Atmosphere, Kota Kinabalu

I went to Atmosphere, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Guess what. For 2 years i'm in sabah, this is my first time i entered this place. Even this building is so near to UMS.

The building is called Yayasan Sabah. Inside there is the restaurant.
This is atmosphere. Restaurant at the 18th floor.
The floor is spinning around. Including those tables, sofas, bar counter. Only the wall and the stairs remains static.
When i walk at the floor, i feel A LITTLE DIZZY. Well i pantang things that turn 360 left to right or vice versa.
I looked at the menu and the price for the cocktail is around RM20+, lucky that time is Happy Hour (9pm-12midngiht). So the price for a cocktail is Rm11.40 without tax.
We ordered Margarita, Mai Tai(me), Long Island Ice Tea, Gin Sling. All this is cocktails. My cocktail is like orange juice's taste with Gin. Not very nice. The best is Margarita and Gin Sling.
Kinda bored cos we can only take photos and socialize with people there other than drinking.
We actually took some pictures using handphones but then his memory card suddenly spoil :(

Padas River Rafting

I went rafting with couples of friends on 10th april. Almost 1 month ago and now only i'm blogging bout it :P
We started our journey at 7am meeting at Kingfisher's bus stop. But as usual, there will always someone that comes late :(

Then we leave from the bus stop at around 8am. The rafting company's driver send us up. This picture is when we on the way up in the van. There are 12 of us. Only 11 person is in the picture cos another one is the person taking this picture. hehe!

It's a long way up and the stipness is 19 degree!!! We felt like our van can't even move. But fortunately, the van we sat is Mercedes.
This is when we are half way top. The mountain behind is called "Banjaran Crocker"!!!
This is the time when my slipper can no longer be used cos it tear off :(
but thanks to Joyce(the girl in pink), she borrowed me her slipper :)

We finally reached a village in Tawau. This is when we get down and continue our journey by using trolley. We can use train but it is the best experience ever. The trolley is made up by a strong wood. Rectangular shape where can only fit 4 person and another person known as "driver" for that trolley. But the "driver" have to stand and another 4 is the one sitting.
Below the trolley, is 4 bearing which rolls by the rail way.And another interesting part is, the trolley is open air where we can't grip on anywhere other than our friends. Imagine those cartoon show. in a mine, they will have a trolley and they sit inside. It's the same as this except this is open air.
Quite dangerous but it's fun!!
We finally reached our starting point of rafting. We take a break, ate watermelons, cakes and get some briefing bout our safety during rafting from our guide.
We then choosed our group of 8 cos we have 24 person and we have 3 rafts.
After we are ready, we start our rafting!!!!
The river is a running river where the water flows only one direction with strong current.
There are 4 levels of "fighting current" i'm not very sure bout the name. Level 4 is the highest and crazy-est, followed by level 3,level 2, and level 1.
My group manage to control our raft so that it didn't capsice(not very sure bout the spelling but the meaning is over-turn/terbalik). Other 2 groups over-turned and we have to help them to avoid from flowing in a strong currrent water.
We get to experience Flying-fish(a water game where our raft is about 45 degree or more facing up), Banana boat(got cheated by the guide where he asked us to sit by the side and he push us all into the river), Balancing(all of us have to stand by the side of the raft and balance ourselves). All of us had a "small war" among the 3 rafts where we make others fall into the river. muahaha!! But all this game is played when the current is not strong.
We stopped after 10km of rafting to take our lunch( mee goreng, nasi goreng, hotdog, fried chicken, vegetables, fruits) then we continue rafting for another 9km.
We end our rafting near a train station so we can take the train to Beufort where our transport is waiting for us.
Sorry i don't have the pictures during this time cos none of us brought water-proof camera :(
So sad!
This is the 12 person from UMS joining this rafting activity. The guy that didn't wear t-shirt is our guide known as Kent. The girls said he look like "The Rock from WWF"



This is the 24 people joining this trip. 5 of them are from Singapore and out of that 5, 2 of them are French.


This is outside Beufort Train Station.
We received a certificate. "Certificate of Survival" haha!! It was fun and the money we paid is worth it!
Some of my friends willing to go again next time. For me, i'm satisfied. My cousin wei kwang will be going rafting with his friends after Mount Kinabalu on 25th may. That time i'm on my way back to Klang.
Home-sweet-home!!

Over!

yahoo finally exams are all over yesterday.
So glad so happy!
Went to 1 Borneo(a shopping complex right outside UMS) with my room-mates and bunch of friends right after the exam.
Went to a cafe known as Apple Cafe to take our lunch which at that time is around 530pm *cos we didn't take our lunch or breakfast before exam. Kinda expensive cos i took one meat and one vege is already RM4.
Then we head to a pool centre. Played kinda long there where i spend around RM4. But it was a hell lots of fun! The rate is 2pm-8pm(Happy hour) - RM8 per hour.
After playing pool, my friends head to the game machine. They played the basketball game where we have to throw the ball into the ring to score points. I did not play so i watch them play.
Then we walk one whole round at the Lower Ground Floor where most of the shops are food shops to decide what we want to eat for our dinner. Finally we end up eating at Manhattan Fish Market.
All of us took the same set Fish and Chip with add on of Prawn/Squid or Coleslaw. They are having a promotion where if we order this set, we will get one Dory fish for free. Plus if the cost is more than Rm17, we will get soup-of-the-day + ice peach tea/sprite/100+ for free. MFM also have their student price where students will get 15% discount. We calculate which promotion is more benefiting for us and we decide to take the soup-of-the-day promotion :P
After taking our dinner, we head back to UMS to end our enjoying day.
I watched ManUnited game against Arsenal and i slept at around 5am.
And in the same morning, my course and my semi course had a meeting with our lecturers to do our final year project1 and project2 at 9am.
As i thought i get to feel relax after finishing all those finals, now i have to crack my brain to choose my supervisor :S oh God! When can i get my break? I have to choose a supervisor before i go back hometown for holidays which is around 19 more days from today.
That's all from me today. Sorry ya no pictures cos i don't have a camera.
~The End~
