Sabah trip - Day 1

On 21st April, 6.50am flight. Went to LCCT airport by taxi together with Li-Wei, Thaalitha and Suriya at 4.30am from hostel. Reached Kota Kinabalu International Airport at 9.20am. Waited for others to arrive and departed to Novotel, a 4-star hotel, the place we're staying for the 1st 2 nights. I was to share room with Lin Hui and another USM gal, and somehow after changing rooms with another girl, Li-Wei instead who are to share room with both of us. ^^ After lunch, starting at 2pm, we had ice-breaking session. We are first divided into 4 groups. I'm in group 4 together with Lin Hui and Bernard. Other group members are: Waraan (our Group Moderator a.k.a GM), Wei Lun (another GM), Sindy (from Indonesia), Navin, Suganthini, Hafizah, YY Liew (USM 4th yr student), Alyaa and Amir.

In the evening, after a brief rest, went into UMS campus. Gorgeous place..and indeed alot better than UCSI. LOL. Anyway, just a brief glimpse of the campus when the bus drove by. We had our BBQ dinner at the beach which is situated inside the campus. Simple, but nice. Nicer coz the UMS ppl barbecued the food for us. Hehe. And we also had cam-whoring session at the beach. Lol. After dinner, went to UMS Medical School's lecture hall where we had what they call "country meeting". Its just as simple as a briefing of the schedule next day where we'll be having key note lectures and presentations, both paper presentation and poster presentation. Oh well, us UCSI people are not involved in any of those coz we're not informed plus guess its becoz we sent in our registration late. These all ended at 10pm where we were then being transported back to our hotel. 3 of us slept at 12am after watching CSI on AXN channel. =p



p.s Sabah is just so different as in West Malaysia. The sky there got dark earlier, as early as 6.30pm and in the morning, around 5am the sky is already blazing hot with the hot sun high in the sky. Like my mum said, coz Sabah's in East Malaysia, so bet they can see the sun earlier than us. Lols.
