Tour: Cameron Highland and Kota Kinabalu

Filed in: Life Log — April 5th, 2008

Next week, I am going to have my vacation at TWO different places: Cameron Highland and Kota Kinabalu of Sabah. What a busy but happy week!

Before that, I am going to Kuala Lumpur today. I will stay overnight at my brother’s place. We will have dinner together and watch the Japanese movie “L”. Then, I go to Cameron Highland with my friend tomorrow morning.

It has been many years since the last time I went to Cameron Highland. In my memory, it is a beautiful and relaxing place. I always prefer Cameron Highland over Genting Highlands.

I will spend 3 days 2 nights at Cameron Highland to enjoy the beautiful nature and the fresh vegetables and fruits. Oh, and the tea too!

Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

I will be back to KL at April 8, 2008 (Tuesday) from Cameron Highland, then fly to Kota Kinabalu(KK) at April 10, 2008. We had planned this tour for months. It is the trip of the year among us, the ex-collegemates. Last year, we went to Langkawi. 17 of us are all excitingly looking forward to the coming tour!

“Sabah Insight Pocket Guide (Insight Pocket Guides)”

It is a 5 days 4 nights tour. We will have a local guide there and stay in apartments.

We will first visit a friend who is infected by Acute Leukemia recently. Yeah, that’s sad but he has our full support. He has a blog at http://kvsrestjourney.blogspot.com/

Some activities of the KK tour are: Kinabalu National Park, Padas River white water rafting, and Tunku Abdul Rahman Park (island), but not climbing Mount Kinabalu. Water rafting might be a challenge for me because I don’t swim!

My two cents

“Wow!” was the first impression of my every friend who knew about my DOUBLE tours in a week.

I guess this is going to be my longest tour of the year. The KK tour is the yearly plan of our ex-collegemates, while the Cameron Highland trip was a sudden decision. But I am sure I will enjoy both very much!

I am not bringing my laptop for the tour (I want Asus EeePC!) but I will try my best to update about my tour using Twitter and Flickr.

Ha ha.. yeah twitter is the best way to update us. I spent 2 weeks in Cameron Highlands and it was definitely a refreshing break.

If you need WiFi around Tanah Rata, check out this map of 3 shops that has it.

I recommend you try out the food at Rosette Cafe too – especially the steam boat.

No climbing mount Kinabalu?! I planned to go climb the mountain during recent AirAsia free tickets promotion but guess what, I couldn’t book the Laban Rata hostel which in the end forced me to cancel my plan. That officer in charge told me that all rooms are fully booked until august!

This is what is quality life all about.

Being a full time blogger, you have the luxury to do what you like.

I am heading for a north trip with my boss, 1 day trip, 5:30am from my house and expecting to return home on 10:00pm. This is life of a working class……

Looks like you got the travel bug in you. but enjoy yourself anyway. I was in Cameron Highlands some time back for business with a local hotel. The drive up there through the winding road took us 3 hours to reach right to the top at Equatorial Hotel.

Never been to Kota Kinabalu but hope to visit there someday, though I have been to Bintulu in Sarawak.

WOW from me too hahaha… So nice, can actually plan for group trip with ex-collegemates. If only I can plan like this too but too bad.. cannot… not easy. For many people they will have their own commitments and so on, don’t even say a trip, even just come out to yum cha also very hard.

Bliss… Being a full time blogger, the time is in our control though I’m not full time, still can consider almost full-time, still much flexible than others hehehe… best job in this world
