Malaya Dalam Genggaman

Alhamdulillah.. Akhirnya Malaya berada dalam genggaman.. *Read: Dah habis pusing satu Malaysia=) hehe....

Semua negeri dah jejak dan petang tadi jam 4.30 ptg baru kembali dari negeri terakhir yang dijejak, negeri SABAH di Bawah Bayu.. Pergi untuk tujuan kerja, makanya, memang tak sempat untuk pusing satu negeri. Lain kali harus pergi lagi untuk cuti-cuti Malaysia!

Sabah atau khusunya Kota Kinabalu (KK) - the state capital, memang banyak tarikan. Among the attractions are the food, (seafood and Puding Kelapa), Pearls (Bracelets, Necklaces, Butang Baju Melayu, Brooches and what not), the beautiful islands - Semporna, Sipadan, Mabul and of course Mount Kinabalu - The highest peak in Malaysia.

Ketammmm!

Thank You Pn Harlina and Husband
Penaja dinner ..makan sampai lobamm!!

Udang lompat-lompat nak suh makan dia!

Untuk orang Semenanjung yang pergi sana dan tak ada transport, memang kena sedia duit lebih sikit untuk transportation. Fortunatey, since this is a company's trip, our officers in INTAN, Sabah has been very kind and helpful to bring us around KK and show us some good spots for food and shopping.

My dream has always been to go to the beautiful islands in Sabah and of course to Mount Kinabalu. Hasil borak-borak dengan our driver and from my own research, kalau nak pergi Pulau Semporna or Mabul or Sipadan, we have to take flight to Tawau and from there take boats to go the islands. And for Mount Kinabalu, of course Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) is the nearest airport.

According to the locals, kalau naik Kinabalu usually will take 2 days. Climbing will start in the evening, then spend a night at Laban Rata Resthouse (one of the station before arriving the peak) then continue hiking at about 3am in the morning to reach the peak just in time with sunrise.

Islands on the other hand are very well-known for their sandy beaches, crystal clear water and very good snorkeling spots. Kalau untuk handicrafts and souveniers, Pasar Philippine and pasar-pasar sekitar Sabah memang penuh dengan barangan buatan tempatan yang murah-murah and cantik.

Therefore for my next trip to Sabah, will definitely bring my family and In Laws together for a nice relaxing holiday. Oh! Kepada sesiapa yang ada kenal mana-mana tour guide or supir or locals yang boleh tolong bawak kami jalan-jalan with good price and service, please leave your comment ya! Thank you!!

See you soon!

OZ TRIP

Hello everyone! Sorry for the loooong silence. Been busy with wedding prep and office works lately.Last few months I was very fortunate to have been given the opportunity to go to Australia for a short business trip. Since i am still new and considered as young officer in this sector, to have been given this kind of opportunity is a Dream Come True.

Travelling with a fun team makes the overall trip SUPER FUN! We went to 4 states altogether starting with Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra then back to Sydney again. Australia was nice, cold and full of friendly people. I fell in love with almost everything there except the food. (Malaysia's food is still the best) My favorite part was during our visits to student's house. Our students can really COOK! Yeayy-hehe!We even get the chance to have picnic at their national park-(VERY NICEEE!!) and we were lucky since it was spring, we get to see blooming tulips at tulip's festival! (oh. i LOVE them all!)

Travelling is indeed one of the best way to chill and relax from our busy hectic schedule.From now on, let us set our target. When and Where to travel! Just like them!

So, here goes some shots taken during the trip. Enjoy the photos!
