short escape!~ Tambunan
Hello everyone~!For this entry I would like to share my experience to Tambunan. It was my second time to go Tambunan. Last time I went to Tambunan on 2017 (i think so, lupalah). The story begins like this:
Its all started right after we played netball with my adik tajmi'. It was short and quick plan from Kak Odd (glamournye nama, need to hide the identity). My friend and I have been discussed about the planned to have a short escape (read:jaulah) a fortnight ago. My friend and I didn't know where we actually want to go. We only got an instruction to bring extra clothes since we will sleep at the outside.
~~Alhamdullilah for this chances after a lot of thing happened~~
We only know where we went right after we get inside the car, which is Tambunan. It takes 2 hour of journey from Kota Kinabalu to Tambunan. I guess we departed around 5.30 in the evening since we arrived Tambunan around 7.30 pm. Along the journey my friends and I get to know each other. We played a lot of personality test. //I don't really like what the personality test describe about me xD . The first game that we played is what kind of animal that we like the most, it takes about 3 rounds. (you all can google about this game).
Right after we arrived Tambunan, we directly went to Mahua waterfall. However the luck was not on our side, the chalet is closed since we didn't call them to stay at the chalet. You need to call them before go Mahua waterfall chalet. Our plan B is to find a budget a hotel around Tambunan town.
Our first choice is The 7th Lodge near to Tambunan Hospital but the fee is so expensive and the lodge has an extra charge rm10 for third and next person (the rooms is only for 2 people, with only two single bed). Our second choice is Tambunan Rafflesia Hotel. One room; queen size bed with the view of paddy field is only for RM107 (queen size bed, village view for rm97). //the promotion is until the end of April . NO EXTRA CHARGE for next person and good news is we even get a voucher for breakfast for 2 person. The view is so scenic and pretty. //berbaloi. The hotel is near to petrol pump Petronas.
Check-in, solat, bought 4 plate of rice at the hotel's cafe and ate (we brought chicken wings from KK; jauh ayam tu berjalan). There's some sharing session: the prophet Lut and his people. I find the topic is quite interesting. Should be there is another sharing session but we're so tired and decided to sleep. //I slept right after they turned off the light. penat plus dah jadi burung for 3 days just to finish my work//
Next morning, we redeem our breakfast voucher, take some picture and went to Mahua Waterfall. The entrance fee is rm3 for Malaysian and rm10 for non-Malaysian. Walked a few meter to reach the waterfall, across the bridge and you can find the most picturesque view of waterfall. The weather and water is freezing cold since it's raining. The place is so peace and relaxed. //tak sedar diri yang esok tu ada midterm and hantar proposal . By the way you can cook, so don't forget to bring portable stove and gas ( and ingredient that you want to cook)
So I guess that's the story for the this trip~!
p.s I've another work to do. bye for now.

2 days 1 night!~ Kudat
Ssup everyone.
Would like to share my short escape to Kudat (wohoo). Actually we plan to go Kudat on 16 and 17 April. Because of we have a lot to do on that day so we bring it on 9 and 10 April. It's 2days and 1night. It takes about 3 hours (maybe..not so sure since i only slept in the car. lol) from Ums to Kudat.

It's 2days and 1night. It takes about 3 hours (maybe..not so sure since i only slept in the car. lol) from Ums to Kudat.
We stay at Meranjak longhouse (rm50 for 1 night) which is located 1 hour to simpang mengayau. the room is quiet big and there is three single bed in the room and of course no aircond because it is longhouse dude. what do you expect in the longhouse? Actually there's a chalet and Villa if you want to stay at Simpang Mengayau (too expensive for student like us). The longhouse is a traditional house for Rungus ethnic. for those who wants to experience longhouse can stay at this house. But the toilet is at the outside of the house which is quite far and it has frog if you don't close the door properly.
The next morning, we woke up on 3:30am to go to Simpang Mengayau which take about 1 hour. If your car petrol is at the half of the last bar, don't worry because you can reached the destination safely but you need to find villagers who sell petrol. There is one villagers who sell petrol at the junction, oh yeah we buy 3 bottles (4.5L) it can only fills for 1 bar. It is a thrill experience since we were worried if the car will stopped at the halfway we went to Simpang Mengayau but thanks to Allah we managed to arrive safely and we also met Olong (a kid that we met when we want to buy petrol) he is so shy and clever. Hope to meet you in the future Olong. The sunrise is so pretty and amazing. I can feel 'kebesaran' Allah swt and grateful I have a chances to go Kudat.
Then we went to Kudat town, if you are from Kuala Muda (Kedah), Kudat town has the same feeling like that place because it is a fishermen town. You can see boat, net, wet market,the smell of sea, fish (smell of fish), fishermen lepak at warung while drinking teh tarik and talk in their own languange (of course they talk about weather, the amount of fish they caught and many more). I miss my hometown when i went there. lol
Before we going back to Ums, we stopped at bee farm (rm3 for one person). If you are lucky you can taste fresh honey. The lady said, it depends on the amount the honey produce. She also said they only prepared the house for the bee and the bee will make their hive in the house. (But I think it depends on the environment also, if there is nothing for the bees to collect nectar, they will not do their hive). my expense for this trip is around rm100 which include house, car, petrol, food, souvenir and many more. We spend a lot of our money on petrol kinda sad because the car telan petrol kuat sungguh.
ps: I dedicated this post to Anis. She actually wants me to do vlog but I don't have any speciality in talking so I decide to write this post for her. Later when you fly to Europe, don't forget to write where you go and your experience.

A short vacation~! Kundasang
I might be late to write this post but it's okay.
We were planning to go to Labuan but luck is not with us on that day. It is because of the ferry problem. However we have a backup plan (actually an emergency plan) which we decided to go Tuaran, Tamparuli, Kundasang and Ranau for 2days and 1 night.
We went to Tuaran to eat mee tuaran and of course to fill our empty stomach. Then we went to Tamparuli to see rumah terbalik and 3D museum. At first, we only want to see rumah terbalik because the price is too expensive for us. But the receptionist said, if we have matric card we can get a child price for rumah terbalik and 3D museum. The price is rm19.40. At Tamparuli, there is one famous bridge named Tamparuli bridge.
Then we directly head to Kundasang which is about 1 and half hour. We sleep at David breakfast & bedcamp(rm25 per person). One room can fit 8 persons. Dont worry about aircond or fan because Kundasang is cold during night and morning. David B&B prepared breakfast from 7am to 10am and no breakfast during public holiday. (It would be a benefit for you if you know chinese, lol!). Oh yeah! An awesome part at Kundasang is Desa Dairy Farm (you can feel like youre at NZ and not in Sabah!) The entrance fee is rm5 per person. The weather is cold tho it is noon.
In the morning, we went to Poring hot spring at Ranau(30 minutes from Kundasang). The entrance fee is rm3 (with mykad) and rm15 (w/out mykad). It also have canopy walk, air terjun and swimming pool. YY said if you want to go to air terjun it takes one and half hour (if I'm not mistaken) and 30 minutes to canopy walk. But we decided to just stay and enjoyed hot spring. If you dont like hot spring, there is a cold swimming pool. Dont forget to go to Sabah tea garden. You can see the tea process (i forgot how much the entrance fee, lol) and you can even shop the Sabah tea at a lowest price. (Do i sound like a promoter?!)
The end of our short vacation is we eat lokan bakar and coconut jelly. There's two types of coconut jelly which you can choose either you want in the fruit itself or in the glass. If you like seafood, you might like lokan bakar. Lmao.
Ps: I think thats it about this trip. This entry is the first entry for 2016 (clap hands) ★ Btw, thanks for the driver (chin wern, nesha and YY) because i feel safe and i can trust you now. Wohoo~ hopefully we can do this thing again tho it is hard to gather all of us.
