Kota Kinabalu trip


I'm posting from Kota Kinabalu today. Arrived here yesterday with my sis and niece. A friend of my niece - dauz- picked us up from the airport and took us to lunch at tanjung aru. He arranged for a taxi to take us up to Kundasang. the driver - j'nal turns out to be a nice young man, friendly and made the 2 ++ hour trip really nice. We stop a few times along the way to snap pics of the gunung kinabalu. Magnificent mountain - God's wonderful creation, pasak bumi bertuah Sabah.

J'nal brought us to The Pines Resort at Kundasang. Its beautiful in its simplicity, with pine trees all around and English-cottage designed rooms. Sampai agak lewat, lepas check-in dan mandi, we decided to walk down to the small town to get some stuff and fruits, my sis got some problem passing motion (heheh). It turned out to be NOT such a good idea after all.. it seems we're the only ones doing it.. ahakks!! The road leading to town is the main road to other places such as Ranau, Telipod, Sandakan etc.. So lotsa traffic, the buses were swishing by it seems at the speed of light!!! There were no street lights either!!!! Mak aii... makan abuk jer kitorang malam tu, sampai ke resort, kene mendaki jalan yang agak curam... I was moving as fast as a tortoise!!!! Shows just how 'fit' I am..!! I really need to work out..serious!!!! And the wind blowing was sooooo cold.....!!!


We decided to eat dinner terus, rather than balik bilik and having to trek down again later. At least 4 big round tables were occupied, having steam boat!!! Yummy!.. but we decided to have a proper nasi and lauk meal instead. I must say, the food is not bad at all.. Berbaloi la dengan harga yang kitorang bayar. After dinner, a short trek to the room and after a hot bath, everybody's ready to sleep off the day...
