Kota Kinabaru Trip! =)

My last holiday in 2007 was the wonderfully fun trip to Kota Kinabaru. Took a early morning flight to Sabah, followed by a flight transfer to our prettily designed hotel, which is right in the city heart! After which, we took a walk around the city of Kota Kinabaru and had our breakfast at this coffee shop that sells pork! hahx I thought i will never see such a store in malaysia. In the afternoon, we went to this river to find monkeys! unfortunately, the rain was pretty bad and we couldn't see much. Luckily for us, the monkeys still decided to stay out and let us watch them. hahaax. however, the rain deterred us from watching the fireflies. =(
On the second day, we went to do water rafting! yeahhhhhhh! it was great fun! hahhx, and i got pushed into the water twice. =( evil water-rafting guide. And we went to the shopping centre and played arcade! hahhaax we sorta won lots of tickets but in the end didn't redeem anything for the day.
Third day. we went to climb mount kota kinabaru. It was another fun trip! Got to see the different species of plants, which was a total eye opener! We saw the smallest orchid found!!!! yeahhhhhhh! And we went to the tree canopy walk thing, where we walked on the hanging bridges in the middle of the forest! However, we didn't get to go for hot spring cz there were too many ppl. =(
Fourth day. A TOTALLY WONDERFUL DAY AT THE ISLANDS OFFSHORE! hahax we were sooooo lucky and honoured to be able to go to such pretty islands and view such pretty fishes!!! The sea was clear and blue, with beautiful fishes in the water swimmiing lazily around. Our tour guide bought two big packs of bread crumbs for us to feed the fishes with! hee and the fishes crowded ard the feeding area. pretty viewww! After which, we headed for the seocnd island, where we snorkelled around the corals to look at the different species of fishes in the water. Bringing along a bottle of bread crumbs each, the fishes followed us as we dropped food into the water. heex. By the afternoon, we were quite tired so me and nix just took bottles of bread crumbs and stood on the stones and fed the fishes around us. hee and the fishes began nibbling on nix legs. haha it mus be due to the hair on his leg. hahax and they have misunderstood it for food. =X
Fifth day. We went to this adventure park and spent the rest of our day in sabah there before heading for the airport. First, we played the kayak, where my kayak capsized twice. =( but it was still great fun riding against the waves! yeahh! Then we played the flying fox which was not as fast as expected, but climbing up to take the flying fox was damn scary! we also played mini golf which i lost badly. hahahaxx.. yeah and we onli managed to do this among of things on the last day.
