Kota Kinabalu 12-16 Nov 2010

I am back from KK Trip!!!
I NEED to blog about this because this is the first time that I traveled alone. *Pats self* ^.^ Okla, i cheated. The first few days i spent to attend friends wedding. So i was only solo for 2.5 days. No big deal, but how many people can do that?? Can you can you? *pats self again*

Self achievements:
1. Slept in dorm, with common bathroom and toilet. (Was lucky because night 1, there were only 3 person in that dorm, night 2 no one checked into the dorm woot!)

2. Took local minivan to Kinabalu Park. RM15 for 1.5 hours ride. Departs when van is fully loaded. (Was a little hesistant at first, because I planned to take a tour package, but local should do the locals way hehehe.. Was lucky because driver offered the front seat, means no squeezing at the back of van risking any hanky panky. Driver was a very friendly guy that I was a little worried whe he was after, but nope I was wrong. There are still nice people around ^.^)


3. Tried to talk to people. (Easy one! Because I got sick of not speaking for whole day and I was afraid my mouth will stinks if I don't speak. I talk to Locals, Japanese Girl, Deutch Lady, UK man, American teens, Australian couple, HK family, and even a Russian Girl. But i think i can do better!)


4. Ate local food. Alone T.T(Alone means no share share food. But anyhow, I tried San Yuk Mee, BKT, Pasar nasi lemak and kuih, Kopitiam breakfast and street malay seafood. No big deal because I am already used to dining alone, just that unable to sample more food)


5. Went to island to chill.


Cons:
1. Unable to visit Poring Hotspring and Kundasang
2. Not enough of seafood diiner (But lucky there was a night Slow brought me to join her family, tasted steam siput V-.-)
3. Missed my big group travelling because i can't laugh out loud to myself :(
4. No one i can ask to hold my bags when i go pee-pee :P

Discoveries:
1. KK sunset at 5.56pm. By 6.30pm i was always rushing want to go back to dorm because i scare dunno what..


2. Pomelo in KK is cheap. The driver told me it was sold RM1 per piece in surban OMG my fav fruit

3. I met a Japanese girl who share the same birthdate as mine. OMGWTFBBQICANDIENOW, what a coincidence *still damn hyper*
