It was the worst trip ever my travelling history.
We didn’t enjoy during our stay in Sabah lor. The journey took around 2 1/2 hours.. then, there are not that many interesting places to go. Erm.. there will be no trip to east coast liao. Nope… definitely!
Ahaha.. most of our time spent in the hotel, purely relaxing. Sisters were able to sleep but unlike me.. I had to spend most of my time watching tv because worried unable to resume sleep at night.. aihz..
Well.. at least we were able to go Manukan Island and Sapi Island which are located in 2 of the islands in Pulau Tunku Abdul Rahman lol.. hehe… Nothing special about these beaches.. especially Manukan Island!! Gosh.. it resembles of Port Dickson… and Sapi island at least, the beach look like greenish color.
Overall.. nothing special about the beaches in Sabah.. although I was told by some of my friends that Sabah beaches are amazing. to be honest.. I don’t find myself fascinated about that place! SUCKS!
Day 1
Woke up at 3 am. Finishing my packing by 3.40am. Waiting for the taxi to arrive.
4 am, taxi arrived and took us 35mins to arrive @ LCCT.
Check in and took our early breakfast @ McD.
Boarding @ 6 am and set to fly @ 7am.
Arrived @ KK @ 9.35am. Everything settled by 10.10am and set to leave the airport.
By 11am, we’ve arrived @ Promenade hotel (booked through PYO travel), checked in but unable to get our room, just yet! So, took a taxi (costs @ RM8) to go to little Italy. So cheesy and not that special about the pizza and the cheesy seafood fried rice. Maybe the side of the pizza taste abit crunchy..
All set to go to the Jetty to checkout prices for island hopping. TO our surprise, it only costs @ RM27/person + RM 6/person for tax and RM3/person for the island entry. This costs is for 2 island. It is up to the individual to go which island. We’ve choosen Manukan ISland and Sapi Island. (FYI, go to local agency charging RM180 and above for the tour in these two island!! So expensive! Of course inclusive of lunch but… it costs more than 300% incease!!!).. luckily we weren’t that stupid to book with them.. if not.. gosh! wasted ..
Went back to our hotel and got our key @ 12.30 pm.
Spent our time in the hotel until 3pm.. Panda and I went down to swim and got back into our room in less than 1/2 because the swimming pool is just too deep and sunny!
By 5.10 pm, we were ready to go for the BBQ hotpot @ 1 Borneo Mall but the bus came @ 5.45pm. Very punctual service. To our surprised, the journey took us 45mins to arrive! So far from the city and very terrible jam. The road system there sucks! They have too many round abouts. Gosh… we were so hungry. Even without jam, the journey still takes around 30mins. Aihz…
Went back to our hotel by 10.15pm and we were all set to ZzZz…
Day 2
Woke up @ 6.15am and look @ the sky, the sky is so bright. As if it is 7-8am in Kuala Lumpur! I wonder what time the sabahan work.. because by 5-6pm, the sky starting to turn dark!
Anyway.. finished our breakfast by 7.45am, we’ve waited for our taxi and arrived @ 8.15am. Bought our tickets and time is allocated to take photos.
1st Island took us @ least 20mins. It was so windy and cooling until we arrived @ Manukan Island. It was big/ huge but looks no difference than our PD beach lor. Aihz.. spent around 1 1/2 touring the island and even had some chat with mother to bitch about the island. Haha…
Left Manukan island @ 10.30am and next destination is Sapi Island. I think the journey is less than 10mins away. I was quite amaze with the beach color because it was so greenish! But the island is definitely very small. Within 1/2 hour, we’ve finished our tour and starting to wait for our boat @ the small jetty.
Arrived @ the Jesselton Jetty by 12.30pm. Went into grocerries store and bought our drinks and foods to eat in the hotel.. then, we didn’t come out from our room lor..
Day 3 - even worst
Woke up @ 7.45m. Had our breakfast @ 9.10am. finished then.. we were ready to go to Craft centre- philippino market lor. Spent 1/2 hour to shop for key chains, pearls and some dried foods for mother, sis and aunty. then, we waited for our taxi for 10 mins.
We arrived @ our hotel by 10.25am. Stayed until 1 pm.
Arrived @ the airport @ 1.25pm. Waited for our turn to ask the counter whether we can change our flight time from 6.30 pm to 2.05pm. Our request have been declined and so, we’ve waited for our flight for almost 6 hours before the plane all set to take off back to Kuala Lumpur! I even managed to finish my sister’s story book. Haha…
The plane landed @ 8.30pm and arrived @ home @ 10.30pm. Sister and parents were waiting for us lor.. hehe. so miss my dearest family members.. especially my parents :-p
It was very relaxing holiday in KK because , most of the time we were resting in the hotel!! Haha.. 
Well.. we had nothing to do. Sister – Panda was worried of getting herself dark and so am I. Although now I am quite tanned!! All because the island hopping.. exposed too much in the sun! Haha… this year is my most busiest year ever in travelling. :p
