Well, I'm not that particular abt accomodation, I'm fine with 3-star hotels and don't mind sharing room/apt. I also plan to climb Mt Kinabalu again (unless there are more interesting events). I just checked return ticket (including tax) on Air Asia (MYR467) and MAS (MYR1096).

Accommodation In KK Louisa had contacted her fren in KK, so she suggested that we stay at Likas Square Condotel, which is 5 - 7 min walking distance to Likas Stadium. It's a apartment suite which can accommodate max 6 person, family style with a living room & 3 bedrooms, free 24 hrs internet... and the best thing is, they are having a promotion right now, ard RM350/6 pax (normal price is RM650). But I think is ok to add bed if needed, or maybe we have enuff person to book 2 apartment. Besides, this area is 10-15 min driving to KK, so is quite conveniece for us to go down town, hehe... Stay in KK town area is not recommended as the taxi fare is very expensive. We plan to go on 19/12, back 22/12. But we'll wait for all of ur arrival date, as we need to share the accm. Do let us know your date of arrival. We need to ACT FAST coz the promotion may last anytime. Thanks! Please go http://www.likassquare.com.my for the hotel overview and http://www.likassquare.com.my/blog/ for the promotion. As for Hauge, u can come to Kch to join us. We can go to airport together. Visit Airasia website for ticket booking. Do let us know when u wanna go, and how long u wanna stay, k?
So they've brought the prices down, huh? Hmm, tempting but still far from the cheap cheap nice food at Api-Api ......
Give us some time, we try to solve the 'seafood' problem, ok? Cats like seafood, so we r not going to miss it!
Sounds good.But the tournament is 18-21Dec so would you pls book 17 to 21 Dec.I don't mind arrive one day early cos I don't wanna miss any matches.Jen and I will pay for that one extra day even if there are just two of us.Thanks so much for taking over from abedeng. Might be his turn to arrive at 3am!!!
You fly all the way for the almost free seafood? By the time you cost in the airfare, it's no longer cheap. But you can buy back at the airport and they pack the seafood like professional(it's fascinating to watch but I'm jakun in many things) so it's still frozen fresh when you reach home. BTW , I just saw the condotel and it looks like they just refurbished it in anticipation of our arrival.Looks like there's space for mahjong too.
Of course they have to take over. In East Malaysia, East Malaysians should take charge ....... even if Sabah is a different state. And no, not likely for me to arrive at 3am, and even if I do, I am very familiar with the area and can find my own way ......
Aiyo...the distance Kch-KK is just like Kch-JB, take 1 hr 25 min to get there, where got near...I went there once, to work, so actually was in a rush, I think Abg Din is more familiar than me ler...hehe! Anyway, is our pleasure to give now, as we had received a lot in Jkt. Louisa has fren in KK, so she contacted her for opinion. So, anyone else to join the party?
ok....we will have to further discuss on this......we have to take over from abedeng, though he is more familiar then us...i never been to KK before...for accomodation, should be ok, food...hmmm, abedeng knows all about food... mahjong, sounds interesting, but i donno how to play.... see....u should take over as the coordinator lah... 1 hr 25 min in flight, not driving nor walking....
Mahjong,don't know, it's ok. Can learn.But I'm only kindergarten level. Anyway it will be badminton and food, guided by our food guru, abedeng. Last time we had to stop over at Kuching and realised KK felt like same distance as Spore to Kuching.But the flight's very pleasant so the stopover is ok.
That's because I've lived in KK, long before the Likas Sports Complex was ever built and the whole Api-api - Tanjung Aru area got developed commercially ....... And good food not difficult to find. The trick is, to find good food within walking distance, that would be tough if we stay at Likas ..... though we shouldn't worry so much about cabbie fare since we move as a group. Wonder if it is worth it to rent a car, MPV perhaps? Hmm .....
cat sisters, i wanna go!!! i wanted to call u tat day to ask u bout when i got da news its in kk.. but im bz till now haha... working... so wads da plan now???
