Sabah Trip (2) - The Mystery One

24/12/2009

The second day in Sabah
we rented a Proton Waja for around RM 140+ and off we go to somewhere nice ^^
guess where is that place?
we get a cheaper agent price for the car since my uncle is working in a hotel and know this guy
if not I think the normal price will be RM220

Before our destination, we passed by the Puh Toh Tze, a Buddhist temple which is situated off Jalan Tuaran
It is a big temple...

with a sleeping Buddha inside

After jalan-jalan there and take some photos, we continued our journey...
look at the strong wind out there...

Yes! I think you guess it right!
we headed to the Kinabalu Park, at Kundasang!
If I'm not mistaken, this is the place where you can find the trail up to the Mount Kinabalu^^
Entrance fee is required
Adult RM3 and Child RM1
so cheap right? and with this ticket u can go to the Poring Hot Spring (our next destination)

We found a restaurant there to had our lunch


After lunch, we went for a short walk

We then continued our journey to the Poring Hot Spring
This place is located in the lowlands and it took us around 1+ hr to reach there from the Kinabalu Park
there are also other interesting areas in the park to be visited such as the butterfly farm, the Poring Orchid Conservation Centre, the tropical garden, the Poring canopy walkway, and the Rafflesia flower site
but of cause you got to walk a lot ^o^

The crowded outdoor hot spring pool
there are different sizes for different part of body
for example there are bigger pool for the whole body to soak in
and there are also a smaller one just for legs

This is the indoor hot spring pool where u need to rent
I think is RM15 per hour
this should be a nice one and u get the privacy
BUT
too bad... once we reached there started to rain
is raining heavy (as u can see in the photo)

So we ended up doing nothing there
why? there are 2 main reasons
1: is raining
2: by that time is already around 4+pm, is late
( at Sabah the sunset is early, around 6pm the sky already starting to get dark)


So we decided to go back to Sunny's Village, the place where we are going to stay over one night

Along the way back, we stopped by a long row of stalls to get some fresh vege for tonight's dinner
This place is like a small market with every stall selling the same stuff

The view from top (near the stalls)

Here it is... the Sunny's Village
ermm... or maybe Sonny's Village
I guess those ppl there just don't care about that
It is around 1km futher up from the Kinabalu Park
It is really like a small village then got a few houses
since there were only 5 of us so we got the smallest one which is meant for 6 ppl
and this smallest one is made out from bricks, while others are wooden houses
is so unfair! and yet so unique!

The interior of it
opps... I forgot the tv and the sofa in the hall
and also the outlook of the house
hehe

The view from the front door
Is the Gunung Kinabalu!!!
(the wooden house below is what i said before, It is bigger and cater for more ppl)

A close up view
what a nice one... and I like the breeze up there
Is so cooling and fresh

I think around 6.30pm, the whole mountain is covered by mist or clouds
Is totally blur and I guess it is time for our dinner
having steamboat during the cold night
what a nice one!

According to my dad, got to depend on your luck to see the Gunung Kinabalu
cause it is always covered by clouds and mist
that's why it is also known as 'shen shan' in chinese...
don't you think so?
and how lucky we are to see that during that evening

we slept very early on that night
cause the next morning we going to wake up early^^

wake up early for what? hehe...
come back for my part 3 =)

Sabah Trip (1) - Excitement

23/12/2009
Today is the day, the day which everyone in the Wong family looking forward for
Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, here we come!

The fluffy white clouds

The crowded seats in AirAsia plane

First stop is my aunt's place, The Peak Condominium

The swimming pool where you can see the sea behind
What a nice view

The sea view along the main road

The roads in KK are so funny and weird...
there are lots of roundabout there along the main road
can't find this in Penang ^^

Night time after our dinner at a vegetarian restaurant which is located at the Kingfisher
our next stop is the new shopping mall in KK, the 1 Borneo

Nice Christmas decoration there too with the toy factory theme
But the toilet there is so terrible
30 cents per entry to the toilet, and the toilet is so small and dirty
suddenly got a feeling that I miss the toilet in MidValley =P

That's the end of the 1st day in Sabah


Oh ya... forgot to show u all something
this is the IMM 114
is like a pass for those Malaysians from Peninsular Malaysia to get into the East Malaysia

Wonder what I did in Sabah for the next few days?
Stay tune =)

对的人=幸福

最近从面子书上看到有几个和我同年的同学个个都结婚，找到了他们的幸福。
感觉上好恐怖。我不曾想过我现在这年龄是适婚年龄。
但也为他们感到高兴， 因为他们找到了对的人。。。

人生中寻寻兒兒，还不是为了找到对的人？

“爱要耐心等待　仔细寻找　感觉很重要
宁可空白了手　等候一次　真心的拥抱”

戴爱玲的这首歌，对的人，这一段我觉得很有道理。。。
他是对的人吗？我不知道，一切由时间来证明吧！

is really randomly ^^

Came back to Penang already 3 days
nothing much to do for these few days
but I felt that I'm not that free also

On the night we came back to Penang
we had a gathering dinner with my uncle and aunty
so long we never had the time to gather around
even my cousin sister's bf also join us for that
sure my po po will be very happy ^^
too bad we didn't take picture... what a waste :(

Then the next few days nothing to do so I accompany my sis and mum for shopping
Well, shopping is better than staying at home doing nothing right?
but I don't really have much time to shop
cause our shopping is a bit rushing... just to buy some stuff that we need for the KK trip...

Today morning I accompany my po po to do acupuncture for her foot
she always complained of numbness over the sole of the foot
and this was my 1st time to see the whole procedure

After today only I know that acupuncture is not like what I imagine
not only just needles on the leg, It is much more high tech than what I know...
the needles are connected to a little machine
and a current at certain frequency was being transmitted to the leg
just like the electrotherapy what I had learn
There is another lamp shine on the leg
I found out the chinese words on the lamp gives meaning electro magnetic radiation
hmmm... sounds familiar to me...
like the Short Wave Diathermy that I studied before

My dad always asked me to learn that after my physio course
so that will benefit my future

A C U P U N C T U R E ~ a bright future?

last weekend = holiday mood

This will be my last weekend in KL for the year 2009
Yippie!!! meaning my holiday is coming soon
I'm in holiday mood now, Christmas mood as well

Saturday, Jessica and I went to The Curve
SHOPPING!!!

Our 1st stop: Ikano

The Santa's Ship

The cute underwater Christmas notice board about the events

A giant snail slide for kids

Just walked pass there and took a picture while hunting for food

Finally decided
~Chocolate Lounge~
From left top corner (clockwise)
peppermint tea & pure drinking water
Ham and cheese sandwiches
French chicken toast
the layers of the sandwich

She is happily posing with the cute little tea bag

Then we went back to Ikano
now they put up the lights, looks nicer
there was a caroling by St Paul Church ( I think )

And I managed to take a pic with the Santa & Santarina
is the santarina pretty?

Then we headed to the Curve
nice decoration there with cupid angels

This is the place where there will be snowing during night time
sure it will be nice at night

We are so tiny in the ball ^^

That's the end of the day
tiring of walking =P but enjoyed

永远幸福快乐

不介意以往的过去
能在背后默默等待与付出
更加应该珍惜
说得对！
现在那样的人是少之又少了
去哪里找呢？
找到了那就不应该轻易的放手

他一路走来得不容易
有喜有悲
吃了多少苦
才能走到现在
唯一让他坚持到底的原因只有一个
那就是他深爱的她

她 把他的生命填上了色彩
她 成了他生命中的推动力
她 是他长年以来流泪的来源
她 让他体会到什么是真爱

谁说童话故事不能出现在现实生活里
谁说爱情不可能天荒地老与白头偕老

虽然那是少之又少的机会
还是祝福他永远幸福快乐

Leaving Soon~

Holiday is coming soon
and Lesley is taking early leave
going to fly back to Kuching
So we just went to nearby, JayaOne for a better lunch
a better lunch at least is better than the college food^^
Long time never been there, change a lot oso

and here we are
the Tappers

nice environment

our order (clockwise)
top right corner: Tappers Chicken Chop ~ RM 11.90
Fish and chips ~ RM 10.90
Chicken gulai with Dagang rice ~ RM 9.90
the food are subjected for 5% service charge but we get 10% student discount

My order, the chicken chop is kinda special cause the gravy is something like sweet n sour with onions
and there are green peas, baked potato and carrot

Tomato sauce with gulai chicken? weird weird combination!

Look at her, what's make her so busy?

This is the one!
her masterpiece ~ mashed green peas + lemon (hair & mouth) + lemon seed (eyes) + onion (hair)

After lunch we went for dessert at Secret Recipe
camwhore a bit before our cake is served

~ the tasty Hazel Cheese ~
my second time eating this and today only I know this cake and the Durian Cheese are under seasonal cakes, no wonder not always can see them in every Secret Recipe ^^



What expression is that?



Enjoyed the chit chat and the time being together ^^
wish them have a wonderful holiday!
