My Awesome Kota Kinabalu “Audit” Trip
Before I leave my home sweet home, I just spent some time resizing the photos taken during my audit trip at KK. However, I realised there’s only 1 photo taken for my work and the rest is L-E-I-S-U-R-E-!!!~ 
Anyhoo, it’s also my first time to KK. Lotsa thingy to explore, so little time. Will definitely go back again for the island hoping and white water rafting! 
Rachel Tan a.k.a my roomie for the whole month!
Yoe a.k.a my bro for the 1 month…..
Sadly our flight got delayed…… 
MAS!
My Team Leader for this trip, Gan!
Getting ready for my 2 hours of sleep!
Finally reached Promenade Hotel, and we’re ready to explore for our dinner!!~
The route we took everyday to go office
KK Waterfront….
Our super huge chicken burger!!~
walk to Filipino Market….
Yoe and his chicken wingssssssss
Gan, “Rachelle, if you’re lost I know where to find you. HAHAHA!”. *moi*, “…..=__=||| “
On the 1st day of audit, I think audittee were quite shock that the auditors were there for the 1st time. Mr Lawrence, the Head is quite friendly and helpful, I must say. Quite a relaxing 1st day for me as I don’t need to do all the miscellaneous sections. (Thanks, Yoe!) On the same night, I met up with Nick for the 1st time and we just went of a drink. Somehow the chillax turned to drinking game and he lost! And he told me how funny is it that we were both staying in KL but we met up at KK. 
The next day, me and my impulsive decision had gotten my roomie and I a hiking trip up to Mount KK, thanks to Adrian and his friend’s help to get us a place to stay at Laban Rata. 
Broke + Excited!
Preparation on Friday night….. Thanks, Jerry and Lawrence for lending us all the stuff. Save us lotsa $$$ to purchase them.
energy bar, which i don’t think I’d taken any
my life-saver!
More equipments from Jerry….
Saturday morning, we begin our journey to National Park.
Gotten our pass……
and begin our torturous journey up…..
food provided by Sutera Habour…
Look!!~ ME!!!~ I can’t believe myself!
Our dorm with 2 French Canadian guys…
Sunday morning, had our breakkie and head up! Yesh, it’s 2am. However, the scenery is remarkable (but I still wouldn’t do that again!)
the porter is super gung ho!
some fruit/flower we found on the way…
and I’d gotten my CERT!!~ *BOOOYEAAAA* 
Then, I suffered for a week. I can’t go up/down the staircase, and I can only walk comfortably on flat road after the 3rd day. Adrian had to picked me up to work and sent me back to hotel after work. Not to mention even carried me down the stairs when were in Fireflies. LOL! *tragic*
Somehow, I survived! Eventhough, the rest of the audittee were laughing at the way we walk…….. for a week!
The next week, we went for seafood!!~ As usual, Yoe and me being our cheeky-self, went and torture the poor lobster…….
I want this!!~
We wanted to go for beach party at Tanjung Aru, but somehow I overslept on Saturday, which is lucky because the bikini contest was on Friday instead!
Sutera Habour Resort…..
So, Yoe and I went to 1 Borneo for movie and dinner and then, head to Times Square for some “chillout” session. Met Danny there with his clients. But we decided to head back to hotel early and call it a night as tomorrow, we’re heading to GAYA STREET!!~
Besides the pets there, I don’t think I will go again. Not because it’s boring or anything, but because it’s SUPER HOT & HUMID!!~ 
I feel like I almost die walking in the market. But it’s worth the experience, when I see all the cute puppies!!~
Look, Rachel Tan! It’s you! RAT!
Look at the cute magnets!!!~
and we met this funky dachshund!
she’s camera shy…..
and I love hatsssss!!!~ But it’s too expensive
baby guinness!!!~
we were exhausted! (and hungry)
me complaining about the heat!
(i miss my curly hair)
kuih cincin….
Gan’s Kampung Adidas shoe….LOL!
and they have cute ice-cream truck!
Finally, my hideous, hungry face! I kinda miss their bread, there. It’s so soft and tasty! *addicted*
sunset…….
our hotel…..
then, it’s dinner time….
a very tiring day for me! LOL! Lotsa walking
3rd weekend is Manukan Island!!~
went to Jesselton Port to buy our tickets..
Kenneth joined in the fun!
*sampat-ness*
Look how dark is Yoe! LOL!
*fishy*
the ride where I was toss to the sea…..
and the mini-mart guy was saying I’m a bottomless pit….
because I ate 4 ice-creams! (and it’s only sorbet)
reminds me of piranha…
swimming pool at night!
On the same day, Gan followed Mr. Lawrence to Tamparuli……..
Introducing, Mr. Lawrence!!~
the famous bridge….
they even have Dusun song for it….. but I don’t understand what they singing…
that’s my team leader…..
the floating mosque….
During our trip, it’s my roomie’s birthday! It’s so nice that she gotta celebrate her birthday out of Peninsular Malaysia for 2 years. Last year, she was at Kuching and this year she’s at KK. We bought her a buffet dinner at the hotel we’re staying and then, head to Le Rendez-Vous for drinking session. What’s birthday about if there isn’t any tequilla shots?
Feeling reluctant to leave KK, as there’s so many things undone yet. I haven’t been to Sapi, Mamutik and Gaya Island. 
But I did gain lotsa weight back and darker skin. So, I better plan on diet. Looking back at all the pictures really made me smile at the stupid things I’d done there. However, these memories are worth keeping. I did made lotsa new friends, and some are getting closer.
