I AM THE BORNEO EXPLORER 婆罗洲探险者

  Gedong at Simunjan, this bridge belongs to a private sector oil palm plantation company. The river water are muddy, and my friend who worked here before told us that the river use to be very clean, it was around 20 years ago. The oil palm plantation has polluted the place, and also damage the environment. There is no balance in these days, they want to earn more wealth, but in the same time they need to cut down the tress to plant the palm trees. And the one who suffer will be the people who live nearby, and the  flora and fauna at Gedong, Simunjan.    Gedong - benak (Tidal Bore) The river forms a small wave (watched my video at the end of this post). A very unique scene, the water current are flowing from opposite direction, and when they collides they form wave.    Gunung Ampungan, at the Serian-Sri Aman highway, 776 meter above sea level. I've been here before, you can read my previous blog by click here. ...

In today post, I will bring you together with me to an mini expedition. At Kuching, the Batu Kawa - Bau road is the highway that link Sematan/Lundu to the Kuching. Everyday hundred cars passes by, a lot of restaurant/food court are build along the way, and some of them have good business. That morning, we first went to a places call the Kampung Senibong (Senibong Village). Then all along the way is just small roads that link to each other, its like blood vessel and they connect to each others. That morning a lot of morning mist, and I remember seeing the Matang Mount was covered by clouds on the summit. Its like the mount is wearing a hat, very beautiful scene. Then, when we drive pass a lake, we saw the mist is slowly, gently, quietly floating on top of the lake. This is a rare scene, and the first time I've ever encounter such beauty of nature. We stop the car, go down and enjoy this gift from nature. I can hear the birds singing, feel the morning breeze, the war...

The Rayan Village Deer Farm , is hidden at the Singai village, Matang, Kuching. Singai village is named after Mount Singai, the mountain of myths and legends of Togung Kidau, the Flying Warrior, Warrior Princess Mikawel, Togung Kopear, who according to legend could throw objects for miles, and many others. The farm covers an area of approximately 20 acres and is located at about 40 minutes (drive) distance from Kuching city. To reach the farm, drive along the Batu Kawa/Bau road, a SIGNBOARD points to a right turn at the junction opposite Tondong bazaar, then drive in for 3km where the signboards will guide you to the farm. The farm is the first deer farm home stay in Kuching, as the owner build a longhouse style chalet for people to spend a night there. Check out my video below on how is the chalet looks like.  In Sarawak, we really need strong advertisement on our tourism destination. If not because of my friend, myself as a local Kuching people, I will never ...

I joined a new group of friends on my hiking trip in Kuching, today we went to two places. To the matang family park, and hike to the waterfall, then we decided to come to this place. Is called Mount Mike, mount mike is a Christian church on the foot hill, and on top of the mount, there is this India temple called the Maha Mariamman Temple. This is the only place in Kuching where there is an India temple in Kuching. To go to this place, you need to drive to the direction where the red bridge of Matang is. But when you reach a corner after the Malay mosque, try to lookout on your left, there will be a sign board displayed “Mount Mike”, turn left into the Malay Village, and drive straight in.

On the food hill, if you're lucky enough you will discover a few species of pitcher plant.  The journey to reach the top takes around 40 minutes, the mo...
