I'm a nature lover. I love watching sunset, sunrise, mountains, oceans and beaches. Not to forget that I love greens. In short, anything to do with nature, I'm a full supporter. As a civilian who works from Mondays through Fridays, having a Public Holiday on Friday means the world to me. It is like having such a long weekend!
Here's the story. It was an unplanned trip with my Sarawakian friend who currently works in Kota Kinabalu. She is Jue, who planned all this. At first, she just asked me if whether I'm free on that particular weekend. I said, I'm free and there you go. For any plans she planned, I simply said yes to her.
It was on 31st March 2018 (Saturday) that Jue and her two other colleagues brought me for a road trip stretching from Kundasang to Kudat for the whole weekend. I can't recall for how many times I've been to Kundasang, but truthfully saying, I never witnessed any of the Mount Kinabalu's view every time I went there.
The journey took about 2 hours from the city of Kota Kinabalu to Kundasang. I was so happy to finally see the mountain in a clear view! Of course whenever I took a bus to go back to my hometown in Sandakan, I always see the mountain's view. But to intentionally come to Kundasang to see the mountain, it was my first time as my previous visits were all failed. If it wasn't because of the cloudy day, it must be because of the rain. So this time around, it was the perfect time!
I couldn't describe how I was feeling that time. Obviously, if you had the luck, you'll see the mountain in full view. If not, you might have to come back again some time. My friend Jue was also feeling the same way as I was. The mountain is the pride of being a Sabahan. The symbol of unity in Sabah. Wherever you go in Sabah, even though the mountain can only be seen on the western parts of Sabah, as a Sabahan, I'm sure everyone is very proud of the mountain.
The most hot spot place here in Kundasang is none other than the infamous Desa Dairy Farm which Malaysian people call it as the " New Zealand" Malaysia. This is because the dairy cows are grown there and overlooking the magnificent Mount Kinabalu, it is undeniably the most visited place in Kundasang. Even the locals here are also very excited on taking photos with the cows and the mountain's view.
Having been there for a quite a few times, I didn't feel any surprises. However, the ice cream is like a must-buy food there. Or should we call it as "dessert"? On top of that, I just wanted to enjoy the view of the mountain and see the cows eating the grass. Also, I wanted to climb the mountain, but I don't know if I'm physically fit enough to climb it since I do have breathing problems sometimes.
In a nutshell, Alhamdulillah for this trip. It's truly such a memorable one for me because finally, I got to see the mountain in a closer view and take beautiful photos of it. Most importantly, I'll never feel bored of coming over to this place again in the future.
Here are some pictures I took during my trip there.
p/s: I'll talk about my journey and trip to Kudat in my next entry!
