Wow! It's been a month since I went for a trip to KK, Sabah with my family. This is my 3rd time to visit KK. But is 2nd time to get a real visit KK. I still can remember how fun it is for the whole trip. Unfortunately my big bro wasn't able to join us because busy of his works. No choice, but we still carry on since everything has planned. Not only that, my 2nd bro carries on with this plan BUT he was sick on the 1st day. Luckily, on the 2nd day, he becomes so energetic especially we will head to islands. Really worry that the sickness will ruin the holidays. Thanks to coconut juice that he drank on 1st day.
Few views at Sutera Harbour. I like to come over here because of the nice views yet relaxing.
I managed to capture sunset from Sutera Harbour.
2nd day (08.08.10) : Went to Gaya Street to do some local shopping. This street has lots of things to see. This is a place that a MUST to visit at KK. However, it's held on every Sunday. Must go early to avoid human traffic.
This is Buah Talap. I think it can be found at Sabah only. 'Coz I never try this kind of fruit before. The smell is kind of weird but when you eat it, it's quite nice too.
This is so called famous " Durian Isi Merah". I didn't taste 'coz I was in sore throat that time. E's mum bought for us to try. Most funny is that, it's not fresh anymore 'coz there are some worms in this durian and guess what? My mum get to eat the worm's portion. What a lucky for her! However, we all convince her that she doesn't eat that portion to makes her feel better.
Pulau Mamutik! Here we come! That was Pulau Mamutik. Taken while I was still in the speedboat. Quite wavy on that day. But we still able to take it. My parent able to take this kind of speedboat.
Beach views at Pulau Mamutik.
Here we reach at 2nd island - Pulau Manukan.
These are "Cycle Doo". I'm not sure whether I'm right with the name. All I know is that, we can cycle down to sea. Just like snorkeling. When the time we reach there, they stop rent 'coz out of their business time. It's quite costly, around RM180 per hour (if not mistaken). But worth to try anyway.
3rd day (09.08.10) : Trip to Kundasang & Poring Hot Spring.
Poring Hot Spring. A tourist's location. E told me that last few years, when he was still at high school, this place is a good place to view stars because it's without shelter. I can imagine it's a romantic place especially watching star while enjoying night at hot spring.
Besides of hot spring, there are still many places that we can visit. I would say that must visit Canopy Walkway. This time, I can't get to visit it because of time being. Last year, I went there. It's quite fun although kind of scary to walk through the bridge especially hanging from tree to tree.
Restaurant at Poring Hot Spring. Nice ambience.
Resorts at Poring Hot Spring.
Have you seen the smallest roundabout? Moreover, it used paint to make it as a roundabout. Be honest, this is my first time to see such cute round-about. It's located at Ranau.
Ok. Now we are at our rented chalet at Kundasang. The weather is cold. Maybe around 15 degrees. Of course, this kind of weather is suitable for steamboat. Therefore, we bought some instant food for our simple supper steamboat. Although, it is simple but it taste good!
Morning, morning. Day 4 for now, at Kundasang. Weather, still cold. I took some pictures of flowers at the resort. The flowers are quite pretty. I think maybe because of nice weather.

Farm at backyard of the resort.
Surprise to see this? Yeap, from Pine Tree that used for X'mas tree decoration. Lots of Pine tree nearby the resort.
Look familiar? It's Mt. KK. We see it clearly just in front of rented chalet. Nice view, right? Took it at early morning.
This is the place that we rented. It's simple but nice. Really nice! Can imagine how near is Mt. KK when we stay in this chalet?
Most enjoyable moment is having breakfast at such a cold weather. A glass of hot milo with some cakes are good enough for us. |

Double Rainbow!
Desa Farm aka Cow Farm (Really looks like at NZ).

Few pictures from Desa Farm. Does it looks like NZ?
Don't you think "she" looks different with local cows? "She" looks pretty, right?
2 horses at Desa Farm. Ok, the we all said that The White Horse likes my bro. Coz she will looks at my bro whenever my bro wants to take her picture. A very spontaneous horse to camera.
Climbathon Chart - fastest to reach Mt. KK. Competition in every year.
Timpohon was the last place we visit during this trip. Timpohon is where climbers will start their journey to Mt. KK. My 2nd bro depart from here during his climb on last Apr 10. At here, lots of squirrels. Get to feed them. They act fast. Just grab food and straight run.
Overall, this trip is kind of fun. Coz I get to visit lots of place that I'm not able to visit during last year. I think most fun is stay at Kundasang. 1st, I get to see a nice Mt. KK. Many people tempted to climb it but not me. Maybe I know that I'm not good in stamina. Therefore, I've no intention to climb it.
