A short trip to KK


We are lucky we always have the time, money, energy and opportunity to go places at the last minute.  Like last weekend we decided to go to KK, only a few days allowance and on impulse we just went and spent the weekend in KK.  So its not like its a holiday of sort but more like a short break and not worth to mention in our holiday blog....

Its been almost 2 years we didnt go to KK so I guess its time and hubby always wanted to go to the seafood night market at Sinsuran and indulged on their seafood there.  Its so heavenly and we missed the cacah there, so mouth watering even now when I think about it, yumm... So thats our main attention, two nights of seafood indulgence and a bit of shopping thrown in in between. We  went to see a movie, as recommended by our daughter.  The movie was awesome!  Will blog about that in my next post.... Went to Gaya Market on sunday morning, visit the beach and Sinsuran market again. And we liked staying at the hotel too, our first time there and its not dissapointing.  Not too bad I must say.  I dont think many Bruneians know about this hotel although we did meet a few Bruneians families but its not like some other hotels where most Bruneians stay.  So its good.

We went to Suria Sabah for the first time too.  Hahaha.. I think the shopping mall has been around for quite a while but I dont know why we never set foot there before.  Its always 1Borneo... 1Borneo, where in fact there are still other shopping malls to go to.  Like Sabah Time Square.  See... we didnt go there as well, so it must be included in our agenda in our next visit.  Thats after the bridge is done which by schedule in August 2013.  Its time, it took almost 3 hours of queuing to go to Temburong, so very long queue.  But the journey back was shorter by 4 hours, no long queue... Alhamdulilah.

I didnt expect to go to KK until the bridge was done, thats my intention initially but I just changed my mind and went ahead.  And its been great!



Long queue at the border

 
 

Cant wait for this bridge to finish so we can cut down on the travelling time

Another cause for concern, look at all these rubbish, when are we going to learn?
