot how many bites i got there...near the edgeof the big pong.. i saw this pink colour stuff.. his aunt told me that it is frog eggs... and the white bunches are frog eggs with fungus that grew on it.. omg.. gross rite.. i think enuff of gross stuff... so we walked ard.. admiring the scenary...

at one point in time, we were walking near the parameter of the museum, and you can see pass the fence to the outside.. and i saw this kinda super old house.. and with pple living there woh... wad a mix of diff in "time" i dunno how to put it.. on the outside.. most stuff look averagely modern.. but still there exist this kinda old hse...

aniwae.. after the tour finish, we went back to derek's grandparents place and waited for derek's mom to take us out for dinner

we had dinner in this jap restaurant.. all 4 of us had the same set i think.. the sashimi is superb~ and the set is SUPER filling.. bloated after the dinner

on the way back home, we drove to a nearby mini-mart to buy stuff to get ready for tml derek's bdae party~ the cakes, the soft drink blahhh...

after waiting at home for awhile.. derek's frenz called us out.. so we went to this place... i forgot the name.. and hung out for a while..

there were like live band and we drank some stuff and chit chat.. the guys ended up chatting abt cards.. and it was like BORING. hahaha.. so then we wanted to drive to UMS (uni of m'sia sabah) to show one of his fren's niece since she is here for tour as well.. the place look different at night (frm the outside), we're denied of entry as they are already close.. so they went back to derek's place to chit chat again.. i think we hang out till like 2am - 3am in the morning.. and decided we shld get some rest.. ahhaha crazy pple rite..like cannot finish tokin like that...
