Balik Kampung
This year is balik kampung for Kota Kinabalu. Every year, me and my wife will alternate for balik kampung between Kota Kinabalu and Kota Bahru.
For Kota Kinabalu usually we will go for balik kampung for 2 weeks. This time from 2nd May till 15th May 2022.
Usually we took Malindo to go to KK as the flight tickets were reasonable with ample leg room but this year we took Malaysia Airlines (MAS) because Malindo flight were fully booked.

Y2022 Raya
This year was really packed, and we had our last vacation with our aunty Bongsu. She was able to enjoy Karambunai beach before passing away on 15th May 2022 around 11:20PM.
All the families were sad with her sudden demise.
