Kota Kinabalu Day 1

22 11 2009

I was so busy this few weeks until don’t have enough time to write about my trip to Kota Kinabalu on 20th October 2009. lol We woke up at 4am in the morning and prepare to go to the airport. Both my sisters fetch us to LCCT airport around 5am. I pity both of them and very thankful because they still willing to fetch us although they need to go to work later on. Thanks sis! TwT When reach the airport, we meet up with my friends, Ara and Ying Ying. After we went to check in our luggage, four of us went to McDonalds having our early breakfast. After a fast breakfast, we quickly rush to board our plane. A lot of people already queuing up once we all reach the boarding gate. Our seats are at the centre of the plane and next to the window. Muahaha!

My dear slept for the whole trip while i was playing with my PSP. Once reach KKIA, we need to line up to register as a visitor and wait for our luggage. We took taxi to 1Borneo Tune Hotel which cost us around RM50 per trip. Once we reach the hotel, we put our luggage there and ask the receptionist about the location to the Aquarium Museum  which is located inside of UMS. The receptionist told us that the museum is very near to the hotel and the place can be reach by walking. Since all of us feel hungry, we decided to have our breakfast at 1Borneo Mall first. Most of the shops and restaurants are still close since it is still early in the morning. There are a few restaurants that already opened for business. We decided to eat at Apple Cafe.

After we had our breakfast, we walk under the bright sun and hot weather to UMS. Once we reach the entrance we took a few pictures and continue walking inside the university. We ask the guards for direction to the museum. We were shock when they told us that the museum is very far inside the university and will take a long time if we want to walk there.  Mustard! Tune Hotel’s receptionist was lying to us! Damn you fatass! Cheater! We took the university bus to the museum. The place is at the end of the university. My god! XD I was sweating like hell because of the heat!

After the bus drop us at the end of the university, we need to walk around 500m – 1km more to reach the place. =.= Once we reached, we need to pay the entrance fees which cost RM5 per head. Inside the museum is not so big but the stuff they show us is quite nice and the most important thing is that the air conditioner! so cold until i don’t want to go out anymore. lol There are a few fishes inside the aquarium is super big! gigantic! This is the first time i saw a really big fish in my whole life! I wonder how old is the fish. haha. There are a few sea creature inside the aquariums including sea turtle, lobsters, etc.

After we satisfy with taking pictures and the air conditioner, we decided to go back to Tune Hotel to check-in. The journey is so damn tired and far! I don’t recommend anyone to come here unless you have transport! Since the bus is not regulary come to the area, we walk back to the university entrance while waiting for any bus to come. After we walking maybe about 2km, we reach a bus stop! finally! My dear is very tired since she is not used to walk long distance journey. The bus drop us at the entrance of UMS and from there we walk back to Tune Hotel.

Before we go back to the hotel, we went to 1Borneo Rainforest for a visit. The entrance fee is RM10 per head. We all were disappointed because there are no event that happen during that time. Inside the rainforest, the environment are quite similar to the real forest. They have a lot of animals such as snakes, squirrels, frogs and birds that are keep in cage. There are nothing but expensive souvenir and animals in the area. So unless there are event happening, please don’t waste your time and money to come here. =.=

Since there are some time before the check-in, we went to find nom nom to feed our hungry stomach. XD After wandering around, we decided to have our lunch at the mall’s food court. There are many stall inside the food court but not much people eating here. The price here are still acceptable from RM4-RM10. I ordered myself a coconut drink and wantan mee while my dear ate fried tomyum meehoon. The food are ok~ not so bad and not so delicious, totally eatable. lol

On the way to check-in, we went to Giant to buy drinking water because Tune Hotel didn’t provide any water dispenser service. Our room was on the 2nd floor and the first time we went by stairs since we didn’t see any lift nearby. lol Once reach the 2nd floor, i only notice that there are lift sign! XD waste of energy climbing two floors. Hahaha. Our room is quite small as expected but overall are ok and clean. I just don’t like the shower room because it is too small for me. I can’t move freely when bathing. :P After bath, we went to sleep for a while and went to take shuttle bus at 4.30pm to KK Town. The bus is free for hotel residents.

The journey to KK Town is around 20-30 min depending on traffic. KK has a lot of roundabout which i wonder why. :/ Once reach, we walk around The Waterfront. This place is quite happening as there are many bars and restaurants here. The place is located in front of Warisan Square and next to the sea! :D You can even see beautiful sunset from here. Next, we walk to the wet market + night market. Since i feel a bit hungry, i went and bought apam balik and sotong bakar. The seafood here are very expensive. You need to try to negotiate until you feel that the price offered is reasonable. If not please don’t buy or else you’ll feel cheated. :/

After finish eating, we continued to the handicraft market which is very near to the night market. I bought magnet that can place at the fridge’s door for my mum. :) 3 for RM10. My dear continue to buy some souvenir for her mum and sisters. After that we decide to continue our journey to Tanjung Aru… by bus! We thought it was easy. We just went to any bus that pass through since all are the same bus. After few minutes on the bus. The sky start to become dark but it only around 6pm! =.= Then we decide not to go there and drop at Handicraft Street. We went inside shopping for a while and then walk back to Warisan Square.

On the way there, my dear suddenly said want to eat something. We went to McD again to eat. Ara bought his last collection of Contour Glass. XD finally he have his complete collection of McD contour glass. My dear having her usual McChicken medium set and i didn’t order anything. :P I only ate her fries but i notice that Sabah McD’s fries are very salty! :/ i need to shake a little bit to remove the salt before i eat it. After eat we continue to Warisan Square and wait for our shuttle bus to come. Ara left his glass at the McD and run back with YY. XD I wait for the bus with my dear. The bus came around 8pm and we went back to 1Borneo and Tune Hotel. Since we was so tired, we went back to our own room to relax. Although 1st day is quite messy and tiring, but we see a lot of stuff that normally we wont see in peninsular.  :D Sleep and continue to day 2!

On 26th of September 2009, i took my dear to Tun Dr. Mahathir’s Open House. This is the first time i went to his house which is located at The Mines housing area. That time, my car is not allowed to enter the area. We were asked to wait outside for the train to come and pick us up but we didn’t. We decided to walk to his house. It took us about 15 minutes to reach Tun’s house. Once arrived, we saw a lot of people visiting his open house. Tun’s house is not as big as i thought it would be but his house’s garden area is very large enough to fit a few hundred of people who came to visit.

I saw a lot of people lining up to take picture and shake hand with his son. Since both of us so hungry, we went to take our food and find a place to sit and eat. After finish eating, Tun and his wife went out greeting everyone and a lot of people taking picture and shaking hand with him. Since i saw a lot of people surrounding him, i gave up hope to shake his hand. T_T It is not that i don’t want too, just that we don’t have much time and need to go back early.

look out point

The next day after i went to Banting, my dear ask me to go to look out point or little genting because she want to celebrate one of her friend birthday. We went from Cyberjaya around 7 something. I was lucky because my friend, Mr. E, borrowed his phone’s GPS to guide me to the location. For your information, i have no idea how to go to that place. lol

The place is located around Hulu Langat area. We took Kajang Highway from Cyberjaya and exit somewhere around Hulu Langat exit. That is the first time i driving blindly. XD I just follow where the gps told me to. Once exit the highway, the road around there is freaking dark. =_= With the help of gps, i managed to take them there successfully.

The place is quite happening as there are lights everywhere and bunch of humans around the area having dinner. There are a few restaurants for us to choose and we decided to have dinner in Gasoline. We give the cake we bought to the cashier to give surprise to.. i’ll just name her Ms. S. lol I notice that the menu is already change. I order a set of black pepper butter chicken dinner set + drink while my dear is ordering sambal seafood rice. Mine was yum yum while my dear’s was uekk!! XD

After all of us finish eating, we wait for the cake to come. The workers took quite a long time to bring the cake to our table. Before they bring the cake, they play the birthday song and all of us sing for her. She did not expect the cake would come at that time and quite surprised. lol We took a bunch of pictures with her and left the restaurant.

Next, we went to the Look Out Point to view the whole KL area. I was quite shock with the scene. It was very beautiful to see KL area at night. *awwwwww* After we took pictures around the area and chit chat, we went back to the car and continue go back to Cyberjaya. On the way back i was super fast since i know the way back! haha! We reach back home in Cyberia Condominium around 12am.

Greetings! Last week i brought my zhu zhu to Banting without telling her the location. This is my plan to gotcha her as she thought that i was bringing her to Bagan Lalang again. XD so fun! I just keep silent in the car and enjoying hitz.fm channel. Singing~ dancing~ :3 Actually before the trip i call our friend who currently working in Bukit Tinggi and plan to meet up with him for dinner. After we reach Banting, my phone rang, i pick up and my friend Mr. T called and asked whether i reach Banting already or not. By that time i can’t keep the secret anymore and tell her all the plan. She was shock and happy since we did not meet Mr. T for quite a long time.

We left Cyberjaya around 3.30pm after we went to Subang Jaya SS15 to buy her medicine at Ranjit Clinic. After a long drive and hot..  sorry i mean freaking hot weather, we reached Banting Town and follow Pantai Morib signboard.  On the way, we notice that there are one more beach in the area, Pantai Kelanang. In 15 minutes, we reach Pantai Morib. *excited* Once reach we took a few pictures at the Monument.

Mr. T took us to his house and we have a chit chat for a while before going for dinner. We decided to go to Jusco Bukit Tinggi as Mr. T said that is the biggest Jusco in Malaysia. My dear excited to go there since she loves shopping so much.

Mr. T

From his house, it took around 10 minutes before we reach Jusco Bukit Tinggi. Once reach, we walk around to hunt for food. After a long eeny, meeny, miny, moe, we decided to have our dinner at Kim Gary Restaurant.  We sit and have a long chat until almost 10pm. We just walk around the mall and window shopping. After done, we say good bye to Mr. T and wish all the best and went back in separate way. We use the Kesas Highway to go back to Cyberjaya. We reach Cyberjaya around 11 something. :)

Trip to Sg. Klah Hot Springs

25 08 2009
hot spring entrance

hot spring entrance

On 25th August 2009, i took my dear to Sg. Klah Hot Spring in Sungkai. We started our journey around 10am from Cyberjaya. We stopped at Jejantas Sg Buloh to have our breakfast. After that we continue our journey to Sungkai. We reached Sungkai around 1230pm.

Once reach the Sg Klah Hot Spring Resort, i went to buy the ticket entrance that worth RM10 per person. The weather is quite hot that day and not much people around in the area. We walk from the entrance to the pool area which took us around 5 minutes. The area around this resort is quite clean and the workers here are friendly.

We took our time to take pictures and look around the resort until 2pm. After that we went change our clothes and rent a locker to keep our stuff secure. The locker cost RM2 per locker. First, we went to the cold pool and having fun bathing and riding the big octopus. :3 After that we went to other area to feel the temperature of the hot spring. We went to the Hot Spring Theraphy Path where we can walk through the path flows with hot water. The hot water temperature is moderate, but i need to bear the pain of my feet as i walk on the stone. :-S

Next is the hot water mini pool (i dunno what they call it :3). This is where they make a few pools that contains different temperature of water. I tried a few pool and can only last for 1 minutes or so. The water here is quite muddy because i think they did not clean the pool properly. The next destination is the biggest hot spring pool in the area. The pool is quite beautifully designed. Since the weather is quite hot that time, not many people dare to bath inside the pool. XD

We went to eat some snacks we bought along and asam laksa before we continue to play. My dear was so into the asam laksa. Haha. She even want to eat it again before going back. After ate, we rest for a while before continue to play in the cold pool. We went to take our begs and went to bath in the public bathroom. My dear did not manage to eat laksa one more time because we need to rush back as Ernest is calling us to go eat steambot buffet. We went back from Sg Klah at 5.30pm and reach Cyberjaya at 7.00pm.
