Departed HK International Airport on MAS Boeing 737 plane.The trip was boring since there was no in-flight entertainment. I was pretty excited since I didn't know what to expect in KK... sounds a pretty ulu place.. anyway.. the light meal on the plane was.. average.. had sweet and sour fish. After about 2.5 hrs (entire flight takes about 2hr 55mins), I could see Sabah already, alittle while
more and i see Mt. Kinabalu (highest pt in SE Asia, 4089m) waHHH excited!! wanna snap more pic.. and the next thing i knew? my camera is out of batt!! AHHHH.. oh well.. while landing.. realise the place is super green, the sea is filled with fishing boats (small tiny ones) instead of cargo ships i see in sg/hk. while landing, saw this dude cycling by the border of the airport, right next to the sea.. waHH.. like that also can... while moving towards the airport, saw some realli kampung houses along the runway.. then i went like.. "HUH.. realli SO ULU ah..." abit scared liao. got down frm the plane.. erhhh. DIE. i cannot understand wad the signs read.. all in Malay, the english bit is SO SMALL..
a very small airport indeed.. next.. immigration.. waH die. forgot what's derek's address.. oh no.. don't know how to fill in the part on the immigration card.. oh well.. jus smiled at the officer till he let me thru.. (took like 10mins to get pass immigration).. then go collect luggage.. AH. WAD!?! only got 2 luggage belt. ok.. small... too bad camera went out of batt or else i sure take photo...
got out of the airport, and waited for derek to pick me up.. hrmm.. no one here yet.. so decided to use the m'sia sim card that he left for me while he was in sg.. WAD. the sim card doesn't work.. OMG luckily i've got my singtel simcard to do the roaming.. found him eventually and he reached in about 5mins.. he was driving.. abit scary n weird. ahhaha.. not use to it... his sister and his mom was in the car as well.. and they were introducing KK to me.. both seemed very
frenly... realise that KK has NO TALL BUILDINGS.. so not use to it.. trees and the sky is like everywhere.. buildins are abit scattered and rather short compared to wad i use to see in HK/sg
they brought me to this Tanjong Aru Seafood Restaurant, which is right next to the sea (well actually KK, the whole city is along the coastline.. so this is like super common la), and had dinner there. they use different kind of appetiser compared to sg.. not jus peanuts.. it's like.. cucumber n some fried nuts.. also they use this kinda weird sauce to eat, ginger and soy sauce.
after dinner, his mom drove us to meet his frens at Shalim (area with eateries that open till super late, n where his frens usually hang out).
after awhile of chattin, some of his frens left while the ones that remained and Derek was wondering where to go so at the end decided that they wanna bring me to Sutera Harbour (where it consist of 3 hotels, Pan Pacific, Sutera, Magellan).. walked ard.. cldn't see much since it's dark already... n snapped some pic, played at the playgrd, and went to the hotel's beach, it's very small, but can already see that the water is like super clear.. wAHHH.. after awhile, we decided to head home...
PS as introed by Derek's sis, along the roads of KK, u will find tons and tons of telecom ads and alot of graveyards that is catergorised by race. n no, KK pple do not all live in the kampung hses i saw, KK pple mostly live in hses that look similar to those terrace, semi-d u see in sg, the kampung hses are mostly occupied by the illegal immigrants frm philippines.
