Labuan-Sabah

Another mistake that i've made is not booking the ferry. Thinking you can just purchase on the spot. Well i was wrong! Woke up at 11am, quickly i made my way to the Ferry terminal. I even walked to the ferry terminal. By the time i reach there, there are no more tickets.....argh!!!!!!!!!!!! waste time and waste my energy....no plans.... How? sat down and pondering,,, i don't want to stay another night in KK....and the island is mend for a one day trip and my trip to brunei. Where shall i go? Then i walked out of the terminal, a guy approach me and advised me to take a bus to Menumbok.A longer route to Labuan. Taking a bus(RM25) to menumbok, a 3 hr ride then 45 min speed boat.... Confused and uncertainof what to expect, i just follow the crowd. Down at menumbok, you have the choice of taking the speed boat which cost Rm 15 or Rm 5 by feery but take about another 2 hr. Well i want to be at Labuan asap as it reaching 4 plus.

Once got into the speed boat, you are advise to wear a life jacket...in my heart ...wow this going to be a life threatning sistuation. Its quite dangerous thou. Cause its speed can break the boat into pieces. Putting in jacket and then off it goes...you really can feel the speed thru the wind.... Finally, i reached to Labuan and went ard to search for a hotel and finall i found a cheap hotel which Rm 100 with Rm 50 deposit. The receptionist is very friendly and helpful. Checking into the hotel, putting my stuff and then str8 to the nearest shopping centre. Had not eaten the whole day and searching for any internet cafe to inform my parent of my well being. Walking my way to the shopping centre, found this beautiful hotel where it have a nice balcony..... but seem expensive thou.
I got myself a hair dye as there not much night activities, i decided to stay in the hotel and dye my hair.....thinking will be rushing day tomorrow as will be travelling to Brunei. when the next day come, everything cancelled! as the ferry timing doesnt premit me to do so....clash with the ferry on the way back. The schedule there is unfixed. Hence decided to go breakfast and a barber....Cut at the price of Rm 10, i got new hair cut...Check out of my hotel and say gd bye to the receptionist,
i make my way back to KK.... by ferry which took bout up to 4 hrs.Walk ard the shopping centre for another 2 hrs then head back to the airport. Upon reaching johor, my parent fetch me from there........so sweet rite..........
