Sabah trip was awesome ttm (:
Lots of fun and laughter, especially with Kelly, Emma, Linghui and Wanleng :D
Day One!
It's byebye Singapore! We had to be at the airport uber early at 6.15 am! After check in, had breakfast with Daddy and the girls before going in to take the plane to KK! (: Mad photo frenzy on the plane because we were so fascinated by the awesome view outside (: Okay la, I suaku kid, second time take plane, that's why so amazed. Hahaha (:
After touching down, we went to have lunch at a local restaurant! (:
After that, it was the city tour around the place, which includes the State Museum, A chinese temple, as well as the state mosque. Went to the biggest shopping mall in KK, known as One Borneo, and shopped around there. After that it was dinner. Lol, the dinner sucked, because Kelly found a finger nail in the lemon chicken. Major eeeeewwwww. ):
Night market up next! It was a good thing that it wasn't raining! (: Bought a ring and a wallet there (:
Back to the hotel that, and here are my roomies for 4 nights!
Day Two!
Sort of the most boring day during the trip. It was a day of seminars. First up was talk by Sabah Tourism Board, then in the afternoon was Sabah Parks. Ahahah, literally fell asleep la. Still you can see how bored we were.
All wearing specs hahaha! (:
But we were in for a special treat when our tour manager, Peter, told us that he'd take us to the local handicraft market to shop (: The view on the way to the market was awesome, and we took loads of pictures (:
Group picture! :D
Then at the handicraft market, we bought loads of souvenirs back for everyone (:
Peter also brought us to the Sabah Tourism Board's souvenir shop to purchase local coffee, tea and also a cute proboscis monkey soft toy! :D
After that, it was back to the second seminar, followed by 3 hours of free and easy (meaning shopping time) before we headed out for a seafood steamboat dinner (: We were treated by a cultural show as well!
Day Three!
Most awesome day of the trip (:
First up was a visit to the University of Malaysia, Sabah. (UMS) They shared about their Hotel and Tourism course, and we also went to their Museum. Their school has a super picturesque view! :D
This was take at UMS (:
Then we went to the Sutera Habour, where it had a resort and a hotel in its premises. We went for a resort and hotel inspection, and the place was super shiokkkkk! Enjoyed it so much!
Then we were in for a scrumptious meal for buffet! Ahahhaha, literally ate like a pig. Had laksa, salads, main courses, cakes, dessert, fruits. Ohmy, like major pigout! Hahahahh but the food was so good, I think it was the best that we ever had throughout the entire trip (:
Stopped by somewhere to take pictures :D
Next, we were off to Weston for our river cruise! It was kinda scary, being on a river that was crocodile infested, but it was really fun! We had tea time on a restaurant built on stilts!
The official river cruise then commenced! We were on the lookout for the proboscis monkey, and unexpectedly, we had the awesome privilege of seeing an amazing double rainbow (: We were so awed by it! Plus the sunset was absolutely stunning!
Isn't it pretty? (: It was the best experience of the trip! :D
Then we went back to the restaurant for our dinner till it was dark enough. We went back on the cruise to look at fireflies (: I caught one and really, it was like catching a star :D and and, there were ALOT OF STARS in the sky. All i can say was that, it was a really beautiful night that I would never forget.
Then it was back to the hotel for a well deserved rest (:
Day Four!
We set off to Mt Kinabalu Park! On the way, we went to a little town near the foot of the Mountain and took many fabulous pictures there (:
Isn't the view awesome? :D
Then we headed for lunch and trekking in the park! We saw the Poring Hot Springs, as well as the Canopy Walkway. It was like the suspension bridge thing and I was amazed at my courage to go on it! Okay la, end up it wasn't that scary (:
We also walked to a waterfall where we just took off our shoes and went in! The water was super cold and shiok! :D
Then we were so so so lucky to be able to see a blooming of the rafflesia! (:
This concluded the end of our nature trek, and then we went back to the hotel! We went to their Fish and Co to eat and it was so so so cheap! RM15.90 leh! (:
Then shopping at F.O.S, and i got banana republic's tank tops at 2 for RM32 :D Happy girl!
And I love Secret Recipe's Apple Cheese Slice. I don't know if Singapore sells it or not! It's like a cheesecake over an apple jam crust. Yummmmmmmm (:
Day Five!
It's byebye to the hotel and Sabah as we checked out early to go to a local kopitiam to eat breakfast. Then we went to the chocolate factory to get some chocolates for people back home (:
Then we headed to the airport!
Our tour guide Reynold!
Our Bus 2 Teacher In Charge Ms Quah (:
Then as usual we camwhored before boarding the plane. (:
And and, new friends on the trip :D
