first day

3 anak beranak... Departed from Brunei Int Airport at 0840hrs. 45mins flight to Kota Kinabalu Int Airport - no food, only drink and sweet - wat to duuu.
Arrived in KKIA, suprised to see airport, its much different from what i can recall 10years ago...? The construction is not completed yet, designs looks similar to KLIA + aerodynamic shape.
Since its still early in the morning, decided to have breakfast at the airport, makan bubur nasi ayam at McD... thats the only restaurant we can find at the airport. My daughter loves the bubur so much that she finishes 1 bowl herself! fries were abit too much salt.
Took airport taxi 9budget service) straight to Tuaran - costs RM80 for 45mins drive.
Along the way, chit chat a bit with the driver, a Sabahan, ... not really musim buah but fruits can be seen everywhere, slightly expensive tho. seen the new City Masjid - "floating" concept, pass-by the new 1Borneo mall... according to him, its damn expensive! another mall is coming soon, 1Sulaiman just next to 1Borneo.
After 40mins, enter the junction to the resort, first impression, incredible! a luxury golf course in the middle of nowhere. Arrived at Garden's Wing of the resort, greeted by the staff and a traditional gong was played to announce our arrival, followed by guling-tangan.
Served with minuman sambui - really feel fresh after the journey. The lounge is similar to Nusa-Dua & Miri marriot. Express check-in since I have pre-register myself. Given room 538 facing the forest, as requested...
