OH MY GOD SABAH WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY LIFE

I think living this kind of life is going to be a hell lot tougher than really is. I need a calender to jot down every bloody detail next time. 'Specially without my damn handy one around anymore

GOD WHY

Sabahhhhh 2

K, time for Poring Hot Springs or Boring Hot Springs as they say. >_>

Rain was pretty damn heavy after climbing down the summit BUT I DIDN'T GET CAUGHT BY IT COZ I CAME DOWN EARLY oh yeah arjun we're awesome np. Koreans are scary as usual what with their HI LETS CHASE EACH OTHER DOWN THE ENTIRE TRAIL AND CLEAR THE WHOLE THING IN 2 HOURS acts. I swear there's something to that.

And at the dorms I finally get control of my large bag after putting at the National Parks area and take out my handphone to make one very important sms

"Hi asshole how was afa >_>"

And got a reply requiring the usage of an internetz so I ignored it and cursed the person who sent it. Meanwhile, I got another important sms (not just an sms, actually, more of a few but I'll sum it up)

"sorry your not in"

And cursed the person who send it. Then we went to dinner where we played random games amongst John Ezra Wes and I and my head said some very disturbing stuff

"Shoot PC SHAG RAYMOND (makes shagging motions)" and everyone was too traumatized by the acts of my head to realize that he just implied that he'd marry Noridah the ugly fatass. That's even greater juxtaposition right there than just the Mao n' Muthu pair. Damn.

Then go hotsprings which are sulphur and dark and overrated but I get to be alone in the hot springs and relak so all is good. And got bats here and there flying around and stuff lol.

Then sleep because sleep is good but waking up and seeing Clifford and Clement on the same bed just across mine is not. Cue Joshua's enthu "THIS IS GOOD WEATHER I WANT TO PITCH TENTS" and "ANY SCOUTS WHO ARE AWAKE GO PITCH TENTS" and Clement's "I WANT TO PITCH TENTS WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP PRASAD" and so on. Cereal is good for breakfast but 2 day's worth of cereal and instant noodles getting eaten up in one breakfast is not.

Lunch is awesome coz cheap awesome food is always good. Getting ownt by Azmi is not, however >_> CIP is awesome slack for my group but not the other group as I heard the methodists talk about Prasad's potential future as a bangla worker harharhar meanwhile my group does raking and sweeping and picking up fence remains. Neil is a serial rakist harharhar. Oh and Basil is strong man np can break wood power2u np

"DIE RANDI DIE RANDI DIE RANDI"
"try something different man, it's quite bad doing that"
"DIE AZMI DIE AZMI DIE AZMI"

Then is slack and bridge coz bridge is awesome, yeah. Then dinner where we cook instant noodles for ourselves and everyone is busy wondering where the hell the instant noodles have gone and they realize to themselves THE BLOODY INDEPENDENTS MUST'VE DONE IT THEY MUST'VE ATE ALL THE INSTANT NOODLES WHEN THEY COOKED THEIR OWN FOOD FOR LUNCH ALL 4 OF THEM BLOODY ATE UP THE FOOD SUPPLY OF 34 PEOPLE yeah totally. >_>

Then go hotsprings again and slack around with Wesley. Hooooooooooooooooooooooooootspringssssssssssssssssss. >_>

Oh the way back to chalet we see a bunch of people playing around at the side. What are they doing? And I see Jasper taking photos with exposed shuttle time and everyone making messages with Ka Foo's Class 3 laser (Yes people that's Class 3 and as Ka Foo says can burn your eyes in 0.25s though personally I don't think commercially available lasers would do that, even if they needed a license. BUT GUNS ARE FINE AND ALL IN AMERICA SO) and credits go to Ka Foo's ever-so-blatant "I love Stacey" and "I love Jasmine" and on and on.

Then go chalet slack (the teachers booked the chalet instead because it was only 90 ringgit more expensive than the dorms, genius ain't that) and slack and slack and watch VIDEO ZONKERS oh god the flasher and the fat woman.

Then sleep in tent and hear Jasper's ultimate emo against Rodney. Rodney <3 Goats harharhar

Third day is moar cereal and Randi refuses to give his cereal because he's like MYYYYYYYYY CEREALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL RAWRRRRRRRRRR etc. Not really but exaggerations are always useful aren't they. Meanwhile at 9am got canopy walk where everyone's like AAAAHHHHHHHH MY LEGSSSSSSSSS THE HIKEEEEEEEEE IT'S KILLING MEEEEEEE AAAAHHHHHH etc. Then everyone heads for the waterfall where everyone has fun getting themselves wet and Jasper finds fish to play around with and he's like AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH THE FISHHHHHHHHHHH THEY TICKLEEEEEEEEEEEE and then we find a snake (Ka Foo, Neil, Jasper, Wesley, Clifford and I) and Ka Foo goes RAWR and catches the snake (no it's not poisonous)

Then is butterfly farm where we see butterflies flutterby and that's about it. Got some cool spider that's twohorned and stuff but that's about it. Then on the way back got manly ranger grab a hugeass poisonous snake and go WHACK WHACK WHACK and coiled the snake around his hand and ran off. Like whoa.

Lunch outside at awesome chinese cheapass restaurant where Jasper tells everyone about the manly ranger and everyone on my table stares at Clifford wait for Western Food because buying western food at a chinese restaurant is the way, totally yeah.

Moar CIP and this time it's actually tiring coz instead of handling leaves we're handling stones this time. gg human chain fail. God spading is terrible

Dinner is various cookings by various people in the chalet, from Teck Jan to J.Lee to Mr Yap and J. After that everyone listens to niggerap and gets their eyes burnt by Ka Foo walking around halfnaked in the chalet. Wearing jacket without wearing shirts is the new fashion

"KA FOO CAN YOU AT LEAST PUT ON A SHIRT"

More niggerap and more niggerap and Danny falls in love with OH HOT DAMN THIS IS MY JAM KEEP ME PARTYIN TILL THE A M

and Ezra and Arjun and Danny and I were like OH HOT DAMN THIS IS MY JAM and IN THE AYER AY AYER AYER AY AYER and so on. And everyone heads off to the campfire after watching 2 hours of music. Tok kok sing song play mahjong (except the last one since we don't actually have mahjong tiles and bridge is as good a substitute anyway) until the rain comes and we haveta go back to the chalet or face being drenched again (I think. memory a bit blur). Some point here we go and take our stuff from the tent coz it was completely drenched but I can't remember. Go Kseah's room and play random hokkien/indian/indonesian game then play pushup blackjack WHICH IS BLOODY RIGGED WTF WHY DO I DO 28 WHEN EVERYONE ELSE DOES 4 AND 6 but nvm. Sleep is good and sleep is desired so I sleep sometime after that. BUT BEFORE THAT I decide to go downstairs and Arjun and I decide that drinking something is important

BUT THERE IS NOTHING BUT MILK

so we look around for water in the fridge

BUT THERE IS NOTHING BUT MILK

and we decide to go and take some milk

BUT RANDI SAYS DON'T TAKE THE MILK

why we ask AND HE SAYS BECAUSE IT'S FOR TOMORROW'S CEREAL

WHICH WAS ALL EATEN UP AND WE'RE EATING OUT TOMORROW

BUT HE SAYS DON'T TAKE THE MILK ANYWAY

so we take the unopened carton of milk and we both drink half a carton

OH GOD THE NEXT DAY AAAAHHH THAT WAS SO TERRIBLE

Randi speaks good advice so don't drink the bloody milk if Randi says don't drink the milk damnit. I don't want to go through that diarrhoea again. >_>

Last day we strike our tent (which only Rodney does because he's imba and I've diarrhoea) and head for Radius hotel again yeahhhhhhhhh

Then we go yeahhhhhhhhh

And we're like yeahhhhhhhhh

But we all sleep on the bus coz we're all too bloody tired. >_>

So like the 5.3 gang gets to the back of the bus and Danny joins after that and what's the first thing we all do together

OH HOT DAMN THIS IS MY JAM KEEP ME PARTYIN' TILL THE A M

STICK MY HANDS IN THE AYER AY AYER AYER AY AYER

fuckyeah

Then we go play a hell lot of arcade and LAN and I go buy random stuff and we go for dinner and I have to fly back

God I just realized I left out a hell lot of details. Meh that goes for next time

A SECTION OF RANDI'S RANDOM ADVENTURES III WHOM WE ALL LOVE

Randi is feeling an ego boost from climbing Mount Kinabalu which the number 1 backstabber (his archnemesis) choked after climbing 570m in.

Everybody loves Randi

Sabahhhhh 1

Finally back from Sabah.

It's been amazingly wonderful at times, insanely painful at others, highly unproductive at some and very not-worth-it occasionally. But all in all it's been a great trip and an enjoyable one at that.

I sincerely hope certain things never become prominent, particularly of certain individuals and techniques >_>

Radius Hotel is an awesome place for cheap money. Centrepoint is a pretty good place to be.

Oh man, Malaysian arcades are so cheap. I don't get it. Why is a game of Pump it Up less than a quarter of the Singaporean price? Why do video games literally cost a quarter?

Well, at least thanks to that it was pretty awesome to play Fate/Unlimited Codes (Yeah wth Sabah got games that Singapore doesn't have, what's up with that) and on the topic of F/UC (yes I get that) why the hell is launching so impossible and why can't you airdash and why is the computer Berzerker so imba omg ._.

AND I STILL CAN'T PASS MR. LARPUS ON HARD WTH. sian

Ignoring the above arcade speech, the mountain climb was hard. Insanely hard. Mesilau isn't an easy route, but one heck of a scenic and beautiful one (at some points. Some are just painful) what with its waterfalls, rapids, mountainside views and what I personally regard as sky gardens. All said and done, even though it was a pain of a hike up to Laban Rata it was hella worth it. Pity I ain't got me a camera nor a facebook account so I ain't got the pics. =\

Summit climb however was a different case >_>. 8 deg. C at Laban Rata at 2.30am is not condusive weather for climbing up to the summit especially since the summit was 1km higher and probably 8deg colder. Figures, huh. In any case, Arjun's gloves are <3 though he couldn't climb up. You would've seen a wonderful view that I didn't, dude. =p

Bugger weather was so freezing at the summit top that I gave up waiting for sunrise and set down before that. Apparently it was quite a good view. Meh =\ Well, it was worse for others, of course. Ahem people who wore one layer of clothing to the top and wore shorts and didn't bring gloves and people who broke their slippers and people who broke their shoes and people who had to be brought down back to the summit checkpoint by porters ahemprasadahem.

I hate climbing uphill at 45 inclines with rope. Man, that was terrible. I also hate climbing downhill at 45 inclines with/out rope. Terrible as well.

After climbing down back to Laban Rata though we (arjun/wesley/john/teckjun/david) decided to head down asap and left around 9.50 (after much camwhoring on the generator in the highest sky garden). Thank god too, the rain started pretty soon after I reached the bottom checkpoint. So the only people who were dry were David, Arjun and I. Oh, and bloody independent koreans.

ON ANOTHER NOTE ABOUT THE KOREANS THEY ARE FREAKING SCARY AND FIT AND EVEN MORESO THAN J.LEE WTF. Begin Mesilau trail at 8am, and most people reach around 5-6pm. I reach around 4pm (Go me fastest non-scout non-Korean/independent dude muahaha) and the fit scouts (ie J.Lee, Shawn Nai, Basil (somehow), Clifford, etc) reach around 2.20pm AND BLOODY KOREANS REACH AT 1.40PM WTF. Oh god Koreans are scary people.

Yet another note on complaining and annoyingness WHAT IS UP WITH MESILAU WHY WAS IT CHOSEN WTH. Ok it was worth it in the end admittedly but curse you Azmi for choosing the route. AND CURSE YOU EVEN MORE FOR TURNING BACK 1KM INTO IT LOL. Good to know you care for people like Clement (Who gave up 500m in lolwut >_>)

A later post for the poring hot springs which we went to after climbing down the summit (I suppose very few people here play RO >_>).

Madness

Pycha: I know now why I am mad.

Achyp: What is it, Pycha? The mind? The soul?

Pycha: The ascent. It drives people to madness.

Apych: Indeed it does. Those striving for the top soon find themselves climbing mountains of corpses, crossing bridges of bones, and conquering bloodied heights.

Pyach: Then perhaps you should have said so to Achyp earlier.

Apych: I thought he'd have known.

Achyp: ...the ascent, indeed. It turns you to a mindless vessel. A body of knowledge and thought. A lesser being. The answering machine, the mechanical being.

Pyach: Isn't it ironic, Pycha? That those aiming for the top merely become tools for those below. Is it altruism? Is it parasitism?

Pycha: It is reality. It is not a unique situation, nor will it be. I have witnessed this before in others, have I not?

Pycha, Pyach, Achyp, Apych: Indeed I have.

Pycha: It comes then without saying that such will happen to me too.

Pyach: Yet isn't it queer? Something strikes you apart from those who succeed.

Apych: Yes, perhaps it is not the ascent but the self.

Achyp: The mind, the soul.

Pycha: The goals. The ideologies have corrupted them both. It has been a foolish ideal to uphold; a foolish oath to keep.

Achyp: But the hope, Pycha. Does it still exist?

Pyach: The hope is neither a means nor an end. What purpose does it serve?

Apych: None but to send the self further into the wilderness. I thought you'd have known.

Pyach: It was rhetoric.

Apych: And it was sarcasm.

Achyp: The goals, though. What went wrong there?

Pycha: The goals themselves were wrong. But how? I am not sure. The mindset? The dedication? Yes, the dedication. The need for the ascent. It has driven us to madness.

Pycha, Pyach, Achyp, Apych: Indeed it has.

Pycha: Do you call it a pity?

Apych: Perhaps you'd rather call it a pittance.

Pycha, Pyach, Achyp, Apych: A pittance, indeed.
