[Ep 2] - Hopping from island to island.

[Day 2]

Had buffet breakfast before leaving to Jesselton Point
at 8.30am.


• Going down for breakfast at 7am + :)


• ♥ Nasi Lemak.


• Jay's 阳光宅男 阳光宅女 . wakakakaka. I'm feeling so sunny.

Another guy and an old man good man joined us
for the trip to the islands; Pulau Manukan and Pulau Sapi.

We were given snorkels and life jackets,
and when i got the thing,
i was like : Damn, should have learned swimming.
LOL.

Only FML and I who dont know how to swim.
So, yea.
Nxt time I must find a lengzai to teach me swimming dy. ;)


.:. At the jetty. Took a pic before becme chao da-ed got tanned.


• Leaving KK for Pulau Manukan and Sapi ^_^

1st stop : Pulau Manukan
After dropping a Japanese family of three at Mamutik,
the rest of us went Manukan.


• We're at Manukan!

Honestly, I'm abit afraid of water,
mainly of the depth.
You-know-la,
I kan tak cukup tinggi.
Coupled with the fact that i dont know how to swim,
lagilah i takut -____-


So after trying on the snorkelling thing for a while,
I gave up QUIT! LOL
Then FML and i sat on the white beach,
watching an old SHARK playing with two SMALL FISHES.

Hahahahahahhahaha
And watched plastic bags floating in the sea.




Drenched in seawater,
We left for Sapi when it almost reached noon.
Sapi is way way more crowded that Manukan,
mainly because the water there is way clearer and cleaner.


• All wet. On the boat to Sapi from Manukan ;) *cold*



• Us, at Sapi Island




• Haha. We're the Broga chicks and old man.

Here, we drew on the sand while waiting for lunch
The rest continued snorkelling while FML and i cleaned up.
Covered in Pareo,
we sat on the beach watching angmoh's sunbathing,
children sand playing and people snorkeling.











• Sawadikap! Not from Thailand but from Sabah, kap. ;)


• Preparing to leave Sapi back to KK.

Reached the mainland around 3
and took some rest in hotel.
All of us managed to nap except kai ma!
LOL.

Dinner that day was at dont-know-what-place.
That night, poor kaima kena ZAT gao gao.
Hehe. 3 mouths vs kaima's 1 mouth.
we put our "进风" theory aside
and talked, zat-ed and laughed like gilas.


We asked the driver to drop us at Centrepoint,
and did some walking and shopping around
where we bumped into old man and his young friend ah Sir and his ex-student.
Hahahaha.

Shops in Sabah 'lai zap' close quite early,
around 9pm.
Then we went to next door, Warisan Square(??).
Most of the shops there are already closed as well,
except for Padini.
So we lepak-ed at Padini before we ter-jalan till The Waterfront.

Walked back to hotel from Waterfront and joined the two men
we bumped into earlier for yumcha at Fook Yuen,
a cafe which is famous for its Damai Roti,
a bread spread with peanut butter and kaya.
Also had Teh C.
All on Victor!
Heheheh.



• Yumcha @ Fook Yuen


• Fook Yuen's Damai roti; bread with peanut butter and kaya.

Chit-chatted for 2 hours till almost 1am.
By then, we're already very tired. :\
And apa lagi?
SLEEP! :DDDD

[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
