Working in Kota Kinabalu
7 July 2009
I was working in Kota Kinabalu earlier this month and didn’t have a chance for a proper sightseeing tour around the city as I was tied up with work from 8 – 6 throughout the visit there.
As soon as lunch break came about, I quickly excused myself from the event just to treat myself to a sneak peak around Sutera Harbour resort where the medical congress was held.
How I wished I could just have a quick dip into the pool!
The room rates in Sutera Harbour are extremely expensive (approx. MYR 460++ per night) and that is why I didn’t have the chance to stay there. Darn.
Isn’t it relaxing to face the sea and forget about everything else?
By now you all should know that I absolutely adore life by the seaside.
Darn, why doesn’t KL have any quality beaches within driving distances?
How I wished that my lunch break would never end so I could embrace the gentle breeze and soothing sounds of the waves endlessly.
Hmmmm I don’t want to work! Can I?
Just kidding, boss. I was just enjoying my lunch break.
In the evening, I was brought by my colleagues to Port View Seafood Village for dinner.
IMHO, dinner in Port View was nothing to shout about. But, my favourite dishes were the prawns and stir-fried black pepper ostrich.
However, I must applaud Port View for the entertaining Kadazan dance on the stage. Tourists, be it local or foreign, were trully enthralled by the wonderful performance.
And the performers even invite you for a picture or two.
Oh well, at least this working trip allowed me to have a memorable shot!

1) to sarawak its a 2 hr flight, to sabah its 3 hrs. to medan its 1 hr.
2) to any other state in malaysia, you dont need your passport. and you dont have to pass immigration.
3) sabahans & swakians know everything bout peninsular msia. we dont know anything bout them.
4) sabah swak have their own ministries and departments that have more power over central govt departments in peninsular msia.
5) their CM is god.
6) the number of immigrants have already surpassed the number of locals.
7) again, their CM is god.

Grace: You have slim down a lots. Congrats , my dear friend and the pictures of Sutera Habour’s sea view is superb!! I guess the sea-front view hotel room must be excedding the rate that we are willing to pay for a night there. Potong leher price ..lolz…
Kev: hey to say that the Srwkian is weird, I don’t think so because I have personally live with many Srwkians thru out my entire college life. Generally , I find they are kinder and have a softer heart towards Humans compare to Peninsular M’sain which also includes me…lolz… and I do not think that Sabahans are wierd too. Kev, maybe you have just mix with the wrong person at the wrong time lo…ahaha.
