Of course on top of this all to make for a living.....

2020 IS ALMOST A DAYTIME NIGHTMARE

Here we go again... Well, who expecting 2020 will be great year to be... Of course everyone will have always in their mind every beginning of year will be best year, yeahhh well not for 2020.... As early late 2019, we been attack or even heard it little bit more about this Virus, been known as Covid-19.... Similarty as of Sars Virus couple of years back.... As im typing now, its been tough year can say this Virus been attack to all over the globe... lost counting of Virus been attack and to death as the counting list is always on running numbers.... 😪😪

Yeahh, Probably there we Pro and Cons when i decided to go back for Good at the end of 2019.... cant say it is mostly because of this Virus, but it is the time been called to go back for Good... Nothing much to describe for this 2020 but probably all among us mostly 'Malaysian' we been in most of the time in 'Movement Control Order' by the goverment.... As of today 20-10-2020, the worst State been hit with this Virus is in my state, the Northern Region of Borneo Island of Malaysia.... It is Sad but true story, its been tough couple of weeks to our state, from the Zero case now it is rocketing to *** 3 digit of infection so far and 2 digit of accumulative deaths... 

Till Then, Hope our state will heal and back to normal as it is before....

HOLIDAY AROUND SABAH, MALAYSIA

For the past couple of years since in a while... been visiting some place for vacation... Of course its not like before days where im still on my stone age...haha... if we talking about holiday or vacation, now it will be or must be with Family... well, we can say it is quite fun and sometimes it can be challenge. And so far, not so much been achieved but we still manage to go couple of place, not around the globe but around the 'pocket' can be tolerate....hehe... Yups, travelling with kids is not that cheap, cant expect backpackers room for that....

Maybe i have to dig some journey that we been make so far... really its not that much but couple of it... i just can count it with my fingers...hehe... but yes, sharing is caring...haha.... to make this life easier, i mean typing this without much error on grammar and probably the spelling the story much be easier with pictures somehow... 

Hmm, lets start somewhere in my local place. Yups, most of you will know well my place... yes, if you go to Map (now its much easier with Uncle Google) just type 'North Borneo', yups that where i belong to.... Lets skip that one... it will go another chapter to another if i start with that one...haha...

So, talking about holiday in my own place... pick up a place where you want to go, couple of place to visit here, from Beach, Mountain to Jungle....he he.... have many choice... what i can say it will not dig much your pocket...lol... My own favorite place will be mountain side.. located in the middle of North Borneo, there's called Mount Kinabalu that will in my first place to be hangout on weekend whenever back at home.

This Blog will  one place that quite attracting to stay somewhere in this area. H.Benjamin Residence is one of Hotel/Guesthouse can be consider.... This is from our own experience, this place is awesome......

this hotel is nearby the Mount Kinabalu, as been advice by the hotel, the best time to see this view like this is before the sunrise.... yes, its really attracting,,,,,

Some of the view around the hotel.. so simple hotel but promising for comfortable stay and also the view....

The mountian view is Really something to see.. this can be seen for 30 minutes before the cloud cover it up,,,,

With cup of Coffee with amazing view will be perfect for early morning will be cool......

Nearby this place, there's a lot place can be visit... with small kids will be recommend nearby to visit the Desa Cattle... This place will be easy to access using car. Google Maps or Waze will be helpful to guide you to this place. As for me, just drive and see where u ending up... But usually this place will be full on peak time/public holiday.... the food in restaurant was good.. 

hmmm, its seems awkward to blog this but yes, Sharing is Caring somehow... maybe some of you thinking of going out from town why not try staying here... you will not regret.... 

Driving From Kota Kinabalu City to here will take around 3 Hours - easy drive... of course lot of uphill and downhill and also sometimes fog will be there, just drive safely and enjoy the view.. it will be fun.....  

Will coming more update after next post..... ✌✌✌✌
