Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

Just got back from Sabah. Cuti-cuti Malaysia. Actually hubby had to attend a meeting and few site visits so being a very loyal wife kenalah ikut...hehehe...(memang nak ikut pun).

Day 1

Bertolak to Sabah dengan Air Asia. U know ramai betul orang nak pegi KK that day. Have u ever heard of Xpress boarding? We have to pay like RM20 per person so that we could board the plane earlier than others without having to line up and rebut-rebut. But kami ni ingat well since we have small child with us so takyahlah coz kita memang boleh naik awal punya. Unfortunately sekarang ni policy Air Asia bukan cam dulu lagi. If u want to naik early then u pay. U know even hubby got to pay RM30 for his golf set. Teruk betul Air Asia ni. Telan duit orang. So I yang dukung anak ni pun have to berlari-lari. Nak dapat a good seatlah. Sebab hubby cakap cari sebelah kiri to get a good view when we reached KK. Hubby ni his sense of direction memang hebat. He knew mana seat yang nampak view, yang mana yang panas, sejuk, sunset, sunrise...gua salute u darling. And manage to get good seat.

So we reached KK about noon. Was picked up by Mr Yusuf (hubby's good friend). Checked in at Radius Hotel. Hotel tu kan is a new hotel atas a new shopping complex..Warisan Square. Very strategic. Dekat dengan Pasar Filipina...hehehe..itu yang penting tu. And dekat nak makan. But what shocked me most was the airport..Terminal 2...wow cantik dah. Macam kat Langkawi. And bila touched down tu entahlah rasa emotional plak. Memanglah I'm not Sabahan tapi rasa seronok to be back. My daughter is a Sabahan. So kira dia balik kampunglah. Entahlah one day rasa macam nak kerja balik kat sana. Best tau Sabah ni even my good friends pun orang-orang Sabah.

Anyway...back to the hotel...masuk-masuk bilik je mak oiiii...comel. Ye comel. Like I told u kan I am a very particular person. So I expect bilik besar and best but ni..hem..comel. Tapi very very hi tech and modern. LCD tv tu, wireless internet and the shower sangat canggih even I had problem to operate it. Hubby cakap jakun to me...hem memang canggih. Water came out like from everywhere...up down..hehehe..

Ni toilet..can see the bedroom tau..see through toilet

So petang tu hubby got to attend meeting. And I am meeting Reen, a really good friend. Seronok coz lama tak jumpa. Dulu masa duduk Sabah she was like a family. Yelah kita takde family kat sana so kawan-kawanlah family kita. Really had good time and miss my friends there very very much. Reen came to my room. Dia pun very impress with the shower...i told u so...then kita orang pegi makan kat Starbucks. I had Frapuccino Toffe nut and a strawberry muffin while Reen had Frapuccino Chocolate Chip and cheese cake. We gossip, talk and catch up. Seronok sangat sampai hubby balik pun tak sedar. Oh btw the shop was just below my room...kan best tu.

Malam tu kami and hubby's friends pegi makan di Anjung Selera kat Likas. Sebenarnya masa duduk KK dulu memang kami suka sangat makan kat situ sebab kepak ayam dia sedap. Tu yang malam tu pegi sana. Hemmm sedap sangat. Lepas dari kempunan kepak ayam...yam yam..

Day 2

Pagi went for breakfast with Yusuf, wife and son. Kami pegi makan kat kedai kak Nong. Well situ yang best roti dia. Very freshly baked. I ate nasi lemak and makan kuih-kuih situ. Roti dia take awy for lunch..diet beb...

Above..kuih Angkoon tausa and kelapa and also kuih labuh (actually kuih labu..hehehe)

Tengahari hubby ada kerja..so duduklah kat bilik ngan anak. Gaduh jelah ngan dia. But later that evening Yusuf's wife..Aza came with her son and we had tea kat Kopitiam..just below our room. Actually she is my friend jugak so oklah. So taklah boring. Malam plak tak pegi mana-mana. Hubby ordered pizza and starbucks..my fav..sebab nak tengok SEHATI BERDANSA finale..seronok sangat sebab V and Shidee menang..

Day 3

Hari ni hari berjalan and bershopping. Actually kami ni dah masak sangat ngan KK. So taktau nak pegi mana. So just pegi tengok umah lama, tempat-tempat yang pernah mengusik jiwa..ewah...pegi Pasar Filipina shopping skit dan pusing-pusing KK. Bukan apa dulu masa dok sini ramai kengkawan datang so we had to be their tourist guide. So habis satu KK kami dah khatam. Jadi there's nothing more to see..cuma round round tengok tempat lamalah.

Petang tu we went to Pantai Tanjung Aru. Seronok tengok sunset. U know ada beza dengan beach kat sini and Terengganu. Dekat KK people are more relax and carefree. We could see alot of beach activities here such as people swimming, people throwing frisbee (betul ke eja), building sand castle and lepaking dan macam-macamlah. Sedangkan kat Terengganu people are more reserve. Bila pegi pantai u can only see orang makan sotong etc and main kite. Tak begitu carefree. Maybe because of the culture. I like Sabah better sebab u feel more relax. Siap ada background music tuh lagu 80s. Woo so hopelessly romantic tau sambil tengok sunset. So gorgeous...itulah ciptaan yang Maha esa..

Last Day

Last day was filled with sadness coz i am about to leave one of my favourite place. But all good things will come to an end. Jadiknya ku habiskan masa dengan shopping and lunch with friends. Our flight was delayed. Reached KL before the clock strikes 12. Jadi sempatlah ber new year di KL...ya as if I care....

New airport terminal..
