1Borneo Part 4

I am terribly exhausted from today’s outing. Ah. I woke up early as I need to be in 1Borneo at 8 am. We (2 executives & I) were late by then as we saw the Sagajuta big man helicopter already landed in front of the Auto City. 

The big boss already giving out speech when we arrived at the concourse. Ha.ha. As usual, we were super-late.

And then everyone ushering the boss for the grand opening,eh? Actually i really don’t know where are they going, we were just, tag along. LOL.

 

Owh, they went to the Sagajuta office for the… urm, launching.

Then off back to the concourse for the token of appreciation session, where every contractors, consultants, staff, etc were given certificates, voucher, air-tickets … etc.

Yes, me. LOL. We were too lazy to join other consultants sitting, so we decided to stand with the 1B staff.

Representative from the monitoring & auditing division. We are their environmental consultant

I woke up early on saturday morning just for this! argh

and… that’s about it! The largest lifestyle Hypermall in er… Borneo. 

After the ceremony, we had breakfast at Kingfisher’s then I’m off to pick Piare, Gugu, Piare’s friend & Ren up. We were driving around the town, Sutera, Tanjung Aru beach & off to 1Borneo, again. Had lunch at pizza as every other shop packed with people. Then Gugu saw this when we were in the level 2.

Gugu: I want to ride that Piare! *LOL.

Gugu was having  blast at Booboo land (Not sure whether I spell this correctly). LOL. 

When we were on the way back to the car, I came across this. Located at the ground concourse, next to M.A.C cosmetic & GUESS shop. Could it be something that I’ve been waiting for in KK???

nyheheheehehe. Let’s not make any assumption. Let’s just wait & see. *grin*

Oh btw! I saw the document/laptop bag in Braun Buffel!! The one that i fall in love with when I saw that bag in the Buffel outlet in the Gardens! ah. I soooo want that!

 

I will look handsome carrying my document and macbook with this bag. mwhahaha.

It is a Men Business Messenger Bag. It has a unique opening. I have google it & it is listed in ebay.uk

1Borneo

Yep I went to 1Borneo today as it is ‘unofficially’ open its door to public. Well, my first impression was, whoa, not bad lah. The developer still rushing to finish up everything. Basically the mall & its adjacent hotels are in the finishing phase but for condos, they are still struggling with the floor construction.

I hope this mall will have sufficient parking lot to accommodate the number of visitors especially during the weekend. The first shop that makes me go ga-ga was the French Connection! FCUK finally reaching KK! 

There are some other bigger store open in 1B as compared to the one in Warisan such as Charles & Keith, Esprit, Billabong, Blush etc.  Argh I can’t remember all the shops, but some that i take notice are M.A.C cosmetic!!, Braun Buffel!!!!, Tune store, Nine West, MNG, Crocs, GUESS, Euro Moda, Samsonite, and etc.

However, I can’t locate my Zara yet.  

Owh, some of the cafe that I notice during my visit was Starbucks, Kenny Roger & RCH. We weren’t really walk to every lane & corner. mwhahaha.

Th GSC 1Borneo wasn’t that bad, as compared to the one in downtown. It is much more better. But it is incomparable to the Cineleisure Damansara! I sooo LOVE the Cineleisure The Curve!

I come across one blog that give in-depth information regarding the updates in Sabah. You can check it here! Bravo!

I went to 1B with si Adamz. He’s down in KK for some fam thingy. mwhahaha. Then we went off to Warisan Sq for lunch etc. I then went ga-ga over his iphone! warghghghgh. i want an iPhone!! 

 

oh dang! Now I seriously want one. I have made up my mind. I’m getting iPhone over xperia X1! But of course I have to wait until end of this year (the earliest) to get my hands on the 2nd generation!

I met his ‘cute’ friend too & we hang-out at Starbucks Warisan & everyone went ga-ga again over gadgets. I brought along my macbook too, obviously. *rofl.

ah I can’t sleep tonight. I still can feel the iphone on my palm & fingertip! *Soi oh ko adamz. LOL.

Oh btw, 1Borneo is not located in the city centre. It is located along the Jalan Sulaman-UMS. So in order to increase human traffic to the Project area, they are planning to offer hovercraft service to transport people from the city centre & the airport. Cool eh. The reason being to transport people straight to the airport is that, 1B will housed 4 hotels, Tune Hotel, Novotel 1B, Mercure and BEST WESTERN Coutryard Hotel. The taxi ride will cost a bomb to transfer tourist from the airport to 1Borneo.

Could this kind of hovercraft will be another new added item to KK-Likas seaview ?

p/s: To all my DusunKadazan friends, and whoever celebrated Harvest Festival, Kotobian Tadau Do Kaamatan! Moginum kita (cheers) !! Ha.ha.

Hmmm… I’m thinking of driving to Karambunai beach tomorrow, alone. 

Weekend ramblings

Finally, after 3 weeks of boredom (thanks to me being a lazy bum) I painted the town red! Literally.

Prior to that, kart came to the house to send some goodies she bought for me and Ren. Thanks Kart for the unicorn! I’ll pass it to Ren when I see her. He.he.

Anyway, had a Big mac moment with Jessie at Api-Api’s. Decided to hit the Api-Api outlet instead of the usuals as I hunched that it would be crowded with people (saturday yo!). We went back to the mall to check out some shoes as I am in desperate need of one or two pairs. Ha.ha. End up buying 2; one black 1-inch wedge with black strap & a white 2-inches sling back from another store. Well, those two are the nicest among all & meet the criteria I wanted; comfy, plain-nice & presentable for work.

One day, maybe my trip to Manila or when I go back to KL for a round of shopping, I’m hoping that I could get hold of those yummy handbags & Shoes from Salvatore Ferragamo. I always have this mental image of me in Armani suit & Ferragamo leather. Yummy. Ha.ha.

Yeah, i know I’m being materialistic. Well hey, everyone are! So don’t be so naive & said, no- I’m selfless creature living in this world trying do goods to everyone. Everything is made up of matter. So you are saying you are not one? So what are you? Angel? LOL.

I am online window shopping again now & I come across Ferragamo’s Marisa shoulder bag. It looks normal but i LOVE it. I want, I want!

nyway, another reason Im going out today is to find another set of work-attire. I can’t seem to get the ONE. Ahhh.. how I wish I’m in KL right now! I will march to Raoul or Zara and buy their set of pinstripe suits & heaps of cotton long-sleeve shirts. Ahh! and perhaps I can drop by Godiva outlet & get myself a Godiva Belgian Blended. Seems that Pavilion has everything to offer for me because everything I want is THERE! Largest Forever 21 outlet in Malaysia (as compared to the one in 1Utama), Ferragamo, Marc Jacob, J.Co, Zara & even NICER GSC cinema. Of did I mention I went to watch movie there with the Singaporean guy & we really enjoyed the comfort of GOOD hospitality from the staff, COMFY seat but too bad, we watched sucky movie. So, yeah.

So my point here is, KK is the lousiest place to shop! Of course you can get good bargain here but most of the shop selling honk-y clothes. Not that I’m against Honk-y style or anything but I appreciate good quality stuff & craftmanship. I don’t mind paying hefty price for a bag or clothes as long as it is durable & one of the kind

Oh, and FINALLY! I managed to get a high-waisted skirt for a cheaper price than the one I saw in Warehouse, Bangsar Village 2. That one cost about 50 pounds? gosh! I got mine for less than a 100RM!

So now I’m a proud owner of high-waisted skirt! I can be the next Sarah Jessica Parker! Hahahahaha! Dream on.

Jessie & I went to the nearest Starbucks for a break from shopping frenzy. When we walked in to the outlet, I saw one HOT indian/multiracial guy with a laptop sitting alone outside. I saw him checking me out! and he saw me checking him out too! hahahha. He’s a total HOTTIE.

Support local product!

Yes, I’ve said it. The fact that I’ll be starting with a humble fixed income & I doubt that I’ll be able to control my purchasing plus other expenses (i.e. 1L=RM1.9; food; constant visit for my caramel machianto; yada yada). I’m currently thinking of how am I going to handle my financial & still able to save some every month.

Anyway, I went out with Jessie yesterday. She picked me up & we headed to the postgraduate centre in the local university because she needs to register for this new semester. Then we headed to the City Mall to try out something different to eat. When we reached there, the Japanese restaurant closed! dang! In the end we ate at the fast food & cursing about it. We should just go to the Warisan as there would be more variety there.

Anyway, after quick lunch, trying out some donuts and sipping latte & talk for hours, we drove to another new mall that I never been to; the new Asia City. We went there to buy my work attire & checking out shops. Sadly, I think 70% of the shops there are still empty w/o any tenants. I can see there is a couple of new shops such as Lewre which having like 50% sale until CNY! But, they only have the last seasons which explains the 50% discount. LOL.

I managed to squeeze in a greyish stripes of sweater that I bought from another local (but trying to look international with pan-Asian as their model, you know which one I’m talking about) store for yes, another 50% discount. So instead of paying for 109RM, I bought it for 54.9RM. LOL.

I feel like shopping again. ah. I just hope Raoul will open their stores in KK. and Forever 21 too. and Zara. and Robinson. and ISetan. and Gucci. and Armani Exchange. and sooo many moreeee. I miss shopping! seriously. and I need that cashmere sweater from Zara. argh! In the mean time, I have to shop locally.

P/s: ah… i need my dose of godiva. I’m having lindt now. hmmm.
