the magical land below the wind

sending my kisses and hugs all the way from KK, Sabah!!! The experience while I was here was incredible. It was a total rollercoaster ride. I arrived in KK, feeling a bit angry and sad because of something, then I was a bit ok..Lately, i was bogged down with a lot of things that made me worried. Dgn being a newbie in the dept lagi.Haihh.. But then I went back being emotionally wrecked and utterly depressed. Bayangkan, tgh gunting2 name tag, tiba2 aku ter "hujan" depan my colleague. Panik dia tiba2. Hehe.. But I am definitely going back to KL floating in the air feeling happy hoping to fall down and cushioned by the sweet memories. Eceeh... Aku berjaya happy! Weehuu! Here's why:

with a lovely colleague of mine, Ms. Aya. She looks like a typical Sabahan but actually a pure Nogori-an. Best shopping ngan dia kat Pasar Filipino. Dapat extra discounts. She could easily pull off a Sabahan accent. Hehe..

Our group went downtown to a fishing village to have dinner. The seafood was great! I wasnt a big fan of seafood, but the food was good. Then there were some cultural dances, performed by some good-looking dancers. Yummy. And owh, I was selected by the yummy looking dancer to join the tarian buluh. Yeay! ...for being invited on stage by that yummy-looking dancer NOT for the dancing part. Fobia kaki kena kepit dgn buluh2 tu. But it was a hell of experience lah. All in the name of fun. Amboi2 mr.boss, suka dia snap gamba2 anak2 buah dia terkinja2 sambil cuba mengelak kaki dikepit buluh. Hahah.. Tapi dia apa kurang nya. Siap menyumpit lagi tuuuuu. Ahahahah... Fortunately the baloon burst. You certainly held our dept's honour in great intact mr.boss. Hahah.. Let's see the some of the unique food that we had:

Sea Cucumber or better known as gamat. Eeeew yucks! Serious camne aku leh x perasan mende alah ni masa pilih menu kat KL tht day. It reminds me of some juicy maggots lah. But....the taste wasnt that bad ok. Macam sotong2 sket. But still....

Soft crab shell goreng tepung. My favourite!!!!!! I felt like tapau-ing some back but malu la se-meja with mr.boss..


our entrees. gempak x? Seriously humungous okkk lobster ituuuu..

Our night of fun didnt end there. Once we reached the hotel, i bumped into my friend and we headed off to Rumba, the hotel's bar. Mr.boss saw us coming in there. Esok harus dia tanya apa bisnes aku masuk situ. Aku nak jawab networking, boleh? There was a band playing, whom were friends with my friend and they played well i must say. They were just about to start playing Creep when we entered. AAAaaaAAAaaaa.. Lagu kesokaan ku! The suara was sedap. The music was just so good. After they finished playing, they came up to us and chatted for a few good minutes. Siap amik group pic lagi. Boleh? Hahah..

the band. beautiful people, all of them

It was a nice wrap-up of my trip to KK this time around. My eyes are clean and so is my wallet. Hehe.. Rabu sudah kena masuk ofis baah.. I'll be missing KK so much that's for sure. Dont wanna work on Wednesday, can aah?
