Nature after Effect: Kadamaian Waterfall and Kiau massive landslide

The locations of the nature disaster near Kinabalu

The recent heavy rain and water from Kinabalu Mount change the landscape of the waterfall. Imagine how much water required to change the waterfall looks and painted some of the trees with orange-brownish colours. Huge amount of water rushing through Kadamaian waterfall is believed to be due to blockage of the v-shaped upper river. As the blockage cleared by the force, water pouring through the the waterfall. I've seen friends posted a photo in their facebook of a violent water at this waterfall and a massive landslide happened at Kiau not far from Kinabalu.

DIY - Hyundai Inokom Atos Starter Removal

I replaced my Suzuki Jimny SJ410 starter sometime ago and it is quite easy because plenty of space in SJ410 engine bay. However, the Atos compact engine bay is really challenging for starter removal. Actually, a hard start had happened to Atos since few months and recently getting worse. Service centre diagnosed as starter problem. The battery is new but very hard to start especially after turned off the engine and need to wait for few minutes then the Atos can be started with two or three key turn. It is very annoying when turning off the engine while filling fuel at petrol station. Wifey asked at service centre the new starter, guess how much.. RM1K++.. matai.. crazy expensive.

Finally, I asked the regular shop at Tamparuli and need to order (no stock already) with price is ab...

How to go to Kundasang?

First of all, thank you for arriving into my blog. Whether you will arrive in Kota Kinabalu by an airplane (Terminal 1 or Terminal 2), sea or land, I would like to welcome you to Sabah Below the Wind and also welcome to Kundasang, the home for Sabah vegetables and Mount Kinabalu. I know my page is not really informative but hopefully can benefit to you. My blog receives quite many references from search engines looking for "Kundasang map", "peta kundasang", "how to go to Kundasang from KK" and some other similar keywords. Thus, I will try as possible to briefly explain how to go to Kundasang from Kota Kinabalu. It’s a bit sad actually that Sabah’s public transport is not yet fully developed to integrate all important destinations at the moment. However, I’m hoping that the Sabah Government will work out on this issue as soon as possible to provide better public transport links to popular destinations especially Kundasang. Normally, when friends ask...
