Food time.. Imported from my personal blog.. ^_^

This time trying the food at SEKINCHAN IKAN BAKAR restaurant.. we went to the Balakong branch.. (This is nothing to do with any 'tense' ya.. ;-p)

Hubby having Air sirap Bandung.. and I am having the Lime juice..

I choose to eat Nasi Lemak for dinner that night.. ^_^

.. My side order.. Ulam with 3 choice of dipping..

I love Ulam..

..and the result is.. Oh Taking the keropok dipping on the chilis too.. ;-p

This is free.. My boy eat all finish.. Because none of the food suits my boy.. spicy.. He only took the keropok.. -_-

Trying to give him the hard boiled egg.. But he is not a fan of boiled egg.. -_-

Their famous trademark.. The Ikan Bakar..

Unfortunately my less-favourite that night.. The Grill stingray.. very chewy and rubbery.. -_-

Once in a while having a good kampong style food is just a treat.. ^_^

Continue my previous post about Kiram's Village.. Lot's of photos here.. I hope you can view all.. for those who can't.. Saya tumpang simpati.. ;-p

Anyway.. a tour around the Kiram's Village garden.

Not much activity here.. but you can hang around with family while doing some BBQ (Set to rent)..

There are few nice places to visit in Kundasang.. May be can go for tour and on the evening can spend time for BBQ and resting..

I love all the pine trees..

For me.. I love to hang around on the garden and enjoying the cold breeze..

While wondering around.. I am wishing to have such a lovely garden in my house.. hihihi.. but think of the maintenance.. Oh may be not.. unless I hire a full time gardener.. ;-p

Lovely or not?? ^_^

My mom cannot join us to this trip.. she is preparing for my baby full moon party (On the next day).. When she saw all the houses, she says she want this type of house in future.. OK mom.. lets say finger cross.. ^_^

People here so blessed to have a very nice weather.. they can plant anything!! I mean all the imported flowers or veggies.. IF only I have a land here.. sure make a small home vacation with lots of flowers.. hihihi..

*Ada orang Kundasang mau jual tanah kah? Make sure ada mountain view ah.. ^_^

My boy amazed with all the flowers.. Wait until he visit UK during spring time.. sure jaw drop like mummy.. ^_^ (Finger cross for this too.. ^_^.. Dalam perancangan.. jeng jeng jeng..)

My mom mau buat rumah macam ni konon.. ada loteng2 di atas.. adui mom, kalau di sini cuaca sejuk ok lah.. kalau di KK tu.. atukkkoi.... panas!! Jadi udang kita mak!! ~.@

Yang mahal.. the view.. all the mountain hills view.. breath taking!!

Can you spot my boy? ^_^

I can see the ladies are in the progress planting more flowers.. but not in this pic lah.. ^_^

Kiram's Village At Mesilau Kundasang (1)

noreply@blogger.com (CathJ) — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 16:25:00 +0000

During my visit to Kundasang, Sabah.. I decided to have a cottage or kampong feeling of staying instead of staying hotel this time.

I have heard and read blogs about this place and really makes me wanted to try it. I called their contact no and make a book. It was holiday season and lucky me I got a spot.

The arrival.. that is our rented car.. ^_^

This is the place.. Kiram's Village at Mesilau Kundasang.

Even tho it's a bit further in.. I think it's worth it.

Before bring you for a tour around.. let me show you our cabin 1st.. This is the Celery and Tomato cabin.. and we stay at the Celery Cabin on the left side of this pic..

I tot of having both cabin for my family.. Unfortunately almost everyone cannot make it. So I only took Celery cabin (Well.. anyhow it was fully booked that day too).

The Celery cabin our place.. ^_^

The path heading to our cabin.. I fall in love with all the flowers..

Especially the Daisies.. <3 <3

Even my boy loves the surrounding of this place.. 1st impression of my boy was.. 'Wow! Mommy! This place so beautiful.. lot's of flowers!!'... ^_^

Our entrance..

Once we enter.. we have our kitchen.. everything is there.. you can cook here.. I even saw a fridge but I forgot to check if it's working.. ;-p

Next.. to the Veranda..

View from the veranda.. My dad was actually not feeling so well at this moment..

This cabin have 2 rooms. 1 room with queen size bed and the other room with 2 single bed.

This cabin have 2 washroom.. 1 is the bathroom with toilet the other 1 toilet with sink.. they have water heater for bath too (For your info.. Kundasang is a cold place)

Path heading to rooms..

Me and the boys room.. hubby and my dad will sleep on the other room.. Some changes for us after having additional family member.

I can sleep with the 2 boys in a big bed.. and hubby will need to sleep separately every time we are traveling now.. My baby will sleep inside the 'net bed' and me and my boy will sleep side by side.

Another view of the room. I am not able to take photo on the 2nd room.. due to quite small and I just don't have a good angle to snap the whole room.. ~.@

View from the window.. No aircond in this cabin.. coz the wind breeze is cold enough.

My stay cost RM280 (School Holiday price) per night. Next more pictures on the view around..

Note: Astro card charged for RM20, which I think should not been charge after the price of staying there.. We can have cheaper hotel around with free TV.. (Just an honest opinion..).. So make sure you bring your own if happen to come.. ^_^

DESA DAIRY FARM Mesilau Kundasang

noreply@blogger.com (CathJ) — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 07:34:00 +0000

It's my 1st time traveling by air again after being heavily pregnant.. This time traveling not only with my kiddo.. this time with baby.

Update: My baby sleeping all the way during the journey on the plane.. He will make sound sometimes and after that sleep again. I hope will be the same when I going back home.. ^_^.

A new challenge and experience for me.. Well that is what my blog all about.. traveling with kids.. ^_^

Where is my 1st destination this year?

Guess where??

I believed most of Sabahan can answer me straight away.. ;-p

Oh well.. as I mentioned.. I am going back hometown.. and I am taking the opportunity to visit some places around..

My hubby and son.. trying to let my boy sitting on the wood fence.. but he was not confident.. ~.@.. at last have to take photo with daddy..

After few attempt.. he made it.. ^_^

Oh wait.. did I told you where is this?? We were at the DESA DAIRY FARM at Mesilau Kundasang. It's a cooling place and I just love it.

That day.. we took about 2 hours from my house.. I repeat.. from my house ya.. so the time frame might be different from your location.. some people can reach around 1++ hours..

I was actually plan to visit not only the scenery, also planned to witness the process of having the DESA milk.. Unfortunately, we are too late and it was close.

Open time : 8am-5pm.. (we were there around 5.30pm.. -_-)

Proudly presenting Sabah product DESA Milk.. Image source

If you able to enter the farm.. you can actually have an up.. close and personal with the cattle.. ^_^

Felt amazed with the grass.. ^_^

The road going to the milk factory.. the whole area is the farm.. Huge!

You can actually see the beautiful view of the Kinabalu mountain from here.. unfortunately the cloud was too thick that time.. I only able to see the peak.. -_-

Still hoping the cloud will shed off.. but my dad said.. it won't happen at this time.. around 5.30pm..

It might be beautiful if you come around 2-3pm.. I think that time the cloud will be lesser.. and imagine how the view is.. must be amazing..

It's not getting lesser.. but getting thicker.. -_-

So we decided to go home.. oh not home back to where we stay.. ^_^

Did not take lots of personal photo here.. coz I am carrying my baby all around.. ~.@.. But still able to snap an awesome photos.. (ah-hem) ;-p

This is how I carry my baby.. with the cloth.. My mom sew that for me!! ha!.. ;-p

(But I just bought a new carrier.. using cloth too.. it's trend now a days.. so I decided to use it too.. ^_^)

Another pic of me.. I think I am not that strong enough yet, to carry my baby that way so often.. after a while.. I felt my operation a little bit pain.. *sigh*.. (Yeah.. I delivered my baby thru C-sec.. 1 month and 15days ago.. ~.@)

Part 2
(Part 1 HERE)

Continue my recent vacation to Thistle Resort PD..

Some nice decor around..

Food I am having during dinner (Food not included in our package.. -_-).. Anyway still go for the buffet dinner at the hotel itself. Next day.. we went out from hotel for dinner.

Having Yee sang with family.. it's a must in my hubby's family and I like that. Always together no matter how hard life is and no matter how many problem we have to go thru.. we always try to be together.

Besides sleeping.. eating.. ~~merenung nasib~~.. here are some activities we did.. Have to make sure my boy occupied..

We did not go out from the resort, just hanging around and trying their activities.

Swimming.. ahhh.. I really really wanted to dip my body in.. tapi my swimsuit sudah tak muat.. -_-.. and NO Tshirt allowed for adult.. telan liur je lah... -_-

On the afternoon.. hubby will play Tennis with his brothers.. they have GYM and yoga too. After dinner, we will hang around at the kids theater room.. watching some movies and later after that we will sit besides the pool relaxing.

Besides the large pool.. they have another small pool with bar called Cumulus.. Strictly for 18years old and above only.. We didn't know that at 1st.. brought our little boy hanging around there.. after few minutes the staff approached us and apologies that no kids allowed at this area..

Sebelum kena halau.. sempat ambil photo.. ;-p

That is all about my short vacation with my family during this year CNY.. I am so cannot wait to travel again.. Oh wait until my baby born and may be reached 6 months 1st.. ^_^

Thanks for dropping by and have a nice day..

Our CNY Short Vacay..

noreply@blogger.com (CathJ) — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 02:42:00 +0000

P.1

Our previous plan.. actually wanted to go to New Zealand and Tasmania or may be Gold coast Australia..

But suddenly found out that I was preggy.. and the whole plan has to be canceled.. I actually asked hubby to tell the other family members to continue with their plan (Feel bad.. bcoz of me.. everyone not going.. ~.@)

But.. They family wanted to be together.. so have to choose somewhere near.. very very near.. coz I am not able to sit too long in the car anymore..

Lastly everyone agreed to go for Thistle Resort at Port Dickson (Known as Guaman before).. where took about 1 and a half hour from my house.

When we reached.. there was a lion dance performing infront of the hotel.. What a nice welcoming.. hihihi...

The room photo review.. We are taking the Twin sharing room.. Normal price was RM229 (?) if I am not mistaken.. but due to this festival.. the price doubled up! -_-

But I satisfied with the room.. it's huge and the bed is big too..

Nice surrounding too.. This is where we lepak every evening after dinner.. ^_^

More pic around..

Path going to the other pool at Cumulus.

Closing on my HK trip.. ^_^

On our last day.. not much interesting activity.. just follow our tour to normal tour like visiting their jewelry factory.. herbs and so on..

Not much to see.. unless you are interesting to buy some.. I just don't have a mood to shop.. ;-p

Next.. visiting their beach.. Claimed to be the best beach in HK..

Seems HK is a very small island.. their beach are limited.. and this is the best lah konon ni.. ~.@

Nah.. even Jackie Chan's house build on top of the beach.. ^_^

It was a hot day (But chill).. so we don't really go out to enjoy their beach (Lagi pun.. beach kitalagi lawa.. ;-p)

We actually supposed to go for our last visit to the herb shop, but my boy crying.. tired.. LOL.. So we ended our tour with our guide.. we went back to hotel to rest.

At night plan to do small shopping.. Unfortunately it was toooo packed!!!! I hate to shop in that situation.. -_-

So just take picture around.. Don't really take lot of pic too.. coz their seller are not so polite.. hish.. Some will give 1 kind of faces if you trying to take pic on their items.

Ini pun.. kita main zoom saja.. ;-p

Urghhh... to crowded.. lebih baik balik hotel.. -_-

Before balik hotel.. trying last meal that night.. The taste was sucks!! I can feel a chemical taste on the mee... eeuuww...

I have to share with hubby his food...

Lastly.. just showing how their ice here.. hehehhe... bulat2... kiutttt....

HK Aberdeen Harbour

noreply@blogger.com (CathJ) — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 04:07:00 +0000

You all know tomorrow is a Public Holiday right?? All because of our footballer team won the match.. Congrats to them again.. ^_^

Trying to put up all my HK story before new year here.. ;-p

We took a traditional boat for this tour.. Very slow ride boat..

Take the chance to have a visit on this area.. because it might be the last time we can witness this.. The people who living in the boat are lesser now.. because their goverment encourage them to have a life on the land.

Beautiful restaurant.. We did not go down to the restaurant.. Tour guide said.. expensive.. ;-p

I can see not much people staying on the boat anymore.. Tour guide said.. last time the river almost full.. They believed that HK started from a huge group of this junks (Chinese wooden boat) until they found HK Island.. they started to migrate to the land..

They sleep.. eat.. making babies on the boat.. ~.@ (If me sudah pening ni... mabuk laut.. )

Their government always encourage them to come to the land and have a proper place for them to stayed.. but some still prefer to stay and died there..

The tour guide said.. may be within 5 to 10 years from now.. we will not see any of this anymore.. So I think I am lucky to experience this..

Nah.. ada massage chair lagi.. ;-p

My boy.. excited with the tour..

There are few expensive boat around too.. but this is belong to the riches only.. :D. Not staying there.. but it's a place where they park their boat.

We are almost done with the tour (about 35minutes).. suddenly our boat driver... the old auntie.. open the covered box.. nah.. jual souvenir.. That's how they live for a living.. selling souvenirs..

Our tour guide offer to take a group photo of us... Ok lah.. ^_^

My 5 month baby bump... besar kan.. Imagine now... aduh... mau bangun dari katil pun susah.. -_-

I got 1 last post to publish as a wrap..

HK Golden Bauhinia Square

noreply@blogger.com (CathJ) — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 14:58:00 +0000

Our last day tour will be around the town only..

1 of the tour is actually going to the Golden Bauhinia.. It's something like a 'world cup' and made of real gold.. Unfortunately that thing was under construction (Refer to the white container in pic).. coz some people steal the gold (That what our tour guide said.. )

So just took few photos around..

Me with Panorama view near the harbour.. (Click to enlarge)

Next to Aberdeen.. to witness the living of HK people which still staying in a boat.. might be the last generation.. so we decided to visit..
