Three families, One destination.

So, our family getaway this end of year is to Kota Kinabalu, the heart of Sabah.
And its not only our family of 4 this time but including my aunt's family and uncle john's.
12 in all.

beautiful sights along the way as usual, Mount kinabalu, nature parks, canopy walks, hot springs , seafood and beaches, laid-back. Time is in our hands.

the only thing about the whole trip is me still thinking bout studio and firmenich projects, the burdens are just bugging me. besides that, i was trying to have fun.

Anyway, pictures of relation here:

Departure, Day one, 26th nov 1015am
and yes, we flew there, because it takes bout 14 hours to get to KK by coach, so we flew there in 2 hours. convenient and the most important thing is, i get onboard a flight again.



Welcome to Kota Kinabalu!
Hotel we are residing in:

Aunts and Cousins.
the hotel room was pretty chic, shared it with sis.
thanks jo for that.toilet ambassadors.


yes there is disney channel!
we headed to the hypermall that was linked to our hotel for lunch.
and then we headed to the arcade, the kids seemed to love it there!
i had a wild time as well, just testing out my driving skills with daytona and motorbike races.
bbhoops got us going.


my cousin is freaking tall, he is 14 and he is already bout 170 or taller. and the little one is his sister.

Day 2, 0730
Morning skies as i drew the curtains.
The first signs of daylight long gone,
but the rays shone beyond the horizon, bringing forth the clouds.
Incredible sight.
Hearty breakfast, Hot tea.
Wisp of smoke, Warmth with every sip.


there we saw the wonder, Mount Kinabalu.
Had always wanted to scale that mountain, lets wait and see.






the real hot spring water from underneath.
Notice the smoke? its hot enough to boil eggs and cook maggie.




jo and me:]

mum, jo and dad !



and then we got to soak our legs in already diluted hot spring water!


the beautiful mothers who are probably more active in me in facebook .
the men! and jianheng at the back learning how to be like them.
Seafood at this restaurant in the heart of KK for 2 nights for dinner.
Cheap, good and fresh.
yes, it was way too fresh to this extent.
i was grossed out by these creatures in bottles. Fascinated but grossified.
How did they ever grow inside!
Day 3 1030am some beach near the airport. say hello to our little hermit crabby friend.
and say hello to my little cousin, who loves the beach as much as i do.
us and her!
mum being our model or was she just stoning and smiling to herself? :D
Last day before we head towards to the airport, 0930
Sunday market at KK
and off to KK Airport!




Appreciated the trip.

Thanks to the parents who made this possible. it lift things off my mind for a while.
