The Tip of Borneo

and..another week before that.. :)
19 July 2008 – 20 July 2008

Yep. Tip of Borneo..sorry..u have to see my face for the 5th time. But ur just TOOOO beautiful to be admired.
(^-^)
Was down and out in Kudat 3 weeks ago, in awe with the magnificent Simpang Mengayau,,drenching a few drops of honey (and its wax), and buying myself a symbol of my Little Life’s Pleasure – a mini gong (key chain) from the Sumangkap village.

Trip number five was a bit different from the rest of the trips that I’ve made before to the Tip. We stayed there until sunset and sing ourselves crazy at the oh – so – pretty beach. The fellas truly enjoy the moment – u can see it in their eyes and hear it in their voices. I was glad I made this trip with them.

We decided to have a go at the longhouse.
Hmm..I never stayed in a long house before..
Its great!haha.. and felt so peaceful when sleeping in my kelambu. I would recommend you to stay for a night or two at the Bavanggazo Rungus Longhouse and experience the traditional food, dances, crafts..and hospitality of the people. 5 stars? No stars can match this place – so original yet comfortable.

O ya..at the Gombizau Honey Bee Farm..no..i was not stung by a bee.. – we get to see bees in action (making honey la..), and taste the original (sucking the honey from the wax).
Sweet, lovely,, although a bit guilty of taking honey now – watch the BEE MOVIE please people.

Last stop was at the Sumangkap Gong Making village.
Nope, there were no people playing gongs to welcome us – but there were a lot of gongs in the making (^_^)
I wish the place was more organized rather than simply a competition of who can sell the most gongs.. L sad,, but true.
It’s a very beautiful village with a great strength. But not really well – taken care of, I would say. Nevertheless, the trip was still fulfilling.
Would I still go to Kudat or the Tipof Borneo?
Of course! (^_^)
