Guess who's birthday is this Friday?

It's the lovely, the fun, the ever vibrant, our beloved KK City's 12th birthday :)

If you're in town, and you're staying with us, hop onto our Shuttle Bus to Centre Point, and with less than 15 minutes walk, you'll reach a stretch of exciting activities at the Waterfront Esplanade :)

What's happening? 

There will be tons of people that's for sure, exhibitions, stalls with all sorts of goodies and performances by local artistes. Be ready to mingle, have fun and bask in the love of KK's warm Sabahan hospitality.

Where? 

Waterfront Esplanade @ KK. The stretch should start/ end from Warisan Square.

When? 


3rd February, 2012 (Friday), 5.30pm onwards.

How to go? 


Take the bus of course! If you're staying with us, be informed that our bus transports from the hotel at 9.00am, 11.00am, 1.00pm, 3.00pm and 5.00pm. Other alternatives would be to take the City Bus. They're cheap, convenient, and hey you don't have to think about parking :) But say you do take the car, you can always opt to park around Warisan Square or Centre Point and do some healthy walking.

See you here! :)
