Kota-kinabalu

Remember what I said in my last entry? Redbabe and I was going for a short trip. Well... we went to Kota Kinabalu for a 3d/2n holiday from 10/01 till 12/01. I supposed to leave for KL on Friday and from there, will catch a plane to KK on early Sunday morning. But instead, I went to watch 'Avatar' on Friday night. Have heard so much about it. Therefore, it is a must see. Met up with Tenny for steamboat dinner that night and St.Chaire joined us later for the 9.15pm show. We enjoyed it so much. It was really nice to watch something different. We parked our car on the rooftop of the mall. When we went to collect our car later, I took a few pictures of St.Chaire and it turn out like that. Scary and weird.**** I took the 2.30pm deluxe bus on the next day (Saturday) to Kuala Lumpur. It was very comfortable. I got off at the Petronas station just after the Sg. Besi toll and my daughter came to picked me up. We went to a very special sea food restaurant at Klang that evening with Terri and her family. Overall it was nice except for one of the dish; the stingray. It was not fresh. Very not fresh. We rejected it. Cheap though. ***********
Our flight to KK the next day was an early one departing at 9:30am. Therefore, we have to be at the airport latest by 8.30am. Since we did not get to have any breakfast earlier, we went to this 'Buy N Fly' cafe to have our not so nice and expensive breakfast before boarding onto Airasia flight number 5215. We arrived in KK after 2hours 30mins later. We checked into the "Imperial International Hotel" there. Imagine being given a room with no view but facing a hall instead? The feeling was bad so we requested for a change. With RM20.00 extra we get this view.......and this red lazy chair, hehehe. We went out to look around after that. Saw some billiard saloons with lots of people (dare not take picture as they don't look very friendly). We had our late lunches in one of the coffee shop. On our way back to the hotel we collected some flyers of massage services. It was really cheap. Rm55.00 for 1hour of body massage and half hour of foot massage. Both of us went for it and they did a really good job. It was very relaxing. We saw many big umbrellas by the sea front from our room window and decided to check it out after the massage. It was actually a Philippine market selling everything from fresh vegetable to seafood and cooked food too. The barbecue seafood looks so yummy. We couldn't resist it and ordered some squids, prawns and fish (7star grouper). It was so delicious especially the sambal (chilly sauce) and super cheap too. The feed back was, must come back again tomorrow.

Good to read your version of that day after reading Redbabe's version. Now I understand why you need to change your room after seeing that photo of the so-not-nice view of the hallway. Yes, better pay RM20 extra for that nicer seaview.

Hello. Excuse me just a question. I heard talking about Thailand here. I'm about going on holiday to Asia. I would like some info on Pattaya in Thailand. I would know if It's a good place to go with family or should I choose another place? Thank You so much.
