4D3N Kota Kinabalu, Sabah - Day 3

Come to 3rd days, I started to realise time is ain't enough. In fact, KK has lots of places of attraction. It is the disadvantage of free and easy, because you tend to DIY and find out plenty of places which you would love to try.

The next day morning, American breakfast set :)

We started the engine ahead to Kundasang. It took us 2 hours 30 minutes to reach our first destination, Kinabalu Park. The road was weary and small. Furthermore, how to expect a small kancil to speed? If you are so unfortunate, happened to have a big lorry drives like a tortoise in front of you, it is certainly slow down your speed too.

Discovery: lots of catholic church along the way to Kundasang. Furthermore, their board is designed to be the same, except the wording stated differently for different churches. I wondered it is a need to have so many churches, as the population wasn't large enough to accommodate many for those churches? I was really interested at their target group of people.


So fascinated to read all the board name whenever I passed by. Perhaps, Catholic is really a dominated religion in Sabah.

Kinabalu Park was the starting point for KK climbers. It roughly takes 2 nights 1 night to be the conqueror of KK (for layman). I will love to conquer that, perhaps some other day :P when I have enough stamina.

I love some of the views, so hoping I have a super wide len camera which could capture the whole scenery. However, I managed to take some which satisfy my need too. haha

Our meal settled nearby Kinabalu Park, it was considered as mamak. They served local malay, chinese and also western food. The food was big in portion, and it tasted quite nice too.

Interestingly, why the wires in Sabah so thick? I m really wondering, it was so much thicker which I had never seen before.

Further down, we went to Poring Hot Spring and Canopy Walk. There is 2 hot spring, and a cave. We tried out canopy walkway. It was just walking on top of the jungle, nothing special for me except I m a timid cat that afraid of height. Thus, I was a bit scared when the bridge is shaky.

On the way in, there is a rock pool and bath area (public and private). Further in, there is also a butterfly farm inside.

Before reaching the canopy walkway, you ought to trek through the jungle. It was easy as the staircase or human walkway is formed for the convenience.

Public Bath Area

Dinner time. I specially recommended this seafood restaurant located in Tuaran. The price is cheaper, food is more delicious and the restaurant is surrounded by mangrove swamp. The restaurant called Gayang Seafood Restaurant. It is not easy to find, because you may ask local people in Tuaran.

You are assured to have very fresh seafood meal. This meal was the nicest among all the meals we had taken before, really no regret to go there. We were so lucky to get the direction right because it is so hard to locate this restaurant at night. The highway going to this restaurant doesnt have light supply, as you have to depend on your car's light to travel.





All the food were so yummy, I would love to eat it again and again.

We were so exhausted, because of the far distance.

The 4th day, last day of trip...where we have been?

Unexpected plan...yet no regret...

Full stop is not a Stop

My study has come to the full stop. After the submission of my final year project, I thought I will be delighted, yet I wasn't. I was apathetic. No more motivation to complete it, I already forgotten my achievement goals, I have given up. During the phase of life, I felt Life is just ain't about perfection. Imperfection in life is the essence of our growth. In order to grow, old proverb saying "no pain, no gain", it indeed applies to everyone of us. Being through thick and thin, sweat and tears, I started to realise that adaptation to sudden change is incredibly important. For instance, we have a goal to get a First Class Honour in our degree program, but our result speaks no to us. Is it show that we are stupid? Nope, it only tells us that it is a piece of paper which might granted us to obtain better job, yet which class you get is not the guarantee to get a better job. The end of college life, is the start of _______ life. People will fill in the blank themselves....

Spell or Hallucination

If you know a person, She claimed that "the maid put the spell on my family, at night a small boy will bite my foot, when I kick him away and I heard the sound of crying. Apart from that, she is mumbling at night. My daughter started to speak rudely to me, and did not call me as mother anymore. She moved back to her own house. My husband, he started to scold me in Malay, and also instructed the maid to beat grandsons. Everyone is sided the maid" No one is believing what she said. Her children claimed that she is just hallucination. She is just thinking too much because of her experience in stroke. After she got a stroke, things started to change. Her family did not treat her well. What is your advice? Is the maid put the spell on her family? Is she just thinking too much?

How to train your dragon (Movie)

If you said it is a waste to watch animation or cartoon in cinema, I will reject your idea. Firstly, most of the animation strongly project good moral ethics or values for the reference of audiences especially children. During the childhood, children ought to differentiate the right and the wrong distinctively, neither grey area nor in between. Value always serves as a guideline for us to oblige, not a compulsory because decision is still lied in the hand of human. This movie secretly intruded my deepen heart. It talked about relationship, a bond between dragon and human. The main character, Hiccup chose to save the night fury (dragon) because he saw the fear from its eye. Even a human, we got attracted or closer with people who are similar to us because we feel we able to understand each other better compared to differences. The flow of movie discussed the process of rejection, acceptance, understand and devotion in a relationship. When we are just a stranger for each other, we are re...
