Other then having big meals and visit those "recreation club" a few times with my relatives from Singapore and Canada I finally had a chance to experience something difference. A not so difficult 4WD trip to Kasih Sayang Resort.

We depart from my house with 2 4WD, a Suzuki Trooper and a Toyota Hilux. I am not sure about the others but I was having fun in the ride. The trip was not too bad, though lots of holes and unpaved surface on the way. We then arrived at a place with a nice Kota Kinabalu view.

Some shots on the way to the resort..





Some flowers and plants shots around the resort...

































Some Shots on the Scenary, unfortunately we were there at a time where the sky was not clear. Apparently the best time to take picutres there is around 10am in the morning. So please take note.







You can see the new One Borneo shopping mall this is shot..


You can spot the Yayasan Sabah building from this shot

I am back to KK. It has been a year since I came back. It was a rainny day in KK and I woke up quite early for some reason, so I took my camera and shot ransomly in the garden.











Now I really need a macro lens. :(

Yup after weeks of stress work dealing with Canada, I had finally departed from Perth and reached KK. It is holiday time.

Since Australian exchange rate was getting worse a few weeks ago, I have predicted that the gadgets will be more expensive in Aussie. That said, I have managed to upgrade my Nikon D90 with a good deal. I also bought a backup camera duty free before I departed from Perth airport.

So how much did I spent to upgrade my D50 kits to D90? I bought the D90 with 18-55mm lens for A$1453. I sold the kit lens for A$205 and also sold my old D50 for A$400. That means I paid A$848 for the upgrade. While I was laughing about the deal I just realized that I purchased the camera 30 days before I departed Perth, so Australia Tourism Refund Scheme gave back my 10% GST which was another A$132?? That is a total of A$716 for the upgrade. :)

Another deal was the Sony T77 I bought duty free in the airport. I knew the D90 price in Aussie was about rm100 difference after conversion (rm 2.3 = A$ 1 at the time of writing this). The T77 costed A$359 in the airport, thats RM 825+. When I was shopping around in one of the shopping center in KK, the same camera is selling at RM 1299. Thats another A$150 saving?

Well, one can argue that I will save more if I didn't upgrade my camera or even purchase a backup camera. I understand that, but I just can't help it. :P
