Sabah & Sarawak Visit

I went to Sabah & Sarawak for industrial training visitation from 8-11th Dec 2007. The following are the details:
Day 1:
  • Arrived at KK Airport around 2 p.m. - Checked in Radius International hotel - court room with no view - dissapointed - but the room was very nice with contemporary design and a canggih-fied shower - gotta have it when I have my own house.

    Contemporary

    View from the room

  • Had lunch with Tay - Malay food.
  • Walked around the town - went to the handicraft market - walked around for more than 2 hours - was not so impressed of the town - nothing much around there really.
  • We went to a nice Hong Kong restaurant for dinner - the service was excellent with a ever-so-friendly waitresses who had Hong Kong celebrity's name on their name tag - cool. - the food was excellent - we ordered too much though - we shared baked cheese rice with seafood (which was so damn creamy and rich!), ramen with fish fillet, borsch soup (this was excellent; I came back for more), and cheesy-chicken - stuffed for the night.
  • Didn't sleep well that night - felt claustropobhic in the room - watched T.V.
Day 2:
  • Next day, transferred to a room with sea view - magnificient view and the room was more spacious with plenty of sunlight - absolutely love it - bright and sunny.
  • Sea View


  • Went around the mall in the evening - ordered the borsch soup again and stir-fried hor fun with ginger and fish for dinner. Tried corn in the cup with BBQ flavor - wanted to try something different - but this combination is yucky!
Day 3:
  • The next day, woke up early - had a good night sleep.
  • My student came to pick me up to visit the company - it was about 1/2 hour drive to the industrial estate.
  • Met up with the branch manager - received positive feedback on the student's performance.
  • My student dropped me at the hotel at about 9.45 a.m.
  • Checked out - boarded the MASwings Fokker50 to Bintulu at 12.35 p.m.
  • Reached Bintulu at about 2 p.m. It was a lovely drive from the airport to the hotel - with plenty of trees and green - had a nice chat with the taxi driver - a nice and caring man.
  • The room is spacious - with a view - had a nice hot shower - it has been a long time since I last had such a darn relaxing and satisfying shower.
  • Ordered room service for dinner - had seafood spagetti with mussels and other seafood and cream of mushroom soup - not that great.
  • Watched T.V. - dozed off - a nice rainy night - cosy - looking forward for the next day's breakfast.
Day 4:
  • Had a scrumptious breakfast - they served dim sum too! - i absolutely loved the sarawak nasi goreng and mee - it was so good.
  • Checked out of the hotel at about 12.40 p.m.- went to Bintulu Port to visit my student - had a nice chat with the Sales Manager - a nice man- but i was amused by the way he prepared his speech and how formal and serious his speech were - i nearly wanted to laugh - it was almost like he is giving a formal speech to a group of audience :P
  • They entertained me well - served refreshments and presented me a nice souvenir - a jewellery box :)
  • Boarded the AirAsia flight at 4.10 p.m. -reached LCCT at 6 p.m. - Alfred sent me back home.
  • Had a good nice sleep at home.
