First month in Kota Kinabalu

Week 1

our flite to KK was on saturday, 16th July, my parents & lil' bros sent us to lcct (tickets were bought 5 days before-cekik darah!)

this was our first time going back to KK in the same flite, and 2nd time flying together, the first time was for our honeymoon ;p

hubby currently is addicted to angry birds- no comment

I was hungry as hell so I ordered the cheese pizza, my first try at it, it was ok, cheesy!

we reached our rented apartment (that we have already painted & bought basic furniture-sneak peak) & started unwrapping everything. it was exhilarating! & we slept at 3am that nite! haha. we also went to Sen Heng & bought essential electrical items

that evening we caught a glimpse of a rainbow in front of our new home :) the rest of the week hubby went back to work as usual & I stayed at home cleaning up & organizing everything. my car also arrived in KK 6 days after we did :) happyyyy (got the shipping contact from my high school friend Meera, whos moved to Kuching with her hubby)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
on 21st July, we got an sms early in the morning, our beloved aunt, Hajjah Sukiah, had passed away after an operation. i was shocked & sad coz i didn't get to see her at the hospital, when we had already planned to go visit her later that day ;'(

arwah aunt sukiah was the one who put the 

ring on my finger at our engagement ;'(

so for the following 7 days there were kenduri tahlils at their house.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
in this week we also went to Aizat's Borneo concert :) it was fun! & i bought his new cd & a badge (which i dont remember where i put, err)

besides Aizat, there was also Fuzz, Altimet, Amir Jauhari, and Jimmy Palikat (local sabahan singer)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Week 2

Week 2 was spent mostly prepping up the house to receive our first guests, my parents! huhu. Also Astro, telephone line & streamyx (most important life line) all came in this week too. On the weekends we went back to Papar to fetch hubby's youngest brother to treat him to the movies (Captain America) & dinner coz he just bagged the 'Best Sportsman' Award from his high school, MRSM Kota Kinabalu. bangga la jugak :)

i did catch a few weird moments in this movie (when he was skinny), his head didnt exactly match his body, apparently the director said all of it was acted by chris evans, just that they shrunk his face n body. overall effects were ok
---------------------------------------------------------------------
on Sunday morning (31st July), the last day before Ramadhan, we were driving to Labuan to fetch my parents & bro. the journey from KK took about 2 1/2 hours. We parked my car at the Menumbok Jetty, the locals there rented out their front lawns for parking, so for an overnight fee we payed just RM10.

me & mama in Labuan

we were actually in Labuan coz my bro got an offer to further his studies at Institut Latihan Perindustrian while he was at his PLKN so we accepted the offer & bought the flite tickets to Labuan right away, the next 3 weeks he gets an offer from Institut Kemahiran Belia Negara Kinarut (which is just 10-15 minutes from my house), so we decided to accept that instead.

So, tickets were already bought, we planned for an overnite trip to Labuan, grab lotss of chocolates and go back to KK the next day. We had our first sahur this year at the foodcourt behind Grand Dorsett Hotel. hehe

one of the many duty free shops there

to & from the jetty we hopped on the small speedboats, took around 20-30 minutes

next day (1st Ramadhan, we left Labuan & drove back to KK)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Week 3

This week was spent mostly with my family, shopping stuff for my bro, and registering him, mama went back to KL first, then by the end of the week abah flew back to KL, my bro comes back to my house when hes allowed to sleep out of campus, so ade jugakla muka familiar kat sini.

bajet muke comel?

------------------------------------------------------------------------
