Trip to Kota Kinabalu (2) - First day in KK

Ok guys..sambung cerita i yang flew ke KK sorang - sorang tu.. Once tiba di airport maka dapat lah i called Chef CiJu. bertanya itu dan ini.. ALHAMDULLILAH... my brother arrived at the airport just on time.. 5 minutes before the gate closed.. macam nak fengsan Chef CiJu berlari ke counter dropped luggage.. I m very sure, 'Anak - anak Sidek' and My Mommi, My Daddi cuak sakan..Bayangkan depa ni selalu travel dengan i, tup - tup kena handle sendiri.. I know My Daddi maybe tau sikit - sikit sebab biasa kalau balik ke Johor pun  pernah ambik flight. Tapi ye lah... bukan routine kan naik kapal ni..  But ALHAMDULLILAH diperrmudahkan.. Kalau takkkkk, sure hampa my anak - anak buah nak i suka - suka.. at lasttt... huuuhhh.. really suspend. 

When i arrived at the airport  KK , terus my fren (actually Hubby's fren since depa sekolah kat USA lagi until now)  whatapps me dan ajak i keluar dulu and had some thing to eat before fetching the rest yang maybe sampai at 12.30pm. ALHAMDULLILAH, i jemput depa di airport. Transportation?? Ohhh..thanks to our frens Azmi and Aisyah yang meminjamkan their 2 Hiluxs for us. Maka i and my brother drove the Hilux. Huuuhhh si capek ni bawak Hilux tu.. terasa i macam ganaz. hee..   dan we  directly  went to the hotel yang telah dibooked oleh Chef CiJu.. 

We stayed at Promenade Service Apartment. We took 2 studios and 2 Suites for 19 of us. Mean meanwhile waiting for the rest, i brought my parents to my room first..yelah.. nak makan, nak go to toilet lah, mandi, solat. after we took our simple lunch, (i tak makan pun sebab dah makan sikit masa keluar with my fren, Aisyah tadi) kitarang berehat kejap.. Kat luar was so hot. Planned nak keluar awal, tapi kami cancelled. Hubby lak still got meeting. We all akan jumpa later. 

sooo.. time to take a nap.. macam Abang Luqman ni..

and these kids..heee lepas kena sound sebab bising, terus sembang kat area kitchen.. kelakar.. ini lah depa bila dah berkumpul sama cousins.. happy jeee..

About at 5pm (macam pukul 6pm kat Semenanjung), we decided nak melawat Pasar Filipino.  and we decided just jalan kaki je.. sebabnya my kaki tak larat nak tekan clutch. heee.. dah terbiasa bawak  auto.. ini lah padahnya.. well actually not because of that. just my kaki ni felt so uneasy.. biasalah kannn.. numbness kann..but then Aisyah called and mentioned Azmi with drove us there plus her car and plus another Hilux driven by my bro, PamanMie. 

time to get ready..

we went to pasar basah di area Pasar Filipino. just went to area barang - barang kering like Udang Kering, Ikan Bilis.. macam - macam ada. suka sangat.. tapi tu lah kann.. nak bawak balik tu satu hal lagi.. heee

tau apa ni?? sedap kalau buat cekodok.. heee..i bought banyak yang ni. 1kg just RM8.00. nak buat ole - ole. now i prefer belikan orang food rather then barangan... 

tau apa gak ni???i bought this too.. 

sementara yang perempuan buat 'tawaf kidai' (ingat this phrase dalam Adam Hawa??), yang lelaki dok sembang.. 

kami tak banyak shopping kat sini. ingat nak ke Pasar Filipino kejap. tapi tak banyak yang i beli.. just few thing. macam malas jee..lagipun panasss..

kami menuju ke area gerai - gerai makan.

the gerai by river bank. cantik sangat masa ni. almost sunset. 

tau apa ni???

mahal tak terkata..sekoq ni, almost RM180..nak percaya ke tak nak..malas nak argue, baik tak payah makan. baik tunggu Hubby sebab dia dah kerap makan.

seronok lah anak - anak.. they enjoyed the food here. even this place bit messy.. well biasalah kan.. unless makan kat hotel or resto.. hee..

we love the ABC.. sedappp.. manisss.. cuma satu pelik, dalam nya ada macaroni. heeee

i love this fruit.. Pak Temuk sure tau buah ni..

so fresh..

we ate here sampai lah sunset. cantik kan.. we left this place and back to the hotel. Malam ni another group akan sampai. about 10.30pm, they arrived. Hubby and PamanMie fetched them plus another Hilux given by Azmi. Now we have 3 Hiluxs for us.. MASYALLAHHH.. JAZAKALLAH tu Azmi and Aisyah... 

we met the other group here dan terus had our dinner here sama - sama dengan Azmi and Aisyah and their 2 boys. we had really long table. heeee.. 23 persons all together..tengok apa yang kami makan. Really recommended this place. Lebih bersih and neat sikit this place. we spent about RM600 plus here.. kira sorang makan dalam RM30 lah.. but tell u the truth, puas hati. plus food all awesome.. jom tengok apa we all ngap ngap..

ada Sotong Goreng Tepung.

Ketam Masak Cili Api

Udang Goreng Masak Chili.

Trip to Kota Kinabalu (1) - Flew to KK alone ???

Traveled to Kota Kinabalu supposedly in group sebab this was our last family trip yang diplan last minutes this year.. But then coz of nak kejar tickets yang bit murah semedang tak de the cheapest promo to KK, maka our group divided into 2 groups. ada yang flew morning and some flew at nite. Some more yang nite tu mostly members yang bekerja. tak nak amik cuti lah gamaknya or cuti dah habis. 

me, the kiddos, my bro's family, and my parents flew pagi. Chef CiJu and the gang, malam. everything Chef CiJu dah arranged kan. just i follow je. this time, she did the plan. but, tu lah ALLAH maha perancang.. even dah cantikkk kita rancang. on the day i nak buat confirmation dengan Air Asia di USJ, i noticed that i punya flight on Friday, Nov 23, 2012 at 8.10am.. Meanwhile the rest at 9.15am.. Meanssss i akan terbang sorang - sorang. sepatutnya yang kedua i fly dengan Hubby, but since Hubby dah ada kat KK since Tuesday, maka JUST ME ALL ALONE TO KK. Haruuuu..

Then we decided, even ada dua flights, the rest must go to airport at the same time i flew. safe side lah.. and tak kan Chef CiJu  hantar i then kena hantar lagi. Lagipun tak cukup masa for sure. Means the 3 Abduls and my parents  akan tunggu my brother sampai, then baru depa fly. But i asked Chef CiJu tunggu till my brother sampai airport. 

Di sini lah cerita bermula.. Once sampai airport, baru i macam teringat.. WAS IT IMPORTANT ANY ID like BIRTH CERT. I called NekCik, she said dia guna PASSPORT... pegi SABAH pakai PASSPORT??????? Otak i terus cramped. Buat check in kat machine tu je, terus i dropped luggage. Kat sini i made a double confirmation.. the answer was YES.. i terus called my niece yang ada di rumah, ALHAMDULILAH she immediately sent the ID to Chef CiJu.. i dah tak ingat about this ID coz my last trip to Sabah with kiddos was in 2005.. dah tak ingat dah..

I called my brother.. U know, he already left home dan dah half way to airport. Dia cakap, asal lak nak pakai surat berranak??? I cakap, patah balik dan amik birth cert. GILA kann.. i said dont worry sebab i dah check in kan dia. means once sampai airport dia just dropped luggage je.. I knew he also got angry lahh. but what to do.. Me myself also tak jangka about this thing. Huuhhhh!!!!!...berpeluh segala celah dibuat nya.. 

now the time was already 6.45. i need to go to the gate. kejap - kejap i called Chef CiJu.. If my brother could not make it, i nak Chef CiJu pastikan my kiddos and parents boleh fly. If not, apa hal i sorang - sorang kat KK. betul tak????and plus sure kena bambu dengan Hubby.. Arrggggg... My backbone dah mula sakit masa ni.. STRESS punya pasal. 

Once i boarding still i kept calling Chef CiJu. i just dont care even dah masuk dalam kapal. Emergency!!!!.mengatur strategy cam ne if this thing and that thing happened lah..Sampai lah my flight got ready to fly, then i off my cell phone..

dalam flight sebenarnya i dah plan nak tido since i was too tired. i was sooo stress with all these scenes. But I COULD NOT SLEEP... goshhh.. even i lahzah you. so worried. macam - macam ada dalam kepala i ni.. Just almost nak sampai i  memandang keluar dan menikmati ciptaan ALLAH.. kept praying everything would turn ok..

Once touched down and reached at the terminal, terus i on i phone. YA ALLAHHH.. my phone buat hal. I tak boleh on kan.. I m sure ini lah gara - gara POWER BANK yang i guna kan.. it spoil my cell phone. Panic bertambah...Cool kejap.. Then after berjalan masuk, nampak counter immigration. Tambah lah panic. PASSPORT ASING and PASSPORT MALAYSIA... What??????? Pakai passport? betul lah kata NekCik, guna passport.. aduhhhhh.. my back sangat - sangat sakit masa ni.. cool..coollll... i toleh sebelah, sorang pun tak keluarkan passport.. oooo..pakai IC je.. Huuuhhh.. Orang Malaysia yang lost dalam Malaysia sendiri.. PENAT KEPALA i. Kenapa travel dalam negara sendiri pun tak mudah.. Anyway, once i settled kat pintu masuk, i tried to switch on the phone sekali lagi, dan dapat lah i bercakap dengan Chef CiJu.. apa yang Chef CiJu cakap?? Apa cerita flight depa?? tungguuuuuu....

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 662 :

Narrated by Abu Said

The Prophet said, "You will follow the wrong ways, of your predecessors so completely and literally that if they should go into the hole of a mastigure, you too will go there." We said, "O Allah's Apostle! Do you mean the Jews and the Christians?" He replied, "Whom else?" (Meaning, of course, the Jews and the Christians.)

Dior Facial at The Saujana Hotel, Subang

Last N3 i ada ceritakan about D I O R   p r o d u c t s kan.. then i also mentioned about the facial. I ni bukan jenis sentiasa berfacial.. In my life i hanya buat once. It was so long time ago while i was still using LANCOME. I think about 10 years ago.. Cam tu lah.. Why it was first time and last time?? i memang takut kalau orang usik - usik kulit muka i ni.. sebab tu i jenis yang tak berani nak simply cuba or tukar with other products. memang takut. 

But since i bought DIOR products recently, my new beautician mentioned to me that with my spending  i was entitled to have free facial. the event was held on last Saturday at The Saujana. After she convinced me, i pun terasa nak took a chance. The place pun macam best je kann.. 

So, i pun went to this place bit early. this place even so close to my house (still in Petaling area lah kan.. ) i memang tak pernah sampai. So, coz of afraid being late sampai to the event which the event started at 9.30am, i went out bit early. Drove here actually just take about 20 minutes to arrive. again since i takut lambat, i arrived  The Saujana  about 30 minutes  earlier. I pun mencari - cari.. Emmmm salah tempat you...bukan kat main hotel, kat The Club rupa - rupanya..Terus lah i ke sana.

suka nya tempat ni.. macam kampung tau.. hotel dalam hutan..never been here..macam teringin lak nak stay at least one nite here.

i was the first client yang sampai. terus dibawa ke bilik treatment..i noticed tak ada pun their client yang berhijab except me. 

sempat lagi tuuu.. heee..ALHAMDULILAH, no need for me to tanggal - tanggal my hijab. sebab my hijab tu cukup selesa dan mudah for the therapist buat facial. nak kena beli lagi tu nampak gayanya.. I m using RATU..

this is my therapist. seronok nya..my second time doing facial.. pampered myself even just 45 minutes... what a day ... 

my therapist, Miss Lily.. very gentle, very soft..my face right after facial so fresh without aby make up... and i was ready to do make up by DIOR.

besides me, there were another 2 ladies. depa semua disolek oleh make up artist lelaki.. 

luckily i was attended by this  lady make up artist, Ms Cindy. Sambil she's doing my make up, she explained some tips. suka sangat. very informative. After that, she wrote some of the tips about the products. she also put a very light make up on me. 

because of this product lah maka i got free facial today. but i just using the cleanser. nak pakai yang  di atas ni mau terpengsan i..so damn expensive..right after the make up, i had photography sessions. waduhhh.. macam artis i you. lip lup lip lup. flash. posing ke sana ke sini. heee...glamers sekejap i lah kunun - kunun. 

me and my makeup artist. this was right after i ada session memilih photos..

Miss Cindy kata dia boleh peluk i, so i boleh nampak kurus sikit. heee.. gitu lah ghopanya kalau tak sedau diri ye.. da memang badan tu besau.. sibuk - sibuk nak nampak keccik. heeee..

right after photography session tadi tu, i pun menjamu selera sikit. lagipun i was really starving masa ni. tak sempat nak breakfast pun. just drank a cup of Alpha Lipid. 

saje lah nak bergambo dengan my beautician/colleague Ms Carol, beautician at Sunway Pyramid.

sebelum balik, sementara menunggu shuttle tiba, sempat lagi tuu..

this is the result after they did some touch up on my pictures.. putih lah sesangat.. there are a lots still my pictures yang belum i amik kat DIOR counter. maybe later on boleh pi amik..well, i was so happy with what i had done in this activity. just to mix around and just having fun. wish depa ada lagi free session macam ni.. teringin lagi nak joint. INSYALLAH..
