Kota Kinabalu Day 1 | 10 February 2008

Many people might say that I'm crazy because never be home for CNY, instead going to KK for a mount climbing expedition. Well, I do not wish that I belong to one of the Petronas CNY ad's star(if you ever watch the touching ad fr Petronas).

Anyway, this KK trip was just for an experience! It was nothing bout relaxing or enjoying trip compared to the others, but this trip was for experience. Mount Kinabalu (Gunung Kinabalu) is a prominent mountain in Southeast Asia. It is located in Kinabalu National park in the east Malaysian state of Sabah, which is on the island of Borneo in the tropics.

We were now in Air Asia (Everyone can fly plane) taking off to Sabah! Yuhooo...
Some of our friends were already back at Sabah (their hometown) celebrating CNY with their beloved family members. And here we are, the few of us that cabut on the 4th day of CNY to attend a very important mission, that is to climb Mount KK. Wahaha...



Leaving the Kuala Lumpur atmosphere..



My deuter pouch given by Justin tat served me good and made my trip easier!



Justin with his GPS.. he was too bored cause everyone was snoring.. :P



Guess who is she? I caught her most beautiful moment?? Ehe.. It is good to stay awake all the time yea.. haha.



Entering the refreshing air of Sabah...



Finally, after 2 hours plus of flight, we reached safely at Kota Kinabalu International Airport. And our first visit for the day was to Pastor William Vun's church "Glory Christian Centre".





This was the worship moment and take note on the projector! This was the old typical China's instruments.. haha. Great!



There was a special performance from this little girl for the CNY festive season. She can really groove well.. =P





Church service ended bout 1pm and all of us were already hungry. We then moved on to have our lunch at one of the stalls.

These were Sabah's most famous steam dumplings..



These were the same dumplings, just tat they were fried.



And this was the Sarawak's famous Koa Lo Mee... to taste a real good koa lo mee, go to Sarawak!



Due to CNY, Joanna's family decided to hold a buffet dinner for us! Thanks for all the wonderful tasty food!! :)



These were all the dishes cooked by Joanna's aunt! Thumbs up!!!



And, our dear Jenny will turn 27 this year.. huhu. Sorry to say that we were bored with chocolate creamy cakes, thus, a coconut candle will be interesting and special!! Wahaha..



A pic with great effect huh?!



OMG, this little girl is seriously a princess charming! If you ever hear her laughter and see her smile, you will definitely fall in love with her! She's just a very beautiful little princess!!!



After dinner, we had a walk along the beach. Btw, Joanna's house is near this beach.. soo syook.



Our day finally ended with packing! Look at the amount of things that we brought for the climbing. It was real crazy to use 3 normal backpacks to go up the hill as I do not have any camping backpacks. And that was the time where all my bags were stuffed to the max. Haha..

Sleep well everyone!!!! :P
