Kota Kinabalu, Sabah - Day 5

Hi Hi!

So finally, the last day of our trip to Kota Kinabalu.

Phew! Can't believe I kind of, sort of post everyday in KK up at one go. 

Because you know, normally people would have post it at interval with other post so that people won't get bored reading it, or they are really very happening to have all sort of stuff to blog about. =P

Okay enough with nonsense and here is another entry that consist of mainly pictures.

I shall talk more next time, I guess? =D

So for the last day, we went to 2 islands, Pulau Manukan and Pulau Sapi.

Bread and drinks for later on the islands.

It is better for you to buy your food before going to the islands in case you get hungry later on. But who else am I kidding?! Of course you will get hungry after all the water activities you going to have there.

Although I'm not sure about the prices for the food sold on the island, I'm still convinced that bringing your own food is better. For people like us that travels on budget at least.

Plus, any kind of buns and snacks tastes as great as any other gourmet food when you are hungry. =D

Preparing to board our speed boat. 

Still have time for one last pose before going into the boat. 

First stop, Pulau Manukan. 

 How cute are they? I hope I can be as loving as them with my future husband when we got old. <3

Second stop, Pulau Sapi. 

We walked back to our hotel/inn after that and it was hilarious. We did not change back to our normal clothes and we just walked back with bikinis and scarf wrap around us the above picture. 

*Sorry no bikini photos here! xD*

It was not that weird when you were at Jesselton Point, but try imagining walking around like that on the road with shopping malls beside you and cars on the road and you crossing roads. LOL!

Bathed and went out for dinner at the restaurant just beside our stay for the last day, Ang's Hotel.

Old school elevator. Nostalgic.

And now, comes the food and highlight of the night. I present to you, the famous Fatt Kee Kopitiam's chicken wings, Oyster Sesame Sause Chicken Wings!

This is the yummiest chicken wing I've ever tasted!

And before I sit here and write out this post, I had no idea that this restaurant was so famous. We just went down to this restaurant, sat down, ordered couple of dishes without knowing anything. That was the best dish I tasted during my entire trip to Kota Kinabalu. Maybe there are other dish KK is famous for but I have not tried it, so I would not judge if you say there are others more tasty than this. And people have different taste and liking in food, so yup, for me this is the best. =)

Braised trotters or pork leg as we like o call it.

It was yummy according to my friends, but I do not do pork leg because of the fats. It was just okay for me.

Takoyaki.

Yummy according to my friends who ate few serving of this for like everyday during our trip there. 

Headed back to Ang's Hotel after strolling the mall, which I have totally forgotten the name and exact mall we went to, and then out again to Texas GrillRestaurant and Bar.

 "Ma hamster", says le boyfriend.

Glad we make a trip there. The atmosphere was nice for chilling out, having dinner and so on. With music that was not too loud for our ears and we can actually hear what my friends were talking about which in some cases in other restaurant and bar, we could only see their lips moving but all we heard was the loud music blasting in the background.

So that was about it, my trip to Kota Kinabalu. And gosh, finally it is all up and published. HAHAHA! 

Week 13 & 14, 2014

Hi hi!

It's been absolutely the best week ever so far in year 2014.

Went for a staycation at Sematan Beach Resort, happy hour with a bunch of energetic friends and most importantly, accompany my friend to look for her perfect wedding gown! =D

I'm so so happy for her and also excited on helping her with the whole wedding planning stuffs. Really can't wait! =D


ANYWAY, let's talk about my stayction at Sematan first, shall we? =)

So in Week 13 or should i say the end of week 13, our friend came back from miri so we all decided to take 1 or 2 days leave off and went for a staycation at Sematan. It took us around 1 and a half hour to 2 hours to reach there.

 Say hi everyone!

 Lunch.

Looks disgusting but it's the bomb after we spread on our homemade sambal. =)

Nice view isn't it?

Credits to Tyng and Hui for taking the pictures.

After swimming and volleyball session, we went back our hostel to start up fireplace for BBQ dinner that night.

 Cooked our rice using pot on stove.

Have not done this since secondary school during one of my scouting modern cooking exam.

Luckily it turned out great! Except for the part where the inconsistent heat emitted from the stove that burned part of the rice (= =)"'

Have not taken much picture after this 'cause I have gone for shower and my camera's battery died on me after that. I did remember charging it not long ago before this but *sigh* it is destined I guess. *wink*

 But luckily I still managed to capture some of our dinner before my camera's battery dies. =)

After dinner we went out to the beach with marshmallow and fireworks.

The view, was beautiful. We all laid on the beach, looking up in the dark sky with hundreds and thousands of stars above us. 

It was amazing. 

The sound of the waves hitting against the shore, with thousands of stars above us, the warmth and dim light from the fireplace just in front of us, and great company with our pals. Those memory are so vivid to me whenever I close my eyes. 

Never would I thought that I could find such surreal feeling in such normal beach in Sematan. I guess it is not always about how many stars the hotel has or how well known the place is but the little things we do together and the company that makes the quality of the stay.
