Family Gathering in Kundasang

We went to Kundasang for a family gathering on the last 28th-29th May, 2011. It was an awesome 4 hours journey from Keningau-Tambunan-Ranau-Kundasang! Eventhough we are 'macam sardin' in a car, because my cousin decided to join us last minute. So, 7 of us inside an invader...5 adults and 2 kids...but we still enjoyed it ;-)

We arrived safely in J.Residence, Kundasang around 3.00pm. OMG! I'm speechless to see the beautiful view. I really like this place and feels like I'm in heaven. Oh well, I am nature lover and I do love to stay in a cold ambiance, like here in Kundasang.

After few walks and picture taking around the villa, we went to our room and get some rest. Poor Randy, he felt down. He is too excited and ran down the hill with his brother. Luckily his brother managed to stop. Randy is totally upset, but thanks God, after hot shower bath, he's getting better than before.

Unfortunately, there's no electricity for an hour! I guess the J. Residence should provide a generator in the future. It's quite cold but I still need to take my hot shower. Anyway, hubby is so helpful to prepare a hot shower for me..he..he..ada gas juga, jerang air la :P

Dinner is prepared by my sister and her in laws families. Saya tukang makan saja..ha..ha..my eldest sister is a good chef, but I forgot to take photos of the yummy food seems I was so damn hungry! I remember the menus such as Sweet & Sour Prawn, Chicken Curry, Sayur Kailan, Sotong masak Kicap, Ayam masak Kicap and $@$@u (A must menu la..he..he..).

The chef teams

BBQ was started around 8.00pm. While waiting for the BBQ, we have fun altogether in karaoke time. I did sing Endless Love, a duet with my youngest brother. Sambil karaoke, sambil menari...memang happening giler!! Even my kids and hubby sempat bertwist. The winners are of course my mom and my eldest sister's brother in law! They are dancing non stop...aramaitiii

My hubby, kids and I went to sleep at 12 midnight after yummy BBQ supper, but the party was ended only around 3.00am!! Adui, kesejukkan saya tidur, tidak sedar-sedar sudah...

The next morning, we woke up around 7.00am. After hot shower, we went to the main villa for breakfast. My eldest sister and her team prepared fried mee and sambal belacan. Gosh, too spicy for me, so I don't dare to eat it. I was thinking about another 4 hours journey back to Keningau! Takut sakit perut tengah jalan...

Sayonara J. Residence! We will be back in December

We checked out early from the villa as we wanted to drop by at few places before going back to Keningau. Our first stop is at Kinabalu Park.

Our next stop is at the vegetable stalls. This is a must place to stop by if you are in Kundasang. Lots of fresh vegetables and flowers, but the price is quite expensive nowadays!

I'm looking for my favorite Sayur Timun Ranau

I bought strawberries

Mom bought bambangan for me

Then, when we reached Tambunan, we drop by at Mahua Waterfall. Another 6km journey from the junction.

Finally, we reached the waterfall. Very cold!

I love the view!

We really enjoyed our trip, thanks to hubby for being such a patience driver..he..he..penat tu kan? To my eldest sister and hubby, thanks for sponsored this wonderful stay at J. Residence.

J. Residence in Kundasang, Sabah

Last week, I went to Kundasang with my hubby and kids for family gathering. It was organized and sponsored by my eldest sister and her hubby. We really have a good time as we have a chance to meet my eldest sister's in laws families too.

Anyway, for family vacation in Kundasang, I would like to recommend you guys to stay in J. Residence. Here are some of the photos I managed to take.

Chocolates

I'm not really a chocolate lover, but once in while, especially when I go out for groceries shopping with my family, buying chocolate is a must! Ha...ha...because hubby will pay for it no matter how many I put inside the trolly! Ambil kesempatan namanya tu...kikiki...

Chocolate I love the most!

Oh yes, I prefer Cadbury Dairy Milk product especially Marble flavor. I bought it the first time when I go to Labuan with my family, in November, 2010.

Snickers is one of my favorite too, introduced by my beloved mom. However, I don't know why but very hard to find it here in Keningau. Luckily, one day I found it at Petronas Gas Station!

Don't worry about the calories. We didn't eat chocolate everyday, so just enjoy eating it :)

Additional Collections

Bought another two new baby t-shirts of Rev Edition Collections.

My 1st ever orange color in life :P

I had this collection in black color too

Hooray!

Another school holidays for my hubby and kids, starting 27th May-12th June, 2011. No matter what are you planning for, don't drink and drive ya. Enjoy your holidays too!

Advance Wishes For All The People in Borneo

Harvest festival or also known as Kaamatan Day will be celebrated in Sabah on this coming 30th-31st May, 2011. While Gawai Day will be celebrated in Sarawak on 1st-2nd June, 2011. I'm celebrating it both as I am Kadazan+Iban+Chinese (^_^)

Unfortunately, I can't go back to Sarawak but still will celebrate it with my families and relatives in Sabah. If you guys are happen to be in either Sabah or Sarawak on those days, don't miss to see the beauty contest (Unduk Ngadau or Kumang Gawai). That's the highlight of both celebrations.

Family Outing

Last 24th May, we went out for stationery shopping. Seems our eldest son is still on his exam, he needed more pencils and erasers, which is ALWAYS missing!

After that, we went to Pizza Hut for dinner :)

As usual, our favorites...

Strawberry Rave Yogurt Smoothie

Iced Chocolate Float

Island Supreme Pizza

Hut's Platter

Honey BBQ Wings

After dinner, we went to Gmart Mall. Guess what? Randall found RM37 on the floor but he told us to pass it to the staff at the counter. He said, 'Kalau ambil $ kira mencuri'! Good boy, Randall. Mom and dad are so proud of you.

I Am Who I Am

I saw these two beautiful letter of R on internet just now. It represents me, who love nature and butterfly. Well, I'm quite moody this few days. I realized that nobody is perfect in this world. I'm not saying that I'm a good person but maybe I care much about other people rather than myself.

Gosh, I don't want to think about it anymore. Life must goes on, huh?
