Hope you like the music : Sinding Rumamai-Ramai by Aldro John Gaisah (Suara Buluh Perindu 1).


Kinabalu Park : The tap water in Kinabalu Park is shivering cold. But most importantly, these are straight water, as in the water did not go through the chemical treatment like KL. So what?
(1) Making tea with these water offers sweeter fragrance.
(2) Very difficult to wash off the lather from our soaps.
