3 years of University, I am
grateful for the privilege and opportunity to explore the natural beauty of
Sabah together with my Uni besties.
Better get a day off at Tagal
Tinopikon Park before vomit blood from radiation poisoning because of Uni
report.
The car ride to Tagal Tinopikon
Park is not that far, just took around 45 minutes. 👀
The freshness of the air brings a clear mind to me and I’ve never felt so refreshing before. Spending time in nature has allow us to be soothed and healed.
As we are getting away from city, the silence of nature has brought us a mysterious calming effect, allowing our soul to be at peace with our thoughts where troubles are temporarily forgotten. 🙆
Upon arrival, the first thing we
experience is the suspending bridge, the shake bridge cause everyone to be
wobbly, and at the same time made us felt excited for the trip. 😱
After the bridge, we met up with
our tour guide, he bring us to a place for us to settle down our stuffs. Then everyone changed into proper
attire and got ready to have fun!
P/S ➔ Personally, think that the
toilet is not too dirty, 🚻 so no worries when visiting here.
OK up to the mountain we go! 💦
The guide demonstrated how to tap
a rubber tree, and even allowed us to try it, although it’s a little bit
difficult (hahaha).
Along the track, the guide shown and described all sorts of flora, and when we tried
chewing on Tongkat Ali leaves, I instantly felt cheated. It was unimaginably bitter. 😝
At the end of the hike, is a waterfall, Waterfall, WATERFALL!!!
Just like monkeys on the loose, we wasted no time to get into the waters.
Although the water is chills to the bones, it was fun nevertheless!
P/S ➜ Algae are all over the stones causing it to be slippery, caution is urged.
The main event of today trip –
Water Rafting!
It was super exciting and I had a
lot of fun 💗
However, unfortunately the water flow
is not rapid and the course is abit too short.
Although the journey for water rafting is "not too extreme",
but we still enjoyed playing all day long,
and even topple over the rubber boat on accident (hahaha 😆)
According to the guide, if would
have been more fun if it was raining the day before.
After rafting, we went fish
feeding!
We’ve purchased a few packs of
fish pellets and feel the fishes while dipping our feet in the waters.
Fishes swarming again and again
over our feet is itchy scary 💢 and enjoyable at the same time. 😛
Feeding the the fishes while
holding the pellet is a different sensation due to the lip of the fish on the
fingers.
After have our fill of fun, time
for lunch 🍴
Food provided there is cooked
using firewood by the local tribe women, it’s different in term of flavour.
While we’re eating, the park also
prepared a performance of traditional Sumazau dance.
Batik Colouring followed after
lunch!
Originally, I was worried that I
lack the artistic talent and couldn’t draw anything.
But at the end, it was colouring!
We each was given a Rafflesia on a piece of cloth to colour however we see
fit.
Once we’re finish, staff helped
us hang the cloth to dry, and it is quite interesting.
While waiting for our masterpiece
to dry, it was free time for all yeah!
There are kampung plaything such
as (Slingshot,
Dart, Sumpit) made available for us at the park.
During this time, some of us went swimming,
while some took pictures.
And after the our masterpiece has dried, we packed out stuff and went home!
Definitely I wish to come again with my buddies! 👬👭 Before we end this blog post, let's watch a short video so you know more about our interesting trip 😍 After the video, if you're interested to visit Tagal Tinopikon Park, get it from JOM HOLIDAY at www.jomholiday.com.mywww.jomholiday.com.my or visit their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/jomholidaytravel/
