KK Day Trip 2

Getting to Mount Kinabalu is not as easy as we "googled". Apparently, few that stated on the net was : i) We can reach mount kinabalu by public transport. ii) Is only rm2.50 per person. iii) took only an hour to reach.

Well, there are several things that i want and need to correct!

I) there aren't any public transport up to KK, probably in a few years back they might have it, but certainly not when we were there. But, yet again, the public transport might have hidden somewhere secluded where we couldn't find it. :/

II) Even though there are no public transport provided, you can choose to sit the small vans which specifically goes to KK. Its pretty much noticeable because you can see a few vans gathered together and people holding the sign - TO Mount Kinabalu. However, the price they charged wasn't RM2.50! For 2 ways it cost each of us RM30. AND, SIT AT YOUR OWN RISK! You'll know the reason soon :(

III) We did not reached the place within an hour, instead took us around 2 hours. Probably it was also caused by the heavy downpour and super misty weather.

IV) There are nothing much to do in Mount Kinabalu unless you're going for a hike, or else reach there before 3, at least you'll still have a botanical garden to visit, unlike us! :/

It reminds me of Brisbane's countryside. :(

My bear. ;)

When we arrived there after such a long journey, we were very disappointed as there were practically nothing that fascinated us at ALL. Thus, we just snapped a few pictures since we came all the way up here. RIGHT?





Welcome and Bye Bye in less than ah hour.

Okay, and so we made a deal with the man who drove us all the way up and it seems like we're the only tourist besides the other passengers who live around Mount Kinabalu. We told the man we'd be following him down after he has finished dropping off all of his passengers. (He suggested that as well, seeming like he knew we don't have any other ways to get down). He gave us a time - approximately 5.40pm. Wait in front of the entrance. We were pretty puncture and also we'll not want to miss the van as there aren't any other ways to get down to the city. The only option left was Rm100 for the van provided by Taman Kinabalu receptionist. The van were meant for people who are going to stay there or came with a group of friends. Thus, we came out around 5.30 and hang around at the one and only "mamak" outside.

Tension have not creep-ed in.


We waited till around 6pm and i really started to get VERY panicked. It was drizzling and the mist was bad enough to make you shiver. We had to think of the worst scenario which is to hire the Rm100 van to get back to the city or ask someone in the mamak to give us a ride back down? I really have no idea. Apparently, the workers in the mamak said there will be a bus crossing by around 6.30pm but it wasn't convincing enough to calm me down -_- However, thank goodness, the van came by around 6.30pm with that idiotic smile on his face where i really feel like laying my fist hard on his face! We could have really missed it and stranded there, they weren't being responsible at all, and thats why i said earlier on.. SIT AT YOUR OWN RISK!

I was happy to be back in the city!


During night time, we were mentally and physically too tired to get our ass out of the hotel. So we initiate a game by ourselves. The make-up-photography-session! IT WAS FUN! :D At least i get to torture someone physically by drawing on his face to release the tension earlier on. Mwehehehe. Just jk :/


surprisingly, mine turned out to be quite nice!
good drawing skill bear :*
