Kudat Field Trips Part II
Hello everyone, I'm just back from Kudat.
Ahhh...what an experiences I had way back from that place....tired yet so many sweet and great memories I'd gain from the trip fields and it's all with my fellow classmate. Cheers to all memories!
Okay on the way to our first destination, well you know how everybody was really excited about it.... some of my classmate even bought a guitar and play it along the journey. Well actually I never thought she was good in playing the guitar. Yup SHE. Who can resist good music from your friends and fall asleep? The journey to our firt destination takes about 2 hour from Kota Kinabalu. Thats a really long journey you know. As far as I remember, there's like three bus for this trip and of course DTM and DHM must stick together, right?
Okay back to topics, first destination was the Gombizou Honeybee Farm located in Matunggong, Kudat. You can read about this place in Sabah Tourism webpage. Sorry no picture for but I promise I'll include some picture later. We've some research by interviewing the people who manage the honeybee farm...the thing makes me itchy about this place was all the bees surrounding the lady who demonstrate about the honey-making...Ha I shoot some picture and run away from that place. Same goes to my sister too, we really hate bugs and all that stuff since we're little kid.
There's also honey that already been process and sold around....I think the big bottle was RM100, medium sized bottle was RM32 and the small one was RM14. After the honeybee, we went to the house where they present us their traditional dance called "Mogigol dance". And guest what I got the chance dancing with them. Although its a little embarassing, but hey let just think this way, the next time go there you won't be to dance with them because all the dancer ...in their golden age. So its worth it.
Next, we went to our second destination which are the great Gong Makaing Factory which was the place for the Rungus people makes it muscial instrument which played durinf festivities and even weddings. According to the villagers, the place has been part of World Record which I think really amazing. Such a cultural and tradition that still exist till today and still continuing the great living tradition from the past.
This place located not far from the Gombizou Honeybee Farm where it only takes about 5 minutes from there.Before we leave, they present us with 2 traditional dances which are the " Manaradan" and "Mogigol" at the Sumangkap Village community Hall. Same with the previous one but just a bit different actually. Then we went to another house where Ms Rohana demonstrate on how to make the gong. She brief us all about 15 minutes on how to measure the surface before you actually can knock it, how many inches for the center ( its 3 inches for sure..). She said that it takes about 3 days to get the goong-making done. So its kinda a lot of work you know. All the goong are label acccording to numbers. We also went to the biggest goong (20 feet high) and its was really awsome.
We take a lot of picture with friends plus the goong itself. So great that the big goong will never fall down when there's strong wind blowing it.( except for apocolypse I think) Fun moment!
Next destination, we went to the Bavanggazoo(Rungus Longhouse), a very long house made of natural material such as bamboo and some straw. Funny things happen here, when we first arrive at the place we found the right longhouse, but somebody I don't know who,Shout from the back of our group and told us we get the wrong longhouse, we supposed to climb the hill 10 minutes away from that place to get to the right place. So we all climb the hill but I run....
You should look at my face....tired but fun too.
At the longhouse, I take some picture of the Rungus people selling some cultural bracelet and stuff. GORGEOUS
The door if you pay a visit to the place, you'll notice that the doors or the rooms names are labels according to birds name. I was attracted to this traditional puzzle for the Rungus but I don't even remember the name the people told that once this game was take serious for the women ONLY in the village where if they cannot solve the puzzle, they won't be able to get married. Hmmm....interesting. But my future doesn't depend on that thing for god sake!
And yes, they present with similar dance and some my friends are dancing too but one thing for sure attract when the old lady present a song by playing the flutes using her nose. Yes, her NOSE!!! She played graceful and delicated. I was like amaze by that, well some my friend are asleep (silly pig...
).
We can't get to Tamu Kudatbecause we're running out off time. Ngeh...
Next stop, Our resting place...its not some fancy hotel or something but good enough for us to sleep in. This what people said " back to basic" hehehehe
. Okay I was group with my sister and two friends ( Micheal L. and Marilyn K.)which I think really great because their really nice people. 3 hour rest fine with me but I don't know the other including my sister. We then at 7.30p.m played a game ( passing puzzle )which was so....okay so lame but quite fun if you played with all total 70 plus of student in one night!
There few student incharge in this game where a cup of glass full of water was passing around in a circle of student with some music playing. And if the music stop or the water from the glass splash when you trying passing it, you'll get some punishment that totally embarrasing you. Ha ~~ I've once get the punishment by shuffling in front of everybody. But not for this trip! No way!
Funny thing was there's a girl were been punish by counting all the star and you know what she kept counting it. Hello ~~ just say crazy things like its has 8 billion star or something but she kept counting, counting and counting. Good luck with that! I'm really hungry at the time so I was just going with the flow.
After activity has ended, some student went into their room and some stil hanging around or having late night snack or something. Micheal went to dinner with Ah Tee and Vincent and my sister are just went straight back to our room. As for me, I went to department store with my friend Marilyn K. I bought food some cup instant noodles for me and my sister and for the dessert, just cocoa pie are enough good enough for your hungry little tummy!
Same goes to Marilyn K.
15 minutes after we came back to our room, we eat and done some talk in our room. Girls talk! Then Micheal and the boys went to the room which makes me quite suprised! Dull moment arose so us girl put make up to those 2 boys. Well the boys look so funny when their in make up especially Vincent whose face really looks like a girl!! All I can says was he's face looks pretty ugly but cute.
Surely I had lot of fun that night....in a good way of course!
It was fun and tiring, so I slept early eventhought I actually can't sleep over there....

The day before the trip Part I
Hello readers! Well just an update for today.... I mean the day before our MS study trip to Kudat( Tip of Borneo). Well this is might be the last trip for me with the rest of the classmate of DTM/DHM 05/09 but I will reminisces every single great moment of it. Or maybe not...
My sister is sick so she can't go to college for today...so today it's only me alone .....Okay,tomorrow field trip, long day and ha...guest what everybody, I've already packs all necessary things for the trip too! Since this will a 2 days and 1 night trip only, I've decided to bring just a few clothes and notes for our research later. Of course not just clothes but other small things too ( you what I mean).Hopes its not going to rain because I'll have my handmade Teru Teru Bozu with me....
Well we all had been given a brief about this trip twice...yup TWICE to make sure that everything will be going smooothly during the entire field trip. On the 2nd meeting, we've been given a schedule for the trip with I think it was really rushing though.

Sport really kick your ass!!
Hello readers! 5 plain days has gone and how I miss to write my story for you guys! Well, I had a amazing week which I thought on the first place " Hmm...another plain day of the week" Ha! guest what? Its not that bad after all. Well our college had participate for joining the Sports organized for all the IPTS college in Sabah. There's so many college paticipate in this big event ( I called this great event because I myself never had a chance to represent my alma mater)Well remember in my previous post says I'm worrying about the Ping-pong club and all the problems ? Yup, This post is the continue's some part of it. Back to the topic, the event was organized for 3 days (29th until 31st) and the 1st day was my match with other college. With all cool kids from 6 college not to mention that most them was cute chinese kids, the match went pretty well actually. Moreover, when I see them ,... gosh they more than a pro!!Its like, they play it simple.
You know what I mean...As for our college, well we only manage to get bronze( 3rd place ) for sure but hey, everyone try their best, just had fun no stress. The score are not that bad either thats for plus! So I really proud of my team.
At least we're having fun during the match. Since ping-pong match was on same time with badminton match, we heard news that not all team are winning and only the mixed group manage get to the final. On the 2nd day of match, well we become the supporters of the day!!
Great experience though....great experience because when I was in my alma mater, I never get the chance watching my school sport or representing one ( I used to think sport makes me feel itchy). I just can't to see basketball team to show their flaw on... hey I'm not really a big fan, but some of my classmate ( Vincent, Chua Hong Tee, Gary Ting )were playing and want I want to support them! GO TEAM ATIC! Ha...its funny when we went there to support them, we seems lost. And by lost I mean we had to see the scoreboard just to know who's actually win the game. Another team supporters just straightly shout out loud once the ball fall into the ring.....ngeh! One comments from my friends says that " Our cheerleader really are slow" and laugh at us
....hehehehe One thing that I don't like about this game is...some of the player just play rough on our team player... FYI one the player from another college scratch my friends face withour even feel a little guilty! DAMN YOU!!The good news is....our college manage to get gold medal which really makes us feel very happy and proud.
Well everyone play with effort and extra practice on their last training.
As for the volleyball team, well they may be lose for the semifinal but at least I can see team-work among the team players. My friend Jojo...whoa this is the first time I see her put a lot of effort in something!
Even our senior Ms Mas was good too!Next, on the 3rd day or final day of the event, nothing much I guest...the closing event there wasn't so many players of our college come to celebrate the day because of all tiredness come at the end of the day....of course there so many thing happens om the 3rd day but as for me I really need a rest for 2 days.....but not!!
Oh yeah, our badminton mixed group finally get the bronze for our college sake!! Yes I know, sounds like loser who had just won a 5 dollar or something but hey...the feeling is GREAT!!
I don't have the chance to celebrate Halloween or get some candy from house to house but sport event on Halloween wasn't a bad idea after all...just combo of Halloween and sports and some medal of course..so much thing going on and I really enjoy every single moment of it...even I'm really tired and my foot are killing me! I went home eat my lunch
and straightly go to sleep Thats all for now everyone , had to go for assignment!
P.S did I mention that I got backache after the event ended and my sister really had a bad cold? Well Sometimes Sports really kick your ass too!
