and that's ms ng, climbing up a rope! she's so strong, like wonderwoman! :D



After kayaking, we went to Semengoh Orang Utan Centre. those orang utans there are big! :D and a pity that it rained heavily after that, can't really observe their feeding time.











Day 3, 1 December



We checked out of the hotel went to Bako National Park. stayed over there for one night. Boat ride was cool! the feeling of the wind beating across your face is super nice. (:




My boat mates! (: they're all from cultural exchange and i'm the only one from publicity. kind of extra hahaha.

Day 5, 3 December

Checked out of the hotel yet again, and our trip is to the longhouse! staying over there for 2 nights. Mr Tan bought 10 durians for us! how nice! (: We travelled to the longhouse with long boats and the journey was looooong, 2.5 hours!













arrival at the guest lodge



At night, we went over to the longhouse to play games with the iban kids over there. they were adorable! :D we had movie screening after that and the kids enjoyed it! (:






they only had electricity from 6.30pm to 10pm. but they purposely extended the time to 11pm just for us. (: and i had to bathe at 12am, in the pitch darkness, raining heavily, super cold, bugs flying everywhere. -.-





Day 6, 4 December


We had trekking in the morning! and we were divided into 4 groups. we headed to the waterfall after that. freaking fun! and the water is freezing cold! -.- and i'm so dumb, i hit a rock which is underwater and now i've got a big blue-black on my thigh. till now still not gone yet. -.-






We had BBQ lunch after that. and gosh, it was the best lunch i've ever eaten. :DDDD







We had cultural exchange at night in the longhouse again. we drank rice wine. it taste kind of bitter. they performed their iban dance and it was fabulous! we performed our college dance. and it was freaking fun dancing with ironman - Janice! :D and i've got a problem of turning. -.-both of us were too high. (: after that they performed their iban line dance. the dance seems easy but not easy. -.- and we had movie screening again! :D








Day 7, 5 December

We left the longhouse to head back to Kuching. awww, i miss the kids. ):


and we went to a pepper farm on our way back


sleep sleep zzzzzzz


We had Eco-tourism seminar in the evening. me and nic were rushing the video for the past 6 days. omg, last minute work was crazy. -.- but, we managed to complete it. although some photos were repeated and not orientated.








yeah and after the seminar, we had some cakes party. apparently there's some marble cakes craze going on that time. the guys went out of the hotel to buy it and they so nice to give some boxes to us. (:
Janice, my dance partner! (ironman)




Day 8, 6 December


We packed up and headed for lunch. We went shopping at two wet markets and finally the shopping mall. it's called the Springs.









After shopping, we headed to the Kuching airport. flight at 9pm.








I miss the trip to Sarawak! ): looking at the photos really bring back memories. it's really great to be in publicity. :D reflections every night really helps to reflect upon ourselves. seriously, i don't regret going to Sarawak.


and i agree to what Ms Au and pakcik pork said, what most important are the friends and teachers that you've encountered, not the distance, destination or time period.


thanks so much to Ms Au for everything that you've done. i'm glad that i've managed to tell you all those stuff before i do not had a chance anymore. it was really embarrassing tearing infront of the publicity team.


okay i've spent like almost 3.5 hours blogging. bye world. :D and i'm fine alr (:
