Last Memories of Mount Kinabalu

Posted by danielctw On July - 7 - 2009

It was a pity, it all had to end so fast. Well, finally after what seemed to be more of a trilogy of events in Kota Kinabalu, the part has to end with us leaving the mountain. Yes, on the way down I took a feel of doing panaromic shots of a mountain from the view of Villosa Hut. What view to be seen though?

Of course if you didn’t catch my previous post regarding this trip, here they are.

Part 1 – Flight To Kota Kinabalu Sabah
Part 2 – Pulau Manukan Exploration
Part 3 – Kota Kinabalu Exploration Day
Part 4 – Kundasang War Memorial and Poring Hot Springs
Part 5 – Expected Climb Up Mt Kinabalu

By the way it was stitched together with Adobe Photoshop CS3.

This post will be more of a personal type. More group photos to commemorate the time the group had together.

Daniel at Villosa Hut

Alright, I lied. It’s more for me to show how did Daniel trekked down the mountain. Noticed anyone else familiar in this photo? I bet some of you would know. By the way, the weather was bad when we trekked up in the middle of the night. Raining and strong wind. But did we made it?

The Day I First Met Her

Posted by danielctw On May - 30 - 2009

Today is the 30th Of May 2009. I am just a guy who had been doing lots of browsing, going through the internet world, and 2 years ago, I had been joining this online chatbox community called ShoutOut. Well, to think why did I add this in the first place was due to the lively community then and I really should thank Lasker and Elise for that.

In the year 2007, time goes by as everyone gets to know each another. Then on that day doing my daily rounds, on the year 2008 dated 30th May, it was the day that I first got to know someone who will mean something special to me till this day.

For those have my facebook would roughly know who I am talking about.

Minnie Pose

Well, none other than Yen or in the ShoutOut world as prettypink. I must say it was a pleasure knowing her, on the 30th May 2008 and if I wasn’t around on that day and if she didn’t add ShoutOut, I guessed there won’t be any chance of meeting up. So this post is dedicated to her to mark this memorable day. :)

To think that we both had a smooth way to come to where we are, it’s not what it seems. We go through thick and thin to be where we are, at times it’s just like a fairytale story, knowing that it’s fate that brought us together to where we are.

Sometimes it really is magical, knowing that I don’t do certain things and then I do them. For an example this Youtube video of a Birthday Song.

Away To The Peak

Posted by danielctw On May - 1 - 2009

Hello Readers of Weird Weird Denial, yes, it’s me Daniel and I have something to say. Due to the fact that it’s now the holidays, I have taken the liberty to go on a trip somewhere.

Yes, I know that though I haven’t been updating frequently, I will miss you people, though I hope you all miss me too. :) It’s been such a long time since I last went on a traveling trip. Well, now that I’ve gotten a stable job and such, it’s time to do some traveling, and yes, prepare for more photos.

Miss You

Now where am I going? Let’s just say I traveled there once, so I am going there again. A clue is on the TITLE itself.

Another thing is I’ll be back the following week on Thursday, so I think with the help of my friendly guest bloggers, (yes.. they are still there whenever I am not around), I hope you give them your support as how they give me their support.

DanielCtw Will Be Right Back

Lots of kisses and hugs. (OMG a guy who says something like that!!!)

No More Memories

Posted by danielctw On January - 3 - 2009

I am not in a good mood. I am not happy. I lost all my previous datas from my laptop which was backup into an external hard disk. Now all my photos from my trip to Redang Island, Indonesia, Thailand and Perth, Australia is now totally missing. The external hard disk was formatted by my brother and just when I thought I have some photos to look at for this new year post, it turned into something which I feel that I have nothing to post now.

pissed off

Weird it may seem, I don’t think I’ve got the mood to post up a new year resolution, I can’t even do a flashback memory of my life now with all those photos gone.

What a way to start my new year and a new year post this year 2009. But in case you didn’t bother reading the above, have a New Year 2009

4 Years Graduated

Posted by danielctw On December - 14 - 2008

I was sitting in front of my desktop, in the room, lazying and wondering what is life to me? What are the importance of it, and looking aimlessly and wonderingly around the room. Then I saw the date on the wall, it showed 12th December 2004. December, surprisingly it’s now just 2 days past 12th December 2008. Time flies, those days I don’t really need to bother will I be able to be a good staff. I was more concerned of whether I can be the most noticed college student in the class.

Yup, so you have it, it’s been 4 years since I have graduated from my college, and boy… it was a short 3 to 4 years period of having fun, overnight stay and gossip of college mates pairing up with another. The time we skipped lecture just so that I can take advantage of finishing my assignments on time. The joy of skipping tutorials to go to a friends house and have a LAN party playing Ragnarok Online.

2004 Graduate Photo

Well, guessed lots have changed now. I am now on my 4th year working too, and suddenly one by one, my friends are getting along with life and some of them loves to give me their red bomb packet (wedding invitations). So off I go and cheer for them. Well, of course I am happy for them, who wouldn’t. :)

Funny, during my college years I don’t really go out a lot and used to like spending days at home. I guessed after one starts working, they can finally see that they have the expenses and modal to travel about. Let’s see.

Places I have been these past years after my graduation.

Daniel in Redang
I am not super thin. Look at my arms. They are proof.

Redang Island was a first after the completion of my final year in college. To say that I didn’t have fun would be an understatement. I am sure if you look thru the menu on the right, you’ll see a topic on Redang.

Daniel Chew on Mount Kinabalu

Not forgetting my first time traveling to the east of Malaysia. Where Borneo resides and conquered the tallest mountain or rather peak in South East Asia. Mount Kinabalu was a fun getaway for me. Funny, people say I do it once should be enough but looks like I will be going up again. Wheee~~

Thailand and Bangkok rhymes. Place where I got to see the Tiger Show, Miss Alcazar and other weird stuffs that Thais are able to see, and not in Malaysia. More weird antics, shooting the ping pong balls, opening the beer bottle with cleavage. It was also the day I tried my first insect food.

Indonesia or rather Jakarta. Was sent to this place for work purpose and though Jakarta is famous for it’s night life, I think I spent most of it on getting sick instead for at least about 9 days. That’s how bad the air and food for me during that time.

Perth, Australia would be the most enjoyable place I’ve been and to think I get to meet other people in Perth whom I only seen online. It sure was hell fantastic.

So what did I learned during these 4 years, I think I learnt that I have many more years to learn. Arghhhh….

Looking forward to tomorrow’s plan. :)
