The One who got it FREE
Hello people.. Sorry for the delay in regards to this post. I was so busy with the packing to Melbourne. Okay..Lets start ya…
Lynn aka Nur Amalina messaged me one morning to ask me whether I want to go Kota Kinabalu(KK) for free? Yeap.. she put it that WAY.. Little that I know that I have to compete for IT in JetSaver Light challenge. But we were game for it. The requirements that Jetstar needed
- List 5 things that we want to do in Kota Kinabalu with a budget of RM 120 sponsored by JetStar
We came up with an itinerary which I think was good the way we presented it. And TADAAAAA.. We Won!!! So we did these while we were in KK.
- Visit the Sabah Museum using public transport. Bus number 13 goes there. It cost us 90 cents each person one way. So total were Rm3.60. The admission to the Musuem is Rm4 per pax. No camera allowed. In the museum, we learned different kinds of ethnics available in Borneo. How they live before it is today. And how they emerged to how they are today. Total cost = RM11.60
- We proceeded to 1 Borneo Hypermall by bus too. Initially our plan was taking the shuttle bus. However in order to do that, we have to walk back to our hotel which is at least 20 minutes from where we were (Bus station). But while we alighting from Bus no. 13, we found a bus heading to 1 Borneo. So why not yeah? By that time, we were used to take the public with the Sabahans. Really living it up as Sabahans. I’m pretty sure that 1 Borneo has a lot to offer to tourist because it was so hug we barely has the time explore every corners of it. Booo. Yeah.. It is that BIG! We had our late lunch there at Kenny Rogers. Total cost of the lunch and the bus ride was RM 50.
- Next stop was the Signal Hill Observatory. Sadly, there is no bus going up to Signal Hill. Being girls, we hailed the cab. It cost us RM 30 to and fro. Not that bad as Lynn and I are not up for hiking. Signal Hill is well known for its view of KK. It was well worth it.
- By that time, we were rushing the cab driver to the Waterfront as we wanted to catch the sunset at a clearer view. And we did caught it. It was awesome. I love it.
- Last but not least were the seafood dinner over at FIlipina market. Warning; if you are someone who mind eating out in the open, then you would not like it. But both Lynn and I were thrilled by the seafood galore that KK was offering us in the market. We were really basking it in the atmosphere. We had some squids, crab and a huge stingray. You would not believe the price we paid for that dinner. RM27!!
So who said you cant travel budget? We proved it that we can do it with just RM 120!
Now, I have put all the pictures and some video clips in one video. I hope you like it. Enjoy!
Thank you JetStar for having us. We love our time in Sabah. And would love to come back again when time permits. Definitely with JetStar.
Thank you Sabah Board tourism. For gracing us with a wonderful seafood dinner and the entertainment. Lynn and I felt very welcome right from the time we arrived right till the day we departed from KK airport.
Thank you to my partner, Lynn. Without your invitation to join you for this trip, I wont be writing this entry. It was a fitting Goodbye trip before I head down to Melbourne to work
