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.

Vietnam Trip Day 3: Cao Dai Temple and Cu Chi Tunnels

Dear all my friends, Forgive me for my laziness and here let's the picture tell the story again.

First Destination of the Day: Cao Dai temple

Description: Cao Dai Temple is a temple which combined those religion that we been studying in history. 

The Confusianme, Buddism, Muslim, Kristian, and many other else that I can hardly remember now. 

Our purpose to come here, (arranged by the tour) is to watch their prayers, to see the building, 

to see how is the combination or I shall call it as UNITED religion from all. 

*actually it is hard for me from Malaysia the multi-religion country to imagine this to be happen, 

and also don't want this to be happen too.

  

Overview for the big temple

This is somehow like the logo of this religion, 

someone show me its the same as the symbol of one dollar from US.

The inner view of the temple. Really damn BIG!

Last but not least, this is the only one I can show to you guys, 

which can be seen the combinations of all the religion. 

Can you understand it now? @@ 

Can you accept it by the way?? 

Second and also the last destination: Cu Chi Tunnels

Here it goes to a place where we watch the VCR for the story of the Cu Chi Tunnels.

The big map that show all the region, the red one is representing the Cu Chi Tunnels stayed by the komunis, 

The triangle was the camp build by the British (not sure which country, British or US)

The pink was showing the family member of the komunis (the local people la)

It is originally all the forest..

the opening of the tunnels, is just as small as this..

So, I can imagine, (no fat people is available in Vietnam particularly on that time)

*Jump in!!!*

*Take up the cover!*

*Close it! and Disappeared!*

Can you see where the people hide? XD

The Trap that made by the local people. 

(previously with no Grip to show the exact place.)

When the attackers come and tot they found the entrance...

Here they ends their live blindly... 

Some other holes for the entrance maybe?? 

Another one.. 

One more~~~~ @@

When there is some days of rest, where the outsiders don't attack 

They appeared to the ground and relax..

One of the vehicle that brought by the west to attack the local ones.

A few traps that created by the komunis to defense themselves.

Here shows how they made the bomb from the material. 

The two models (the real person) are our tourguide for the day and also another local vietnam guy which I talked to. =D

Here is where you can try on shooting the AK 47 and also M 16. 

*I don't shoot first is due to it is too expensive for me, and secondly, I am waiting if got the chance to try it during the PLKN a.k.a nasional service that I am still yet to enter. 

This shows how the last time, the local people make their slippers from the tire (the bomb were using the same material too.. @@)

The End of Day 3 and also almost all the place we been visited. 

Besides the area where we stay and the crazy walkaway that conducted by me. =D

Holiday Week 5: The Outing Days and also the Badminton Match

So fast, holiday had gone its first half, and left not much time to spend at home. Good news or a bad one? I guess I really miss Penang already. Admit that I am a bad girl but that is how I feel right now. 

After came back from Vietnam, I am continuing my busy life at home, as well as the additional one to be Daddy's driver. His eyes operation aren't really successful, although with not really much effects for the time being, but due to the removal of the lens his eye power got change until the two eyes cannot view at the same standard. (He had done for one eyes only) As a result, he cannot drive, I mean it will be much dangerous la. 

But besides the extra job scope, I am still able to find time to meet my buddies. (Bad girl is always run out from home and taking excuses to be lazy >.<) I am really craving for Baskin Robbins now after realized of the 31st July ( Am sure not because of the free scope of ice cream shared in the Facebook, I am before that Okay? Believe me! XD) but then Mr Lee (not Lee Chong Wei either) was not available in the Tuesday, so I changed the plan to Wednesday evening. Meeting him and my Indian friend, Ranjeni to have a dinner together (original plan is after the meal then B&R) But then eating too large portion of dinner so give up on the BR. (T..T) Anyway, A GREAT DAY meeting those friends. They are all too long haven't have a time to meet one another. =D Back to See U steamboat was another memories.

The second day (Thursday), Andrew's invitation to the mamak stalls is initially rejected by me, as I feel guilty to be out too often. He called me after meeting up the others and ask me out again. As the boss Tan Wee Swan was too noisy at the side talking, I have to come out again to meet up with those old buddies. Although had been tired whole days long, but the chatting were really awesome seeing back them. Those stories shared were some interesting and should really revise it back. The people, the friendships, and all those that happened to each of us. I appreciate the moments that we shared. (Initially reject also due to i know the crapping time can be really long. XD ) 

And one thing that I just found out the boss not yet forgotten, is FIVE YEARS ago the promised BIG MEAL for me (but the fulfill day is still an unknown yet. ) Hahaha.. Saliva dropping now.. hohoho.. 

Friday is time for me to fill up the absence. So I was acting good to help around. Unfortunately the late sleep made me nap for two hours long until daddy complaint again. And then Saturday come, my young nephew and niece (twins) already ONE MONTH old!! I mean, I never realized that I have been home more than A MONTH! They both reach the world a few days after I back from Penang. =D 

So bring daddy there to eat good meals and waiting for the call for yamcha with form six gang as we previously talk about it on Thursday. But then, no any news I can hear. Ended up, Watched TV Shows with Dad from the China Channel <非诚勿扰>. A show for the single ones to find there partner. Indeed some is quite interesting you can find there.

Reach for Sunday, went out with dear Chian Yit for movie. He asked me not to late again. But fates were always there. After get ready to go out at 2pm I go downstairs but then realized that Daddy had brought the key out (God knows why, He is not the one who drive also and somemore they drove out was the the other car =.=") Nearly Fainted. And got my anger already. They only reach home half an hour later and I have only twenty minutes to go for the movie. Been trapped in the traffic jammed for another half an hour so I am late for HALF AN HOUR for the movie. T.T Really felt so sorry aaaaaaa..... 

Went to meet up my dear dear Adrina after the movie and then kept disturb her to work >.< Now only I know the Sunday is really so crowded. But it is too late to change anything. Went to Ramen again after two years. (I am actually craving for Secret Recipe but then the place were fully booked T.T)

Anyway, The best happenings to give this week a nice and great ENDING was non other than the GREAT shows by DATO LEE CHONG WEI!! After so many times of just looking at the result that posted by friends in the Facebook. I ask Daddy to watch together with me the show. (Too bad, only the last half) And no offense, It is a great game that bring both the HERO come to a fight. It is not a competition for me, if you treat it as just a competition you are totally wrong ad. A game like this after compare the power was non other than LUCK. Perhaps, luck was not by his side again. Indeed, 19-21 is really an unforgettable show (first time in my life to really watch ) in my lifetime memories. That everyone in Malaysia, particularly the one outside my house and also all my friends in the Facebook. Were so corporate to hope and pray for Dato Lee to get for the Gold. 

But for myself, after lost for so many times in life. ( I have to admit it myself) 

I have to shout out loud that it is not the numbers that are matters, I have enjoyed the game and everyone have tried their best. While competing there is the improved that matters us the most. Which I knows that I will be VERY very very EXCITED if we won, But the different is that I will not be so much upset when the loses come. In fact, the ways to find the solutions are much important to be noted. 

In comparison, out of whole Malaysian we only have one Dato Lee, but who is next after him? I am waiting to see instead. There is much more people that backed up in China and kept appearing as compared in Malaysia we were just put a lot of pressure to those who had shown his talents. WHY NOT THAT instead of putting the pressure on the HERO, we should be the one pushing OURSELVES to achieve the BETTER us? 

Dato Lee had shown his best and the improvements, why not US??? That is what give me more to think instead of the BR, holiday and the medals. Hope same for you my friends!
