12th of November, the day I reached this wonderful place. 13th of November, the day I reunite with my long lost cousin HAHAHAHA I shouldn't say that, it should be the cousin I haven't seen for years. The last time I came here is when I'm primary 5, the last time I saw him is when he visited me in KL two years ago. Yeah he is still someone that is long lost from my life.
We played from Kota Kinabalu to Kundasang then to Kudat. Still we aren't satisfy. Gosh, who will ? It's just a couple of days of fun :( That few days of fun are so asdfghjkl precious, that is really what I called cousin spree xD
On the 21st of November, I officially left Kudat for this Sabah trip. I will definitely go back again, trust me. That night, we said goodbye. I always hate farewells. I usually can't bear it and will cry in my room or somewhere the next second. But this time, he made me laugh before I go. He gave me a bow and he held out a hand asking for a handshake. I shook his hand nervously, afraid that I would feel sad or maybe cry for this leave. I guess he must have understood it that he looked at me and smile and bye is the last word I heard from him that day.
On the 22nd of November, we went back to Kota Kinabalu. Our flight back to KL is on the 26th of November, the reason why we left Kudat that early is that there is a evangelistic talk which extend a few days in KK (short form for Kota Kinabalu). So for all of our convenience, we went back earlier to listen to it. Actually I was quite disappointed for leaving Kudat that early :( Not that I don't want to listen to the talk. It's that we usually go Sabah or I could say Kudat for a total month and not just two weeks T^T Furthermore, going back to Sabah will only happen once in a blue moon. Unlike Singapore, I usually go there to meet my cousins every year, sometimes even twice or trice a year. Honestly, if you had give me a choice to go to Sabah or Singapore, I'd rather choose to come back to Sabah.
So yeah, on the way back to Kota Kinabalu, I spent my time thinking of those 9 days we spent together. Wimven Chu, we call him Win Win since he is a baby, thought me tons of stuff and also gave me lots of memories.
I bet whenever I hear the finger snapping sounds, it will definitely reminds me of you, the way you never give up in teaching me how to do it.
I bet every now and then when I fall down and hurt myself, I would think of the way you look at the wounds on my palm and sympathy me by telling me to put ointment on it when I reach home later, although I said never mind but you still had that sympathetic look saying that it looks painful.
I bet whenever I think of art, I would think of you, as you are the only one that had the same drawing and painting methods as me that we both usually fail to create an artistic artwork.
I bet whenever I think of Chinese, I would think of you, how could you barely read a Chinese character and you could study over those six years in primary school ?
I bet whenever I saw an 'alkitab' (it means Malay version of the bible) , I would think of you holding a thick book with the title alkitab, I barely know what does that means, all I know is 圣经 and bible.
I bet whenever I play minecraft and the sims 3, I would think of you, I'd played minecraft before once and honestly I gave up playing because whenever I build my house with bricks and stones and when I demolished it, it turned into a ugly piece of dirt yupp it's not that piece of greenery grass anymore so yeah I'm funny and weird that because of the ugliness I gave up playing it, I shouldn't be too perfectionist sometimes lol. I'd played sims 3 finish before, but you suggest me to play both those games and yup it's fun ! I guess I've changed a lot lately, I don't care I love it :P thank you so much for introducing me those games hahahax
I bet whenever I see a big brother feeding his little sister, I would think of you being so kind and loving to your little sister that none of us can handle her.
I bet whenever I saw fishing rods, I would think of you, making a simple promise to teach me how to fish but ended up you didn't as your dad had prepared everything nicely.
I bet whenever I had a chance to go fishing again and coincidently my fishing rod's string is tangled with other people's fishing rod's string, I would think of you and also the date 18 of November, the day that I first hold a fishing rod and went fishing ! Tangled fishing rod's string would definitely remind me of you helping me to entangle all the knots that is tangled together with those seaweeds, I would also remember that you had once made me, you and my brother's fishing rod's string all tangled together hahahax your fault this time.
I bet whenever I see a grouper fish or in Portuguese it is called as the garoupa fish, I would think of you forcing me to take that only grouper fish out of all the others, I said no, but you insisted it that at last you put it into my plate all by yourself. Win Win ahh, Win Win, why you had to be that good to me, your jiejie sometimes ?
I bet whenever I see 'Mister Potato' potato chips, I would think of you, or I could say think of us hahahahax. That day, we became so desperate in eating snacks. We asked our parents permission inletting us to walk to a nearby shop (around 100 to 200 meter ?) so we could grab some snacks. However, they said that we were going to fall sick as the weather is terrible and we were also not in a very healthy condition. Of course, we were not satisfied hahahahax. So when they leave to visit someone (lucky enough though), we planned to sneak out but my uncle is around working out something. So we were afraid that we couldn't make it back before they are back, we were also afraid that our uncle may caught us, we were also worried that your youngest sister, Qing Qing would tell our parents about it, we were also worried on how to clear the plastic package of the snack. After thinking for so long, we just straight do it without any much further thinking hahahax. We pretend to play outside in the garden or the yard, either one, idk what it's called. And halfway through, you ran out to buy the snacks. All of us can't go together, as my uncle will know and Qing Qing will definitely want to follow and she will definitely tell our parents about it Honestly, I was pretty worried as the idea and plan are both mine and yours, my bro doesn't even want to interfere with it. I am really really afraid that you may get lost or get kidnap or whatsoever. As it will definietky be my responsibility by then. Fortunately, you came home safe, so the three of us went to a room upstairs to eat it hahahax, Qing Qing was playing some games downstairs alone. So yeah, under such hot condition, you even said that how tough to eat a packet of snacks HAHAHAHA true, true.
I bet whenever I think of engineering, I would think of you, you had invent so many stuff yourself but too bad Qing Qing broke them all :( Hahahahax, no worries, study hard and go take engineering course in the future.
I bet whenever I watch a movie online, I would think of you, you were so enthusiastic when we had to pause halfway hahahahax you would immediately ask me to play it. Hahahax you look like a little kiddo sometimes.
I bet I will never forget you, whenever I had this chance to come back here, I would and I promise I would extend the days so we could spend more time together.
The day before yesterday, you gave us a surprise, you went all the way down to KK to spend another day with us. I'm overjoyed. Really, I'm serious. We spend most of our time in the museum. Running around hahahax. We kept on repeat the sentence 'BING BANG DYSE' hahahax being childish is fun sometimes. When you said you would stay with your eldest sister, we complaint a lot. Then later only we understood that you actually wanted to buy a gift for your sister yesterday night so that you can give it to her during her birthday today. We finally understood, although we feel sad and a little unsatisfied but yeah, we shouldn't be that selfish. When we left in the car, you stood at the car porch. Looking at us, you didn't say goodbye or give us any handshake this time, that smile on your face let me know that we will see each other soon. By saying a goodbye will make us feel like there is a distant, a time and place distant that separates us. I believe that by just smiling is way better then saying goodbye.
To ten million fireflies,
I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes,
I've got misty eyes as they said farewell.
But I know where several are,
If my dreams get real bizarre,
Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar.
I'd like to make myself believe,
That planet earth turns slowly,
It's hard to say but I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
Cause everything is never as it seemed,
When I fall asleep
