Shell CF Family Day KK

last weekend, i joined my wife for her department's family day at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah....it was held at the Sutera Harbour Resort, Kota Kinabalu....actually there were a few other departments that were invited to join the Commercial Fuel department such as bitumen and aviation, to name a few.....my wife went to KK on thursday with the rest of her office colleagues while i joined her on friday as i couldn't take any leave due to i'm still a newbie at at&t....so, on friday evening, took the 6.45 pm flight to KK and about 9.15 pm, reached the KK terminal 2 international airport and was officially the 1st time i set foot on KK and on sabah....yeayyy~.....after checking out, took a cab to the Sutera Harbour Resort....since i arrived at nite, couldn't really enjoy the view of sutera harbour resort....but from a glance, the resort was beautiful....caught up with my wife at the lobby as she just got back from diner....and we then head up to our room....the room was quite nice....almost like the one at the Palace of The Golden Horses but PGH was much more better....after i had my bath & diner, it's time to get some sleep....












the next day morning, me & my wife went down for breakfast at about 7 am but it was already bright as 9 am at the peninsular....had breakfast at the resort's cafe house and the cafe house was next to the marina harbour of the resort....wow~....it was really amazing....now i know why the resort was called sutera harbour resort....after breakfast, we joined the rest of the staff and their family members for the marching activity....the staffs were divided into 4 team houses, red (which me & my wife are in), blue, green & yellow....there was a marching competition between the 4 teams....it was quite entertaining watching them march with their own creativity and marching ideas.... :P after the marching, there was an amazing race competition for those who participated....for the rest who are not in, there was another activity.....an art activity which is to make a 'tepak mangga' i think if i'm not mistaken about the name....was quite interesting....we had to complete it before 12 pm....and at 12, it's time to submit it....4 different 'tepak mangga' with 4 different kind of creativity....after that, we head to the ball room for our lunch....it was a buffet lunch....the cuisines were not bad, as long as it is edible....after lunch, went back to our room to have a rest and to escape from participating the singing rehearsal for the nite's diner hippie theme....eventually, we slept till 5 o'clock :P


















the diner starts at 7pm but everyone must be at the lounge area at 6.30 pm....me & my wife went down at about 6.40 pm and there lounge area was already packed with the crowd.....everyone's in their hippie outfit as the theme for the diner was hippie....at around 7.15 to 7.30 i guess, all of us entered the ball room....upon entering the ball room, it was already decorated with the hippie theme & sense....before makan time, the MC was introduced which was Fred (that guy is really kinda funny).....he really brought up the mood for the nite together with the super sporting & hippie general manager of the CF department....was really surprised & amazed by his funkiness....never had i saw a GM with that kind of attitude....after the speech by him, everyone head to the cuisine area as the diner was also buffet style....in between the event, there were performance by a band, singing & dancing competition by all the 4 team houses, lucky draws and much more....it was the best diner nite i've attended so far.... really enjoyed it....around 12 o'clock, it's time to call of for the day....me & my wife head up to our rooms to have a good nite sleep....






























the next day morning, we went for breakfast at about 8 am....went down a little bit late today as there were no more activities on that day....we're going back to KL....after breakfast, me & my wife went around the resort to have a walk while gazing at the beautiful landscape of the resort....the sea view was beautiful, the marina harbour was impressive and the whole resort was really nice....after enough of sight seeing, we went up back to our room to pack our stuffs as were going to checkout at 12....after checking out, took the hotel's cab to the airport....before checking our bags, we bought some frozen seafood to bring back to KL....they say it's cheap compared to the peninsular....dunno how much cheaper it was but it's not every time that u get to find & buy tiger prawn at KL....so why not get some here in KK....at about 2 pm, we boarded our plane to head for KL....we'll definitely come back to KK one day....
