Kokol Farmstay

On the 5th June 2016 which is Sunday, we, the three of us (hubby, Gabriel and I) went for a short trip to Kampung Kokol. We've been there before but this year would be our first time to visit there.

The place is just like Kundasang with the cool breeze weather. Because the location is up at hills which is at a higher ground, you can see the outstanding view from up there. The Kota Kinabalu city view and the sea as well really amazing and so peaceful. Added with cool breeze, it makes you calm and peace at heart, far from the crowd and congestion in the city. I'll always amazed with this creation of God when I reached here. As if i want to be here every weekend, just sit quietly facing the view with my book and maybe updating my blog.

Few years ago, we had been to Kokol Haven Resort and Kasih Sayang Resort at Kampung Kokol. This time around, we tried out the Kokol Farmstay also located at Kampung Kokol. These three accomodations are situated not far from each other, thus you'll not loss or misguided to somewhere.

The Kokol Farmstay rate is around RM120-Rm180 per night. It's a 2 storey homestay with cafe and bbq facilities and meeting room as well. We've never been staying here, perhaps someday not just a day trip. Could bring other family members as well to stay here.

So, let photos do the talking. 

That is all for now. Thank you for stopping by here. See you again in my next post. Till then have a great weekend. Oh ya, to those who haven't been to this place, perhaps this weekend would be nice for a day trip. 

God bless!

Won't Be the Same Anymore

On our way home from Ranau to Kota Kinabalu last week, we get to see the latest view of our one and only the Majestic Mount Kinabalu.

I was saddened by the current view of our Mount Kinabalu which we used to be proud of. Ever since the 5th June earthquake incident followed by the aftershock tremors, the mountain appearance now has changed.

4.3 Scale of Tremor

It was 5.33pm yesterday when i was lying on the bed to have a rest and suddenly i saw the ceiling moving and later i felt the whole house was moving too.

I thought i was dizzy and tired. But hubby suddenly stressed out " gempa bumi, gempa bumi..! " oh my, it was scary moment because i thought the tremors would last long. It was like 3-5 seconds, i can't recalled but it was quite that long.

And later i found out that the tremor was in 4.3 scale. Posted in Meteorology page on Facebook that it was 4.3 scale of tremor. Most of friends in KK, Tanjung Aru and Putatan also felt the tremors.

This was the 2nd tremor i have experienced after the first one in 5th June 2015. I didn't encountered any of those aftershock tremors though it was stated nearly 90 aftershocks ever since the first one.

Let us pray for the safety of our people in Sabah. Pray for Sabah, Pray for Ranau. 

Another Incident After Another

It has been almost 2 weeks after the first earthquake incident which was the strongest so far and followed by a lot of aftershock tremors.

The recent weather here in Ranau also isn't helping and contributes to worst condition. The heavy rain has affected a lot of lives here. The level of water in the river has increased. Mudslide and flood are now affecting the water dam too and has cause the water disruption. Water are not safe for drinking anymore.

Mudslide which are now flows to the river in Ranau.

How dangerous these are.. Flood and mudslide.. Causing the road been blocked.

Hubby has stocked up 3 boxes of drinking water and it is obviously they are not enough for our use for a week. You know this clean water have to be used for cooking too beside of drinking.

Ranau town now has running out of drinking water supply. All shops now running out of supply. People has been buying a lot to stocked up clean water for drinking at their homes.

Oh my.. Another incident after another. I just hope these difficult things solved soon and hoping that no more natural disasters will happened again in the future. Dear Lord please hear our prayer. 

Earthquake in Sabah

This pic was taken 4 days before the earthquake incident (5th June 2015).

The most devastating event of earthquake in Sabah that took 18 lives. Most of them are Singaporean students and it was really heartbreaking to hear such news.

Rest in peace to the victims who perished in the earthquake event. My heart goes to the affected family. Be strong and may God fills your heart with strength and peace. Amen

Another tremors at 2.30am on 13th June 2015 but i didn't felt it. Because i was too sleepy. Hubby wake me up but i was too sleepy and went back to bed..

Dear Lord please protect Sabah from any danger. Please hear our prayer. 

I was so scary thinking that these tremors could have been worst. Who knows in the future.

Oh God, what is happening.. What is happening nowadays. Dear friends and family, please.. please pray for our country.. Pray for our safety..

We arrived at Ranau yesterday. As we enter the house, we were shocked all those ketchup bottles now on the floor and broken. 

We were not in Ranau when the earthquake happened on last 5th June. So it almost 1 week plus we in KK. 

Need to clear these up as fast as we could before gabriel walks to the kitchen. Dangerous!

Dear Lord Jesus, please protect Sabah especially those place which affected with earthquakes. Protect us from any danger. 

God bless Sabah. Amen
