Labuan to Kota Kinabalu.... Enjoying myself.....

Hi... Hi.... Hi.. Again....

Just now I talked about the tripadvisor.com

Now I wanna share my story with all of you.


I went to Labuan with my parent with a mission to visit my sister, who just work there for about
2 months. So, we decided to surprise my sister, coincidentally it was my sister birthday. We told her that we unable to visit her, only my father will be there. So, our planned to surprise her has backfired, when she told us that she had bought ferry ticket to Kota Kinabalu with her friend. GREAT, at that time we have to tell her the truth, but until now she didn't realize the real story heheheh... UNLESS if she read this article.... :P


Above is the Labuan map. - Nothing there - Only my fav chocolate is cheaper (cheaper than The Zon in Johore)... :)

We stayed in Labuan only 1 1/2 days. At 7 p.m we took a ferry to Menumbok Sabah, and continue driving to Kota Kinabalu for about 2 hours.


- The Ferry -
















Day 1 - Sleeping activity - we arrived K.K at 12.00 a.m



Day 2






Having Breakfast - Dim Sum.... (My Fav)... :)













Shopping Time

Perdana Park













Free Water - Lake treated water

Trip planning....

Hi guys..

It's been a long time I haven't update my blog... It seems that the features of the blog itself has changed... and it took me about half an hour to search the dashboard.... hehehe...

Here I just wanna share with you guys,

If you plan to go somewhere else within Malaysia, why not make the tripadvisor.com as one of your references. At this moment, I really satisfied with the information provided in the tripadvisor.com.

I realize that, the website not only list well known hotels/ resorts/ places, but the new or unknown also included. Sometimes, there are places/ hotels/ resorts that we never heard of it before, but..... ITS THERE!!!!

Two of hotels that I refer were:-

1) B&S Boutique Hotel in Batu Pahat, Johor, Malaysia - We know Batu Pahat not have many hotels, therefore, we rely on the reviews and we booked the hotel. We really loves the interior of the hotel. It is simple and different than other hotel that we stayed before.

2) Hotel Sixty3 in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia - Actually we planned for cheaper hotel but comfortable, and I found the information about this new hotel - opened on Nov 2011. From the review and the rating, it gave me confidence towards the hotel. What most important for me, EVERYONE HAPPY!!!! :D

Whatever decision you made, Whatever plan you made for your vacation... I wish all of you... HAPPY VACATION!!!! HAVE A NICE TRIP...... :D

Bukit Merah Laketown Resort... Another family year vacation...


Salam and Hi Guys,

I just wanna share with you guys about our Chinese New Year vacation, which we had choose Bukit Merah Laketown Resort... Perak

I considered this vacation as a bit "stre
ssful vacation that we ever had"... Want to know why? Look at the picture below.... you'll understand what am I trying to tell...





A pic
ture is worth a thousand words... See it, believe it... hehehe... Seriously... I haven't been in this kind of traffic, unless if there is accident or any breakdown... This traffic cause by a lot of vehicle & I'm pretty sure it's part of the human behavior itself either...


Heading BMLR - took us about 5 hours

Went back + drop my sis at tronoh + dinner + short break = 12 hours on road

Anyway, we still enjoyed...


The marina village (considered as the heart of
bukit merah laketown)





The so called as Chinese new year arch...
SELAMAT DATANG - WELCOME











While waiting for others - really enjoyed seeing this kids playing with the fountain... :D - feels like joining them... hehehe...












Jetty to Pulau Orang Utan













Lets get into the boat... yeha!!!













Pulau orang utan jetty













The birth certificate of every orang utan that be given birth on this island










From orang utan island - back to marina village















Ecopark - where animals are gather (hehehe).. :D












Every part will have their own entrance - so the visitors may know what kind of park they are in...






Haunted House - the funny thing is that everyone seems to be overconfident before they enter the house, but when we looked at every people going out, everyone will holds their chest and make faces - hahaha - lucky me...








Skycycle - where you have to use your hand in order to make the thing move - its a bit tiring but really fun and build muscle - hahaha....










Waterpark - they call this attraction as wet bubble - fun but tiring









The boomerang - hmm.. I have no guts at that time - anyway my brother and brother-in-law tried it and guess what - they scream - but they tried it more that once - so it must be interesting isn't it... :P








The chairlift above - actually crossover the waterpark, so that we can see the scenery from up there







Overall we had fun, but we really hope that the management can do something in order to improve their facilities and the parks... the park that we really satisfied is the Pulau orang utan - we can see the improvement, compared to the last 10 years...




Ok guys see ya on the next post... salam and bye bye... :)

Year End Holiday...



Salam and Hi....

I've just got back from gambang, pahang.... It's fun!!!! really enjoyed our holiday...the hotel, the environment, the water park and other additional activities...

On the 1st day - looking around.... the hotel facilities, the waterpark (from the outside) - took tram, went to mini fun fair (FUN!!!) and karaoke (FUN!!!)

2nd day - waterpark activities (its raining the whole day (drizzling)) - still have fun!!!... Gain crazy experience (the 6 lane - head first) - twice... but scared with its glacier river, especially in the cave of 'journey of ice' - dark and unexpected water spray (panic attack for a while)... hahahah....

3rd day - jungle farm (small but really makes my nephew happy), shopping (souvenir), target shooting paint ball.... went back.....

Some area meet the expectation, some above expectation and some below expectation.... still need improvement if wanna beat sunway and afamosa... heheheh....

Food cheap... taste - a bit dissapointed, variety - okay.....

At first we taught to go somewhere else if the place is boring... but its really enjoyable.... but don't expect too much... give them some time to keep improve.... they still new.... :)
