A few days ago, I was driving in town and needed to go to the mall. I was stuck in the jam for too long and decided to take a break from the bad traffic. Decided to pull over an empty parking lot just to kill time and maybe get something to drink while I was at it. As I was parking, I realized that the old seafood restaurant ballroom doors were opened and decided to go and check it out.
Few years ago, my friend got married and held their grand dinner there and the place was nicely done with proper lighting, cold air conditioning, clean and it was really a nice venue that could have so much possibilities. However, I knew that not too long after, word on the street was that the establishment was sold to a foreign buyer for an extensive amount and ever since, I've never really bothered to go back.
Well, a friend of mine who runs a fight gym here in Kota Kinabalu told me he had just held a MMA competition there and he expressed that the venue was in a really sorry state. Not too sure why the fighting octagon was left there but I guess it will get sorted out soon enough. So without keeping you in suspense, here are the pictures below:
After my inspection, I was really gutted to see the place in that condition. No air conditioning, lights, sound system, tables, chairs, the toilets were unusable and unbearable as water has been cut off (use your imagination) and I think the venue now has squatters living in it as well. I hope that someday, it will be done up nicely again and it will be nice to be able to use for the local community. The location in really ideal because it is in town and the transportation hub is just a few minutes walk away. I would really love to run events there. For now, I can only hope and pray that it will be operational soon. Sorry if this isn't a happy, positive post if you were expecting one.
Sayang o.
