I AM THE BORNEO EXPLORER 婆罗洲探险者

Went to the Satok Plaza to pick a friend.

This lately I feel very tired after finish work, feels like not having enough sleep but I didn’t either stay up late or sleep late. But why I still feel tired? Tonight very cold, is raining outside. Hope I can have a good night sleep. Back to my blog... On the way home from The Matang Wildlife Centre, there is Recreation Park with just five minutes car ride from the wildlife centre. Before entering the park, there are stalls that sell kuih, water, and snack. Malay cake from left: Fried Sukun ( My mom told me this is called the Bread fruit in Chinese) , fried potato, fried prawn cake. On top left corner is the fried banana cake. Welcome to The Jubilee Park. Most of the visitors are Malays. There are two Chinese girls bring their pet puppy picnic with them in the park, and they are taking photo of their dogs. They must love their dog very much. Wilson (Me) and Wei Shian There is a river at the back of this park, and this is the main attraction of the park. Most of the parent will let the...

The animal enclosures opening hours in the afternoon is 2:00pm and 3:30pm. Wei Shian and I join the two o’clock session. First stop is the alligator. The ranger told us that he is actually not harmful to human, and it will only attack if threatened. Well that ranger must be thinking that we are all three years old kid. I never heard of alligator that is not harmful to people. This is the Sambar Dear (Inside the yellow circle) , Rusa in Malay. Interesting fact about the dear is that their voice is a high-pitched grunt and they stamp their front feet when suspicious of danger. Next stop an area that is surrounded by net. Two small birds house inside the cage. An eagle is standing on top of a tree branch. A wired bird, with no feathers on it’s neck. This is called the Masked Palm Civet, it eat fruit, leaves, worms, and mollusks. Interesting fact about the Civet is that they usually nocturnal and arboreal, rarely descending to the ground. This is the Malayan Porcupine, it eat roots, tubers...

Welcome to Matang Wildlife Centre Sarawak, it took us for almost one hour motorcycle ride from Kuching town. It is situated at the western corner of the Kubah National Park. The animals here live surrounded by their habitat. We actually plan to go Damai beach, but the weather is too hot and we’ll easily get sun burn. So we had to change place, to go here where there is big trees to shade us, and cold stream water. Big caution sign board “Dear Visitors, Please be inform that any person that enter Matang Wildlife Centre shall enter the centre at his/her own risk. The Sarawak government shall not be responsible for any physical, mental or emotional injury sustains or any loss of life or property whatsoever kind within Matang Wildlife Center, by the Controller of National Park & Nature Reserves.” Chalet RM150 per house, each of the chalets consists of two air-conditioned bedrooms with toilet and bath, a living room, a dining room and a kitchen. This is the trail that leads to the picni...

Bau Trip (First Part) is here Bau Trip (Second Part) is here After visiting the Wind Cave , my last destination will be the Fairy Cave . I’ve been to the Fairy Cave before; and inside the cave view is absolutely fabulous. Time: 3:30pm The Fairy Cave is situated on a more rural area, compare to the Wind Cave on the side of the road there are only green grass and tress. Time: 3:39pm We passes by a corn farm, there’re lots of rocks in the corn farm. I am very curious on why are there only this part has rocks, but then why the people still wanted to chose here to plant, why not choose other place with no rock? Time: 3:41pm While we are riding, warn breeze blowing on our face. Wei Shian start to get a bit worry, cause we had drive for quite a while but still no sign of the cave. I told him to keep on going, and maybe there will be a signboard soon. Time: 3:41pm Just when I finish my sentence, a sign board showed up. It point Gua Fairy à mean Fairy Cave turn left. Luckily we didn’t go to t...
