I was recently back in Kota Kinabalu and not only did I have the pleasure of shooting an uber wonderful couple’s wedding when I was back there, I got to celebrate my Mum’s 60th and Dad’s 70th birthday as well. It was a great trip home for me, for though I was shooting and editing in KK, I managed to take a couple of days off just to catch up with the family as everyone managed to go home at the same time this year.
And like I always tell my sister, however dysfunctional our family can get, I love everyone to bits. Albeit I’ll annoy the crap out of them too :p
The beeee-yoooo-ti-fool ‘welcome home’ sunset on the first evening back to Kota Kinabalu.
Mum & Dad’s birthday celebration at home. The below two pics were shot by Nigel. Thanks :D
I think my younger brother was trying to score additional brownie points so that he can get the car more often -__-”
Being home also meant lots of ‘nom nom’ sessions :p
Brought Dad to his optometrist to get his glasses fixed. And guess what? The shop owner found my records from 1992! That’s when I got my first pair of (uber fugly!) glasses. Dad and I had a good laugh over how long ago that was. I also complained to Dad that he ruined my childhood by picking really geeky glasses for me.
He said cos they were cheap -________-” Fail!
Hello sexy! I get these cupcakes from Bits & Bites in Wisma Merdeka EVERY SINGLE TIME I’m back in KK. On day 4 of my cupcake crusade, Mum saw me munching on a new batch of cupcakes and said “You’re STILL not sick of them?!” Hehe…
Went to Salut for seafood dinner with some friends (nice seeing you all again :D), but was too busy pigging out & I forgot to shoot the food :p
Took breaks from editing to go swimming as well :p Yay!
Sunset off Tanjung Aru Beach.
It’s true what they say about ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’. The longer I’m away from KK, the more I miss that place. That being said, I’ll be going back to KK again for a couple of wedding and portrait sessions in August 2009 and January 2010.
Can’t wait :D

(July 14th, 2009, 12:59 am)I love that tiny shop too. All the foods are so sedap! Every single thing. From the fried mee, the nasik lemak, the spaghetti, the cute little cuppies. Oh my. How I wish I could go to KK again. A shop never to be missed. Seriously!
