'K' Stands for Kundasang ! Part II
Okay, so another post about 'K'. Well the next day of the trip which on Dec 19th, 2010....hm ~ nothing much happen. It's 7.05am and Gerard cell phone started to ring out loud makes me want to crash it with my cold bare hand( but no, to lazy for that of course...early in the morning I supposed) when I look out the window, Mala and Esther has already wake up from their bed and I heard something from them but not really clear....oh well whatever ~~
I straightly went to the bathroom to have my morning shower and the water at first was really COLD like ICE!! BRRRrrrr....Then suddenly the water turns out became really hot and I was really shock. As if I was bathing in hot boiled water. God this really killing me. I don't care and no choice but just straightly had to continue bathing. The bathroom situated in front of the Livingroom and when I went out lucky for me there was only my sister watching her favourite T.V show and perhaps just ignore me. I just smiled silently....(crazy...)
Later I found out that our friend Mr John Chin actually in early morning he was knocking each and everyones room with an intention to invite us go for a jog around the area...okay. FYR, the place that we stay ws really like ....maybe 20 minutes away from another stay-in or villa by car.... Well I'm to damn tired all those trip on the previous day.
Maybe next time...
Here's the map
I don't don't really exactly know about the entire area was but I'm pretty sure it was like this ...( pretty ugly huh..) Oh well looks like he had to do it alone I guest. Then my friend Esther, calling us for breakfast from the next door. But unfortunately not everyone was ready so I and my twins go with her to the Villa's main cafeteria and sat down searching for the waiter or waitress. American breakfast anyone? Just what I need to strengthen my weak energy ( ...the taste of sausage kinda like " off Beat"?)
Everyone was looks very tired during those hour and sleepy too! How I wish I had a camera so I can capture every funny moment when we were there. Since we had to pay for the transportation, we had to prepared some expenses so the bus driver would take us all back to K.K ( our home sweet home). Since it was going to rain that day, Mr J.C said that he had to cancelled our trip to Kinabalu National Park and when I heard that I was quite sad though because this were my first trip to Kundasang and I don't get the chance to visit some places that I want to go. That's okay but still dissapointed...
Mr J.C might trying to cheer everyone but stopping by at the edge of high hill 30 minutes from the villa's. Funny thing when we made it at the hill everyone was taking picture together and leave Mr J.C behind ....hahaha poor him ~
10 minutes break and we finally take off to K.K, right where we belong!!
Trivia
- At first, everyone felt that this trip might not as good as the previous trip
- On our way to Kundasang, we came accross to accident where one which a car overturned and a truck that skidded off street, everyone was suprised but not the bus driver
- At poring, I saw a boy peeing in a pool which I think and feel bad for all the tourist who went inside the same pool
- That night, our dinner was chicken barbeque marinated with chicken sauce and such but funny things are...the taste seem a little bit sour!! Everyone thought it was the 'chef' fault but actually it's not
- Mr J.C saw a wooden insect which makes me screamed out loud and was really shock! Well he teach me and Gary Ting on how to get closer with the nature but Ting VS me, congratulation Gary Ting, you've won ( I run..)
- Same time at night, everyone was trilled with happy hour I supposed but we played the game called 'Truth or dare' turned out it was not really that fun at all
- Next visit to the hill, when everyone was ready for photo shoot with beautiful view at our back, later afterwards. the very strong wind and misty mist coming out from nowhere suddenly cover the view which makes everyone gone mad!! Mr J.c don't know what to do...
And yes, that's the end of the trip ~ Well pretty exciting huh?

'K' Stands for KUNDASANG! Part I
Hello readers! Another post about my trip with friends but this time free from all rules and lecturer! Ha~ Okay, here's the story...
Date:
18th - 19th December 2010
Place:
Kundasang, Desa Farm, Kundasang War Memorial, Hot Spring
Trip's members:
Esther Donny, Judy Bea Wong(Judy), Georgianne George (Jojo), Sharon Lentz, Azmi, Gary Ting Kha King (Ting), Noralawaiyah (Mala), Fransisca Robert, Gerard Jerome (J.j), Siti Fatimah (Fatim), Siti Sahara (sara), Al-Nasdin ( Nash)
Dec 18th Day of the trip
Really a "blockbuster" trip for me coz it was my first time having a trip to Kundasang with my twins and all my friends. Well to be honest, me and my twin ever did a trip to Kundasang. Yup not even with our family as financial crisis always landed in our family.
Okay, first thing me and my twins do was ....of course waiting for others to come but since we come at 5:30am in the morning, we went to coffeeshop nearby and have a little hot drinks and talk about what we're going to do when we reach our destination. The departure time for this trip was actually at 7:30am but turned out that after waiting the others to come ( who's late...) we finally depart at 9:30am. Great! What a waste of time.
There's only about 13 people going to this trip which include the 2 of us. We're really excited as the scenery was really amazing! So all the remaining hour inside the van we busy admiring the beauty of nature and have fun moment together. The bus driver told us that Mount Kinabalu has it own uniqueness, legends and superstitious. He said that the early Kadazan/Dusun also used to believe that when a person dies, the soul will go up to Mount Kinabalu for R.I.P. It is therefore advisable that whenever one wants to climb the mountain, an offering must be made to the ‘pogigion’ or those dwellers around Kinabalu or something bad will befall on you ( Hmm...really?). I don't know about that but my mom used to told me not to say anything about going up there because the sprit would come to know of my intention and something terrible might happen.
“When you are climbing,” she said, “You must walk silently. Do not pluck anything or those dwellers will follow you home and make you sick”.
( mom used to climb the mmountain too)
My friend, Nash ( Al-Nasdin) were an international student ( from Philipines) was really excited after hearing about the tradition in Sabah, well since this was his first time too! Well I'm not really believe in superstitious or such but sometimes it's really attach to your way of living....sort of Karma I guest. So we stop for a while in Pekan Nabalu for short break and anyone who wish for photoshoot are welcome here.
First destination Poring Hot Spring which located approximately 47KM away from Kinabalu National Park passing through Kundasang and Ranau and guest what...the name Poring, stands for the tall bamboo plant that is abundant in that area. Whoa! Well since it's holiday, the place was really crowded with kids, tourist and of course teens like me....God, Save me!
What I don't like about that place during the were some old men with a bunch of kids who act like as if they were single again. Yikes! And a Korean mom yelling at her children which I think " poor kid". Some of our friends ( Judy and Esther)went for a swim, Gary Ting and Nash....I don't know where they going, Jojo, Lentz, and Azmi ...well eating lunch I guest. And lastly me and my twins with other 3 friends ( Mala, Fransisca, and Gerard) went to stroll the entire area of swimming pool.( Google the place you know the swimming area was not the kind that you got at home.
We manage take a few photo's
Well I can say was the first destination was not really a great place but pretty amazing though.
.....
Are you there? Okay.
On our next trip to 2nd destination, we stop by at a small market near Ranau to buy some goodies for us. And by goodies I mean food for vegan and non-vegan. So fresh and delicious too. Oh did I mention that we went there by using 2 van instead of 1? Yup, now you know.
Alright, another pit stops for us was near the Kundasang War Memorial ....we had to wait for another 6. While we wait, I notice that the place was getting colder and colder but the scenery was really great. And better I tell you! So many pine tree grew over here which are rare in South East Asia.15 minutes of waiting finally they arrived. Then my friend, Mala suggest that we better go to top of the hill where there's another tourist attraction which are the Desa Dairy Farm Kundasang. I was like ....WHAT!! But this place really a great place and I myself recommend you guys readers to go there if you have some time.
Desa Dairy Farm - the largest in Sabah with an area of 199 hectares, is located at the Mesilau Plateau, Kundasang about 30 minutes drive from Mt.Kinabalu National Park. The green meadows stretching all over the area was so refreshing at 2100 meters above sea level. We arrived just in time for the milking process. Hundreds of cows were rounded up for milking.
It was amazing that to see cows lining up or rather queuing up to the milking station without being guided. They knew exactly what to do!
And for the record, not just cows, but you also can see horses in here too!
My friends bought a few packages of this milk for home
Yes of course we take some picture of us
That's all of us hehehe
Look at those cows at the back...HA! they surely had good time too!
After a good long hours in Desa Dairy Farm and a few photos, we went back down the hill and directly toward the 3rd stop in our trip which are and finally the Kundasang War Memorial. The Kundasang War memorial was split into 4 garden - the Australian Garden, the English Garden, the Borneo Garden and the Contemplation Garden Pool.
Check it out!
Joyful moment
Before I continue, please grab some snack and drinks and enjoy the post. During the day we had so much fun, everyone was tired, so we went to our place of stay which are D'Villa Rina Ria Lodge, Kinabalu Park ~ Kundasang...That place was really COLD!! Okay I'm a girl who live in a tropic country and going to somewhere cold really doesn't suits me well...(Mommyyyy...) Ngeh...guest no choice after all.
Same room with my twins sister, we're very lucky our bed are much bigger than the 3 of our friends..hehehehe
Dinners was prepared by our friend Gary Ting, who handles all the chicken and sausages helped by Azmi, hmm...loyal friends I guest. Poor Gary Ting that he had to face the heat as well.
Ha ~ when everybody was preparing for dinner, suddenly our lecturer a.k.a friend pop out in the middle of us and I was really suprised when I look at him. They said he's been cycling from K.K to Kundasang. WHOA!!
And yes we had dinner together, jokes, drinks, and everything... really fun though. Usually the only entertainment for me was reading books and singing inside my bedroom but actually it take more than that. Thanks to all my friends. Joy moment will not last forever but the memories surely does. Me and my twins went to bed at 1:30am in the morning.
