One day trip @ Miri

Petrosains – Dino Trek comes to Miri, Sarawak

During my stay at Miri, I went to the Miri Petroleum Museum. Just inside the museum, there is an exhibition going on, and is called the DinoTreck. Admission for adults is RM5. Inside the exhibition, I’m a little bit disappointed. My friend told me that there is actually a real dinosaur skull, when I go….there is just Animatronics Dinosaurs left., and a bunch of Dino Game for kids.

For the Petroleum Museum, Miri is a division which rich with petrol. Inside the museum it clearly display and explain how the petrol is drill from the earth, and how to process it, and the type of drill that use to get the petrol.

Miri Fan Garden
I’ve been to Miri for so many time, but this is the first time I’ve step into the Fan Garden. This park is located at the heart of Miri town, and the shape of the park looks just like a fan, so I guess that’s why she earn the name Miri City Fan. What make this garden so unique is it has a combination of several garden together. And below is a series of photos I’ve shoot. My dear readers, enjoy the photos :)

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...

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.

In Christian doctrine, the Trinity is the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead ...
