Bismillah....
I'm going to be very very careful of what I wished for with regards to this pandemic from now on. It was just in my last post that I mentioned I kind of miss the slow pace life. Now here I am, on day 3 of my hotel quarantine. I haven't really figured out how to spend the rest of my days here but so far this is very very challenging hahaha
I'm actually at low risk to get it from the positive contact. However, the fact that I'm living with my parents and the dining table is right in front of my room, I thought it's not wise to risk it until my results are out. The expanses is paid out of my own pocket but yeah having my family infected would be an even greater price to pay.
The MCO was from 18th March to 9th June. And the RMCO was supposed to be until 31st Dec. Then unexpectedly, Sabah had to undergo a state election and boom! another national outbreak. Currently, the east coast and here is on another cycle of CMCO until I don't know when. I'm actually thankful that I have lived June to September to my fullest haha and for this post I actually want to 'document' what I manage to do after MCO until the current outbreak hahaha
My first activity was trying out the paddle board when ZA came for a short trip to settle some stuffs here
Then we went to try the sunrise kayaking. I partnered with NN. The activity was quite a distance; 12 km. I enjoyed it nonetheless since my kayaking techniques have been unused for years so it was kind of a revision. But I had my blades upside down at one time muahahaha and that's the most basic thing. I love the conversation we had as we cruise along the river that morning.
Next was our via ferrata trip on the 10th of July. Can't believe I'm back at Mt K after 8 years. I, just like other Sabahans, do have this sense of belonging to the mountain. Honestly, I'm not very fond of the trail though. It was a very fun trip with these crazy bunch, as always hahaha
Next we went to ride ATV which was originally should have been a special request water rafting activity. The water level was not sufficient so this was a plan B. It was a simple activity yet enjoyable. That suspension bridge crossing was thrilling. On my way back, there was a local crossing the bridge and he didn't even care to stop. I got nervous, stopped at the middle and let him passed first hahaha
Manage to fly to the Peninsular and had a short reunion with the girls. There should've been more of us, but suddenly there was an outbreak in the northern states so many had to cancel on short notice. In hindsight, it would've been chaotic if the original number had turn up. So, if we were to do this again, we'll just book one place and get everything sent to the venue rather than moving from one place to another.
Tried out the Zip Borneo rope course. For someone like me, who is rather accustomed to high places, the course was quite scary haha I enjoyed the flying fox most!
Then our trip to Batu Punggul in Nabawan which I'll write in detail in another post, inshaAllah
And finally the staycations I had with family and friends!
It's really easy to be resentful, to be depressed with what's going on right now but I'm choosing not to be affected by all the noises. I want to focus on the good things that are happening in my life and most importantly center my attention at my role in handling this pandemic....
