Mount Matang (30.8.2009)

I'm climbing Mount Matang with my father and sister on 30.8.2009. We arrive at the entrance of Mount Matang about 7.20am, Mount Matang is one of the National Park in Sarawak which us call as Kubah National Park. Then we slowly climb up to the mountain, along the way up to the mountain, there are many kinds of plants that we can see.
In here, I just take a few snaps of the plants, because there are too many to take. This is also include the wild mushroom that is in orange colour. When  we have arrive at the submit of the mountain, there is a tower where we can have our view more clear from the mountain. The tower is very high, which we can see the whole mountain from there. We arrive about 10.20am at the submit, thats mean take us about 3 hours in climbing the mountain.
After taking a rest there, then we head down to the mountain, we reah the entance of the mountain about 12.10pm, going down is more fater than climbing up, but when going down, it take more strength than going up. We have soemthing to eat after going down, then we head to Telaga Air, which is a small village that is near by. We bought some fish at the village, because the village is near the sea and the fish is very fresh and big in size. We going back to kuching about 1.30pm.

Th first day on their landing, we have bring them to Kuching Festival (Food Fair), where can serach for their Kuching local food, which is their main objective on coming to this trip. They really enjoy that night, since there are many choice of food where they can't get any where else. Then they have depart to Sibu on about 12am midnight by using two vans and a wira. I didn't follow over that night, because I still have a paper to sit in the next morning.
So on 8.8.2009 night, I 'fly' over to Sibu to meet them by using MAS flight, and landed on Sibu about 9.40pm. After a night stay over at Sibu, in the next morning, we had a breakfast together and let them explore Sibu for a while. Then DC of Sibu (Mr.Thomas Tiang) has go lunch with us before we leave Sibu....

This is the picture where we had arrive at Batang Ai, where after we leave Sibu (we didn't directly headed back to Kuching). Preparation to take the boat and go into the village, we have to move all the things from our transport.

At the back of me, there is the place where we get our boat ride, and Mr.Joseph is taking some photos there too...

All of us has prepare to go into the village and start to pack our things from the van, all seem very exited and imagine what we will see along the way...

This is the side of the river, even can't see the river la... it is really a river beside me...

Five of us taking the photo with the background of the river. Me in the front, with Kah Kiet on the left, yen hua on kah kiet's right, Ah Siang is behind me, where Johnny hide himself on back of us all.... hahaha

hahaha... All of us has get ourself on the boat, where is will take us to their village (Long House). The guy with glasses is 'Xiao Yu' (small fish), and the girl with long hair is Lee Ling, they are from Seremban. Two more passengers in the front is Henry and his wife, who was from Johor.

this is where the river infront of the village, it has a very nice view and the water is very clean. we then have a moment of playing in the water before we leave the village.

After a night stay at the long house, we do see how they live and how they manage their life in the village. We also see most of their culture and life style....

The next location after we return to kuching is Giam Waterfall, this is the picture where Ah Siang is very happy with his watermelon putting under his shirt, where he looks like the 'pregnant guy' i don't know why he so happy about it...hahaha

In the next day, we went to Tasik Biru at Bau before we depart to Wind Cave and Fairy Cave near by. It was the gold mine before, where peoples looks for the golds, after the golds was finish digged, the place has become a lake where all the water flow into it.

This is the entrance of the wind cave...

This is the view that you can see when you're in the Fairy Cave. We then go to Fairy Cave after Wind Cave, but that is after our lunch at Bau town. It was really a nice place to go if you want a good photo shoot...

This is the photo where we take at the entrance of Fairy Cave... There is Ah Kiong with red T-shirt, Yen Hua at my right and Kah Kiet at my left, while Khai Ti infront of me...

There was another cave entrance when we walk for so long in the cave, finally we found a way out beside the main entrance.. but it was only a place for us to visit of take photos, in the end still have to go back to the same entrance to meet the others or get out from the cave...

This is what we when we manage to go to the other side of the cave... But that can not make us out of the cave.. still have to walk back where we come from... it was really tiring~

Jen Yong beside me, while Khai Ti climb more higher than us for the photo..

For the west Malaysia scouts, they head back on 12.8.2009 night, while for the Hong Kong scouts, they go back on 13.8.2009 morning. We manage to bring them for a breakfast before they leave. I think they really enjoy the foods and the trip for the pass one week... In the same time, we also have a good time together and serve them what we can... Really hope that they would come again, because we will always get prepare to bring them around~

Pinoeering (28.7.2009 - 2.8.2009)

Working under the sun... Everyone seem to be hardworking

We started to the small little model two weeks before the day we went for our true pinoeering project. Me, Khai Ti and Ah Kiong where in the same group, and we work out the project in three. And another group is Kah Kiet, Yen Hua and Ah Siang. There are in a same group with another model of project. So thats mean there are two groups in the exam of the new rover training scheme. Almost every afternoon or morning, both of them come to my house and do the small model.

We first go to our Scout HQ to get some bamboo to make the model. After we cut down the bamboo, we slices it into small sticks. So it will make us more easy in making the model. On 28.7.2009, we went to 58th mile, a place after Serian, but before Balai Ringin (my grandma house) to do the project. We have apply our camp permit with out DC (Mr.Charles Yeo) and also write a inform letter to our ADC (Mr.Daniel Siong).

The weather was realy hot, and we work under the sun for six days. We return back to Kuching on 2.8.2009. Then all of us is exausted and also get sunburn in the same time. Really make all of us dry for the pass six days... But it was a very experiance project for us, since we have not touch a pinoeering for a long time....
