The wonder of Kota Kinabalu

I feel guilty because I remember I made a promise last week, although it's kinda late tonight, I'll give my all to share about my trip to kota kinabalu. NOW IN CINEMA. lol.

Day 1


We departed from lcct early in the morning around 7am, and arrived in KK at about 10am. Abah rented a Myvi Waja, and we went straight to the hotel to check in. Well, I must admit the location is a bit off but good enough for me (Abah didnt like it). The hotel's name is 1City Hotel, and it wasnt as bad as it looks. Maybe because of the location (near Segama complex), it looks cheap and messy and stuff, but it is actually a nice hotel. We booked a family room for RM148 nett, and the room is superbly spacious (one single and one queen bed), interior design is extraordinary, the bathroom is super clean and nice ( Ida loveeee it! :P). And it is within walking distance to KFC and Burger King. Then after we checked in, we went to Kundasang. On our way, there was this accident, and we could see the dead bodies in the lorry. Scary! :( We had lunch at this one gerai, which is very gross unpleasant, so many lalatttt!!! Nasib baik tak food poisoning! Ijah and family also went to KK, and we met at the gerai. After that, we went to Kinabalu Park, it was foggy, and drizzling. The weather is nice, not that cold and not that hot, but because it was drizzling, we just captured some pics and went to the place where ijah stayed. Nice one!! :) sempat pekena maggi sayur, itu pon da macam hepi semacam. Hehehehe. We went back to KK, and had our dinner at this one expensive restaurant. I think the food was okay but not as worthy as the price claimed to be.

Day 2
It was raining. :( We planned to go snorkelling but sadly, there's nothing that we can do. It was inevitable. So we went to Muzium Sabah, mak didnt want to go out sebab hujan kan. Ida pon cam pemalas je. Tapi abah like so excited, rase bersalah la plak kan kalo tak turun, so paksa Izzat teman skali. Hehehehe. We went to have a look at the cultural village. It was nice, and it's free!! :)) But then, the rain stopped and we decided to go to the wharf, to ask if it's possible to go to some of the islands. And the answer is YES!! :) Although unexpected, we went to the Manukan island by boat, I LOVE THE RIDE!! We went snorkelling, although, ehem, i have to admit, i have no talent at all in snorkelling. I feel suffocated, and each time I went under water, I had trouble breathing, and I tried to inhale as much air as I could via my nose. and ended up drowning. well, sort of. ;) Then, gave up, waited for the boat, then went back to the hotel. Izzat and abah rushed to the airport (gile kan semalam je diorg pegi KK, izzat siap ponteng skolah lagi!). Had burger king for dinner.

Day 3
Walked to the Filipino Market. Took about 30 min (sebab mak jalan slow kan :P). Time tu gilaaaaaaa!!!! Shopping shopping and shopping!! Pearl brooches, rings, bracelets and watch. Yes i bought all that plus some souvenirs for edy's family. :) Met ijah and family there. Then went back to hotel, lepak2, makan2, solat, then kuar balik. I dont remember exactly where. tapi i think sempat beli baju. :) day full of shopping.

Day 4
Our last day here. Checked out, but we were allowed to put our bags in the store. so mak went to buy keropok, kek lapis and also frozen prawns. had lunch at secret recipe. yes, kitorg tak banyak makan kt local stalls or restaurants takut tak halal and food poisoning (had experience with food poisoning in Kuching). Then went to the airport and bubye Kota Kinabalu! :(((((

Erk, sebab sibuk sangat shopping , takde gambar la day 3 and day 4. :P
