[Ep 1] - KK City, Sabah

Sabah - The Land Below The Wind, also Negeri di Bawah Bayu.





Just got back 2-3 days *1 week + from Kota Kinabalu,
the state capital of Sabah.
(*By the time i finish writing, uploading and posting, it's already 1 week +)

Honestly,
the city is just so-so lah.
But then, going beyond the city
into the nature
is so so so much fun!



Plus,
food there is abit more pricey than in W.M'sia.
Eg. Prawn noodles or laksa.
in Penang, 2-3
in Kl, maybe 4-5,
bt in KK, 5 and above.
Luckily im a Penangite. X)


Pre-KK trip day : 4th of August 2011.

May seem as not-a-very-important-day
But it was a TERRIBLE memorable day for us.
First, because our flight to KK is from LCCT,
the 3 of us who are living in different states
had to come down to KL a day earlier.

And because our train service is sooooooo EFFICIENT,
we missed the train from Bandar Tasik Selatan to Kajang
4 TIMES!


Yes, its F-O-U-R, E-M-P-A-T times in 2 hours.
We started waiting at 4pm and after missing 3 trains,
we tried our luck from the opposite side,
going up to KL Sentral.
While waiting, the next train going KJG came
and still leaving poor passengers who failed to make stuff themselves
into the 3-coach train.

Reached KL Sentral 4 minutes before the next train,
and we managed to get on,
stuffed like sardines.


When we reached Kajang,
it was already 7pm+.
A normal trip from BTS to KJG would only take 15 minutes,
excludes waiting.
But today,
it took us 3 hours of waiting and travelling way up to KL Sentral
to reach KJG.



Terrible, horrible and vegetable.
If you are a frequent user of the train,
you would understand the horrible feeling of waiting and missing trains.
If you think this is a 'sap-sap water' case,
wait till you experience it yourself.

'Nough said.


Day 1 : Touring the City of Kota Kinabalu.

We left Semenyih for LCCT with kaima at 8+
Reached LCCT at around 9+
Thank you kai ma! :)


• Our luggages, their total weight, and boarding pass with 'luggage stickers'


• Boarding passes, and slacking session at LCCT's Departure Hall. X)


• Hahahahahhaha. Funny sia the expression.


• One more, on the plane :)


• Flying in the sky.

On our flight from KUL to BKI
a grandmother with her two grandsons
were sitting behind us.
At the last hour of flight, we kacau-ed played
with the little grandson and his alien-like bear.


• The boy, Borneo

We called the boy 'Borneo', the name he called his bear.
Throughout our 4-day trip,
we met them twice; first on our second day on Manukan Island,
second on the last day at Poring.
Haha. What a coincidence.

Our 1110 flight arrive in BKI at around 1340.
Upon arrival, all passengers would have to Queue up
to obtain a social visit pass...



.. like this one!


• Heheh.. my social visit pass to Sabah.

Met our tourguide for 2 days, Tina, a kadazandusun.
We're sibeh hungry till we wanna faint,
so we went for lunch! :)


• Communicating with our tourguide, and those are our luggages.
(We'll make a comparison on day 4 xD )


• Hehe. First time stepping in Sabah, sure take picture la ;)
Too bad, kai ma was busy on the phone. X)




• First meal, also lunch on our first day


• We suddenly noticed that Bibi actually look like Joey Orang utan
*Hahahahha. this one was very funny because we did not expect the monkey's face
to fit so well into her body. X)

First place we visited upon reaching KK is the Cocoa Boutique.
Okay-okay la.
Abit tad pricey than what I expected.
So we tasted everything that can be tasted from tiramisu to espresso choc
and ended up going back empty handed.
One thing i dislike bout the place
is you dont really have the freedom to look around.



Up next is the Philippino Market(?)
Dont know whether i spelt it correctly or not :D
Great place to buy souvenirs; keychains, pareo etc.
Tina helped us to bargain the prices :X
We all bought Pareo and keychains there.
Also saw a row of shops which sell ikan masin and other dried stuffs.
Fishy and salty!

Then we went to Menara Tun Mustapha,
a.k.a Yayasan Sabah.
I thought we're going into the battery-like building,
manatau take pictures only. LOL
Snapped some pics then went City Mosque,
kaima's favourite place LOL
JK.




• The patpohs in front of Menara Tun Mustapha. ;)


• Us behind the orang utan thing in front of Yayasan Sabah.
Clockwise from top : Me, Joey, Kai ma and Aymee



• Us with Tina, our tourguide in front of City Mosque.

Also snapped pictures
then we left for check-in at Cititel Express.
Our dinner at Sri Melaka,
ate Malacca-style food in Sabah,
special eh? XD


• Waiting to go dinner at hotel's lobby.


• Dinner at Sri Melaka. I ♥ the Sotong!!! (Been pestering mum who refused to make me some T____T)

After dinner, the driver dropped us back at hotel
where we waited for YBB and Bibi Winston.
Went to the night market nearby
and i bought this!


• Wooden Gilang Gelang or bangle with carvings on it. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Tried to use 苦肉计 bargain
but the owner still doesnt wanna sell to me at lower price.
:(

Then Winston and Bou Bou intro us some nice 奶茶
Yoyo's milk tea!


• Yoyo's Milk Tea

We dabao-ed and went a cafe tht doesnt close too early for yumcha


• Fruits Monster!! Everything fruity. They even have lamb chop(??) with kiwi sauce (??)

And we ended our first day in KK.


• ♥

Sleep

Still having jetlags from the trip
to Malacca?
-__-
i know.
GMT +8 regardless Penang or Malacca.

I've had sleep disorder lately,

There is nothing more frustrating than lying awake at night knowing that lack of sleep is going to make our pain worse.

Yes, i must say.
I couldnt blame my brain
That's why I'm putting the blame on the trip.

Muahahaha.



*P/s : I have pending posts i know. I'll TMB Try My Best to post them, i promise. Next week or next next week maybe? :X

Makan Trip 27-30 May 2010

Well,
when it comes to the crazy and stupid stuffs the patpohs had ever did,
they are uncountable.

But maybe because we're getting older matured,
we are going into the 'retirement age'.
Not much crazy stuffs,
but still,
very energetic to go crazy and as crazy as before.
我们不是gila的人，但我们gila起来不是人.

So much gila stuffs,
but too little space to blog about them.
Plus, not much pictures were taken
cause we're too overwhelmed?

The latest craziest stuff we did,
was the Makan Trip to Ipoh and Penang.

First stop : IPOH
Tourguide : Yip Bou Bou
Purpose of the stop : EAT


.:. Mr Driver '爸爸' who drove us to Ipoh all the way from Semenyih and around Ipoh


.:. Saw this Mr-Biker. His bike is BXX XXXX so, we're wondering how long had he been on the bike, with this position.

Fearing he would stop his bike and 'DAP' us,
we still took his pic.


.:. FML :D





.:. Liu Fan in Ipoh.

It's like 酿菜 + 粉
Steps
1 : Choose the *酿菜s you like
2 : Hand over the *酿菜s you had chosen to the fella.
3 : choose the 粉 that you like (面，米粉，河粉 etc)
4 : choose the soup : 清汤 or 咖喱 烫底
5 : Sit at ur place, wait and pay.

LOL.
Very easy rite?

Then we went Ipoh Parade,
since we dont fancy going to *洞s in Ipoh

Night time,
Went for dinner / early supper at Tong Sui Street


.:. Tong Sui Street


.:. Ms. Tourguide '妈妈' with 咖喱面 which choked FML almost to death


.:. 'CHAP' 雪, or Ais Kacang with Yam Ice Cream on top


.:. the pictures on the door of our rooms. wondered why they were there, we came up with "药材炖鸭肉"





First day ended,
Next day started with dimsums before heading to Medan Gopeng for bus to Parit Buntar.


.:. Scratching parking ticket.


.:. All the MAIs! D:


.:. Our To-Do, To-Buy, and To-Eat list!


.:. went to a biscuit shop for Sak Kei Mah or Sakima

Full with not only good food, but also laughters!
All those stuffs we CHOTTED,
I've forgotten.
But I remember for sure,
We had GREAT FUN!


The Penang trip i'll blog about later.
Or else, this would be a SIBEH long post!
Till then!
Adios!

.
.
.

It's 4.37am.

I'm here,
with a piece of Koolfever stuck onto the forehead of mine.
Having slight fever, coupled with some cough, runny nose and headache.
Well,
they doesnt make it sounds 'slight'.
:\

2 more papers to go
Dont know why,
I'm vulnerable to virus attacks when it comes to exam period
If you'd browsed through those older posts,
you'll probably find one or two,
where i complaint of the 'combos' that i get.


Stumbled across a blog,
whose owner is super duper CUTE!
Been reading since 2am,
and it got me motivated to write something,
now. LOL
At least, SOMETHING.


Wait till the exam's over,
and the summer begin.
Then i'll further update on the 'promised'
A _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A _ _ _ _ _ _ APRIL!


I told you,
you wouldnt able to guess the title of my entree about April!


Off to bed I'll try
