Back to KK Again!!

Right after I came back from Damai with my "posse", I flew off to Kota Kinabalu with Badaq, my aunt (Mimi) and my Ah-Maa the very next day. It was more fun than what I had anticipated what with Badaq and I bullying Mimi to the max and making faces when the queen nagged or grumbled about something that does not concern her at all family bonding and stuff. This was a 4 days and 4 nights trip, so this might be a long post. Fret not, I will break it down into its relevant categories before someone accuses me of being too long and winding in each and every single one of my post. yes, you know who you are....

ABOUT KK...
KK is actually a nice place to go to. It is actually more interesting than Kuching *gasps* as it has alot more to offer in terms of branded stores, branches of famous restaurants and a breath-taking view of nature (the ocean and mountains). Heck, they even have the SEA by the roadside, and it is not even anywhere near the outskirts of KK, but is super close to town!! *woe kuching, what do YOU have??? a filthy river!!* (ok ok I'm not actually being fair, geographically speaking, as Kuching is situated far from the sea, unlike KK... but stil, NYEH NYEH NYEH!!!! HA!!

Sea by the roadside. Can go there for picnic le (probably not the best idea though... kekeke)

Apart from that, they have TWO (as far as I know) Golden Screen Cinemas!! AND, instead of using readily bought paper posters like most cinemas do, they actually HAND PAINTED the whole thing onto a huge board by the road side!

Kung Fu Panda and Get Started Retarded Smart!! Looks like the real deal does it not??

SHOPPING-AHHH
We did not do much there. Went to One Borneo, the new mall in KK, which is near University Sabah Malaysia. That mall is bigger and posher compared to Spring and Boulevard here in Kuching, nay, compared to both Spring and Boulevard combined!!

One Borneo. Not quite completed yet

But sadly, 50% of the shops in there has not opened yet, so there was not much to see. Tragically, FCUK was not opened either! Argh tragedy...... Tragedy...
Other malls and shopping complex that we set foot into included Warisan Square, Centre Point and Karamunsing. Being the unobsessive and uncompulsive shopper that I am, I did not buy anything for myself this trip as there was nada stuff that I wanted there. So yeah, I suppose that is a good thing, right???? Hermz...

Couture time!!

COOL CONDO!!! *gawks in amazement*

Actually, I have seen Kuku's condo before during my last trip there last February. But that time I did not take any pictures of his cool bachelor-pad-like condo. He "poshed up" his unit by adding lots of cool furnitures, paintings and stuff.

But the coolest part of the house has got to be the balcony!!

The balcony!! Single handedly the COOLEST part of the house!!

That spot is the absolute best when you want peace and quiet, or when you want to phase into jiwangnessism mode and stare out into the mountians and stuff like Badaq and I did *coughcoughcough*

Our favourite spot. We enjoy giving the adults a fright by putting our feet up (mind you, its four storeys up)!! pfft its not THAT scary ok????

THE KK PEOPLE
Special thanks to Ku for being so wonderful and hospitable to us the entire time!

aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! uh-huh, thats my family for you. always whacky...

We also met up with Hansboy! This devilishly cute boy entertained us non stop with his cute antics.

Awwww...

He is half indian, half chinese. He entertained us at the kopitiam by singing a Hokkien song of some sort. Hehe so cute.

FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!
OMG I ate so much in KK. For every meal that we had, I was super full to the max!!

Clockwise: Ngiu Chap Mee, Fish Noodles (noodles made out of fish!!), some ham and egg thing from a Penang food store and 1901 Chicago hotdog

Dr. Pepper and Lime Diet Coke, imported from UK. RM3.90 per can

We went to Little Italy for lunch on Sunday. This place is where I learnt to eat and love pizza yeeeeears ago!!

Little Italy: Authentically Italiano!! Pizzas and Pasta

One thing about KK food that scares me is the price!! Not only is it expensive, but they also have tax!! OMG and I am talking about your regular coffee shop, with no air-cond, no posh tables and chairs. Just your simple average joe freakin kopitiam!!

OMG TAX?? KOPITIAM??? scary......

One bowl of ngiu chap mee (gu bak mee) is RM6!! Expensive right? But it is justifiable, as Ivan said, they put in alot of liaw (ingredients), so obviously it would be more costly (refer to photo of ngiu chap mee somewhere up there). I am just dumbfounded by the whole tax thing! I swear KK people live more luxuriously and are richer than Kuching people!! Wakaka

The trip this time round was more fun and erm, interesting. Had fun in KK, but having said that, I am glad to finally be home in Kuching!! :p
