It All Ended Here, Back to Square One!

When it comes to holiday, time passes in the matter of seconds. But when it comes to work, time drags like as though it's going to be years. The feeling of coming back (leaving home to a land far away) to work is sucks but the day couldn't be better when unnecessary circumstances take place. Phew. When I took my time to unpack my bag-pack, I realise that this is going to end my day with a smile! Sweet dreams*** =)

Enjoy and have a nice working day tomorrow!

Time To Grow Up

Sometimes I just feel that kid's in today's world are just too naive. Though they have grown up physically but they have not grown up mentally. It is really sad to make such a claim but this is so true.

Just take back 30 or 40 years ago, I am really impressed with the ways of parents bringing up 8 to 10 kids in a family since their early 20's. But for kids at this ages, I don't really believe that they can bring up even a kid with ease or even take care of themselves. I am sure that someone would be offended after reading this, but just to make yourself to think more or whether what I said is right or wrong, think whether your existence can really contribute "beneficially" to the people around you and the society. And secondly, just think whether you are financially stable or not (as in not too stingy and with a happy, enjoyable life). 

Sometimes words can be so sensitive to some kind of people and for me, "calculative" is the main character. Phew. I really agree that "money is the root of all evil" (rather than alcohol). I used to think about this for 3 days 2 nights if someone said to me like this and I think I am going to have a hard time to sleep for these few days. Never mind, it's ok! Life still goes on...... Oppa Gungnum Style

Enjoy and have a nice day...

Tenom-Keningau-Tambunan Trip (19-20 August 2012) - Part 3

 Yea, what a wonderful morning to spend at the cathedral. With the nice readings, hymns, the people, the surrounding and so and so! But.... At least I feel much better after coming back from the church.

Time to continue the last part. So basically the last part is more about the trip to Tambunan and the way back to Kota Kinabalu. Oya, saw the following two pictures? They are actually fresh and smoked wild boar meat selling at the roadside of Keningau-Tambunan road. If you stand nearer and look at it, you can still see blood dripping from the fresh meat. Haha. So my friends just dropped by and bought 2kg back, then we continue our journey to Tambunan town.

Salai = smoked; Basah = fresh 

The driving to Tambunan took us about 1 hour and we were too hungry, so we had our lunch at Tambunan. But the problem was we can barely see any shops open except this Tambunan Restaurant.

Tambunan town 

Brinjal curry with meat rice, RM 7.00. Not too bad but they just need to update the price in the menu only...

Without any further delay, we proceeded to Mahua Waterfall which is almost 45 minutes driving journey. The distance was about 12-15km from Tambunan town. Driving to this destination was not that difficult because the signboards are really useful to show you the way.

 The pond to welcome you

Read the rules before you start trekking into the jungle for the waterfall 

"See me" is one of the marking along the trail! 

 Here you go! The waterfall with freaking cold water!!! =)

Just a group picture before we leave.. "Welcome to Mahua Waterfall"!! 

After leaving that place, we wanted to see Rafflesia at the Rafflesia Information Center while on the way back to Penampang road. But the center was not open, maybe it was because there wasn't any Rafflesia at the moment, so continued our journey to Kipandi Butterfly Park. It was not just a normal butterfly part, but you can also get various kinds of plants over there.

Welcome to Kipandi Butterfly Farm 

 Where you can get your souvenirs and even an umbrella for the whole journey.

Butterfly Garden 

Insect Museum 

Shhh.. They are actually mating 

Lava to breed new buterfly 

Periuk Kera.. Pitcher plant in English.. Something very unique in Malaysia

So that's the end of my journey to Tenom-Keningau-Tambunan. Overall, it was really a new experience for us as we really have no chance to have this kind of experience if we sit in the city forever. Just bear in mind that learning other's culture is also important to make you a better person.

Enjoy and have a nice weekend.
