I-City

Since i started working, I've the tendency to plan for something every weekends to make my life seemed less dull.. and at least looking forward to the weekends! This time we made our way to I-City during earth hour. Last 2 years i still celebrated earth hour when i was still a student, perhaps now time is too crucial that this year i have decided to skip it. Shit, reminding me i'm no longer a student really upsets me! :'(

Made our way to I-city :

Got to admit the place is pretty with all the lights! Entrance fee is rm10 including parking. The ticket can use as a discount to enter the "snow place", 10% or 15% off.

OR you can have another alternative choice to go in to a place around Rm5 and get a discount of paying RM2 only to take pictures with giraffe, elephants, etc decorated with lights! Its a small section where they are just like other decorations, don't understand why we even have to pay for that :/ i can even snapped a picture from the outside! The downside is i can't have a picture of me standing close to it.



was pretty amazed with the colourful lighting!


Oh, its a pegasus by the way!



oops i can see one part of his hand without the blue glitters!

We decided to use the entrance ticket for the "snow walk". If you've decided to go beforehand, please wear sportshoes! In that case, you can waive the shoes borrowing fees, where it costs RM10 per pair and another RM10 for deposit. T.T However, the place inside was quite nice compared to Genting! There are definitely more interesting things to see and play here.


With the quite "hideous" coat and a rain boot they provided us.. I could still pull it off but definitely not on HIM.
HAHAHA.












igloo!


heheehe can't stop laughing looking at his outfit.






apple!


hugs and kisses! :)




snow throwing? :D




flamingo is cute!




didn't know this place was for worker and i just sneaked in for fun :P



so nice i don't have to walk. hehehe.


but someone apparently said that i looked like i was humping mickey!


unsatisfied lust. :p


he and his favourite character!

when i leave the place, i was so heartbroken because my camera were all fogged up. For one moment, i thought my camera was broken! fuuu, thank God nothing happen. Pictures below said it all and I have pictures worse than this!




but apparently, nicki still performed well, until today. :)


cactus gone wrong..! zzz.

Final shot before we left the place:

KK - DAY 3

Making our way to the best day ever ;) where Manukan and Sapi Island have outshone themselves more than I have expected. We woke up much earlier than yesterday fearing we might missed out something again and hope to had all the fun we can before the weather started to be a bitch like every other evening.

The view along the way to the city is quite beautiful ;)



Hopped on another bus to Jesselton Point where they provide boat services to islands. They also provide other things such as snorkeling equipment, life jacket etc for additional RM10-RM20. There are a few companies offering the same package therefore it is very competitive between them. Thus, beware not to be cheated by them and make sure you compare the prices before you really pay for the island packaging you're going to.


After we paid for the package, we noticed that we don't even have any cash in the wallet, literally ZERO. We told them we have to get some cash before we depart. However, they had to leave on time and thus suggested that they will lend us RM100 and we'll pay them back later. We hesitated but eventually we had no choice but to take it. I just felt really insecure knowing that we don't have any money :(

The dock.



On our way to the island, the sea looks blue from far but actually there are quite a number of rubbish can be seen floating on the sea. Especially water bottles, so unethical.


We made a last minute hasty decision to go for snorkeling and we swam with those fishy fishy!
SUPERB FUN :D

Amazing view!

Reminds me of tangalooma.
every shit is reminding me of brissy.
FML.
The man who droves the boat.
He's a really nice guy.
He said to pay the snorkel equipment along with the money he borrowed us.
When we arrived back to the city, we returned him the money we borrowed earlier on, however we were still short of RM20 for the snorkel equipment.
Initially he said its okay he'll waive the fee for that but one of his friend over heard and insisted that he'll accompany us to the bank and take it from us. It was quite a distant to the bank and it was raining cats and dogs.
F*, i hate him! -_-

The island is really really beautiful.



You don't have to learn to swim to snorkel!
But generally i can swim :P

We went to another island- PULAU SAPI. Its something different where they have plenty of corals to see when you snorkel. Its freaking awesome! But be careful not to step on them as they are quite fragile and you might hurt yourself. The corals are under protection anyway. If tourists continue to ruin the corals, the might start banning people to snorkel in that island. Because what we heard was they used to have more corals last time, but in times, many of it were ruined.


We had their so-called famous bak kut teh in KK around 5 smth. It was raining so heavily that we decided to have early dinner and wait for the rain to subside then catch the bus back to the hotel and not coming out anymore.




It was quite delicious but not the best, i would say.


Thank you for the whole trip, bear. ;)
i had a superb time being with you!
