Part 1
YoooooooooooHoooooooooo! We r back! Where did we go for our rendezvous this time? We were at Kota Kinabalu! Never in my entire life that I imagine...I will step into this place ..AT ALL! We took the same flight as Sujimy and Haslinda and family ...I'm sure we all know who they r...yeah they r the brains behind many Suria reality programmes...we arrived at KK at about 5+ and by the time we were at Shangri La Rasa Ria...it was 8+ and it was so dark ...if we are in SG...it'll be about 10+. There was no difference of time only difference in the setting of the sun. As usual...the first thing I checked was the toilet! ok ...pass with flying colours! The room was ok ...and our balcony overlooked this place..the whole night I was thinking we were facing the road leading to the hotel...we went for dinner and this will be another part of my story...service...being the only Asians around...we were being treated differently...anyway there was this young waiter by the name of Chaulus..he's nice and we enjoyed our dinner of fresh fish and nasi goreng...then we went back to our room...did I mention b4 I love TV3! The whole nite was a marathon of TV3! Couldn't sleep the whole nite coz I was thinking our room was so near to the road...what about the resort security...anyway the guests next door were so noisy with balcony's door opening and closing and loud conversations!
The next day...the sun rose so early...was thinking of doing my Subuh ...woke up at 6 and opened the curtains...God! It's so bright like 8 in the morning...and guess what...what a spectacular view...we are facing the SEA! It was so beautiful! No time to explore the place and we got ready for picnics at Sapi and Manukan...two of Sabah's Tengku Abdul Rahman Marine Park...nice place to swim and see fishes...we had a puffer fish staring right straight into us...it was so funny...the fish must be thinking...what are these humans doing? Have they never seen a fish b4? I was also stalked by this pinkish looking fish who was trying to jab my leg...although it's small...but it was scary! Came back...had room service ...well by the way most of the time we were there it was usually room service coz I couldn't be bothered to dine and change into something presentable....we watched a cultural performance by the staff of the hotel and I can safely say I can dance Sabah style...hahahah...we watched a live band and I must say...walking around with a tudung in this hotel invites stares from many people...either I am sensitive or these people have never seen a tudung before...or maybe they are thinking I'm a terrorist!
The next day, we went to Mount Kinabalu...I must say...the gunung is really undescribable! It is spectacular! SPECTACULAR is an understatement! MAGNIFICENT! We went for a walk in the trail and I blanked out...after so many years of not using my inhaler...I used it! We saw the most expensive orchid only to be cultivated in Mount Kinabalu ...we were told it costs a few thousand dollars for a stalk! I was snoring on the way home and in the evening we went to town...we walked in the back alleys and I think KK is so much safer than JB..even the people is so much nicer...bought nothing much...except Najib bought a blowpipe..he told me he will use it for killing lizards for me..awww so dayak! The next day was free and easy for us..we bummed on the beach and in the afternoon we went to the nature reserve at ShangRi La to see the orang utans! We saw one peeing ...luckily I didn't stand under the tree or I'll be showered with Green T! Ha! At night...I packed our bags and watched TV3 again! And this morning...we set of...so here I am back ranting and ranting again...
