Journey to the tip of Borneo

Sorry for the late posting of my trip report… hehe… so, a total of 9 people… 4 guys and 5 girls… rented 2 cars… 1 kancil driven by Yaw Yaw (aka “Loh Yau” Keong) and another Proton Saga by Matthew… the kancil is fine… but without break lights… the saga is like a “structure which weld up by pieces of steel”… noise & bad condition… but it is still moving… so after fetching everyone, checking the car up… we start our journey from Li Yee (aka Ah Mah) house at IP… well actually we went for a drink the night before that at Damai… anyway, journey starts and reach Tuaran in a short while. After having our breakfast, we continue our journey to kudat… (Yaw Yaw claims that he ordered Horlick Ping and the waiter giv him Orange Ping…)

Since kancil no break light, so kancil leads follow by saga… aunties in the kancil busy gossiping n end up missing the Ostrich n Bee farm… after past by all of that only ask people in the saga… where’s the ostrich n bee farm? Well, having some “drama” along the way especially in the saga where I sit… I keep on give Matthew some confident in driving it… give some brief instruction and experience on how to ride the hill smoothly… Matthew really improves a lot in the skills and he is fast! Reach Rungus long house… after securing our room… we went to search for the tip of Borneo… well, it’s still noon and it makes me wonder why we are looking for that place… after some discussion and worries on the petrol level, we decided to head to Kudat town. After pumping petrol, the hunt for KFC starts… hehe… after some great effort, we manage to arrive safely at KFC. After having our lunch, I’m in search for the rice cracker… but end up realizing the shop selling it only opens in the morning… shit… then we continue our journey to the tip of Borneo… after some “action and stuns”… reach the tip safely… saw some nice beaches… once getting off the car… oh my god… the wind… is blowing like a typhoon… you’ll fall down if you are not careful… the wind will blow you away… I really enjoy the scenery around… enjoy the breeze… enjoy the waves… enjoy the sunset… enjoy everything over there…

After watching sunset, we drive back to long house and have our dinner… enjoy some performance by the locals… after that we have some fun chit chatting… drink some rice wine… one by one our members are “falling down” and went to sleep… left me, Jolin & Li Fei… we went to sleep at 4am in the end… since we paid RM45 for it… at least must sleep awhile… hehe… the next morning, miss Jolin keep on knocking on the guys’ room… but no care about it… in te end Matthew open the door and it is actually a “morning call”… after the breakfast, those aunties continue to “shopping” and the handcraft house beside the long house… in the end… all plan changed… wonder why we planned about it so hard before this… skip all the visits… we end up having our lunch again at Tuaran, and heading for Kelapa Pudding after that. In the end, we end up singing K at Karamunsing…

Nice trip overall… like it very much… thank you to our drivers… thank you everyone…
