Sabah Siri 3-finale


 This is Nik. coming in. over.....................................................beep.

Hi and Assalamualaikum. peeps.

this is one of the post I looked forward having fun writing about. I warn u. this post is going to be lengthy.

after a day in KK with no electricity.
the next morning, we woke up early and head to

KUNDASANG uolss.

1. because they said that the road is as horrible as the road up to Cameron, so I took two "motion sickness" drug when I was suppose to take only one.
Immediately right after we got into the car, I slept.
bukak pintu kereta> duduk> selesakan tempat duduk> tutup pintu> pakai seatbelt> tutup mata> tido> berdengkur> air liur meleleh. ok exaggeration.

2. I LITERALLY, cannot open my eyes.
on our way to Kundasang. we stopped at Rumah Terbalik. I think it costs us RM10 per head.

I did not rotate this. it is really terbalik.

Tuan Rumah

That is me. trying so hard to overcome my sleepiness. like really. I went to toilet twice to wash my face.


everything terbalik
3. As soon as we reached Kundasang, we have our lunch, where I had nescafe but still my dizziness wont go away, I was like sleep-walking&eating.

4. The first place we visited was Tagal. tempat seakan Fish Spa, cuma Fish dier tak secomel fish dkt fish spa KL.
entrance kena bayar jugak. makanan utk ikan pon ada, boleh purchase dkt entrance. nak masuk kena by group, so if you go there, beli utk semua org serentak. different group has different entrance time. 
you can stay up to 20 minutes in there.
5 minit pertama: sesi mencari courage utk mskkan kaki dlm air
5 minit kemudian: sesi tak tahan geli dgn ikan2 yg menjalar dkt kaki
10minit kemudian: sesi beranikan diri utk masukkan tangan pula
5 minit terakhir : sesi nak cuba angkat ikan tu dgn bare hands. sbb dh beranikan

semua aksi diatas adalah aksi kawan2 ku. sbb apa. sbb aku jadi photographer jer. Iolls is penakut with fish. siang ikan pon geli, inikan ikan hidup.



5. After Tagal, we went to Sabah Tea Plantation. for those yang kekurangan masa utk bersiar, I suggest Sabah Tea Plantation ni tak pergi pon takpe. BOH Plantation dkt Cameron is much better.
biasa jer tempat dier


6. Next stop is Kinabalu Park. we paid RM3 per head. 
disinilah Canopy Walk and Poring
kalau nak nasihat saya. masuk jer, terus pergi jalan dkt canopy walk. penatkan kaki.
then otw balik, masuk dlm air panas. sedap giler nak mati.
at the Poring, there are many different section
1st: Normal swimming pool
2nd: Hot water swimming pool
3rd: Tempat rendam kaki dalam air panas.

well. we were lazy enough to change our clothes, so we just went to rendam kaki. and stayed there for half an hour.

I tell u man. honestly. those hot water really work.
on our back to our hotel, segala angin dlm badan aku sume kuar. since, naik keta ramai2, so my only option is to keluarkan by sendawa jer la. hehehehehe. the other option is strictly forbidden. hahahaha. sila faham joke saya.


everyone in one pool.

7. reached our hotel. have some rest.

8. We stayed at Pine sumthing2 Resort. it was cozy and cold. at night Kundasang is as cold as Cameron. maybe lagi sejok.

9.wake up in the morning...... subuh dlm keadaan menggeletar sbb sejok. 
did not continue sleeping, coz at fajr, it is the perfect time, to see Mount Kinabalu.



selfie lagi. and lagi and lagi. berlambak kot gmbar.
salah satu selfie dgn gunung yg cun. the only one I think.
10. after photoshoot with the mountain. we went back to our room. siapkan diri, packed our stuff and check out.
ni pose orang yg dh siap lor.

11. next stop is, Dream World. I love this place. 
we were like on top of the clouds. 
when we arrive we can still see the entire kundasang. but after 30 minutes the entire place is covered with clouds. which make us feel like we were walking on clouds.
Family photo pon amek kat sini. haha.



12. after that, Sabah Dairy Farm. omg, I love this place too. I dont know why, I just had so much fun time.
maybe sbb jakun first time jumpa lembu hitam putih. maybe.
Kambing pon ada
take the chance to kiss a cow

one of may fav group photo
p.s: budak laki yang tetibe muncul ni, saing kami jugak...another borneon. dier join kemudian.

13. then we stopped at Kundasang Memorial Park. we only took picture with the entrance, but did not go inside. malas nak panjat tangga.


14. Kinabalu Park again.
so peeps, these park are at different places, this is for Timpohon Gate and the one we went before is for Mesilau gate.

FYI, if you have been to one of the park, keep the ticket, u can show it at the other park, so that u will need not to pay for the entrance twice, like we did.


15. I freaking been to Timpohon gate. haha. yes. It was one of the things that I want to do. well, initially, I wanted to hike from Mesilau to Timpohon, but we stayed there for 2 days, I was hoping for three, so due to kekangan masa, I only managed to visit Timpohon gate. 

we hike all the way up, with cars. haha. tak adventerous tp takpe. it is enough.

16. since it was january, it was raining and raining and cloudy. This happen. 

from daily news nyer website

so just imagine, how cold it was when we there. we were at the entrance gate only, tapi bercakap pon dh asap kepol2 kuar dri mulut.
which is one of the thing we enjoyed..............jakun. 


17. went back to KK. it was so sad. I really enjoyed my stay in Kundasang.

18. We stayed at KK. plan our island trip again. but tak jadi due to some reason.
and I think because I got soaked wet at Timpohon gate. I had  a quick fever. tiba2 badan panas semacam. 
nasib tak terok. mak bapak kat semenanjung. rasa mcm nk nangis jer waktu tu :(

19. on our 9th day, we spent the entire day at KK. shopping segala benda yg nak bawak balik.
lunch sekali lagi dkt Restaurant Dapur. but this time, lunch ini dinamakan, lunch bersama celebrity.
sbb kebetulan, my classmate, the borneon guy, brought 2 of his Sabah friends that looks like Arja Lee and Black. hahaha. funny.

20. went back to Kota Klias at night, packed our stuff and the things that we got from family tuan rumah.

21. On the 10th day, we woke up early and depart to KK at 5am.
we had two different flight time. I was on the second one. sbb beli tiket lambat. haha.
so sementara tunggu masa nak depart. jalan2 dlm airport KK, spent RM300 on frozen udang harimau.
I think it is better for you guys to buy frozen seafood at the airport than the one next to the pasar basah in KK.

buddies bawak bekal balik utk family



so thats it. 
this mark the end of Sabah post.
Cheers to awesome Sabah. Teh madras ni become my fav drinks in Sabah
I had lots of fun

This is Nik Camelia Al Haded. over and out.
Assalamualaikum.

p.s: it took me more than 5 hours to make this post. excuse me, if there's any fragment, misused grammar or whatever. haha. baca, n paham jer la sendiri.

Sabah Siri 2

This is nik again. over.........................................beep.

Hi Assalamualaikum.

so we should continue.

after our super-duper-awesome trip to tip of borneo. ( you can read about it here)

1. we went back to kota klias.it was tiring coz it took almost 3 hours to go to Tip of Borneo from Kota Kinabalu. and 2 hours more from KK to Kota Klias. just imagine.

2. then our next trip is to Sipitang. urm. it took almost 45minutes from Kota Klias.
here, we experienced the taste of exotic-rare-weird-cheap-FRUITSSSS.

I did not taste anything. because when it comes to food. Im not that adventurous. I have a weak stomach, so I cannot just swallow, different flavor of food at a time. it might burst. not literally.
but my friends enjoyed the trip, it was fun looking at their faces, tasting the fruits. I cannot list the fruits that we bought. they have weird names. I even forget the names right after it.
One thing I want to share is, the durian. as you can see in the picture, the orange color thingy, it is not same as the common durian in semenanjung. durian sini.makan byk2 . badan panas. yang oren ni tak.

3.after Sipitang, we just went to the nearby places. hang out.

4. on our 6th day. we went to Kota Kinabalu, we were suppose to go early in the morning because we wanted to go to the Tunku Abdul Rahman park. but IT WAS JANUARY, the weather was sometime ok some other times it was not. In the morning, we heard the news that sea was bergelora. like this ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.haha.
so we cancelled our plan , but still go to KK. just two hours later. as soon as we reached KK, the weather was CLEAR, the sky was blue, the sea was tenang. haha. takder rezeki.

5.tak hbs cerita lg.
anyone read this?
this really happen.

it was on the day, we went to KK
We only knew that the entire Sabah had no electricity, when we went into Centre Point Mall in KK.
our first time window shopping in the dark. -_-

we had no idea what to do, so the only thing that do not involve electricity is EATING.

THIS IS TANJUNG ARU
I have to be honest. I am not sure that we had no good luck or what that day, with no electricity, we also ate expensive-not tasty- smell like gasoline food. utk ikan yang kitaorg order la. nasi goreng sume oke. its just that, the ikan pari was big, and costs us alot , and it smells weird.
and the ONE THING that we were suppose to do in Tanjung Aru, we did not manage to accomplish the mission. which was to try the KIWI juice. WHY??? because there were no electricity so they cannot use their blender. sad luck.
but, Tanjung Aru is really a nice place. it is well taken care of. clean and luxurious.
just for the sake of filling your hungry stomach with seafood, I suggest you try at other places than Tanjung Aru. ok people.

6. Before Tanjung Aru, like I said, we had nothing to do. yes, we have so much time until we had so many free time. haha.
We make a quick stop at Sabah Indoor Wall Climbing at Sabah Sport Centre.
this was an illegal climb. the place was closed. we dont want to come back again. hence, that is why we do not wear any safety gear. please do not take us an example.

and yes, I did that we my best buddy, again, coz we were like "this is nothing bro." 
but still. we did it quickly coz there are many cctv. haha.
for those yang nak try. I suggest u tried it. cuma, dtg after pukul 4pm lah. the price is also less than rm10.

7. We went back. watch miracle in cell no.7. cried like a madwomen. most of us-lah. 

8. at 6pm, when there is still no electricity, we went to Musical Fountain, nearby Tanjung Aru. the entrance is rm1 per entry.(for one car). if im not mistaken. 
fyi. the musical start at 7.30pm. every performance take about 25 minutes. so if you miss it, you can just wait and see from the beginning the next one. I dont know when it is closing.
it is a cozy area. it is better if you have food.hehe.  it is place to hang out. more like, Tasik Titiwangsa.
utk gambar kiri bawah. eden tak tau kenapa, Fakhira diri tegak mcm tgk berkawad while aku mcm kanak2 riang, tak keno betul.

9. We went home. and have some rest because the next morning we are going to..............
