Tambunan's Warrior..... Gombunan

If anybody going to Tambunan, im very sure will see this statue, well known as "Gombunan" the ever legend warrior of Tambunan. Easy to find bah...in the centre of Tambunan. There is believe saying, Gombunan souls were locked in here to keeps protecting the villagers since dulu2 ..until now

Gombunan ...was descripe very strong and masculine man

Secara ringkasnya, Pahlawan Gombunan adalah merupakan seorang Ketua Puak yang sangat baik hati dan sentiasa menjaga halehwal masyarakat kampung pada masa zamannya. Berketurunan Nunukragang, Gombunan adalah merupakan antara mereka yang pertama membuka kawasan Tambunan. Malangnya ketika pemerintahan beliau..dia telah dibunuh oleh PuakTonsundung. Semasa ketiadaan dia Puak Tamadon telah membantu Puak Gombunan untuk menentang Puak Tonsundung...dan atas kerjasama ini telah membuatkan Puak Tosundung kalah ...dan dari sana lah asal usul nama TAMBUNAN telah diperolehi.......(wah bagus juga kefahaman sa ni pula kan haha) tapi asal usul Cerita Tambunan boleh juga di baca disini ... em boleh buat filem :P

Well...we was here ....and been here for few times :) hidup Gombunan! may i have his spirit ...

Tambunan Mee Sup

Among the local Sabah favourites....mee sup kalu orang sini bilang! Consider Sabah is very lucky to have a variety of Soup...& ini adalah antara yang terfemes di Tambunan

kalau mau rasa ini mee sup Tambunan just go to pasar makan Tambunan.....

plenty of choices tapi for sure this soup are well known among the Tambunan's people...dare to try? :P

Nunuk Ragang Monument, Tampias Ranau

If we travel all the way from Kota Kinabalu - Sandakan - Kota Kinabalu, im very sure you will pass by this anomalous monument, by the road side, located at Kg Tampias, Ranau (boleh google, cari juga). This extraordinary structure well known as "Nunuk Ragang Monument" atau orang kita bilang "Tugu Peringatan Nunuk Ragang". Got the chance to drop by here with 1 friend yg sot after menjelajah Sandakan, Kudat & Beluran :P

what did u can see from this structure? Eyes? Nose?

from inside look....since only me & my friend during this trip, it was quite & although it noon time, yaii its creepy...

Inside its empty except for some faded pictures and descriptions & this make this place like abandoned. Swallows have made this building their home and bird shit litter the floor. .. but the Nunuk Ragang event is held here annually, (macam every July) and they probably clean this place up once a year.

Nah apa itu Nunuk Ragang? Nunuk Ragang is a legendary red banyan tree traditionally located at the intersection of the left (Liwagu Kegibangan) and right (Liwagu Kawananan) branches of the Liwagu River to the east of Ranau and Tambunan in Sabah. The word "Nunuk" is a Dusun word for the Banyan tree, and "Ragang" comes from "aragang", the Dusun word for red. It was under this giant banyan tree that the village of Nunuk Ragang was founded and flourished.....

"Nunuk Ragang merupakan satu kaitan yang rapat dalam membuka lembaran sejarah yang dikaitkan dengan masyarakat KadazanDusun. Melalui beberapa kajian yang dilakukan oleh beberapa pengkaji budaya, telah berjaya membongkar asal usul masyarakat KadazanDusun. Masyarakat KadazanDusun mempercayai bahawa nenek moyang mereka berasal dari satu tempat yang bernama Nunuk Ragang yang bermakna “Pohon Ara berwarna merah”. Tempat tersebut terletak di satu kawasan hulu Labuk yang pada masa sekarang terletak di Daerah Ranau" ....nahh kawwww...seterusnya boleh dibaca disini....

Huguan Siow description & criteria. Huguan Siou is the title honored to the most prominent Kadazan Dusun leader in Sabah. Gelaran "Huguoan Siou" sangatlah sinonim di Sabah and this title is very close to the heart of each and every Sabahan....

We went inside but not to long (pandai bediri wooo tu bulu2 tangan) hehe

More photos about this monument & the nunuk ragang festival can also can see from here (http://www.mysabah.com/nunuk-ragang)
