Adventure Sarawak Trip

I was looking back at the picture and it did refresh my memories during those day at Sarawak. Anyway I kind of lazy to written in word so I put it inPhoto Story Mode:

Day 1
I was excited so excited that I could not sleep. So I drain out my energy by doing morning run. When I say morning, I am talking about 1am run. Lol... So I ran about 2 km. Went home bath and sleep. I woke up about 0530 and reach Changi Airport by 0600 and went to Macdonald. I paid by cab fare about $22.25. The fare was a nice number that why I could remember. Haha... This what happen in the Day 1:
Before we took off we took a group photo.
The flight took about 1hour and 15 and if I am not mistaken it is 700km away from Singapore. That is like going from Singapore to Peneng.
The plane arrive at Kuching Airport.
There is this instructor, Malcolm who telling us the story about this lake where last time used to be gold mine. So they dig and dig but I forgot what happen that this lake happen to be contaminated lake.
We have reached El Camp and we were waiting to do the raft
Another group were doing a raft while...
While my group do the rope course.
We played at the river to cool ourself.
Night circle by each group present the topic we have learned. Our group did about history and I just love Malcolm talk. I still can remember:
When you at someone cultural and wanna learn this are the thing you should look out for:

Mental Cultural
Behavior Cultural
And Material Cultural

The day have gone and me, KO

Day 2 - There is a course on using the compass, the raft of the farmer riddle and starting a fire. It was a day full of activity and can be tiring too. But it was fun. By nightfall there is BBQ and game. Morning there is a brief and they called it the Morning Circle.
This is what we have brief in the morning circle:

Out of Comfort Zone:
Insect bite to the environment.
Together as a team - So you have to be patient with your teammate.
Be punctual.

Appreciation of the source you got. Such as trekking to the water source.
Leave no trail and bring memories only. AKA
What you bring up, you bring it down.
Leave footprint, take memories...

But end of the day, first priority is too have fun.

My comment is:
Be curious and have fun. That is how it increase when come to absorbing knowledge from other....


Maggie Goreng for Breakfast at the Canteen

Tree have been cut down. One of the sight of deforest. This tree is cut down to check the quality of the wood. Usually the age of the tree determine the ring of the inner log. I have counted and estimate at least 50 years old.

Who don't love hiking? Everybody does...

Fit just love it...

Day 5 - The trip is almost end and this is the final trekking for today. Trek by day shopping by night. The last hill was a no joke. Is about 1.6km full of steep slope. Incline by 30 degree and some can by as steep as 50 degree. Sometime there is vertical climb. But if you enjoy the nature you dont mind going through this pain...

Final Word:

I did not expect the trip to have so much fun also I am happy of the homestay event. I just simply love homestay. But I realize there is a difference of the cultural in the Eastern and Western side of Malaysia. It seem here life are simpler but more to nature too. Also is interesting on why their geographically was separate by Indonesia and Brunei. I remember there is one night by Malcolm talk and I will never forget about it. Which is the cultural stuff? I find it very useful and it just simply in my right brain (where all the long term is kept). Mental cultural, Behaviour Cultural and Material Culltural. I enjoy his story and the history lesson he gave us. Another thing on what surprise me in this trip is the reflection at the top of the hill. That is something unique. Is like a self-ask reflection. But I hope everyone hit their objective as for me I have hit mine that knows how the senior react would when the junior have the least prior knowledge in their adventure background.

It seems the trip was great. But also there seem to be interesting mixture of people which have different background and prior experience or knowledge on adventure. Some of them are new comer and some are not. But depend on individual, regardless of what their background are, different people have different challenges they gonna face. Some may think it impossible to hike another 2 click with 50 degree incline but after going through it, their thoughts will change and so be it, their mentality. As a result, naturally their psychology thinking will hunger more challenge as, "Hey, If I Can go this, I know I can go more or do more..." During my rock wall climb, I not satisfy the second rock wall as I know I can do it but just that my body control over mind by saying you can't do it where as it can be done. Anyway in this trip, it thought me one thing is always challenge yourself to the whole new level. Also another thing I observe is regardless of how many times you go for an adventure, each adventure there is something new. There is something gonna pull you out of comfort zone (it can be physically or mentality such as abseiling down a high cliff where most don’t have abseiling experience.) But end of the day, enjoy yourself. Don’t be neither competitive nor afraid to do. Cause you never know when you going to do it again.
