Holiday Trip to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

Another trip that was planned last year during the promotions of AirAsia. The original suggestion from me was to go to Sabah for A WEEK but I really don't know why maybe due to the generation gaps between me and the big sister DAISY PHAM YA WEI. 
Anyway, since it had already booked so we just bear with it. BUT at the very end when we were getting ready for the trip, DAISY PHAM YA WEI again, gave us a big surprise that she couldn't take a leave to go with us.

Ended up, we went with three person, another big sister Phoon Phoon and the tour guide of the trip, Elizabeth.

Still having fun although only three of us. But seems like the tour guide haven't do enough homework. The night we do some last minutes work to check on the places to go and the transport, and just realized that there is a free shuttle bus from OneBorneo to the Warisan Square near the town.

It is only a three days two nights trip. So we can only focus on the small parts and the seafood.

After check in, we went to the Philippine Market to buy some souvenirs. (I know it is odd to buy souvenirs on the first day.. Hahaha, but time is so damn LIMITED!)
Tried to snap the Market but wrong position 
until the main character become the Police Motorcycle >.<

Then Dinner at nearby there for seafood. Ate before the Buka Puasa. Felt so "sorry" to the Malays, but we were too hungry already as we skipped our lunch. T.T Had something back for supper also. The BBQ Chicken Wing. =D

Fish

Sotong

Reached back to OneBorneo around 9pm. And just right the time to have a last movie. (Found out that the last movie of the night is all before 10pm.. haha)
But the movie chosen was not understandable by my level of understanding. LOL..
The Borne Legacy.


The next day, woke up and get ready at 8am. Try to ask about the rent a car service but have to wait for at least an hour. So walk around and had our breakfast. The truly LOCAL food.. haha..

Still early, so we walked around and try to find it out the K box that is available in OneBorneo. We failed to find it out the first day. Failed on the second day too. But the luck was still on our side after we see the counter for the free shuttle bus at 9am. And the bus was already moving. Luckily enough, the bus driver willing to stop for us to enter. If not have to waste another hour for waiting. Haha.

Then take a taxi to go to the Lok Kawi Wildlife Park. Elizabeth wanted to see the Orang Utan.
Ended up we come so far to see the animals.. 
Haha..









But at least we still get to see the real Orang Utan during the show la.. =P

After that, go to Monsopiad Cultural Village by another taxi.




The Painting on the Orang Utan skull

At the house of skull

I am trying to play this one but din take out the shoes 
And this is the result. 

Run away after that. =P


Then have lunch at the nearby town "Dongonggon". And had another BBQ Chicken Wing.=P

Take bus back to Warisan Square. In order to kill time we enter the shopping mall one by one. But only get to reach until the second one. And then we go to the WaterFront to see sunset.




After that had another Fish for dinner.

The timing was just right for us to meet up with Kha Pui's Auntie. She brought us to the Tanjung Aru Beach. Unfortunately it is already night time and nothing to see there. But her auntie bought each of us the Avocado Milk Shake. Luckily again for the light dinner. And the milk shake made our tummy all too full. XD.

Before go back to hotel, auntie brought us to watch the Water Musical Concert at Tanjung Aru Park. (Forgotten the place name ad). Enjoyed the music and the water show.

Back to hotel at about 10pm. Meet up with Elizabeth Old Friend. and then we go back to our room. Asked Elizabeth to come to our room after bath with her laptop and also the monopoly. Teach Phoon Phoon and then played until 1am. Sleep like a pig again.

The next day and also the last one, we get ready at 830am to book the taxi to KKIA the international airport. Knowing that all the shops hadn't open at the time yet. But the "not to give up" spirit came and we tried to check out the K box again. The truth is always hurt one. As it is actually just right beside the elevator. Sweat. But since it is so hard for us to find it out. We decided on enter after it open.

Ate our breakfast at simply one shop again. But this time the "Kon Lo Mee. Not bad the taste until i forgot to take the photo. And the serving of food is kind of slow. >.<

Walk around in One Borneo to wait for the shops to open. Checked out from the hotel and Plan for an hour sing K (as what UMS student did when they are studying there? haha) For the sake of complete set of what local people should be doing. LOL.

After that, go back to Tune hotel and wait for the taxi to come.
Said good bye to Elizabeth on the way to airport. Had lunch for KFC with Kha Pui. Felt kind of phobia with the chicken wing. AHAHA.

After back to LCCT, time to say GoodBye to Phoon Phoon. My bus was at 630pm so another half an hour for my dinner. But Phooon Phoon entered the bus straight without doing anything. Muahaha..

The bus was full with people so the normal routine to stop by at the KLIA and A Famosa was skipped and direct back to Melaka Sentral. Saved for an hour time. Back home. Marked end of the journey.
