4D3N Kota Kinabalu, Sabah - Day 2

The next morning before we started our island trip, we had hotel breakfast. It wasn't a buffet, but there is availability of set of meals provided. The music played in the hotel has caused me indulging in romantic atmosphere. A great approach to customers :) ahha

Our set meals


Jesselton Point, is the ferry terminal for Islands. It is only a few minutes drive from town, was really convenient for all the tourists. When you stepped in the hall to purchase tickets, all the competitors started to shout for your attention to their counters.

After consideration, we decided to go for 2 islands - Pulau Gaya and Pulau Sapi (Pulau Manukan, Pulau Sulug & Pulau Manutik as other choices).

Diving and snookering are both common activities for sea lovers. In short, Pulau Gaya was for jungle trekking, Pulau Sapi for corals viewing, and Pulau Manutik for fishes.

The sea was getting clearer and cleaner when we were fetched to the respective islands. The first stop was in Pulau Manutik, due to some tourists chose for this.

Recommendation: It was recommended to go for Pulau Manutik and Pulau Sapi. Pulau Gaya was kind of deserted place whereas no much people chose to go there (even though it was the largest among all)

Even though we were just sitting in the boat, we could see small fishes so clearly under the sea.

Definitely, we also hunted for food. We were shocked of the seafood price. Generally, we thought that seafood in Sabah should be cheap. In fact, we weren't able to get cheap seafood in KK. Due to so much hunger, we tried Port View Seafood Restaurant because it was nearer to our place.

The food was promising, but it costed around RM80 for this meal. If you plan to order for fresh seafood, it costs even higher. You really need to think twice before order or choose other seafood restaurant located out of the town.

As for our dinner, we settled down in a food court. But, the food court belongs to 4 seafood restaurants. When you stepped into it, you got no way out. All of them were so friendly pushing you to place an order to their food. We chose Old Village Seafood Restaurant.

Tips: You could notice all of the hawker centre, cafe or restaurants, they will place chili sauce on the table.

I can guarantee all the seafood there are fresh. They put all the aquariums or tanks outside their restaurants for eaters to choose, and make the order immediately. After that, they only take the seafood lively from the tank.




Day 2 ended.

Next episode will be....green-ish exploration :P

Spell or Hallucination

If you know a person, She claimed that "the maid put the spell on my family, at night a small boy will bite my foot, when I kick him away and I heard the sound of crying. Apart from that, she is mumbling at night. My daughter started to speak rudely to me, and did not call me as mother anymore. She moved back to her own house. My husband, he started to scold me in Malay, and also instructed the maid to beat grandsons. Everyone is sided the maid" No one is believing what she said. Her children claimed that she is just hallucination. She is just thinking too much because of her experience in stroke. After she got a stroke, things started to change. Her family did not treat her well. What is your advice? Is the maid put the spell on her family? Is she just thinking too much?

Full stop is not a Stop

My study has come to the full stop. After the submission of my final year project, I thought I will be delighted, yet I wasn't. I was apathetic. No more motivation to complete it, I already forgotten my achievement goals, I have given up. During the phase of life, I felt Life is just ain't about perfection. Imperfection in life is the essence of our growth. In order to grow, old proverb saying "no pain, no gain", it indeed applies to everyone of us. Being through thick and thin, sweat and tears, I started to realise that adaptation to sudden change is incredibly important. For instance, we have a goal to get a First Class Honour in our degree program, but our result speaks no to us. Is it show that we are stupid? Nope, it only tells us that it is a piece of paper which might granted us to obtain better job, yet which class you get is not the guarantee to get a better job. The end of college life, is the start of _______ life. People will fill in the blank themselves....

Look Out Point, Ampang

To see Kuala Lumpur nightview, familiar people will tell you to go Look Out Point, Ampang. Cold breeze on your face, indeed refreshing your mind of a day, in provided that the surrounding is quiet. Look out the view from the tower, numerous of yellow lights like stars shining on you. The most attractive point will be KLCC. A romantic place to be, for couples. Please bring a camera, if not the view can't really be seen (like my photo above). It is best to calm yourself down, by looking at the night view. The surrounding is dim, and you could just be yourselves, without bothering anyone around you. The first time, I came with a down feeling, thus I felt better to do the same. There is few restaurants there. We tried Bread and Olives, as recommanded by my friends. The drink was so-so. The hot chocolate like milo, and the nescafe also like milo. Hot drink is not hot enough. Haha. But, most important thing is to get yourself a good seating to enjoy the night view. We ordered this. Thin ...
