A Week Before Christmas 2012 (Part 3)

Hi friends and readers, I'm back for the part 3. Have a beautiful Tuesday ya!

The next day, I woke up very early as I need to send my aunty and her daughters to the airport, together with my mom. Everybody look very quiet and emotional as today will be the last day for us, but I'm very happy and thankful to my mom for sponsored the whole trip to Sarawak (Will blog about it later) and KK as well. Otherwise, I don't know when will I have a chance to meet my aunty and her family.

While waiting for the taxi

 

Once we arrived at the airport I couldn't hold my tears anymore. It was hard to say goodbye after we've been together for almost a month since 8th Nov 2012. Gonna miss them all!

After their flight departure, mom and I went to Asian Delight Cafe for breakfast. 

Green Tea & Tuna Sandwich

Mom is having Nasi Lemak but the the taste is awful. So, she insisted to go to other place for breakfast. However, not much choice at Air Asia Airport. The only place to eat is KFC. So, I'm having my second round of breakfast on that day :p

I'm still full, so I just drank the tea and take away the rest back to hotel. Mom is having Chicken Porridge but she said, McDonald's porridge taste better than KFC...ha...ha...oh mom! After breakfast, we went back to hotel and continue packing while hubby and kids went out for breakfast themselves at McDonald. Kids got free gifts from McDonald.

Tooth Fairy & Sandman

After checked out from the hotel, I went to Centrepoint again with my mom and kids. Hubby need to go to Damai Specialist for his medical review. So, while waiting for the movie (Sepah The Movie), we went for some drinks at Starbucks, Palm Square.

Red Velvet & Hazelnut Hot Chocolate

5 minutes ride!

After movie, we decided to go to Wisma Merdeka by a taxi. Nothing much to see in Wisma Merdeka, as it's an old building but for kids' wear, I prefer to buy it at Tong's. Luckily hubby arrived there on time for lunch as we're all starving. I like the food court there, quite clean and lots of choices.

After lunch, we went to my younger sister's house at Country Heights Apartment. We supposed to overnight stay there but then hubby decided to stay for 2N as he got something else to do the next day. Anyway, I'm happy to meet my nephews and my only niece. Everybody is very tired to go out, so we just stayed at home and have BBQ Chicken Wings for dinner.

The next morning, I went out to Megalong (The longest mall in Sabah) with my mom and kids as hubby got something to do on his own. Then hubby came and we have our lunch at Ho Ho Bento. I really like this place and what a surprised! I met my ex schoolmate from my hometown.

My fav, Beef Teriyaki Bento

After lunch, we went to Servay Penampang for another Christmas shopping and hubby bought a pair of shirts for me and him. Not forgetting our kids' shoes for school. We went back home and get some rest.

Later that night, my younger sister brought us for dinner at Sailor's Cafe (Thanks for the treat sis and Ez). I really enjoyed the food and the ambiance there.

I know...I gained weight :D

After dinner, we went for 'Jalan-jalan' at Tanjung Aru Beach. An hour later, we went back home.

The next morning, my another younger sister's boyfriend came to apartment. He wanted to treat us dimsum for breakfast (Thanks for the treat Aken).

After breakfast, we went back directly to Keningau. Sayonara KK!

Holidays & Wedding Invitation (Day 3 & 4)

On the third day morning (19th Aug 2012), we have our breakfast at the hotel's restaurant, Golden Dew Bistro. It was totally full with Japanese tourist. We have to wait in line but then I saw someone familiar. He was Stanley Jilang, my long lost contact friend. He's also my church member, my siblings' friend cum ex schoolmate. He helped us to find a table for 4 people just in few minutes :)

After breakfast, we went to visit all my in laws families at their rooms. Then, we packed our luggages and checked out earlier as we decided to visit another places.

Actually, 19th Aug is also the first day of Raya for Muslims. I got Raya invitations from my friends in KK, but only on the third day of Raya, but then I'll be in Keningau at that time already. So, hubby and I decided to go to Tamparuli, to visit the Upside Down House of Borneo (Rumah Terbalik).

Registration counter

The entrance free for adult is RM10 and RM5 for children below 12 years old. However, visitor aren't allowed to take photo inside the house or you'll be fined RM100 for each photo/video.

It was quite sunny on that day, but luckily got cafe at the back of the upside down house. You may visit their souvenir shop too. I bought one fridge magnet for myself.

Can't stand the heat. We need some refreshment ;p

By the way, I like their public toilet. Very clean!

Without wasting any time, we proceed to Tuaran Crocodile Farm. Entrance fee for adult is also RM10 and RM5 for children below 12 years old.

Kids are excited to sit on the replica!

You may also take photo with alive crocodile, but you have to pay RM2. I'm not dare at all, so I asked my kids to feed the fishes.

Then we are gathered to watch the crocodile performance.

Kadazan dance with crocodile

Scary!

 You may feed other animals there, such as ducks, chicken and even crocodile itself!

You may visit their souvenir shop too and if you dare to eat the crocodile's egg and meat, then you may buy and try it!

Kids fell asleep on the way back to KK. I decided to have our late lunch at Burger King (BK). It was my first time having BK's meals, but it wasn't bad at all. I like the fried onion ring!

After that, we proceed to my hubby's hometown in Papar. We are very tired and not in the mood for photo session at all, but I managed to take one photo of my kids with their cousin during the second wedding reception dinner, but only among family members.

With Brandon

The next night of 20th Aug 2012, we also went to my sister in law's house for another family dinner. Guess what? KFC for dinner...hmmm...always be my favorite (^_^)

The next, next morning of 21st Aug 2012, we went back to Keningau. 5D/4N stay in KK and Papar, and I really had good times with my family. Thanks for the holiday trip hubby!

Holidays & Wedding Invitation (Day 2)

The next morning (18th Aug 2012), we decided to have our breakfast outside at one of the local Chinese restaurant nearby the hotel. Then we checked out and proceed to another hotel in town. Arrived few minutes later at Ming Garden Hotel & Residences.

After an hour there, we brought our kids for 'Jalan-Jalan Cuci Mata' (JJCM) to Karamunsing Complex. I'm so happy to eat my favorite, GCB (Grilled Chicken Burger) at McDonald. Too much of eating during holidays. Luckily I didn't put on weight :p

GCB for my 2nd lunch :p

Then, we went back to hotel, met my in laws families and get some rest. I decided last minute to be make up by Fiona. I'm very satisfied with her job and I only need to pay her RM50. I was the last person to be make up, so I'm a bit late to the wedding reception with hubby and kids.
