18^th Oct 2011

7:00am

Dah bersiap2 untuk check out. Sempat kami anak-beranak tibai maggi sebungkus sorang. Lapar weh!!

After TERKONO RM403, we all directly headed to Poring Hot Spring. Poring is actually also gazetted within Kinabalu Park area. Poring is actually the name of a small town in Ranau. 

 

Conservation Fee : RM3/adult , RM1 /senior citizen F.O.C for kids below 12yrs old

I’d missed the feel of natural hot spring because I’m too busy to look over my children whom already jumped inside the cool pool. But luck for my mom as she managed to soak her feet for about an hour.

My little babies were too busy enjoying their moment here. It’s too difficult to get them out of the pool!!! Eii…buang masalah anak2 ibu ni. 

  

 

2.00pm

After done persuaded my babies, we headed to Canopy Walkway. Seriously guys, we all thoughts, it just a simple route to get to the canopy. Hehehehe..we were wrong!! It takes about 540m above sea level !! Mak aii…mendaki lagi…yahuuu!!!

And no more guess….

Superb awesome

4:00pm

Tired…but need to move on quickly before sunset. (Please make your back journey to KK around 4:00pm since it will be very difficult to drive in dark)

4:45pm

Berhenti makan di Pekan Ranau. Haa…kat sini yang Aspen kata nasi goring sepinggan RM6. Tapi boleh tahanlah..cuma macam biasa…anjing2 berkeliaran sana-sini.

5:15pm

Erm…advice lebih2 and my mom still got her shopping spree in Kundasang small tamu. Tapi mahal bah kamu menjual disini. Ada ke strawberry sebijik sehinggit !!! Bisik kat telinga Along “Along…kita beli kat umah jerla ek”

Dalam nak cepat2 tu, tup tup my hubby mengendong sekotak sayur-sayuran. 

Hahahahhaa….adeh…nasib in flight package, each pax got 20kg baggage. Erm…suker ati emakla…nanti anakanda jugak yang nak makan….

5:45pm

Berhenti Zuhur + Asar @ Masjid Kundasang. (Lambat sbnrnya, sbb maghrib masuk dalam jam 6:10pm)

Family Trip to K.Kinabalu & Kundasang : Part 2

Sambungan citer tentang a minor lost to Kundasang

.

.

.

.

So we did a good lost since we were able to fill up our hungry tummy at Tuaran. But, only after we full, we realize instead of having ZURAIDAH as the name for the restaurant, the owner is actually a Chinese. When hubby told this to Lina’s (my fren) hubby, he said that there are a lot of Chinese Restaurants in Sabah using Malay / Islamic name and some force their workers to wear ‘tudung’…

What an annoying trick…

So,

After Tuaran, we heading to Ranau to reach Kundasang. It’s happened to be no Kundasang in the signboard. So the journey Tuaran – Kundasang took about 1 hour journey from Tuaran. Since we drove kancil, so it might be a little bit slower. 

 Small Temple @ Tuaran

3:30pm

Subhanallah…Subhanallah !!

Cantiknya. Indahnya. Ajaibnya…..(pinjam kata2 GadisBunga yang juga had her vacation there on the same time)

Walaupun berpuluh-puluh churches along the way which a little bit disturb my feeling, but I still feel stunning with the scenery in Kundasang.  Hati dibuai-buai dengan keindahan yang tak terkata. Hubby mengingatkan “Kalau ini Aspen kata indah…what would the heaven look like…”

MasyaAllah…Subhanallah

4:00pm

Check in Mt.Heritage Hotel & Spa which formerly known as Perkasa Hotel. 

Ok, a little bit about this hotel. I can say the room is very comfort for me and my family. My mom chose to sleep on Sofa Bed with Along while the Trio: Hubby, DeqYa and I cuddled on the King Size Bed. There were 2 televisions with Astro Channel.  There were also fridge, kettle, hair dryer and bath tub. 

RM360 / night as offered in internet inclusive of Breakfast and Dinner.

But!!

Aaa..makcik TERKONO here.  When they claimed the BF and Dinner are inclusive, I never thought that they will charge me for another pax!! Since I did informed them earlier that my group consist of 3 adults, and they promoted that Suite Room and menjanjikan kemanisan bla bla bla…bila check in pun terus je kasik meal coupon stated 3 PAXs!! So…I thought what I thought la kan….

Alih2…waktu nak check out, they charged me RM 403 instead of RM 360. WTF…kan?

Itu satu hal…

Rupa2nya, dalam meal coupon tu, although it stated there for 3 pax..but it should only be RM25/pax for dinner, and RM18/pax for breakfast. So…if we order something which is more expensive, we have to pay for the balance. 

In my case, we didn’t know about this yet. We did asked the waiter but he so confidence tell us that we can order anything on the menu…no need to pay.

Alih2, after Dinner…I had to pay another RM55

And only after that, we realized…the person that served us the menu is actually a Christian.

Astaghfirullah…

Patutla kami langsung tak lalu nak makan.

Memang tak luak…tapi adalah jugak secebis dua da masuk ke perut….

So, my advice…if you stay in any hotel in Kundasang, better not to include breakfast or dinner. Lagipun, roti bakar 2 keping + Telur 2 biji + Peas = RM 22.80

Ok2…takpe2, itu citer tak best.

Tapi citer best…right after Solat Jama’ Takhir di bilik, kami terus keluar ke Kinabalu Park !!

5:00pm

@ Kinabalu Park.

Conservation fee is RM3 / adults

Mula2 masuk memang lost. Tak tau nak kemana dan nak buat apa. Nak ke Botanical Garden inside the park, alih2 tutup kul 4:00 ghupernya. So, hubby bagi cadangan yang drastic and critical…hehehehe…

“Jom kita ikut trail panjat gunung…”

Tanya my mom, “Boleh ke mak?”

“Eh….boleh!!!” Wow!! My 65yrs old mother!!! Walaupun dah terbayang-bayang abg dan kakak2 Aspen akan maki2 Aspen sebab heret emak…tapi I believe this would be a great experience for her as well, so we decided to follow the Pandanus Trail which drag us to 590m above the sea level. 

But we felt a bit disappointed because when we end that trail, we still can’t get the view from any of the top points. However, we all were so happy and satisfy with the experience. 

All of us memang dah berpeluh2 and kepenatan, tapi…suhu yang sejuk dan udara yang sangat2 segar mengalihkan focus. 

Paling tak percaya my little Along. Dalam orang kata dia lembik, kurus…dia yang paling kuat dan laju dalam cabaran ini. Hehehehhe…DeqYa jangan citerla, berdukung 80% of the challenges. Princess Baby ayahla katakan…

 

7:00pm

At room…Di luar hujan. Cuaca jadi sangat sejuk tapi emak kata, still tak sesejuk Cameron Highland. Ada betulnya. 

Hubby and I amik kesempatan berjalan berdua-duaan kat luar. Tak lama pun…balik2 da kena sound dengan Along “Ibu ngan Ayah tinggalkan Along!!” Erm….alahai
