Dateline: Kota Kinabalu, Sabah


Here i am in merry ole KK for the umpteenth time. not complaining since it's one of the nicest places in Malaysia; it's got everything within easy reach, whatever your fancy may be, whether it is the islands, the beaches, the mountains, or the forest reserves.

in retrospect, let me put it in a nutshell:

1. grilled seafood at the filipino market - prices have increased some but the food still tastes good and the environment's the same great smoky boisterous lively experience.

2. nights at the Loft, Waterfront KK, where my old buddy edward is working at, from the AMP days. weekdays are quiet and perfect for catching up over a cuppa...

3. beef noodles at Restoran Kinabalu - if you're in KK city centre and need food within walking distance of your hotel, try this place out, it's just off Gaya Street, i'm not sure of the specifics but it's there... somewhere...

4. walking about Centrepoint Plaza, which seems as popular as ever after a quarter-century. it's cleverly part-sungei wang, part-pertama complex, part-mid-valley. love it. over this holiday season, it was FULL of west malaysians, just when i was wanting to get away from 'em all... !

all this makes for tiring days and blistered feet at night :p
