2nd Day Trip

In my previous posting, I did show some of the pictures taken on the second day in KK. We woke up early and had our breakfast at one of the "Kedai Laut" - Celestea's word nearby the hotel. On that day, I was not well. My throat was sore and I got flu. However, I was still in the mood of excitement to explore Sabah.

After we had our breakfast, we started our journey to Kinabalu Park. Hafeez was the driver. Me as the co-driver and the deejay. Celestea, the tourist guide cum the entertainer - "Telipok-telipok", Meq Lyn -?????? and Ijadz, (lupalah?!????!!!). Our journey memang best - as usual I kutuk Lyn and she got angry, Hafeez kacau Lyn and she got angry and even Celest pun ada kacau Lyn. Whatever it was, the journey was very interesting. So Meq Lyn, if you read this, jangan lah marah, tanpa mu mesti perjalanan kami akan boring dan kusam.

Our first spot was Tamparuli. Actually kan.....we salah masuk simpang. The correct way is to go straight instead of turning right. Suddenly, we were in Tamparuli. So, Hafeez decided to make a u-turn when Ijadz said "Eh, signboard tu kata Jambatan Gantung Tamparuli". Apalagi we people, we went straight to the direction and we reached the bridge. The Tamparuli Bridge is actually a suspension bridge (exactly the same that we have in Taman Awam Miri) but this bridge has its own value. Along the short walk to the bridge, each of us were singing the "Jambatan Tamparuli" song with our own wordings. That is because the song is in Kadazan language and we only heard it several times.

I explained to them about the story of the song based on what had been told by one of my friends. I said, "Kalo korang nak tahu, this song is about jambatan gantung yang rendah dan bila air pasang, di pertengahan jambatan akan ditelenggami air. Jadi orang pakai high heel pun boleh basah kakinya". Hehehehehe...........

After we took many poses, we returned to our main aim which is to reach Kinabalu Park. To be continued.......
