The green hill temple 青山岩

My previous visit to the temple is here

On the fifth day of Chinese New Year, the weather was cloudy. I bring my parent to The Green Hill Temple to pray. It is a temple that situated on top of a mountain; of course there is stairway for people to walk to the temple. My father told me that, during his time there where no road to the temple, they need to use a boat to reach to the temple. Today there are good tarmac road build for people from Kuching town all the way to the temple. And because of Chinese New Year, the place was crowded by people. Just we reach the temple, it starts to rain. All of a sudden, the temple was pack with people. My parent went to pray, while my brother and I went to take a couple of shots.

After my parent finish praying, we went to eat some vegetarian noodles that prepared by the temple. The noodle was nice, but I only manage to get a small portion of the noodle, cause there are too many people. The rain had stop after we finish our noodles, then I helped my mom and dad took a few shots, my dad was holding my mom’s hand…how sweet. I don’t usually see my dad do this in front of his kids, but I can tell the older my folks get, they love each other more. By the time we left the temple, again the rain start to pouring heavily. But there are still people keep on coming, all heading to the temple to pray. Dad was holding mom hand all the way to the car, aw~~I’m glad and happy to see that. 拜的神多,自有神保佑。

This is the place where we burn the “money” to wish for healthy and good luck.

A lot of people (善男信女) praying.

The Bung Jagoi Heritage Centre Hike and the Bung Tesen Peak Viewpoint

With just around 320 meters above sea level, the Bung Jagoi it's one of the most family friendly trail available in Kuching. The trail is super easy to hike, and suitable for children and old people, a good weekend gateway. Not to forget it also has a very nice viewpoint on the summit peak.  And if hiking is not your cup of tea, you can also bring your family to the waterfall, just a few mins hike at the base of the mountain.  There is a big parking space for your car, a few ringgit per car. This is a restaurant, and we paid our entrance fees here. They also offer daily tour package, which includes food.  A friend of mine bring his 70+ years old mother and two young children to hike together, and impressively she made it to the summit.  A waterfall trail just below the mountain. Good for children, as I know my children like to play in the water more than hiking to the summit.  Very clear water from the mountain.  view along the way to the summit A souvenir...

Camping at Pugu Beach Lundu Kuching

Pugu Beach situated at Lundu, after Pandan beach. Drive all the way up you will see road sign showing where is the beach location. Its a long stretch of beach, which lead all the way to the river mount of Sungai Sebako Besar. My friends and I decided to visit the place, and stay at the resort hut which we paid RM50 per night. Pugu Beach is about 7.11km long from bukit Gondol. The day I visited, was a hazy day. Partly due to the heavy burning on our neighboring country Kalimantan. A panoramic view of the Pugu Beach, the view are very nice if you are at the top of the bukit Gondol. A small hill on the other end of the beach. Enjoying the time hanging out with my buddies. Long time did not meet up with them, and camping together with them. Hope in future, we can have time to go for adventure together, just like old time. This is a simple resort hut, they also have a toilet and washroom. But they don't sell food, so we have to bring our own food and water....

Mount Hosanna Chapel with Wilson Chin, Borneo Sarawak

This is the Mount Hosanna Chapel, while on my way back from Sri Aman, I drop by this place, and it is located about 157 KM from Kuching city (near Seri Aman), Malaysian Borneo. You can see this chapel just beside the Kuching - Sri Aman highway. What interesting about this place first is the design of the chapel, and second will be the story behind it, and it goes like where God spoke to the philanthropist who funded the church construction and healed his wife which is diagnose with critical illness. When I meet one of the chapel members there, and asked about this, he deny this. And told me that this is not true, and it was the priest himself who raise the fund to build this chapel. So I walk up to the chapel, and visit the place. Saw a priest is currently blessing the members. The building looks like three big candles,  it means Trinity. In Christian doctrine, the Trinity is the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead ...
