@ 金沙園生肉麵 while waiting ailing flying from KL to KK, landed at 11am, delayed around 1/2 hour.
Picked up ailing at airport then went for another lunch at Fook Yuen Cafe & Bakery. Bread and egg tarts okay, others soso.
We stayed at
apartment booked in AirBnB. A very cosy place with beautiful simple interior design. 2 bedrooms with 3 beds, can accommodate 5 persons. :) It's located at Lorong Bunga Kiambang, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. They used self check in so we didn't meet the owner in between our stay. Water pressure very low since we're at 2nd floor, cannot 2 persons bath together. No water at all.

Today is island hoping day ! We sign up the package to 2 islands - Sapi and Manukan.
Island package - RM37 / pax
Rent Snorkeling sets - RM10 / pax
Banana Boat - RM30 / pax
Island Entrance Fee - RM 3 / pax (paid once for both islands)
Get on speed boat on 930 am and headed to Sapi Island. Snorkeling and banana boat !
Only managed to take few photos of the fishes in the sea. I bought the water proof cover for my iphone and my nex. Still worried the covers not so water proof though. Luckily everything okay. Sea wasn't that clear too.
We supposed to switch to Manukan island at 12noon, but the banana boat man delayed our time. We requested to play banana boat at 11am, but waited until 12noon. And not only us, but a group of youngsters (8 persons) and a group of malay family (4 persons). So we have to wait all of them to play banana boat before we can back to Sapi Island.
It was my 1st time playing banana boat. The boat man will asked if we wanted to "terbalik" our banana boat. Of course, my friends all said yes. He drove us to the middle of the sea and start playing around 5 minutes, then "terbalik" us into the sea. It's quite scary because I don't know whats under me in the sea. Shark? Jellyfish? Lol. It's quite fun.
By the time we back to Sapi Island already 1230pm. Called the lady at Jesselton Point counter and told her what happened, she contacted the boat man back to pick us and sent us to Manukan Island.
I ordered the original soup without tomato, I requested only fish slice and fish balls, charged me RM 13.80 per bowl. Waiter said because I select which ingredients I want so it's more expensive.
Back to our apartment to bath, wash all the dirty salty clothes and rest. We went movie at Suria KK. 29+1. A story about a woman who is almost 30 years old. 30 is a scary numbers for some women. Followed by the symptom of aging from a teenager to a 30+. 30 is just a number anyway for me, see how you treat it only. Life goes on.
After movie, went for seafood dinner at
大茄來海鮮餐廳.
Food and Drinks : RM110.50
