I'm feeling better...

Bites Tale : I'm feeling better now... still feel a bit of pain on the neck... sometimes makes me dizzy and headache... Now i can drive, go window shopping, eating out and work as usual... only when i am tired then i wear the neck support and be careful not to have big movement on the neck (just stay slow and steady). But i feel tired easily... always wanted to sleep... and i'm feeling a bit "slower and dumb" than before... doctor said is normal due to shock... sigh...

2008 is coming real soon.

Have not set any new year resolution yet... but i think i won't be setting any for 2008... i somehow noticed that i've "changed" after the accident... it seems like everything doesn't seems to be as important as before anymore... most important is just to be happy and don't stress myself too much. With so many loved ones around me and people who loves me (including you, my blogger friends), i really don't have anything to complaint... but to feel really grateful and blessed.

Some were wondering actually where have i been... that how come i was in a boat coming out from Selingan Island and what happened to the leeches that i blogged previously about how scared i am to them. So, i'll be blogging about my trip in details soon.

To start, there were 6 of us which includes 2 guides and 1 driver. Why driver? Because we went for a self-driving trip from Kota Kinabalu to some of the major tourist spots all around Sabah. Here's the itinerary :

As you all know by now, the trip ended after the accident, 3 of us went home straight by plane on 16 December evening... while the 2 guides and the driver remained in Sandakan to wait for the original copies of the police report and will drive back to KK after that.

Although we couldn't finish our journey, but we were really glad that all of us still alive and not badly wounded.
