that's Hot!!!

The weather must’ve been forecasted cloudy in KK, Sabah.
We didn’t know, I did not bother. Not until now when I look back on the pictures, that it dawned upon me… yes, most of the sky shots were filled with ‘awans’ that ‘berkepul-kepuled~‘. The differences, are only, if I must say, it was in the tone of them all. They started with very bright sunny blue on a hot afternoon, then adjourned to very bright auburn with sparks of ray bouncing off the balmy sea, courtesy from the still-setting sun… and finally ends with purplish-fuchsia sky with some intimidating yet calming strikes of yellow… gently marking the end of yet another slow and peaceful day in Kota Kinabalu… capital of indeed, the Land below the wind…

I do wonder, apart from me being so blissfully ignorant and taking-for-granted of it all, do most locals actually realize that we have such treasure troves here on our own land? Do we really always, need foreigners to remind us that they flock here to our land, for the natural and beautiful islands and beaches? (not to mention their stupendously crazy exchange rate duh-…). Along our 4d3n stay at the Shangri-la Rasa Ria at Pantai Dalit, KK… we saw that most of their guests were Eurasians, Japanese, Koreans, Hongkies, even Singaporeans… in fact I think we were the only locals around. Hmm… perhaps, after all, i am only reminding me-self here... ^ ^


Our second day at Rasa Ria… was having fun soakin’ in the warm waters of their 1.4m pool… when I just had this queer feeling that somehow it must’ve been it. That sort of really cut short my intended trip to the Jacuzzi, and the rest of the evening was spent agonizing over bowls of deliciously enticing bak-kut-teh. Yet, I was really, ‘not really there’ at that time. But now when I look back at the pictures taken so painstakingly at the jetty, Yes… those shots were in fact some the most calming ones now…


So now that I’m back here in KL, done with this round of my vacation doing nothing at all but laze on the deck chairs staring at the crazy blue skies, it’s getting back to work as usual, waking up at the ‘normal’ 6.45am again… =‘(
I’ve decided that perhaps I should have in place as an act of self-consolation, a rotation of those beautiful pictures we took to be my lappie’s wallpaper… the sights that greet me each day, for the 3 short days… during our stay at room 159, the Shangri-la Rasa Ria.


And yes, I shall make it a point to be back… =>



another itch scratched...
