Trip to Kota Kinabalu

This is a long overdue post.

We went to KK last month in september to celebrate my father-in-laws 70th birthday. We actually purchased the tickets a long time ago, when Air Asia was offering their free flights. It was a real good deal. The only thing was one month after we had purchased our tickets, MAS announced their cheap flights as well. :( We were preparing the girls about the trip and they have been looking forward to it. the last time we went back was a year ago for my sister-in-laws wedding.

We arrived on the actual birthday, but it was quite late as we took the 7pm flight. We still managed to cut the cake, which of course Harvynna was happy to participate in. Rowena was a little shy at first but Harvynna was excited as there were other kids to play with. She likes being in KK as there is always lots of people in the house and kids to play with - its like there is always something happening. The girls dont have any cousins in KL, as they are in KK and Australia.

The actual party was on Saturday, in the meantime we had to give the girls their shopping fix and we headed to 1-Borneo. We had a day trip to Pulau Manukan as well, arranged by my sister in law and her husband and it was fun. The girls really had a good time playing in the sea and sand. It was the first time Harvynna played in the sea.

On the way to 1-Borneo,we stopped at the Aquarium at University

Malaysia sabah, where my SIL lectures. They had some really huge fish there which the girls were impressed with.Harvynna was sad to leave and we promised to send her there during the next holidays.
