SABAH TRIP 2010 (DAY 1)

Date: 19 August 2010

I booked them from a package AIR ASIA GO with 5 days 4 night trip for only RM 660. Is truly a cheap and affordable package for me. So, the day had come. We went there through a big plane of Air Asia departed at 8.00 am. No delay from AirAsia and the place had been numbered.



Here is me and my flight. I am flying to Sabah. The comfortable journey had took us 2 and half hour landing to the KK 2nd Terminal Airport. The journey was simply comfortable and quick. Thanks to Air Asia.

Arriving there, we had my best friend to pick us up from the air port and renting a car for us to go around the town. We had a quick lunch in Luyang ar Kedai Kopi Yuen Fook which is famous among the UMS students. Here the places give a meal in afforable price and delicious one with the famous roti bakar as well. We also went to YoYo to have its famous Milky Tea, yummmy tea..

Then we had check in to our Hotel in Tune which is a low cost hotel but a 5 star for a check-in. Is simply good and nice hotel to stay but space wise is slightly small. Budgeted hotel.

We had our journey to the UMS, my school. We had a walk at the UMS Jetty and had our memorable pictures there as well
