I'm a UMS student.. in my 4th year... and in this more than 3yrs leaving in Sabah, everything has been changing rapidly at F1 speed, yah I know.. Sabahan are superbly amazingly slow at everything and easy going.. but this rapid development could largely be due to increase in peninsular guys comin over to sabah... plus, sabah is not so boring afterall!! Sabah airasia airport is bigger and posh than LCCT KL... sabah has its own specialities!!! and the nightlife... i wud say i prefer it here more than it is in KL!! bcoz all the clubs over here houses live bands!! and they're so good at what they do!! they make u shake better than any DJs cud!!.. and 1Borneo.. the largest lifestyle hypermall in east msia... is damn cool man.. its as big as Mvalley... but way cooler!! <BR/>finally, UMS.. that was a very unfair intro! UMS won 3times in a row for having the best landscape in university in South East asia!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21960968.post-61941380292786261932008-05-24T17:19:00.000+08:002008-05-24T17:19:00.000+08:00KK is growing LOLGrowball is moving to palm square...KK is growing LOL<BR/>Growball is moving to palm square soon enough, there's a KK times square, KK city mall, Suria Sabah, The Mall and ONE BORNEO (the coolest, greatest hyper mall which is closest to UMS)!!!!<BR/><BR/>Besides Damai, pretty girls and handsome guys also gather @ City Mall(located along lintas highway) at night to EAT (I guess..LOL) since many restaurants are located there >_<Nettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00929414744496824385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21960968.post-35788522533744280452007-10-27T03:27:00.000+08:002007-10-27T03:27:00.000+08:00I think you have to update those information you p...I think you have to update those information you posted. Sabah is getting more and more developed, so does UMS. We still don't have a KFC outlet inside our campus, however you still can get your fastfood from the nearest Mc D at the petrol station here, only if you possess your own transportation. Otherwise call for your order, but you won't get the prompt delivery from the nearest branch... You will know when you are here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21960968.post-41453112069567643002007-10-04T03:09:00.000+08:002007-10-04T03:09:00.000+08:00At damai aka 88, there is a shop named "Fok Yuen",...At damai aka 88, there is a shop named "Fok Yuen", veli popular with the "roti kahwin"(bread with magarine n kaya)...very popular til lot's of Hong Kong celebrities came before...<BR/>A new opening branch at Asia City Complex...<BR/><BR/>Update some info !!<BR/>include Warisan Square, City Mall, Gaya Street, Bukit Padang(the tau fu fah is so Nice), n Waterfront!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21960968.post-1162492876157371522006-11-03T02:41:00.000+08:002006-11-03T02:41:00.000+08:00"Per capita" used wrongly.

In fact UMS doesn't even have enough canteens to feed its hungry students and staff... A mamak restaurant is like the BEST thing we have here not counting the supposedly high class restraurant we have in the twin tower.<BR/><BR/>One more thing, UMS can't provide hostel to all of its student. So unless you're a president of the student body or a well known member of the student body or a well know top class student be prepared to get kicked out of your residential college on you second year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21960968.post-1153140868271578872006-07-17T20:54:00.000+08:002006-07-17T20:54:00.000+08:00Cupid9 - sorry but I have to correct you on this. ...Cupid9 - sorry but I have to correct you on this. It is not RM1000/room but should be around RM1000/house. And this is very dependent on which part of Kingfisher you are renting your house or room. Rental of a house in Kingfisher could start as low as RM800/house and up to around RM1600/house. The normal rate for a double room is around RM200-RM300 depending on room size while the rate of a single room is around RM130-RM180 and the rate for master bedroom is around RM300-RM400. Again all this depends on location of the house and area in Kingfisher.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21960968.post-1153140596877572942006-07-17T20:49:00.000+08:002006-07-17T20:49:00.000+08:00maybe u shud write something about labuan campus a...maybe u shud write something about labuan campus also next time since there are so much misconception bout the labuan campus also...<BR/><BR/>I still remember that during this recent orientation, I was part of the welcome team that takes the students from the airport to the UMS KK campus and when we told them it was a 3 hour journey from the airport (its actually around 30min only..) the look of horror on their face was so funny but of coz after that we told them it was just a joke... But it is true that people do believe it when we say that those people in the more interior parts of sabah such as timbua live on trees...<BR/><BR/>About labuan campus, it is basically a very beautiful campus where you have the best view of sunset. Besides that, the size of the campus allows students to be on time to lectures even though they wake up 10 min before lecture starts (this is proven as I have try it before). Labuan is the best place for those who enjoy booze and quiet pace life and for a student it is quite good because lack of night entertainment helps in concentrating in studies...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21960968.post-1153017448592006712006-07-16T10:37:00.000+08:002006-07-16T10:37:00.000+08:00Hi Ben, FYI, there's no summer or winter in Malays...Hi Ben, FYI, there's no summer or winter in Malaysia. Being the second largest state in Malaysia, Sabah's weather is same as most of the places in Malaysia, <I>hot and rainy</I> throughout the year i.e. we call it the <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equator#Equatorial_climate" REL="nofollow">equatorial climate</A>.<BR/><BR/>Height of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah? I guess it's 2 or 3 metres above the sea level. Are you actually asking the height of Mount Kinabalu which is the highest peak in South East Asia? It's 4095 metres high.<BR/><BR/>And for your last question, it's MYR1000.00 (in Malaysian currency) per <strike>room</strike> house as clearly stated in the post above. ;-)<br /><br />Update: Correction made.

I am not kidding.<BR/><BR/>Chocolates here are cheap too. Basically, it's a slower town than KK (and that's saying a lot) so don't expect much...if any, sort of nightlife or entertainment. Just sit back, enjoy the booze and study.Reign226https://www.blogger.com/profile/08994162636888832045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21960968.post-1150726840999793652006-06-19T22:20:00.000+08:002006-06-19T22:20:00.000+08:00i've got accepted into UMS but labuan campus...any...i've got accepted into UMS but labuan campus...any idea what it's like over there...people said the city is "DEAD"...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21960968.post-1150281603119655542006-06-14T18:40:00.000+08:002006-06-14T18:40:00.000+08:00Thats an interesting way to introduce Kota Kinabal...Thats an interesting way to introduce Kota Kinabalu,<BR/><BR/>"A few years ago there were a few pretty serious crimes involving illegals but the situation has calmed down a lot recently.
