Visit to Kota Kinabalu

It was raining when we reached Kota Kinabalu. It was Friday, 25 July 2008, 10.00 p.m. Haziq was so excited throughout since it was his first time flight experience. I've informed my brother, Helmi that we only to be staying for only 6 days. Well.... it was a short break. It wasn't really a planned vacation. Helmi's wife just give birth and the baby is almost a month's old, and mak couldn't wait to see the newborn. Heidi, that's her name.

For me it was my first experience taking the Air Asia. I don't really like it. I prefer MAS. However the flight fare for MAS is too expensive and we couldn't spend more than what is necessary. For 3 people, we spent about RM800++, which is still reasonable.

The next day we went to Tanjung Aru. It was really windy, I think you can really surf! Haha.... Ombak actually tak cukup besar untuk surfing.

On Sunday, it was quite hot. We went to Karambunai to see the beach. Wow!!! It was beautiful. I was told that the waves are much bigger than the one in Tanjung Aru. I can see a lot of Mat Sallehs... am sure they do surf.... not so much of big wave eh???!!!

The very next day, I went out with mak and Helmi to the market. We dropped by at the Pasar Kraftangan. Spent a lot on souveniers (...is it the correct spelling? "souvenier".... dont bother to check the spelling). Later, I went out with Ar. Mahmud Nazmi and we visited Universiti Malaysia Sabah. I was amazed by the way the students behave.... wow.... the men wear ties to class (just like students in UUM) and they all look so innocent!

Overall it was quite an experience and a nice short holiday!
