Off to....LA

Monday, June 7, 2010
No... I didn't go to LA as in Los Angeles - couldn't afford to go there.. not yet anyway ;)

Today, me and my BFF along with our colleague and her 3 children went for a day trip to the neigbouring country, Labuan. It's an island actually just off Brunei and Kota Kinabalu and it belongs to Malaysia.

Went there aboard Seri Anna (the vessel/ship - whatever you want to call it) and the journey takes 1 hour 40 minutes one way.

Here are some pictures from today's trip...

It was my second trip to Labuan and I gotta say nothing much has changed since December 2006. The trip was tiring and the weather was so hot and as my BFF said, it's the first time she sweat like a pig! LOL!

Nevertheless, it was a fun day out and grateful thanx to my BFF for the trip day ;)
