FAREWELL

I can't help but feel it... This small tinge of sadness and regret, how time seems to pass by so fast, how little time I have left before I have to return back to my mundane life back in my hometown with almost absolutely nothing to look forward to. In less than 48 hours, I'll leave Kota Kinabalu... A place that I'm starting to feel attached to in the brief period that I'm here, a place that I can actually call... home...

Somehow I feel a connection with this place... A place that is too small to qualify as a 'real' city, too developed to be known as juz a town... Tall buildings, upper class shops, but seems curiously underpopulated... An old urban area with a modern feel... A place where the locals live their everyday life alongside with the nature-loving foreign tourists...

There's juz this irresistable charm with this city (guess it is 1 considering it's called 'Kota Kinabalu') that makes me fell in love with it... Which is why now that the time I'll still be here is short, I can't help but longed to remain here more often before I go back home... When will I have the oppurtunity to come back here again? Sigh...

Nevertheless, I do believe I'll come back here again one day, not bcuz Air Asia is cheap (I'll try that 1 day), but bcuz there's a majestic, almost mystical entity that beckons me to have a closer look to its gorgeous beauty - Mount Kinabalu. And also, there's the Rafflesia flower, one of the greatest treasure in the flora world, which I have unfortunately unable to appreciate it in my current visit bcuz it's not the flowering period currently...

I guess those are worthy enough reasons for me to come back here again someday... Well, till then, I'll miss this quaint little town called Kota Kinabalu! >=)
