Kota Kinabalu Trip 2010: Night life

Okay! Freaking over due this post it. Oh no, Yoda influenced: Yoda recording for Tom Tom GPS.  swt.

So! Before going to KK, a friend of mine had told me I had to visit the clubs there. Because he went to B.E.D. and said it was very nice. Soooo~~~ off we went, clubbing. But we saved B.E.D for later. We checked out Ice Bar at 1Borneo on Friday night.

It was really pretty

Also really empty >_<.

But I'll give them an excuse, it's because the World Cup was going on. Everyone was right outside Ice Bar watching football in the big screen. Apparently the big screen was Ice Bar's too, so they didn't have any business problems I think.

Music was okay and all. But drinks were err...

Don't order Long Island Iced Tea there! It was disgusting. The taste was weird! It was bittery alright, but the bitter had no alcohol kick kind of bitter, it was just bad period.

The Tequila Sunrise however, was alright :D

RM90 for 2 jugs of cocktails

I lost my balance while doing this and fell on Cherling T_T

We left Ice Bar around 12 that night because it was getting depressing even though they had some activities going on like break dancing and game thingies, there were just too few people. We headed for B.E.D after that, which shall be shown later.

Saturday night, we checked out Times Square, KK. It's somewhat like Travillion in Kuching, only, way bigger and classier, and had tons more parking which are a hundred times well maintained, but er, not free la. RM2 per entry I think. Still cheap for decent parking right?

And the place was much nicer. It was big, spacious, lotsa youngsters and coughChinesecough. There were quite a number of clubs and karaoke bars there, including some with very familiar names like:

Emperor!

The Curve?! which was not very big haha.

And many more clubs. They were all pretty and very modern, most of them has 2 stories, but some were a little... under-occupied, if you know what I mean. Okay, I mean, there were a lot of clubs there, but they were not all filled with people. One of my friends tried and simply opened one door of a club and saw the most depressing sight ever and immediately closed the door HAHA. There were only 2 people in the club. D:

Anyway, our main visit to Times Square was actually to checkout Firefly. It was introduced by one of our friends. Which we later found out to be another friend's uncle's place. Coolness.

Now that place was happening! A Philippino band (I think) was playing and they were fawesome! They kept on singing all the most modern, mainstream clubbing music non-stop, they made DJs look bad >_<. The club was packed and young adults were dancing to the music, drinking and having fun the whole night through. Oh the place was quite pretty too hehe. Too bad we didn't know about the place earlier. It was so packed that we had to stand and drink at a corner for a while :( So, that is one place to party if you visit KK :D

Us with one of the singers from the live band. She's so nice and friendly. Kept taking pictures with us until we were satisfied lol.

After the band left, we got bored and headed to B.E.D. AGAIN! hehehe. Not to sleep. >_<. It stands for Best Entertainment Destination :D.

My friend was right, it was BIG. And still full of people at 1am something. Only that the live band left already so, couldn't experience it's awesomeness like in Firefly heh.

This was Friday night @ B.E.D.

Saturday night @ B.E.D

See how high the roof is? This is one corner. There's the bar in the middle where all the bottles are. And also a hugeee screen for football fans to stare at.

This is another corner, the stage side.

And the Bed Room haha. V.I.P room I guess?

And after our 2 very exhausting days and late nights out, we literally head home to bed.

Overall, KK's night life was pretty good if you go to the right places. But I do recommend Firefly and B.E.D, judging by the amount of people there, they seem to be the more popular places. :D

Le Stout & freebies

The Guinness Stout. I have only recently tried it recently though I always see Kennysia blogging bout it like all the time. To me, it's, like, beer. Only with a more herbal-ly taste to it. Which makes it a lil' bit harder to drink. I think it's an acquired taste. Still, I prefer the ordinary beer. >_<.

On another note, since it was the football season, we've been getting lotsa kinds of freebies from all them beer companies which include:

Beer bottle opener from Heineken

Leather key chain from Guinness

And weird looking guy from Tiger

Got them all last month. Don't know if it's still available since football is over. It is right? I mean, I hear the Chelsea song being played in the radio like everyday cos they won or smthn. Haha

Anyways, not in the greatest mood today. I'll be missing yewww ♥ 

tata. xoxo

Le Weekends

Me brother and I. On the way to church Saturday evening. Awh he's getting more and more handsome isn't he Sharon?

This was the bartender and Cottage's specialty cocktail. Cottage Swing I think. It's orangey. Sweet but ofcourse a bit bitter. I think it's a bit like Screwdriver. hehe

Pina Colada. I like!!! (don't know why blogger made the two cocktail pictures are so flat. The glasses are actually quite long.. hmm)

Like this guy too. lol.

Also went to check out Piccadillys which is bigger now and quite pretty inside.

And also the upstairs of Soho to look for Ade. Looks so VIP, so, upper class house party style. With cute angmo DJ lol.

Sunday! There was this Go Kart Demo thingy at Hills.

Don't know if you can spot number 12. He's damn fast. According to the guys, the kart had gears.. wooo~ Which poisoned boyfie more /.\

Bright day, good weather, lotsa people.

Kekeke.. he's so tall! ANyway, was trying to stand all the pollution from the karts. Smelled awful.

So that's practically the weekends. Couple of drinks on Saturdays. And hanging out wherever's got something going on on Sundays. Or just another movie. That's Kuching  weekends for ya.

Oh!! Just found this in my Fashion TV long sleeved large turtle neck shirt that Sunday... wtf

Yeah, I Love Fashion alright!

Oh yeah, just watch A Walk To Remember last night. Darn! I know the whole world watched it already, cos Agnes kept reminding me. But, I didn't have much access to movies when I was younger ok!.. Strict student life then ok! >_<. bleh. I think it's a typical Korean love story kinda movie where some young people in love gets sick and dies. But still cried through it anyway /.\ (damn Shane was hot)

And that sweet romantic stuff the guy did for the dying girlfriend.. Sigh, sad to say, or even think that all that never lasts. A guy would normally just be really sweet and romantic for the first few months, making all the girls fantasies come true.. Then, after all that and the relationship becomes stable, things would either be boring because no one does sweet stuff for each other anymore, or people take each other for granted, or, it could even turn out to be a nightmare. Why can't anything last in this world. T.T lol.

Anyway, I am happy and grateful that my relationship is stable and sometimes sweet lol eventhough it ain't as touching as the movies, lol. But I guess, as long as two people are happy with each other,  love and trust each other, don't step over each other nor be so particular about every little thing, and give and take and be honest with each other, and appreciate each other in everyway, a relationship can be quite peaceful, even, enjoyable ^^.

The Cottage part 2

Back to The Cottage on Saturday night... and it was pretty damn FUN. People of all ages can be found in that tiny pub. From people in their 20s to 60s. I believe everyone had a pretty good time :)

A live band was invited to perform throughout the night. They started with slow songs in the first session, and then in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th session, they brought up the beat and rocked everyone off their seats :D Yeap, they were pretty good. They sang quite alot of interesting songs from the 80s, 90s, a few chinese songs and lotsa songs us 'younger ones' like to hear :D Some of them are, PussycatDoll's Hush Hush, Lady Gaga's Poker Face, Eh Eh, Shakira's Hips don't lie (i think), Whine Up and many moree! Got half the room dancing.

Think they might still be playing next Saturday. Will confirm :D

 Yeah~ Yi Hong opened this awesome drink. ZEN Green Tea Liquor. It tastes totally like green tea. Just with alcohol. A bit too sweet for my preference though. If you guys like Midori, you would like this ;). I tried this mixed with plain water, it tasted exactly like package green tea. Lol. I also tried it with beer and it was pretty good in a bitter sweet way. :D

 

As you can see, the cocktail bar is full of people, and so was the rest of the pub. It was pretty packed with people of all ages.

 

The main bar.

 

Me and SS!

 

Dy Dy is back!

 

Me and the both of them. :)

My little Hennie was getting pretty red  haha.

 
 

Lol Viki with the live band behind him.

 

A guest singer which is a friend of the band's went up and started singing, "I will survive~!" She was quite good and got the crowd very entertained.

 

This boy was emo due to some confidential reasons LOL. Toldja he gets emotional when he's tipsy >_<.

EmoNess

 

Guest guitarist from the crowd. Damn, feels like a friend of dad's >_<.

 

Flowers at the bar. It was 2am something and they were closing.

 

And someone was wasted. HAHA. But I like this pic. I find it rather artistic lol.

 

Anyone to take the homeless drunk with them?

Mission Accomplished! 

Had a really fun night at The Cottage eventhough it doesn't have a modern clubbing scene with youngesters and all. It was the music, the atmosphere and the people that made it awesome.

On other nights, they may play slower music, but I bet it'll be a pretty nice place to drink and just chillax. :)

Nights guys.
