BKI with Love.


Kota Kinabalu or BKI, will always hold a special place in my heart. I've so many happy memories there. It's where I started my life. I was posted there to operate both the 737 & Fokker routes throughout Sabah and Sarawak.


I remember going to BKI with only RM400 in my hand but full of anticipation and excitement. Even then, I knew it was going to be a life changing experience. And it was. BKI had made me who I am today. I'm positive, if I didn't go to BKI, today I'd be today's average superficial and supercilious person. In BKI, I learned that it's not what you wear or what you do that counts. It's who you are is what really matters. And I hold that with me till today.

During my stay in BKI, I had made some life long friends, had the best conversation of my life, learned to connect with people, learned about life, gained wonderful experiences and met my true love. It was so laid back there, there was no feeling of urgency whatsoever. The sky was always blue. The people always friendly. The scenery always beautiful. The day stretched forever. It felt like being in a dream.


If I could go back to one point in time to relive my life, I'd chose to start again from the time I was in BKI. It was where I felt truly free. It was where this once child woman actually became a full fledged grown up. KK, you have my everlasting love. You'll always be my home away from home.

halogamora,
fall in love dgn KK bukan dgn datok K ye...takut org misinterpret kang nanti :P. U should go since your the sporty sort. Boleh panjat gunung, boleh pi white water rafting, boleh pi snorkeling...mcm-mcm aktiviti kat sana. It's absolutely beautiful there.

Ya, KK is a beauty place and people there are more friendly than people in KL.

Great to hear you found your true love over there.

azahar, BKI:KK, KUL:KUL LHR:LON hehehe...call it a job hazard if you may. lol. Yup, definitely wonderful.

hui sia, the people are definitely friendlier. Even the illegal philipinos are friendlier than the illegal indons & banglas here. lol. I remember I used to supply nasi lemak for 2 whole week to 2 philipine construction workers so they would let us sneak into the then uncompleted sutera harbour to do some fishing. lol.
