My weekend - Part 2 (Finale)

It was Sunday, 22nd February 2009...nice weather to start a journey..A journey to Ranau and a special place...



At this point..it called "World's Highest Via Feratta Sky Walking On Mount Kinabalu"


Then, we went to Kampung Luanti Baru...this is the place i called special and a place not to be missed....coz the fish are so special there...at Sungai Moroli to be exact... 20km from Ranau Town...it's actually a Tagal River...in the Local Kadazandusun dialect, ‘tagal’ means ‘no fishing’, and the main purpose of the ‘tagal’ is to preserve the environment as well as the ecosystem to benefit the future generation. ‘Ikan Pelian’ or Malaysian Masheer comes from the family of Cyprinidae. These fishes are specifically trained by the villagers to perform the healing massage activities...

It cost RM10.00 if you want to bathe with the fish and RM5.00 if you just want to soak your feet in...the experience i had i will never ever forget...the ticklish feelings while the fishes sucking your feet...aaaah

My mum feeding the friendly fishes


BF and my sis taking a dip with the fishes around them


This is the view of the clear water river

It was getting cloudy and gonna rain soon...so we got changed straight after..we had a chit chat with the folks there for awhile about the place... there were once a case a fish died when a visitor hold the fish up, so they had a meeting and from that incident, holding the fish from the river is prohibited...if caught fishing at that area, you guys will get sogit (penalised) 1 buffalo for 1 fish..*jan main-main owh*...and so, we thanked the folks there for being so ever friendly to us before we leave the place....we waved them goodbye and smiled~~~~


We managed to visit the Kundasang War Memorial for awhile coz i never went in there actually...took a few picture...stayed there a few minutes then we're off to buy some vegetable..i did'nt join them so i just stayed in the car...my head felt so sleepy that time...


Our final destination was at the Kinabalu Bamboo Cafe...we ordered Chicken cooked with Tuhau which tasted so yummy...mushroom with some veggie, tasted okay for me...and sup tarajun of veggies and mushroom...hehehee....feeling so stuffed...we headed off home..it started to rain heavily after that...

Arriving home feeling tired...straight away i throw myself on the couch and started to 'zzzZZZzzz' till 6pm...oh yah we arrived home at 4pm! :)

Overall, eventhough my weekend is packed but i had good a fun especially with my sister, my mum and my BF...hmmm..where's is my next destination would be?? Anyone care for a suggestions?...Let me know yah!!! Till then...OMG! it's lunchtime now...gotta hunt for food downstairs!!

My weekend....Part 1

Okay, let start with the story of my weekend..i never had such a tiring weekend. My sister brought me and my bf to Pulau Manukan...and so i agree to go since i never, let me repeat..I NEVER went to any pulau before in my life..yes you read it right! :) So, we're off to the Jesselton Point to start the day to the island...we went on a boat which took only about 15 minutes ride across the blue ocean.



We arrived at the island. It was so hot and sunny. I was so scared my skin will get burned, so i use the sunblocked from my sister. There were a lot of tourists there especially Eurasian and Korean and not forgetting our locals too...students were alot there...saw them bringing some food like they're picnicking there...



We went to the counter to pay for the entrance fees, well my sister paid it..hehehe



...before we went to the beach...we walk around until we found our spot...just a few minutes we sat there, suddenly an old coconut fell from the tree!!!


This is the old coconut that jatuh!

We're lucky we didn't stand near the tree or else *free-free kena coconut the head*....weeheheheheee....after found out that the spot not that safe anymore, we moved to another spot which is quite a nice spot and view...


BF decided to have a swim
but he didn't bring his clothes *sigh*



After the swim he terpaksa berjemur under the sun just to get his clothes to dry...while my sister decided to walk around the beach and picking up some cute and nice stones or coral reefs that had dried lying on the beach...but i found three unique ones just on where i sat...




'Kids' havin fun with the sand




Looking at my watch, it was 2.30pm..we head off to the jetty...our time was 3pm...it was a long wait till our boat arrived...everyone want to get on the boat..once we get in, the jetty is clear from people...The ride was the craziest one..it was so fast and we passed not only one but two boats that was ahead of us before...the ride took only 10 minutes!!! @_@ but luckily we arrived at the Jesselton Point early coz if we late by few minutes, I'm sure we gonna get ourselves wet by the heavy rains...This all happens on Saturday!Next post, off to Ranau~My Sunday!
