I get to spent my weekend in heart of Kota Kinabalu after I refused to go to Ranau, or anywhere else. I just wanted to do stuffs and learn the way in the city. I was actually planning to go to the city all by myself, buy some stuffs and come back to the apartment but suddenly, Tita has a plan for me and her. Since she is one of my bestfriend and that we were actually going to a wedding ceremony, so I'm up for it.

Unfortunately, we aren't able to attend the wedding due to the transportation matter. It would be nice to witness a wedding, Sabah style but God's have a better plan, I guess. So me, Tita and Noy went for movie outing instead and I ended buying two pair of shoes. One for running, one for skating. Skating? Nah, I just happened to like the shoes. I will used it to stomp stomp in the city. We watched Riddick, and I would be pissed if I paid RM12 for the movie but thank God, I just need to pay for RM5. That is definitely the lowest fare to watch a movie in Malaysia. 

Travelling in Sabah is not complete without trying its local delicacy. Since Tita is a Suluk, basically I ate food which are native to the Suluk. I must say that they like it spicy and sour, not altogether. There is this one menu where inside the bowl contain minced meat with spicy black soup. So black, you can't even see the bottom. It remind me of the crude oil, thank God it's delicious. Only too spicy for my taste. I forget the name of that menu which usually served in wedding ceremony but i remember Itum, which mean black in Sulu.

Blank-Itum. Sedap & byk daging. 

I also get to taste the kuih muih of Suluk, which is mainly sweet. I'm impressed. I like the fried banana coated with sugar. It mixed very well with the hard sugar texture with ooey gooey of the banana. Later that night, we go to Pasar Filipina (amazingly, we just have to travel by foot to all of this place in KK). What makes it so special is that the seafood is fresh and stunningly big, the market itself is big with an environment nothing likes other market. If you know your way, you will have the best and cheapest deal. We bought some seafood and brought it home since for dine in, you have to pay for the table. I like this green grass-colored grapes-looking menu. It taste like egg white with sea water. Yes, that unique. 



The night at the waterfront is lively and calm at the same time. It is a good place to relax, chill and chatted with your friends. There are a ton of Western restaurants nearby. As I said to Tita, an ideal place for one to propose to his/her love one.  

On Sunday's morning, we strolled around Gaya Street and see what is up. It was cool, nothing like Uptown Shah Alam due to the fact that a lot of foreigner was there. At one point, I heard a Chinese (with thick Mandarin accent, might be from China) said that there are too many people. Yes, as many as the number of visitor, it wasn't that intimidating for a crowd-freak like me. I didn't buy anything as I have 12 more weeks in KK.

Overall, now I start to like KK. It is easy to move around and there are a lot of attractions and places to go to. 

p/s: Very thankful and grateful to the hospitality provided by Tita & Noy. :)

First drama of 2018

So, the drama for 2018 has already begun. Wow. I'm that bitch. Anyway, here's the back story. I worked for this small company for about a year and 3 months. All those times, i was never confirmed as an employee. meaning i'm still under the probation period. and they make it clear for me that i'm not confirmed, with every week, they'll told me that they can't confirmed if I don't buy a car. I can't afford a car w my salary as the car seller told me, if I want an Axia, I need at least $1500 salary and mine is like 300 below that. I always told them, I will buy it when my sister is ready too, as she will be the first name owner of the car. And my sister told me, she only can do so this year. So, I told my company that I will buy a car this year. Maybe in January. Who knows. Because of the intense pressure from them and I got a job offer, I quit my job after the new year with 24 hours notice. And the drama ensued. My company told me that I can't qui...

My Mom..

Today, I'm going to tell you guys, about my mom which many of my friends do not know. Every time when someone talking about cleaners, i get very sensitive most of the time. My mom, Tida Bo, work as cleaner before i could even reading to support our family. She working in many places before settling down in Shell's Main Office at Miri (not the pumped station, ok?) Here the picture : She work like there was no tomorrow and really hard. Even though, some of her higher education colleagues always look down on her, she never gave up because she know, she still have us to support of. I know, if me and my siblings are already got stable job, never ever she would stay there. Her spirits is always beyond any of us. That's one of the million reasons why she inspired me the most. Although she did not attend school and didn't even know how to read, we can see that if she had the chance, she would be more genius than the rest of us. Maybe in another life, mom. Love you. So, every ...
