It’s the time for us to take a rest. Since from secondary school, I had the chance of living in hotels but not for those 5 stars. There are no much difference as they are available at everywhere. Now im at Kudat, definitely hotel is out of my choices. We chose Rungus Longhouse. – Bavanggazo Rungus Longhouse. 

This was our guide during our stay in longhouse. He is a humorous guy. He always talk something so different that make us laugh. He described toilet as “pejabat pos”. There are many funny things of him which I unable to share here. 
This pic was taken when we were on the way back as he was not around. Luckily we met him at half way (there is only one way out or enter), we just stopped him and requested for a photo session. The signboard behind us was just a background which is not related to us. LOL
Here is where we live and there is mosquito-net provided. 

I just felt like im the prince in ancient times which is greatly protected. LOL. 
We just ate at this bamboo table. Everything inside is made of bamboo but it is quite firm. 
Dinner time!!!! 




For the first 2 pictures, of course you all can see what is it. The third picture im not very sure coz I forgot the name. The last two were cooked by using santan. I never thought that I will be eating such a vege. The first pic is the banana flower which we saw the red one of banana tree. The second is bamboo shoot. Its really hard for me to eat it. I wondered why rungus people love to cook with santan. All of us cant bear with it and just able to force ourselves to finish half. Even the rice was cooked by santan!!!! Haihz!!
OOPs they caught my silly face!!!!! 
At night, there was a cultural performance show just for 4 of us. We were the only guest for that particular night. Performers were even more than us. The first one was the traditional dance and I had joined it. 
HEhE im danced so nice and compare to this ‘coward’!! LOL.. She scared the bamboo might chopped her leg!! 
Next was the performance of an old lady blowing a ‘seruling’ with her nose. 
Another traditional dance
Traditional guitar with two strings attached. 
The most impressed in the longhouse is their technique on making the necklace with beads and so on. This is how they make the cloth.

Kudat Part II
Lets have a look on my third destination. It is named Pantai Pak Pak. There is nothing much I can explain on it except pictures…. AS we reached there too early, we have nowhere to go and just go to the tip of borneo earlier then planned hoping that there will be any special place we should visit. The result was this beach which is out of expectation. 



We arrived at The Tip of Borneo around 4pm but the sunset time is around 6.30pm. Why we choose to wait instead of going round? The road to the tip is rocky and uneven. You are not able to bear the journey for 4 times in a day except you owned a four wheel drive. 


So you can see my lazy style!!!!! haihz!! 
Our main focus was the sunset view there. It was so beautiful and clear. We can view thoroughly from the sky and vanish at the horizontal line of the sea. 



The wind is so strong there and even can blow me away if I not be aware of it. Look at their hairs….

Kudat Part I
Msg to MDBC - Forgive me for putting this post(again a post bout travelling) to KUDAT. A place well-known as The Tip of Borneo, the highest viewpoint for sunset.
I will not talk much on preparation work, but i just directly go through on places that we visited. We supposed to visit this place since first year but due to many reasons, we cant make it. As now we are third year students and we no longer can wait, we decided to go just at weekend for two days one night. ( Just to reduce my regret for paying so much to Sabah) LOL!!
The first destination of us were the habitat of this bird. 
They are more lucky then human as they can go for walk at a nice beach. Let me show you the proof. The footprints of ostrich are more then human's one. 
The seaside beside the ostrich farm is so wide and clear. Ostrich shit can be found everywhere. And this is my master piece named 'Love Shit'
The end of the farm, there is a part for ostrich show but then we no chance to watch it. They jsut let us to ride on it and take photographs. When i was on it, i felt a bit guilty as my weight is approaching seventies. However it still can support my weight without struggling. LOL!! 
If you wan to see their sex intercourse process click the video below. There is one normal sex and one is lesbian. Black in colour is male while the grey one is female.
(lesbian ostrich movie cant be uploaded due to techinical problem...sorry for disappointing)
We saw those alive one and i show you next is the dead one. Just left skin.....
Besides the ostrich there is a 'burung tiong' there. It know how to say assamualaikum and bising!! hehe!!
There are some old fashion house or better said wooden built, which are in bad condition. In such a place, what do will y ou think be inside? 
Sure are those fairies and master who mastering some ultimate skills like us....LOL

The second destination was our accomodation but i will explain it details in part 2 under dinner sub topic. Before that, i show some of our lunch pics!!! All are seafood meal. 
Tomyam Seafood Soup
3 Tastes Prawns
Dried Chilies Crabs
Butter Fried Sotongs
Among those foods, the most that i like is the prawn.
1) No need to peel its shell. All done
2) The taste suits our appetite
3) The prawns are fresh and full-flesh
Total damage of this meal was RM80.20 Not too expensive not too cheap. JUst normal. Just the environment of eating already worth for the payment. It is located just beside the seashore and we can enjoy the wind and also the view. It is named Esplanade Sidek. If you lived in Kudat and you are a couple then there is a place where you much bring your gf, coz the places around all lie HOng Kong movies port. You can flirt there while enjoyng the view at night....Syok!!!

Creativity of Modern Student
Today was my first day to attend lecture on principle of management. This course is taught by a big size lecturer but with a funny characteristic without losing the sense of strictness.
The first time i deal with him was during registration time. I gave him 2 registration forms on behalf of my coursemate. However he noticed that and asked me who is the other one.
I said:" coursemate."
he:" Why she is not here, where are she?"
I replied:" She is at hometown at the moment and mayb due to some family problem." (im telling a lie)
He replied:" If there were any family problems ask her to write me a letter then i wil sign for her, you are trying to find an excuse for your friend!!! Your girlfriend?"
I swinged my head and just smile without sayig anything. He is my lecturer!!
This post focus is not his characteristic but his students in the class. He was teaching management on doing something like time management and so on. He gave us a simple example of producing 100 packets nasi lemak.
He asked:" What is the ingredients of making a nasi lemak?"
................................................
Students answer:"Rice!!"
he answered:"yes of course i noe nasi lemak got nasi, what else??"
Students:" Lemak!!"
He:"(laughing) what a nice answer. nasi lemak got nasi and lemak."
After he pointed out all those ingredients such as samabls, cucumber, ikan bilis, and so on, he further asked how is the process of doing 100 package in the morning? What we should start and which should be the last?
..............................................................
Again after a thought, students answer:" cook the rice."
But he say no, and keep asking what are other options. Some say boil the egg and some say cook the curry and some say cut the cucumber. He said all wrong.
............................................................
Again he re-asked his question, a student answer like this:" Pluck the banana leaves." (ring of laughter)
He reli choked with what we answered. Finally he still accept the answer of plucking and askign whats nexT? Those creative students said:" Wash the banana leaves."
Again he wanna fainted. He shouted at students:" Ok, nothing more do with banana leaves, assume all done and what suppose to do next??" Silence..................
So whats your idea of preparing nasi lemak? If you match my lecturer answer, you are pass in management studies. (no answer from my coursemate)

Application of Physics
Fellow students were back to their own university to have their responsibilities done. Some are last year while others are last second year. Our scope of study seems narrowing and converging towards our major study which are relevant to our future perspective. Assignments are coming, test and quiz are coming. From a very relax life back to a suffocating one. The word which students often brings at mouth is 'stress'.
I do preview some of my senior left notes and im scratching my head as i have totally no idea of it. Previously, at least i will understand what am i learning but now.....
SPEECHLESS
Yesterday night while i was trying to relax myself, i approached my housemate and disturbed them. I saw something so logic in her msn message box. NOw physics student start to apply it please......
P = F / A
where P = pressure (which i translate it into stress)
F = force (which i define it as those assignments, test and quiz)
A = surface of where you apply to (so this is pointing to ourselves)
The formula is pressure equals to force divided by the surface. It means that larger surface will reduce pressure recived as it is distributed and vice versa.Since we are reciving force from our lecturers, studies and so on, how can we reduce stress? It is so obvious from the formula.
The only way to reduce stress is to increase surface of ourselves. It simple says that eat more, exercise less, carrying with one objective-->> be a fat guy/ girl. By increasing our surface stress is widely distributed and we wont be so suffering.
(should i post it in to science direct as a journal? LOL)

She'd gone
She’d gone. She was another lost for me. Few months ago when my friend always picking her to clinic or hospital, they said in such a case, my family would have a funeral. Indeed, she fight for so long, in half year, she undergo 2 operations and admitted to hospital for 3 times. Finally, the last time, she cant stand anymore. She had to leave us. I cant even pay her a visit to see her last face in hospital.
Still etched in my memory, the day before she went to KL hospital she told me:” I will be going for few days and will be back soon, don’t worry, take good care of the house.” I just nodded. I never thought that was the last time I saw her. 2 weeks later, I back Sabah. Listen from my uncles that she seems getting well and hopefully can discharge in few days time. I was glad to hear that. However they never never thought that it was those Chinese said 回光返照. A day later, she cant eat and vomited. She became very weak and cant talk at all.
The regret for my grandpa last time was I cant see his last face as well. Few months ago I told my family that I don’t want it to happen once again in front of me. My grandpa was rushed back to hometown when dr said he cant stand no longer. But once he reach our house he passed away where I still in school. I just able to genuflect towards his coffin and told him that I was back. Im doing the same again to my grandma. I cant pay her a last visit when in hospital time and this was my forever regret which cant be repay.
Morning 6.30am I get the call from my mom to get knew of this news. After my registration I rushed back to her funeral at once. When I arrived at my home, I saw all my uncles and aunties looks like nothing and they just talk and laugh like usual, so do I. I joked with my relatives, we laugh during the ceremonies and just like nothing.
I guessed myself in such an atmosphere I wont cry. 2 night ceremonies done. That was the last day and we need to send my grandma the last journey. The ‘culprits’ that made me cry were them.
They did nothing but just played some sorrow music. Especially when they played 念亲恩. The music and lyrics touched my heart. It controls my mind and I cant hold my tears. Although Im not her son or daughter but just grandson. I will recalled the days I lived with her, the days she scolded me or I scolded her, days when she still able to walk. All jogging in my mind. They were so clear and fresh. When I kneed down to send my grandma last journey, I did cried again!!!
I will never see my grandma forever in my future but just in photos and memories. May she rest in peace in another world. I will miss her, forever and ever.
