BEAUTIZA

I wanted to post about this but i was having problem loading the pictures…. even though its few days late but love to share it with you guys.  On Monday, we went to Lok Kawi Wildlife Park (or Lokkawi Zoo) which is located at old Penampang-Papar road, about 15km from Kota Kinabalu city.  It open daily from 9.30 am-5.30 pm.. its a nice place to visit with family especially during school holiday or weekend.

We arrived at 10.30 am.. my family plus my nephew Gerard.. kids got so excited.. picture taken .. beginning of our journey.. chrissa still have time to give her best pose.

Admiring the elephants.. there were playing while bathing .. so cute.. i caught it in my video camera.. other visitors also using their camcorders to capture the moment.

There are so many to see..the Borneo and Malaysia wild animals such as orang utan, proboscis monkey, Asian elephant, rhino, hornbill birds, tiger, etc.

I only managed to upload a few pics of the animals…

Almost at the end of the journey, Sean keep going strong..checking on the map..on what animal to see next.. while Chrissa can’t go on.. ‘mummy, i want susu’.. hehe.. she got so tired..she can’t walk..and neither do i.. too heavy to carry her.   We were there for 2 hours i guess and I just realized that we didn’t take photo of my husband aka the cameraman.. too busy taking others.. but i got him in the video but problem downloading.

Anyway, it was a nice, interesting, informative, tiring trip.. we were exhausted.. reaching home..clean up..everybody..sleep like a baby.

I love the month of May… and love that Labour Day falls on friday..so we got straight three days off…except for those working on shift or weekend.. this includes my hubby…mmm what to do.  Anyway.. couples taking this advantages to tie their knot during this weekend.. until we dont know where to go first..lol.

It will be special day for Mothers… its Mother’s day… i am still thinking..what, where, how to celebrate mother’s day.. i still have time to think and plan.. talk about that later.

Okay..our reunion with my best friends postponed again..with certain unavoided matters…haiya..don’t know lah when can we meet up..  I send my children to my parents’ house so that i can go out in the evening… instead i was alone at home.. so sunyi..but i managed to sort out their clothes and keep their small size/unwanted clothes in a bag.. i kept it somewhere..still thinking..to just keep it for a while or give away.

Anyway…May is the month where Sabahan have the most holidays in the calendar.. similar to all Malaysian but we have the Kaamatan or Harvest Festival.   May are one of the Peak Seasons.. so its hard to see economy hotels promotions during this month …if you really want to come to Sabah in May… i advice you to book your flight/hotel early to avoid paying extra.

May are full of colourful celebrations..every district will celebrate their Kaamatan and to crown their beauty gueen and these beautiful ladies will then contest in the final round on the 31st May … there you will see the new Hominodun .. Harvest Festival Beauty Queen. I dont really update with kaamatan these days..but i love to promote our ethnic and festivals to the eye of the world…come in May..you know what i mean.

I invite you to Sabah.. The Land Below the Wind!

Wednesday.. our trip to the Historical City..Melaka…  Our journey started at 9.00 am.. we reached there around 11.00 am..if i am not mistaken…     My Brother in-law was our tourist guide and driver on that day..thanks Patrick.

Our first destination….We climbed up the of St. Paul’s Hill where the St. Paul’s Church is situated, once the prayer house of the Portuguese Catholics, then turned into burial ground for their noble dead by the Dutch. The tombstones have Latin and Portuguese inscriptions on them. St. Francis Xavier was buried here in 1553 before his body was moved to Goa in India… check out melaka.net.

I was reluctant to climb at first because of my father in law but he did not give up… lol…  the weather was hot.. we were sweating… but kids having so much fun.. climbing up and down the stairs…

Resting for a while… took our brunch…by then i can’t hardly walk.. mummy so tired… in the shopping complex i admired a few unique tv stands that was on sale.. mmm.. anyway we walked to the ‘revolving Gyro Tower’… Menara Taming Sari.. its quite a long distance.. phew.

The ticket price were reasonable… my father in-law decided to stay on the ground while all of us enjoy the ride… at first i thought my kids would get nervous but instead they were enjoying more than i do…i am scared of height.. odoi..bikin malu..

Everybody were tired…bought souvenirs …went to St. Francis Xavier Church.. and drove back home… we reach home at 5.00pm… enough for a day… we enjoyed the trip.. and got our good rest at night.

We wanted to bring kids to the zoo .. we have been talking about it before the trip but we heard a lots of negative feedback.. so we decided to the Aquaria in KLCC.

We went there on Monday… it was interesting, educational, informative, fun… what else.. enjoyable trip.

kids loves to watch the fishes…

We took video but i dont know how to download it here… well this picture should be enough to show that we had fun… next time you go to KL dont forget to go there.. its worth paying.

I was reading the NST yesterday about Sipadan nominated as the new 7 wonders of the world in the nature category… wow that makes me proud.  The article about Sipadan was in the NST again today and it was nicely written by our own Jaswinder… as she wrote…

Pulau Sipadan is one of 261 nominees in the New7Wonders of Nature online campaign, alongside Ko Phi Phi in Thailand, the Maldives, the Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls on the Canada-United States border and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.  A panel of experts will reduce the list to 21 on July 21.

So friends.. let vote for Sipadan, just log on to new7wonder.com. I will bring my family especially my kids to explore the Sipadan water.. well need to learn how to swim and dive.. will wait until they are big enough.

If you want to know more about this island or Sabah to be exact .. just chechout Sabah Tourism .  For those of you who  landed a jobs in Las Vegas and have been working for so long, well its about time to go for a holiday and let nature treats you.. lol..come and visit us, have a great holiday!
