Our Life Journey: K.Kinabalu & Kundasang 29 Aug

Throwback the conversation between Irwan & Jaja a few months back:

Irwan: We're going back to Sabah again! I had bought the ticket...
Jaja: 2nd trip to Sabah again... Ermmm, what else that we would like to explore in Sabah?
Irwan: If you want to know more, check it out HERE!

So, our journey began.... Driving to Putrajaya & Cyberjaya Sentral in order to catch the flight on Aug 29 via KLIA Transit. If all of you still remember it was the same day of Bersih 4.0 rally. Both of us worried on that day that we might face severe traffic jam on the way to Putrajaya & Cyberjaya Sentral eventhough we were went out earlier.

We were safely arrived at Putrajaya & Cyberjaya Sentral station without any obstacles. 2 parking areas available for those whom driving a car - the covered parking bay is at the other building & the other option is you may also park your car at the open area in front of the Putrajaya & Cyberjaya Sentral. We chose to park our car at the covered parking bay. From the covered parking bay, you need to walk to reach to the ticketing counter to purchase the train ticket.

I am pretty sure everyone is wondering right now how much will be the train fare as well as the parking fee for 5 days. No worries - all of your doubts will be answered soon!! Ticket price for the train fare is RM6.20/pax/trip meanwhile the parking fee for that 5 days were approximately RM20 (RM4/day).

Hello everyone! So here I am. On our 1st day in Sabah, after touched down & collecting the car that we rent we straight away went to check-in at the hotel. We stayed at Switz Paradise Hotel for a night. Frankly speaking I will not recommend anybody to stay at this hotel as the parking need to be paid for RM30/night. Other option you may park your car at the public parking nearby the hotel - do get ready to place the parking coupon if you need to left your car during working days.

After check-in & rest for a while, we went to Tanjung Aru Beach. There were a lot of peoples looking for the parking as well as at the beach including us. But somehow we were really lucky & managed to get the car park after paying the parking fee for RM2. We have a big mission here - CHASING THE SUNSET!!

Sunset @ Tanjung Aru Beach

The view of the sunset at the beach was really stunning & spectacular. I think the picture has described it by it's own without requiring any further elaboration. There was also a solo performer playing the violin at 1 of the nearby restaurant & she's very good.

After watching the sunset, we looked for the restaurant or food court nearby the area. We had our dinner at the food court by ordering Nasi Goreng Kampung & Butter Prawn. The food was great - the menu fulfilled our fussy palate & the PRICE was also "great"!! RM16 for 2 plates of Nasi Goreng Kampung & RM30 for a plate of Butter Prawn. A bit expensive I think as it's 1 of the tourist attraction in Sabah.... But, as I said just now both of us having fussy palate right.....

The next night activities that we did was watching musical water fountain at Perdana Park, Tanjung Aru. More details of the opening hours or how to reach the place can be found via this LINK. I was SPEECHLESS when I saw it as I may hold my mobile phone for 10 MINUTES to take the video without the tripod due to really exited seeing it. Somehow it reminds me of Bellagio Musical Water Fountain at Las Vegas, USA. Exhausting since morning until night - we went back to the hotel to get a good rest for tomorrow's adventures.
