Sei Kee @ cK's personal web log: Trip to Kota Kinabalu___ 29th Dec '10

xxxxx
Day 1___

I woke up early because I had yet to pack. Baby came over early to help me to fill my luggage. I treated her with a good breakfast after that. We had a full stomach before heading to the airport. We were the last team to arrive at the airport but we were not eliminated. Phew! haha. We had to pay another 5bucks each at the Brunei airport [Domestic Passenger Service Charge as stated on the receipt]. Baby and I didnt get to sit side by side on the plane but she had a window seat. She loves the taking-off and landing moments, just like many kids do! :D

It took about 30 minutes to get to KK by plane. It took longer for us to queue at the immigration =/
We stayed at Le Hotel located at Warisan Square for the 5d4n trip! Han and I had rooms with a window (RM138/night) while others had window-less room (RM120/night). Every room has a unique settings; some had tv right in front of their bed, some had it on the side; chua's toilet comes with a translucent mirror where he can peek-a-boo anytime he wants. lol. According to the guys, I had the best room. Probably because of the great view? It was very nice to see the lively town during day and night! So after we settled in, we went to Centrepoint for our first meal. We had Kenny Rogers Roaster!

Adison brought us to a bar at waterfront on the first night. We all thought "Hey! We are in KK so we should be drinking all night long!" haha. After 3 nights in a row, I give up. I prove myself wrong. I just cant do it anymore =P We had tigers, heinekens, stouts for the first night and we had a ohlala night. Not too drunk but we felt good. Oh, and adison was sick at that time. That didnt stop him from ordering more!

DAY 2___

Second day was island day! I still remember the night before we went to hunt for baby's sarong because it was the theme for the ladies! It was funny to see baby got frustrated at times, she just wanted to have a freaking sarong! =P Luckily there was this shop selling all kinds of sarong just before we hit the island.

We went to Manukan island again but didnt really enjoy much. It was already around 1plus in the afternoon when we got to the island. We wanted to play the banana boat but the only time available was 2pm. So after a short while in the water, we went to the jetty and waited for our banana boat. 'We' refer to:: Alvin, me, chua, han and fiona. We waited for so long, until the sky became very dark. I think it was around 3plus when we hopped on the boat. But we were not alone, a bunch of guys hopped on together with us. The fun level dropped with another gang on the boat. Anyway, we had our shot first before the guys. It was pretty scary to fall into the middle of the sea. Twice! We should definitely try it again next time!! Life's too short not to take risk. haha!
So after we got back to the island, the rest of the guys were already packed up and ready to leave. So much for paying the snorkel set! Weather was not so good at KK according to the boat operator, it rains almost everyday.

We all had our dinner at Little Italy @ kk town where baby fell in love with the pasta and pizza! We waited for quite some time before the table was ready for all of us. It's one-stop for pasta for a good reason!

We had our ohlala time at Icebar @ OneBorneo during our second night. There is a big freezer inside the bar, hence the name icebar! lol. It's nothing more than a container with big hp air-conditioners! The temperature is kept to almost 0 degree! I guess that's the reason why they do not have a dance floor, they acted smart and replaced it with a freezer! Brilliant! At icebar, the girls had free flows of cocktails until 12am. The guys had becks as starter for that night. After chilling out a while in the "freezer", Adison thought we should get more crazy. He ordered flaming lamborghini for the guys. The guys went from "okay" to "damn it. Louder music please" instantly! I guess we were strong that he ordered again - rainbow drinks for all 7 of us. I googled the rainbow drink and it says: a drink where u mix spunk, discharge and all tha shit in a cup and drink it!!!!! LOL. We had not one but two shots of rainbow each. Thanks to Adison for treating us the lamborghini. We felt as if we really drive one! :D

Oh, chua and janet didnt join us because chua was not feeling okay after dinner. Or probably janet didnt want him to drink so much before the happy night at b.e.d? =P

breakfast time!!

DAY 3___

It was the new year's eve. It was also the shopping day for all of us. We went to OneBorneo by the free shuttle bus hoping to shop a lot but it was not successful. Baby and I decided not to stay long and we were right, Centrepoint was a better shopping place for us. At the Centrepoint Sabah, we did shop till we drop, carrying our shopping goodies with a great smile on our face. What a good stuff to do before the year ended!

We had our last dinner in 2010 at a chinese restaurant situated just below our hotel. After that, we off to b.e.d! Not that bed but yeah, the best club. We had a great time counting down at b.e.d (best entertainment destination), it's no doubt the no.1 club in Kota Kinabalu!! We paid RM130+ each to secure a table and 4 bottles of Johnny walker (black label) on that night, definitely worthwhile! We only managed to finish 3 bottles, if only Nick was around. Sigh. The music was so loud that it blasted all of us away. lol. We finished our party around 2am before we headed back to our hotel rooms and had a good time sleeping. Luckily we did not have to fly back to Brunei on the first day!

DAY 4___

It was the new year of 2011! I remember I woke up early and I puked? haha. But I felt great! And that was the time when I realized I should not drink anymore :( We all assembled late on that day, due to the party (good times) the night before. I remember we walked back to hotel around 2+. Luckily b.e.d is situated near to our hotel, or else I doubt any taxi drivers would want to carry us back. lol.

First day of 2011 was another shopping day for us. Baby and I decided to go to Wisma Merdeka and Suria Sabah while others go back to OneBorneo, for therapy massage? It was another great time shop-till-we-drop day!! :D We can actually walk to Wisma Merdeka but instead we paid RM10 to get the job done. We walked back from Suria Sabah to our hotel after filling our stomach with little italy's pasta! Baby actually wanted to have little italy in the morning but who eats pizza for breakfast? Well not for the hangover guy a.k.a me. I had a worst headache on the 1st day of 2011 but that did not stop me from shopping and having fun! Time flies during fun times, like really flies~~

We had seafood on the first night of 2011! It costs us RM367 altogether for ordering more than 5 dishes, that's RM40 for each of us, B$17+! :D
So the last night the guys decided to drink again! haha. We all went to white room situated at Times Square KK but I insisted to not drink. Everyone else were wearing so formal to the White Room (bar, club lounge) that we initially thought it was okay to wear short pants! Luckily we didnt embarass ourselves! Baby and I had apple juice when everyone had cocktails and wines. We both left early because we scared we might be drunk again =P The guys went to waterfront to continue their drinking session again after they left Times Square. They are better drinkers! *thumbs up* haha.

start our new year with a smile :)

Little Italy - better than Fratini's and Pizza Hut =P

DAY 5___

The return-to-Brunei day! We were supposed to assemble at the lobby at 10am but we woke up late, thanks to the iPhone alarm glitch. Luckily we did pack already the night before, so we did not have to rush so much. We arrived airport around 11am and our flight was around 12pm. Baby and I got to sit together on the plane this time, thanks to chua and janet!
