Wonderful Sabah Day 4

8/1/10
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....

Wonderful Sabah Day 3

7/1/10
8.15 am - We check-out from Likas Square Condotel and Mary Ann brought us to a place to have our breakfast, or else we have to have maggi as ou breakfast again LOL...
We had a bowl of noodle which we thought it was quite expensive at first coz it costs RM5.00. But then when they serve the noodles, we can't finish it hahahaha... As for Ravi, he went to bought 2 pieces of super hard ' yao cha guai ' and he ate them without coffee!



11.00 am - We arrive at Kinabalu National Park. We visited the exhibition hall first and Mary Ann showed us the various type of animals found in Mt. Kinabalu. James is an etnobotany and so he showed us many types of plants, herbs and poisonous plants. He also told us the functions of the plants. I have learnt a lot from there hehehe...Langkawi eagle pose LOL

2.00 pm - Actually, we planned to go to Poring hot Spring, but we decided to go to Sabah Tea and Luanti Fish Spa. In Sabah Tea, the owner showed us their tea processing factory. each and every step he explained to us as details as possible. However, we were only able to understand 50% hahaha.... Not that we didn't pay attention, is that the way he speak and his Sabahan slang made us confuse LOL...
Way to find out whether the tea is organic or not. First specimen: Organic Sabah Tea Second specimen: Tea + Sunscreen lotion Third specimen: Tea + iodine

Later, we went to Luanti Fish Spa. This fish spa is not like any normal fish spa we found in shopping mall with their small fishes. This fish spa is located at Sungai Moroli and their fishes are fishes from the river. Furthermore, the size of the fishes are huge! There are 2 types of fishes, the bigger fishes just suck on our fingers and hand while the smaller fishes will nible on our toes and feet searching for dead skins. It was very very very extremely 'geli'! Yi Ting was so scared until she cried hahahaha.... When we were about to leave, we saw a malay guy trying to put his naked son into the river, poor boy, he screamed and cried and he hold his father so tight. He just don't want to go into the water hahahaha...

Mary Ann and James told us so many interesting stories and all of us paid full attention to them. According to Mary Ann, if you wish to hear about the stories, please go and visit Sabah LOL...

5.00 pm - We checked in The Cottage Hotel and we had dinner in their restaurant. We chit-chat for so long until the waitress brought us the bill by herself LOL... Then, the waitress counted wrongly. We tried to calculate the correct figure to her but then she still stick to her bill. What to do, just pay what is written loh hahahaha...

Me, Jing Yee and Sam shared a room, See Ying, Yun Yih and Yi Ting shared a room, and Ravi and Leong Jin and Ravi shared another room. We watched movies and played choh dai de for the whole night and we slept around 3 something. We watched almost 3 to 4 movies LOL..8 person squeezed in 3 single beds!!! It's very uncomfortable to sleep like that T.T

Wonderful Sabah Day 2

6/1/10
8.30 am - We met Angelo, our raft master. He brought us to Kiulu for white water rafting. He was impressed by our creativeness LOL... We were afraid that our slippers will be drifted our by the river and so we tied our slippers with raffia strings LOL!!!

This bridge can only sustain 4 ppl

黑青一族


After all the snapping, we started our journey! Me, Yi ting, Ravi and Leong Jin was in Angelo's group, Yun Yih, See Ying, Jing Yee and Sam was in another group. Well, our raft master, Angelo was a very friendly and funny Filipino. During our journey, he tried to push me and Yi Ting into the water but he failed hahahaha... Until we reached a corner, he asked all of us to sit at one side, he said it was a strategy to go through the corner. However, we already knew his main motive. When we reached the corner, our raft started to tilt on the heavier side and we quickly lean forward and our raft went back to it's original position. Angelo's mission has failed LOL!!!! Among all of us, only Ravi fell into the water LOL!!!. None of us except for Ravi hahahaha.....We planned to push him into the water, but didn't expect him to fall into it hahahahaha!!!! After 2 hours, we finally finished our 10km journey. The bathrooms were still under renovation, because the old building was destroyed by flashfloods. Since the bathrooms were not completed yet, the bathrooms has no door.....So, its quite hard for us to take our bath. In our schedule, our lunch is supposed to be bbq. But then it turned up the other way round. We had our bbq, but there was already someone grilled for us, we just have to eat LOL... 3.00 pm - We went back to our hotel, Likas Square Condotel. Rest for a while and to enjoy the swimming pool! Ravi was been pushed into the pool by See Ying and Yi Ting LOL... pity Ravi...


8.00 pm- We ordered Pizza Hut as our dinner!
