Adventures at Kota Kinnabalu

    Last weekend, we went to Kota Kinnabalu for a short break. It was a really enjoyable break for all of us.... and best of all, we got to spend time together ;-)
    Many firsts occurred during this holiday.
    1) Auntie D got pick-pocketed for the 1st time.... thank God someone caught the pick-pocket, and she got back her wallet intact.
    2) It was Dylan's first trip on a small speed boat.... we had to take a speed boat from the mainland, to a small island off shore for better waters for swimming, snorkelling and sand play. Dylan enjoyed the boat ride immensely. Look, doesn't he look like the wind is putting him to bed?

3) The kids got to feed the fish and swim among the fishes. Caleb even saw the fishes swimming past him using his goggles ;-) Come to think of it, Papa ran away from the fish coz they attacked him while he was carrying the bread in the water!


4) Auntie D, Mummy and Caleb tried para-sailing for the very first time. Caleb was the bravest of us 3 .... the boy really knows no fear, and was rearing to go from the start, despite being told he was going to be suspended in mid-air like Pooh in a hot-air balloon! I think mummy was the most scared of all. All the possible came to mind.... Having said that, the ride was really quite safe, and we all had a good time. After Caleb came down from the para-sail, he said. "that was really fun.... can I go para-sailing again?"



4) It was the first time Caleb fell asleep at the dinner table while eating (he actually had a mouth full of food, and we had to wake him up to finish chewing!). I guess he had a really good time at the beach playing sand and swimming, and after all that fun (and no nap that day), he was quite tired by dinner time. He went from talking incessantly at the top of his lungs one minute, to sleeping on the table in the next minute! ;-)
