This is a bit overdue..but i didnt have time to blog about it before..

sabah travels
Day 1
Flight was at 11.10. Went to KLIA by ERL.Nearly missed the train by a few seconds .. if not for one of the ERL staff who saw me running with my stilletos and all...
just like in the "Ruuuun Forest Ruuuuun " scene...luckily the kind gentleman put his foot in the middle of the door..stopped it from closing and allowing me to jump in.. missing the closing door by a few centimetres..
2-ish pm
arrived in Kota Kinabalu airport with Fazry alreay waiting for us..
sorry le nenn.. tapi aku terkejut kejap masa tengok airport air asia KK.. ingat ke Bus station.. hihihi...
3-ish pm
NewZealand?Mersilau?
Checked in at Sutera Harbour .. Fabulous room.. Was a bit surprised as the bathroom had a wooden window which opened up into the main room.. Im sure they were having honey moon couples in mind when they put that up..

Lunch at Mersilau.Its directly at the foot of Mount Kinabalu.. It was raining while we were having lunch but it cleared up on our way down.. and Lo and Behold.. we got to see the Mount Kinabalu peaks.. and My God.. it was one of the most beautiful sights.. couldnt stop taking pictures all the way on our way down..

Arrived in Kundasang. We actually passed it on our way to Mersilau but everyone decided to go there first instead so we stopped here on our way back to KK..
It was something like Cameron Highlands.There was this market selling cheap cheap vegetables..

Dinner at Port View sea food restaurant. Delicous food.. wonderful company..bliss

Day 4
Last day in KK.. We all drove to Kota Belud.. it was about an hours drive from KK..This was a sorta pasar tani selling everything from local handy crafts.. pearls.. Carved parangs..to local food.Nearly everyone bought a parang or pedang.. apparantly this place is famous for it.
Had to check out by 1 pm..
The bosses flight was at 4 but ours were at 8 so.. another 5 hours of shopping in KK..Had a shopping spree at the Pasar Phillippine.
Took of from the hotel around 7... Sampai kat airport...
" eh.. asal lain je tempat nih..?!. Pakcik!!!!! kami naik Air Asia.. bukan MAS!!!!"
"eh ya ke?"" vrooooooooooooommmmm.. sped off to the correct airport
Got there just in time to check in..They were actually waiting for our group..
Fortunately there were no delays ( That was record.. some people say.. kalau tak delay.. namanya bukan Air Asia lah tuh!)
Arrived in KLIA around 10.30 pm.. aaaaahh... look at the pretty lights... civilisation!.. Hujan Emas di negeri orang.. hujan batu di negeri sendiri...u know the end to that..Got a lift back to Kepong and arrived home at 12.30 pm
