5.00 am - Finally, it's our last day in Sabah. We woke up at 5 am to watch sunrise. Unfortunately, there was too much cloud in the sky that morning, its quite hard for us to see a beautiful sunrise. We waited until 6.45 am only the sun rose completely. After so many shot
s, we went for our breakfast, except for the guys, they went back to sleep.
7.00 am - I have to say the owner of the restaurant don't know how to do business. The breakfast supposed to be F.O.C. but they type in the price of the dishes in the breakfast menu. Since it is free, of course everyone will choose the most expensive dish. Therefore, all of us ordered the same dish, American breakfast.
10.00 am - After enjoying our breakfast, we check-out and went to a tamu ground nearby to browse for fruits. We saw many weird fruits that can only be found in Borneo. One of the most famous fruit is buah tarap. It is similar with cempedak ( Jack fruit ) but it tastes differently. Next is cheese fruit. It tastes like very thick, creamy sweet potato. well, we don't really like the taste hehehe. They also have wild rambutans and wild durians with different flavour which differs with their flesh colour. For example, durian with orange fruit will taste like peanut butter! Imagine that! You are eating a durian but it tastes like peanut butter LOL... There were many wild berries like raspberry hahaha... Then, there is also unpolished mountain rice which is found in black and brown in colour. These rice are not cheap. A small packet costs RM10.00.
Tarap
Buah Keju
12.00 am - We went to Tamparuli to try their egg noodle. Egg noodle means the noodles are made from eggs. There are two kinds, fried egg noodle and egg noodle with soup. People in Sabah have a very special taste in eating soup noodles. They will add white vinegar into the soup. I tried to add some into my soup. Actually, it is not so bad after all.
Later, Mary Ann and James took us to a very old bridge. The bridge is built by the British and it is a very strong bridge. However, due to the height of the land, the bridge will always flooded whenever there is heavy rain. Plus, the bridge only allows one way direction. If there is a car coming from the other side. The car from this side have to stop and wait for the other to use the bridge first. Due to this matter. They built a hanging bridge for the cyclists and pedestrian, mostly students who need to cross the river during rainy seasons.
3.00 pm - We went to Inanam to try their famous ice coffee. The coffee over there is self-brewed and it is served in Tiger bottle LOL... Everyone is like drinking beer. Other than ice coffee, they are also famous of their home-made buns. They have red bean, kaya with butter, peanut and santan. The coffee was quite nice. It's not too bitter and not too sweet. At that moment, I thought that bottle of coffee can make me feel energetic. However, it don't. It don't have any effect on me. I'm still sleepy! As for the buns, I prefer the red bean bun hehehe...
Mr. Ravi, left his handphone in the van when we went for rafting in the second day, and so we have to meet up with the driver to take his phone back swt... Troublesome Ravi....
5.30 pm - We collected Ravi's phone and reach Kota Kinabalu Airport and more pictures were taken. In the airport, at a corner, we quietly opened our tarap and ate it LOL... That place was recommended by James as his previous customer ate their tarap there also LOL... Finally, it's time for us to bid goodbye.
7.15 pm - This time, our airplane meal contain Kit-kat instead of Ferrerorocher haiz....
10.30 pm - We were back in KLIA. Leong Jin's parents and Jie Qi came to pick us up. Well, Jie Qi turned at the wrong corner in the middle of the journey and they got back to Leong Jin's about midnight. I'm so glad that I'm following Leong Jin's parents LOL.....

Mary Ann and James told us many interesting stories and their powerful testimony. After hearing their testimony, it made me feel even stronger that we have to have faith in our God. Our God is the Almighty and nothing is impossible in God's eyes.
Well, James told us that he is a buffet, a mixture of Chinese, Mongolian, German, French and Murut. When I told my parents about it my father said actually we aren't pure Chinese too. My father's grandmother's mother is a Portuguese! That explains why some of the Foo family members have curly hair when the rest have straight hair and the brownish colour of my hair LOL... Unfortunately, we didn't inherit her beautiful eyes hahahaha....
