Some of the picture I took during Chinese New Year around Kuching. The fireworks light up the night sky, and I'm so happy that it didn't rain this year, and the firework can display their full potential in the sky. To all my dear readers, Gong Xi Fa Chai, wishing you good health, and good wealth around the year.

Kuching Folding Bike Trip #01

I bough a beginner entry folding bike, because I plan to go cycling when I am not on my hiking trip. My bike is a 20" bike with 6 speed, shimano gear.20140101_090630_Jalan Kampung Stapokwtmk

My first trip is to the Batu Kawa old town, cycle to the old town, and roam around that area. Sunny day, and not much car on the road.

The Rantau Panjang, a nice ride on the old Batu Kawa town. A long and nice country road into the unknown.

The Penrissen 4th mile area. I only realize that there are a lot of open space in this area. Saw a car parked on the very end of the road there, but when I ride pass there, no one in the car. Wonder where is the driver go...

A shortcut I discover in the Jalan Kong Ping road area, I found a big dead monitor lizard on the road. A serious injured on the head, so I use a stick to carry that dead lizard, and put aside on the road. Hope that no car will trip over it.

Batu Kawa-Singai mini expedition trip with Wilson Chin

This morning I'm going for a mini expedition. Location is on the rural Bau-Singai area. To go there, you will need to take the turn from Batu Kawa to Matang road.
I did map this trip on google earth, but unfortunately google did not update this map, it was since 2008. And from google earth, this area was covered by clouds.

I'm now in a forest garden, where its full of fruits, flowers, and the sound of insect. I can hear the water sound, very close by. So I am going to seek for this river.

What I manage to found is not just river, but two beautiful waterfall too. The water very cold, and fresh. I saw fishes,and shrimps swimming happily in the water. This reminds me of my trip to Lambir Hill National Park at Miri, where I finish my drinking water, and had to drink the stream water, and there are fishes in the water that time, so my guess its that its save to drink.

I also manage to eat durian there, very lucky manage to found one. And the taste extremely tasty. I like the durian from Singai area, they have a bitter taste, mix with sweet milky taste. Its just irresistible...
