on the last day of the Sabah trip, we went to Monsopiad Cultural Village, which cost us RM20 per pax. we got up later abit this day cause all of us were half past dead. we separated in 2 cars which me and alex became drivers of the day. upon reaching the cultural village, we were alil bit late for the show, after registering, we quickly move to the stage to catch the performance and luckily we were still on time. the show was nice and around 1 hour long. we also joined in the bamboo dance, it was fun. during the performance, the workers there served us drinks too.
after the show, we went to redeem a complimentary rice wine because it was supposed to be served during the show, never mind, better late than nothing.
after rice wine session, a nice lady tour guide showed us around the village, first was the hanging bridge, this bridge is built for unsure reason, maybe too much money kot. haha.
then next to the house of skulls, in this house, it showcase the skulls collected Monsopiad, the true kadazan warrior. all of these skulls are real human skulls. also, there were many traditional items in the house such as traditional accessories and pictures of the high priests. we were supposed chant something which shown on top of the door before entering but we did not. according to the tour guide, it is ok because the door was opened and there were people inside, so we were lucky. haha
then back to the village, we had fun while playing some traditional games and tour around the village to check out some of the traditional tools and long house. unfortunately alex was not feeling well due to minor food poisoning.
then we went back to town to have lunch and alex left us as he needed some rest. we had triangle chicken rice. after lunch, we bought some dried seafood at very low price.
then we headed back to elsa place on 2 separate trips, cause only had 1 car. me again the driver. haha. upon reaching home, took a quick shower and pack up everything and become the driver yet again to fetch them to the airport. the traffic jam in Sabah during the rush hour is almost like in KL. i was stucked in a jam while fetching the second group. we were almost late for the flight but thanks for alex's fast and furious driving skill, we were on time to collect the boarding pass. had dinner at the airport and rush to the departure hall. and board the plane and find our seats. i was sleeping throughout the journey. damn tired wei
we reached KL LCCT about 2230 and there was no transport for us to go back malacca. cheong hong and mei syn went back with cheong hong's sister. then left 6 of us spent the night at LCCT. i was unable to sleep well throughout the night. watched Euro'08 and lepak at McD.
we catch the earliest bus back to PuduRaya (0630) and bought the 0900 bus back to malacca. i slept throughout both of the trip and luckily did not missed the stop from LCCT back to Pudu. reached malacca at 1100 and finally, home sweet home after 11days of adventurous trip.
love the trip though.
