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

Kota Kinabalu Trip 2010: Manukan

Hey people, I'm back and typing again! Many happenings lately but, let's put that aside and talk about the Kota Kinabalu trip I just came back from :D

The highlight has got to be the trip to the island, Manukan. Was sooo looking forward to it.

The girls I went with :))

Departed from the beautiful Sutera Harbor

wheee

the islands were so beauuutiful *heart* Like nothing I've ever seen before, maybe because I've never been to any before this T.T Well, actually I did go to Manukan like about 10 years back but I remember nothing but a few fishes in the clear water. Lol, so not worth it to bring kids on holidays because they won't appreciate it till a certain age I think >_<.

Oh yeah we definitely tried that. However, snorkeling there was rather uncomfortable. The moment our whole body was dipped into the water, there's some tiny invisible creatures in the water that kept stinging us like needle pricks, at first it hurts, then it becomes itchy. Annoying to the max. After a while we couldn't stand it anymore and got outta the water to do other activities. So before renting the snorkels, I suggest you guys test the water out first ;)

Omg, I've always wanted to hang on a parachute when I was younger but as I grew older, fear and love for life kinda made me a coward and the images of jumping off a plane in the middle of the sky and opening my own parachute just made it all a biggg NoNO. 

However~~~~ Parasailing was one of the closest and fawesomest way I got on a parachute!!! :DDD It is perfectly safe and comfy, and I don't feel it's a wee bit life threatening at all.. And the view up there was just spectacular. I shouted my lungs out at the water, islands and mountains in the distance, oh the relief!!! :)). And you can even ask them to lower you so you can brush your feet on the water sometimes which is just sooo funnn :DD.. That's definitely one activity to try for like around RM100 only.

Afterthat, all 5 of us hopped on a wooden island in the middle of the sea to JET SKIII!!! :D But the island was rather err floaty, got a bit seasick.

That's me resting my mind, and eyes, while being laughed at by the "sweeetest" people around me. >_<. lol.

On the jet ski! :D

After the skiing while waiting for the others, we were allowed to just jump off the boat and dip into the sea. But I must warn you to close your mouth, nose and eyes real tight before jumping. Because if the salt water gets into either one of these 3 organs, it would BURRNNN >_<. Seriously, the water is SOOO salty!!! Eyes and nose suffered lol, and the mouth, omg, the salt, omg, yucckkk lol. Water looks blue and clean but it still is the sea = SALTY. lol.

Judy was lucky enough to maneuver the boat for like 1 minute loll..

Oh yeah, sitting at the tip of the boat letting the angry wind slap your face awake is the best feeling ever.

Got back to shore and Judy continued her snorkeling while the rest of us cam-hoed all the way muahaha Facebook is partially proof :p

♥

hehe

♥♥

The classic beach jump (attempt)

K.K

The tide is high~ and we're sitting on the water :D

And that would be the end of our fawesome experience! That would be my first time snorkeling, para-sailing and jet skiing. Whee~

More stuff bout KK coming up soon :D

Tray Cafe, Shrek & Sunday

Tray Cafe has been around for quite some time now I believe... Never really been there because of it's location. It's opened right beside the Zhen Hao opposite Grappa. A place where I wouldn't have expected such a beautiful cafe to be opened at.

But when we stepped in, we were mesmerized by it's cozy, relaxing and very beautiful ambiance. Me and my friends immediately had a great feeling bout the place. Therefore we started to camwhore wtf 

Three of us girls shared this combo plate (I think that's what it's called) which costs RM32 I think >_<.

Cheese bread or garlic cheese bread or garlic bread.. Sorry I'm not very sure because my friend ordered it  but that's what it taste like. 

The mushroom soup was good. Thick and tasty. Made pizza hut taste like water >_<. Overall we loved Tray and would so go back soon.

Talk about pizza, I so feel like puking right now which my friend just did not too long ago. Lol. Not easy for us 3 tiny girls(heh) to stuff down 4 big slices of pizza with lava cheese, 1 and 1/3 bowl of mushroom soup and garlic bread and 2 cups of cola. omg just thinking bout it makes me sick. Plus the 2 drum sticks and rice and coke again which I had for lunch :S~

Neways, after Tray we went to chatch Shrek The Final Chapter

To me, the movie was only alright. Still love the first few  movies which was a hundred times funnier and more entertaining. We watched it in 3D summore. Kind of a waste.

Had to take these lanterns that night outside Spring because it was pretty. Picture don't do justice.

After that, me n the girls went for a drink at Toast Bar at Brighton Square which was alright too. Damn not gonna talk bout food nemore, can't stand it.

Then we ended the day with almost an hour walk at Friendship Park. Also kind of like a cam whore session for us. FunNess hehe. How can we ever get bored with a camera & youth hahahaha.

Clear skies *heart*

And picture of the night. TOok this on timer. Pro right? Thank you. :p

That's all fer now. 

Conclusion, Tray= good. Shrek= not so good. Toast Bar= Not bad. Friendship Park= Best.
