Final Maggie Trip : Kota Kinabalu - Keningau - Kundasang Part 4

           as this trip was a very short trip, right after the Farm, we headed to Kota Kinabalu.. this time, we passed thru Ranau and Tamparuli.. i spent the whole trip sleeping soundly with my mouth wide open.. mcm serabai babai but at that time, i dah penat sangat kot... even my collegue pun sama jer =P

          From Kundasang to KK, it takes about 1 1/2 hour.. depending on  speed..but on our way back to KK, we stop by at several rest area.. it does not looks like the common R&R that we have here in WM but at such places they sell sourvenir and local food / junkfood...you can get batik, keychain, fridge magnet, "sumpitan", beaded bracelets and necklaces and bookmarks, varieties of local product made by local people and many more...as a commoner, i beli small beaded pouch and fridge magnet.. duit pun tak banyak kan.. klu yang nih pun company sponsor kan best...

these are among 1/100 sourvenir you can find along the way

rest area at Kinabalu Via Ferrata

 

sampai kk dalam pukul 12 sth.. straight away we headed to Filipine Market.. i cant be sure why is it call filipine market but after goole

reach kota kinabalu

algae

gamat..besar giler.. klu i jumpa dlm laut, konfem i lemas sebab panic

varieties of local food made of seafood.. real cheap.. #Market, Kota Kinabalu

but the most popular among tourist is Kuih Cincin. i dont the picture here but we bought 1 big box of kuih cincin.

our taxi driver aka tourist guide. if you need him, please call him directly at +60142046869

 

1 hour before flight, we reach KK international aiport..saying goodbye to Mr Arimin and Sabah.. .. haih, bila la nak jumpa lagi... =( but as always, good memory remains..cheer up!

Maggie Trip to Kota Kinabalu - Keningau - Kundasang - Part 2

continue my second day maggie trip to Sabah..

7.00 am : we woke up early today because we need to catch the time.. rushing sikit hari ini because we are going to KUNDASANG!!! yupppp..kundasang.. semalam i dah text member and dia kata tak possible but babe, this is me!! nak seribu daya, tak nak seribu dalih..

7.30 pm : breakfast and drove to our branch to return the car..pung pang2x jumpa dgn manager dlm lebih kurang 10 min, bagi pesanan terakhir, kemudian naik chartered taxi dan terus ke Kundasang... dari keningau ke Kundasang memakan masa lebih kurang 3-4 jam...sebabnya kundasang adalah di kanan KK, keningau pula di kiri KK.. dah kira mcm pusing balik sebenarnya tapi disebabkan bukan kami yang drive, no hal la.. act like a boss sekejap.. =P

to go to Kundasang from Keningau, you have two option weather to go via Kota Kinabalu or via Trusmadi Mountain..via KK is like a seaside road while Mount Trusmadi is more into hilly roadway..the shortest distance to get to Kundasang from Keningau is via Trusmadi.. you will definitely need to pass thru Tambunan and then get to Ranau for Kundasang..i have no idea how did i know about this place but believe me, its worth a visit.. =)

the beautiful Mount Kinabalu as eye candy rolled over!

along Mount Trusmadi

 

there are many landslide area.. be careful when driving eapecially during rainy season

 

nak ke mana wahai cik ??

si kinabalu yang pemalu.. you will never gotta see the peak when the sun has rised..thank god that i got it..how? ask the clouds to get away.. =P

Pasar pagi di Ranau.. Ranau terkenal dgn hasil pertanian..

rumah2 di pinggiran bukit.. sebijik macam Padang, Indonesia

after 3 hours of driving, kami pun sampai ..since driver never been to this place, so kitorang ada sesat sikit lah.. but En Amin was a pro bai..apa guna member taxi klu bukan untuk roger roger kan.. =P

A little info. The place is called Desa Dairy Farm or Tenusu Desa.. it is run by Desa Cattle (Sabah) Sdn bhd.. Desa Dairy Farm is located at the foothill of Mt. Kinabalu, Mesilau plateau and to be exact, Ladang Tenusu, Mesilau, Kundasang.. charges fee for the farm entry is RM4.00..open from 8.00 am to 5.00 pm everyday including public holiday.. it provides good education for children even adults to understand how fresh milk is being processed from raw to finish product. It is not hard to find but there is no public transport to reach there. The cold weather, farm fencing, and Friesian cattle make you totally away from all the pressures and stressful life from the reality world.

 

 

Friesian Cattle

ini semua poyo

 

sebab internet lembap macam tenuk, i'll create another special post for Kundasang ok? =)

Maggie Trip from Kota Kinabalu to Keningau Sabah - Part 1

                    Last month, i gotta chance to pay my first visit to Sabah.. actually, i have work to do in Keningau, so i take this advantage to get me around KK and a little beyond...sent off for 2 days 1 nite and i was accompanied by my collegue, Kak Shila..
 

4.00 am : Bangun pagi seawal giler.. (sumpah tak pernah i bangun seawal ini sejak bekerja)..bersiap siap dengan backpack, sehelai sepinggang dan beg tangan untuk jumpa kak shila kat lobby office... pukul 6.00 pagi, i dah standing straight depan lobby tunggu kak shila..cemerlang yang sangat bersebab!! suka sangat...daa
 

6.30 am - 9.00 am : Our chartered taxi arrived and drove us to the LCCT.. ticket, hotel and any charges consume was fully sponsored by company..arrived at LCCT and straight away line up for flight...
 

10.00 am - 1.00 pm : Took off and as usual,tido dalam flight.. and about 12.30 pm, we arrived at Kota Kinabalu International Airport..flight duration for KK is 2 hours..boss untuk branch di Keningau actually dah tolong kami untuk chartered taxi dari Kota Kinabalu ke Keningau..so, by the time kami sampai, taxi pun sampai..straight away jump into the taxi and headed to Keningau.. pada mulanya, i thought that the driver was arrogant but i was mistaken.. dia la taxi driver paling banyak mulut... maigod!! and i have to admit that orang Sabah kebanyakkan nya sangat friendly... just look at Mr Twin (our taxi driver), dari KK sampai Keningau, 2 hours non stop talking..
 

ini map sabah.. study map pun selepas pulang dari sabah

 

 

KK international airport situated next to oceon.. nice view isnt it? thank god

 

1.00 pm - 3.00 pm : Perjalanan dari KK ke Keningau took us another 2 hours..kebas punggung duduk lama sangat.. untuk pergi ke Keningau, kami melalui dua daerah utama iaitu Penampang dan Papar, sebelum we cross over Mount Kimanis to get to Keningau.. through out the journey, i langsung tak melelapkan mata walaupun tuhan saja yang tahu betapa mengantoknya mata.. semua gara gara tak nak ketinggalan menikmati alam ciptaan Allah yang Maha Cantik..cuba saja tengok gambar2 di bawah, semuanya kehijauan dan kebiruan..fyi, Papar terletak di pinggiran pantai dan hasil utama penduduk dari daerah ini adalah ikan kering dan ikan bilis...

        

on the way to Keningau - at Penampang

 

while drove thru the road and stop at the RNR  #ternampak bas dari beufort..

 

#the highway   #lain benor dengan semenanjung  #takde divider pun

 

              Selepas Papar, kami "add oil" tp cross gunung Kimanis..the road is a lil steep and i believe, untuk lori konfem semput! nak dekat 40 minit press pedal tau..tapi yang menarik, ada satu area dekat gunung kimanis adalah area bermagnet.. ramai pelancong yang tak tahu..kan? i dont know where it is exactly situated but maybe you can ask the local people...semasa turun dari gunung, Mr twin lepaskan handbrek dan brek kaki.. so,apa yang you expect adalah kereta akan meluncur turun ke hadapan dengan laju, rite?? but what happened was, the car reversed upward! as if it was pulled by one unknown power..weird isnt it?? Mr Twin terpaksa press minyak untuk turun bukit..giler namanya klu turun bukit press minyak... well, thats for contradict 

 

jet fuel.. pic taken from top of Mount Kimanis..all the way to Keningau, you will be served with this beautiful and amazing God's creation.. =)

 

another amazing view  #reason untuk tidak tidur.

 

#kabus atas top of mount kimanis  #sejuk  #around 2-3pm tapi keadaan mcm awal pagi 

 

3.00 pm - 5.30 pm : sampai saja di Keningau terus direct jumpa dengan branch manager..tak sampai 2 jam keje dah siap..efficient sangat (tangan di bahu, mata ke atas..haha)..sebenarnya, kerja on site amat la simple, tapi declaration report selepas itu, mak dato' poning kepala.. selesai keje, kami terus check in hotel..malam tersebut, kami stay di Hotel Juta...itulah hotel paling grand dekat Keningau.. =)

5.30 pm - 7.00 pm : lepak and online dalam bilik..tengok jam pukul 6 tapi tengok tingkap dah gelap.. tak sedar masa cepat sgt berlalu..sabah kan gelap sejam lebih awal dari mesia.. bila tgk berita tuh, terasa macam dah malam sangat..
 

8.00 pm - 10.00 pm : mati kutu tak tahu nak pegi mana kat Keningau.. walaupun manager bagi pinjam kereta company untuk memudahkan kitorang berjalan, tapi buntu tak tahu nak g mana...its Keningau, bandar di pedalaman, mana je pun kami nak pegi..pusing pusing, tang traffic light yang satu tu je kita jumpa balik.. hahah... di Keningau cuma ada satu je shopping mall dan untuk dinner, kami g makan kat  foodcourt..pegi bukan drive tapi hanyalah dgn berjalan kaki..
 

10.00 pm - 1.00 am : habiskan masa dengan online dan chat dengan member laki kat labuan.. i tanya kat dia sama ada sempat atau tak kalau i nak g tempat XXX nih..esok flight kami kul 2.30 pm.. dia kata, tak sempat sebab jauhhhh...seolah olah macam pusing semula.. dalam hati dah sedih tapi sebagai seorang yang suka ambil risiko, i pun nekad dalam hati nak jugak pegi ke tempat XXXX...bila kak shila bangun tido esok pagi, i nak bagitau dia yang hari ini kita akan ke XXX.. hehehe..

nak tahu apa nama tempat XXX???  To the next post shall i continue ya..
