m!3: A memorable trip...

After reunion dinner the night before Chinese New Year, I sure had a plan for CNY since I’m not home for this celebration. Some of my course mates and I planned to go to Kudat, one of an attractive place in SABAH. We start our journey at 11 o’clock. There were 8 of us going.

Let me give you guys a piece of an advice. Remember to go to toilet before you start any of your journeys in Sabah. The road from one place to another is very long, and you can hardly see a ‘rumah rehat’ or even a toilet. Usually the journey is more than 3 hours, and all around you are trees and bushes. So, better go before it’s too late…

Back to the trip, we reached Kudat at almost 3 o’clock. Since it’s first day of CNY, most of the shops didn’t open for business. Luckily there is one KFC there, so our lunch was KFC. Before that, I forgot to mention, we did stop at a ‘long house’, the traditional house of the Sabahan and Sarawakian.

Actually we need to pay in order to have a look, but since we asked a lot of question regarding a home stay there, the people let us in to have a look and take photographs (this is a great idea to get a ‘free’ trip… hehehe…). So after our KFC, we checked-in into one hotel. I’m sharing a room with May Chin (have to ‘ma poh’ with her). Then we headed for the ‘Tip of Borneo’ or in malay ‘Simpang Mengayau’. The journey took around one hour plus. I slept during the journey there. The road there was not tar completely and certain parts of the roads were only small rocks. So the journey was quite ‘rocky’ and luckily I was asleep, if not sure have headache.

We reached the Tip at about 5. The view was amazing. It was really beautiful and magnificent. I was really attracted by the beautiful scene there. The only thing I don’t like it there was the strong wind which blows my hair like crazy people. At around 6 plus, I managed to watch the beautiful sunset. The sun was like the egg yolk of the duck’s egg. The scene was really romantic for couples. After that, we went for dinner. That dinner really cost us a lot as we went during 1^st day of CNY. Each and every one of us needs to pay RM 15 although we don’t really order much. Then, we headed back to ‘oik oik’… hehehe…

The next day, we had our breakfast before we checked out. The ‘char siew pau’ there was not bad, because I really never tried a delicious ‘char siew pau’ in Sabah. After that, we went to the bee farm. It was my bad hair day because I was stung by a bee, somewhere near my left eye. Luckily I don’t have a swollen eye but it was really painful. We also went to the ‘gong making village’. They have a name for the kampung but I forgot what was it already. After visiting all these places, our final destination was of course U.M.S.
