My Christmas in the year of 2010

I love December, it always has been one of my favorite month of the year...

Went back at the 23rd night and reached KK only at midnight...fetch by my dad and my mom and also Jo'el...we reached home sweet home very late after we'd taken our supper at Fohsang...so everyone, already asleep at home especially the kids..so only get to meet everybody on Christmas Eve...

Below taken on Christmas day...
This year we have extra table..so more people can dine together in one table...one long table..
he he.:)


Food prepared by us sisters, mom, cousins and aunt...some were bought by my mom and my dad...


I messed up with my dishes...i made cupcakes and corn soup....ha! ha!
I was supposed to make bigger cupcakes...and design them however i like it....but....since tidak cukup ongkoss...segalanya berantakan sih.....huhu....
*very dissapointed...*

my lovely cousins, Neta and Nicole... my mom's youngest brother's daughter and my dad's youngest sister's daughter....one of them is the youngest in the family and the other one eldest in the family....ok la...that is not necessery...



this is a must....pictures with revamp artificial christmas tree with full of present underneath...



Time to open our presents....this year...we focused more to the children and the grown-up had an exchange gift instead...and i didnt feel sad getting less present than last year...ha ha...because seriouslyy...ongkos babe...



everyone gathered at the living room after the dinner...



*to see the kids happy smile...and their excitement are just priceless....*

I like this shot...because i was holding a dslr...which i want so bad like my wholleeee lifeeee...:p

haha...so here's the leftover if you want...
the chicken (;p ha ha) was so tasty that i kissed it on its nose....ha ha...sawt

Argghhhh....i only realised that after i said it out loud....and yeay....i even checked the calender to double confirm....

Goodnesss!!..Im broke...and i havent even finish shopping for present....and for my grooming? FORGET about it...ha ha ha...where have all the money gone....must be to the food...and drinks....funny that i lose weight rather than gaining some...but its okay...at least i can eat all i want on christmas day...and days onward...haha....buncit la saja...buncit + kurus...not a pretty sight though....x apa sit up banyak kali or just tarik nafass all day long...ha ha ha....

Neway, just to let the world know that im still alive and kicking...so dont stop visiting my blog okay?...okayy!!

Usukan Cove

Another place to relax...

Usukan Cove, Kota Belud, Sabah.

just few hours drive from Kota Kinabalu...you dont have to take ferry or boat in order to get there..




Few pictures of sheds where you can read your choice of book and enjoy the view and the cool breeze.

or u can enjoy the sun...not for me though...



or spend some quality time with your children


or go snorkelling, or something more adventurous like diving(though, divers prefer Mabul Sipadan, Semporna, you know, sometimes you need to go to new places)...not sure of the price though...

you may need to bring your own safety jacket,if you are extra XL hehe ..:p


The truth is...i didnt see any pretty coral....or a single living creature...not one single nemo..hmm..
maybe if i go further...where its deeper...i see one...well...safety first...


the food were nice...that was my 3rd round already...in small portion..yea yea..

You can book for accomodation too if you decide to stay overnight...

Last but not least...

its fun to take picture on the sandy beach...better yet when it's sunset or sunrise...

but these two photos are good enough...

1st attempt...

2nd attempt...still on the ground...
haha...

One thing is prohibited....Fishing is not allowed! ;p


you can get more information here...
You may call Inno Travel/Sabah Tourism and look for Ms. Stoney...
hehe (sempat lagi ;p )

*pictures shot by my aunt and my bro*

Kiram's Village

id been to Kiram's Village back in August...for 2D/1N trip...

located in Mesilau, Ranau, Sabah. Not far from KK town..just few hours drive from KK Town...

If u are planning to travel...this is the place to consider...

Credit Card is not accepted here...now that i think abt it...i wonder whether there's an atm machine nearby...of course there is silly me...oh well...better prepare some cash...or else you have to drive down to the nearest atm machine...which i never knew where...cos i always bring cash...


Here's the check in counter where you can also order hot drinks or maybe instant noodles upon arrival before taking your luggage to your chalet...
during our trip...it was rainy, so it was very cold...

and there's also karaoke session only start at 730pm to 2200pm....



Just so u know...the road up to Kiram's is tarred...and its not worthy to take cab to Kundasang...because it will be very expensive unless you have alot of money to spend..its better to rent a car which will only cost...mmmm....approx. RM100/day or less...because there's alot of places to visit you know....

better still....find a tour guide...or local people you can trust...

pretty landscape


Cute Chalets


Breathtaking View...and we're not on top of the world yet...because


behind...you can see the Sabahan's Pride...the Mount Kinabalu...

Im sorry for the lack of information...

And here's the contact number should you need to call them...

or you can also visit here to get more information.

Ps. For those who wants to escape from hustle and bustle of the city....this is the right place for you...
for city girls/guys? who loves the shopping complex, clubs, and crowds...this is not recommended...but you can try...u know wat..i love both....

*all pictures taken either by my aunt or my brother....:p*

come fly with me to Sabah...

best lion dance...

CNY in 1B

I know i brag too much about YickNam's Lion Dance...

How could i not?

Me and my childhood friends used to watch them practising outside Yick Nam's Hall...
and we used to climb the palang2 back then...
How could u not brag when your former primary school's lion dance is one of the Asian's best?(maybe even better)..

this video was the 'lion' that ive been talking about...
but the people who led this lion's head were not the one that won 'the' title....

but at least they learn from one of the best right?

and these are the pictures that i would like to share with you...

"yi nan nan, yi nan xue xiao"


the entrance.... and the bandddd...hehe


the lion playing around with the kids


Umpan singaaaa...
