Here's a scene captured from plane before landing

Had seafood for dinner as Sabah is famous for it and that 'lobster-like' prawns were throat cutting! Rm 200 for two =_='



And this is taken from our hotel room. We stayed in Shangri-la, which could be easily passsed on as a 4-star hotel, contrary to my mom's believe to be only 3-star

One of the streets in Kota Kinabalu

Scenic views from the observatory tower on 'Bukit Bendera'




What I liked most about the sleeping Buddha is the close resemblance to a live human, you might not notice it in the picture but trust me, it's really real when you take a closer look on the spot

Oh, and how was I supposed to forget that we were so lucky to catch the one and only 'floating bookshop' that harbored at the port of Kota Kinabalu. I've been wanting to visit this ship which is 2 years younger than the 'Titanic' for quite awhile and walah! Lucky lucky me! First spotted this when we were crusing along the coastal area at night after our 1st dinner and although I'm not a Christian, I 'm still glad that I was able to step on this decade-old ship. The lady ship is called 'Doulos' and the whole concept of floating bookstore came about by a group of Christians and believe it or not, all the workers on board are actually volunteers! how wonderful is that! I f I'm not mistaken, the next stop would be at Pasir Gudang and this lady only stop for less than a month.

Inside the ship




Not to forget Tanjung Aru. The waves and the wind was truly a breathtaking one! You could actually fall asleep by just letting the wind feather across your body and it's not like those typical breeze but a strong one I would say and it never stopped not even until we left.


Ok, my mom said this fella looked like a gangster =_=' gangsters don't really smile while taking a pic, do they??




This could seemed motionless but if you're there, it's totally different



Ah, and this is the Filipino market and it was fascinating to see how these people are becoming more and more like people here as they could initially sell their products at a rocket high price like RM 69 and then once you bargain, it could drop to RM 20 =_=' but at least, it's something different from what we got here. There's still a sense of locality unlike the Petaling Street back here which is flooded by immigrants...




This was an unforgettable spot to me. It's known as 'PortView' by most tourists and there's this row of restaurants, bars and cafes along the whole stretch of extended plane towards the coastal line, so you could imagine that this plane is actually standing on the South China Sea =D


Yeap! That's me with the salted fish! XD haha

Imagine this. Plane standing right beside the ocean + a jar of brewed beer + sea breeze = Heavenly indulgence XD
