Kundasang Day Trip

Opppsssss... so long didn't write on my blog d. =D Time to write back since i have a nice trip today.                  
                  On 28 of November, me and my friends planned an one day trip to Kinabalu Park and Kundasang area. I cannot use my company car to go up there , so end up we need to rent a car to go up there. So i asked my friend to help me rent a car, but i want a Viva cause Viva got better engine power compare to Kancil. Instead he tell only have Kancil but it's 850cc one. Then i thought it's ok to have 850cc one rather than 660cc one. So decided to that rent on booking.
                  Early in the morning i woke up happily and can't wait for the trip to start. I drive my way to my friend's hostel and reach there saw him testing the rent car with the agent. The car seem ok from far, don't how it look from near la. XD
                 When i go near to the car, i felt "F***". [What the hell, this is a 660cc Kancil lei, why the agent said got 850cc one. Got cheated. =.=" ] from my heart. Ok, i don't mind.Continue with the happy feeling of can't wait for the trip to start.
                 Our one day trip start on 8.45am in the morning. Kundasang here we come .... =D
We make our 1st pit stop at Tamparuli for our breakfast. I order an famous Tamparuli mee goreng... It's nice and delicious.

We continue our journey up the hill to Kinabalu Park. Until now i just realize that this Kancil is so under power to go to Kinabalu park. I was so damn, so i have to force it to bring us to Kinabalu park by mean necessary. Me and Beng quarrel on the way to the destination cause we got cheated by the agent of the rented car company. =.="
Me and Beng were talking in the front seat , which i didn't realize that at the back seat my friend Lynz have fallen asleep due to lack of sleep at night. XD
Oppssss... she's asleep. 
Don't mind me, i was driving the car. Beng took this photo one. XD   We drive till Kinabalu Park at 12pm sth and it's too bad that all the cloud were at the peak of the mountain. ='(   So no kinabalu mountain photo for us.

Map of Kinabalu trail

wow... someone woke up d.

U can start to see the cloud all over the place d. Meaning wan to rain liao.

Me posting for photo.

                   So we ended our Kinabalu Park visit with photo shoot at the view point where u see in this last photo. So we move to our next destination which is Kundasang. Kundasang here we come.....
When we reach there, we didn't stop to buy stuff just drive slow and watch for any goods to buy. But we did stop to ask direction to get to DESA cattle farm in that area. Which is quite near to Kundasang market from where i imagine it will be. When we drive till a point where the road was so hard this 660cc kancil to climb. We almost give up to go up to DESA cattle farm. Lucky i did try to force the kancil to drive up the hill to reach DESA cattle farm. It's hard but in the end i still manage to drive that car uphill till the destination. Drive uphill using gear 1 and gear 2 only. >.<  
We all enjoy the nice view from the DESA cattle farm. Lucky this time i really make it to here. I won't be regret that i haven't reach here. It's really a place to go to.
Welcome to DESA

I enjoy the view and fresh air

Clearly we have bought ourselves some fresh milk from the farm.

Nice green grass everywhere. This is so nice.

Seem like everyone got lots of fun here taking photo.
Next we head to the factory there wait for the cow to line up to get their milk pump. O.o
They actually line up to get the milk pump using machine. Seriously, have a look for urself.


wow... that is alot of cow.

well, it's time to go to other place already after seeing these big cow get their milk pump by machine and the packaging of the milk box.
                Now we head for our last stop of place in Kundasang, Kundasang War Memorial. Which it's just right on the way back to the Kundasang Market place. This memorial is build to remember all the brave servicemen that fought in War World II from Sandakan to Ranau. The design of the memorial is based on English design, which give you the feel that ur in London or Australia.
The entrance of the memorial.
The introduction of the memorial.
I see an Australia map on the ground.
opppsss....lucky i didn't step on them.
The tablet at the end of the 1st garden.
CCTV? where? well, it's well hidden till i can't find it.
walking up the stair posting for photo shoot.
In an English Garden.
This nice for wedding photo shoot.
This the end which is the last place of this memorial
Time to head home.
                     It's late already, we need to head back to KK before sundown and it's raining meaning some part of the road will be cover by the cloud so we need to drive carefully back down to KK.

It's a slow drive home due the condition of the weather and the car in front. I am impress of the kancil that we rent, which still manage to bring us uphill and downhill from KK to Kinabalu park, Kundasang and Desa cattle farm. I though we are not going to make it. It was a successful trip for us. We all have a great time taking photo (almost finish my phone batt just for taking photo and video recording) and sightseeing. I really next trip we can go to Kudat but too bad i being transfer to KL soon so maybe next trip will be in KL or Genting ? hahaha... Anyway, this is great memory for me and my friends too. We enjoy and laugh all the way from KK to Kundasand and from Kundasang till KK. Hope i got stuff to update my blog soon. see ya all.....
