This my first time, I travel to Kota Kinabalu (KK) early this month, June 08, while I having my off period from work. As I off every 2 weeks from my duties. So I take this opportunities to travel to KK with my girlfriend - Yen Ling, her mum (future mother-in-law). Since they was involved in SGM program for this year Sabah Charity Cultural Show 08, which was organized by SGM Sabah ( www.sgm.org.my ). So my Yen Ling is one of the leader for the youth and as a faithful boyfriend, I need to give her support during her duties in Charity Cultural Show, like give her morale support, and be her driver. So the journey start on the June 3, 08 early morning, abt 7.30am by RoRo ferry from Labuan town to Menumbok, abt 2 hrs in ferry. Only after that you can reach Menumbok, and then journey for another 2-3 hrs to reach KK city. Something happen immediately i reach Menumbok, which I got into wrong junction and goes straight to Menumbok town. hahaha...
At KK city I stay at cheap Inn near the city area, near Bandaran area. Cheap traveller like me can spent RM50 per nite for a room. But not bad at all. At least got hot shower, TV and air-con. Well, moset of my day, spend on window shopping, go sight seeing like Penampang and Bundusan area. By Yen Ling stay at USM hostel. She have to check-in there as one of the requirement by their SGM group. I also worry about her staying there. (I will blog other times why I worry about Yen Ling) But managed to visit her every day at USM.
I was staying in KK for about 5 days i.e. June 3 - 8. But the Sabah Cultural Charity Show is on 6 & 7 June 08. So it took me time to go to KK City and visit around the city. It was my first time travel to the city by own car - blue proton iswara - hahaha. Well visit some of the shopping complexes like Merderka Plaza, Karamunsing Plaza, Sabah Muzium, Central Point, City Mall, and the lastest is 1Borneo, the biggest shopping complex in Sabah. But the way, once reach KK, received a bad news, mostly will effected everyone, increase of petrol for 40%! So, on the June 4, evening I go straight to the nearest Shell to fill my petrol.
It was June 6, Sabah Charity Cultural Show 2008, morning when to USM to bring Yen Ling & her friend to USM Chancellor Hall for preparation. Since it was going to be an opening night, so need to prepared early. But afternoon I when to see movie at 1Borneo, the first day and openning of the GSC cinema. Well the place was big and can accommodate about 1000 plus people. I watch the Kung Fu panda alone. But I still prefer to watch with Yen Ling. at least I can hold her hand. That evening, I went to the Sabah Charity Cultral Show at USM. The show was great and I guest all the performers and those involved must be credited for all the effort done on that nite. Tumb up for them. But pity my Yen Ling during the show. Look at her so tired that night. But that nite she was so beautiful, with her make-up and hair style done to her. Pity din take picture of her that nite. But she was busy with her duties. I guest the next time she will look very pretty with her make-up is on our wedding day. This time must take photo one.
This is the picture I took at the end of show. I was sitting at the middle of the hall.But on the following day, lucky Yen Ling din´t participate for the cultural show, coz she was not feeling well that day. Lucky she din´t sleep at the hostel, otherwise I will be worry about her. So managed to get her sleep in the hotel for the nite. Cos the next morning, need to travel early to Menumbok to reach the ferry before 10.30am.
I plan for the next trip to KK again with My Yen Ling. But have to wait until she pass her driving license this month. So at least 2 drivers is better.
p.s. above some of the picture to share with.
