今天的目的是祖兰瀑布的顶端，我们必需要走九小时的路程。而且都是往上走，不是平地。
我和队友开始路程前的合影。左到右：吉尔伯特，梁荣，我，龙。我们是古晋探险队！
This is the starting point, its about 9 hours hike to our base camp on top of the plateau. 

这是起点，九小时到高原顶端的路程正式开始。
A lot of these shy grass (Minosa Pudica), and the problem is I'm wearing short pants. I have the scratch marks all over my legs 😱

这里有许多的含羞草，我穿短裤，短袜子，我的脚完蛋。伤痕累累。
This is an abandon logging trail, before this there are several illegal logging happened here, and the respective authorities had am ambush here to stop the illegal logging. After they are bring caught, all it left was this abandon trail. 

这是一条非法伐木的道路，之前有很多非法伐木的活动。庆幸的是这些人被执法单位抓掉了，就是留下这条布满杂草道路。
Its very muddy along the way, and all of us are wearing this rubber shoes, which we called it Kampung Addidas. 

一路都是烂泥，很难走。这就是我们穿的树胶鞋，非常适合这。
There are so many leeched along the way, even in this stream. All of us had a few leeches went into our shoes. And the worse thing is I'm wearing short pant 😩

这里到处都是水蛭，我们的脚，手，身体暴露的地方都有水蛭。我的鞋里面也是有一些，糟糕我还是穿短裤。我的脚完蛋。。。（想哭）
Our pack lunch, deep fried pork, and egg. We are suppose to get one egg, but I worry I don't like the pork, so I get another egg to eat for energy.

这是我的午餐，油炸猪肉，还有鸡蛋。我怕吃不饱，随手有拿了多一粒鸡蛋吃。希望够力气继续走下去。猪肉好硬。。。
We clean our shoes in this stream, and we are reach to go again.

在溪水旁洗刷清洁后，继续上路。
After the shy grass, this is another plantation with thorn. This area are full of plantation with thorns, spines, and prickles. The trail are steep, and with just one wrong grip on the spike plantation, your hand will not look good. 

荆棘植物一大堆，山路又斜又南走，有时失去平衡随手一捉。。。糟糕满手都是刺 😣
Ascending...
上，上
Ascending...
继续上山。。。
Ascending...
继续上山。。。越来越斜
Some part are almost vertical, and we have to use ropes to slowly climb up. 

有些部分太斜了，要用绳子才能够上山。
When you reach mossy forest, you know you are at a high altitude now. 

当你来到苔藓森林，你就是在高海拔了。
Cross a lots of stream along the way, and with every steps I made, most of the time I will have leeches in my shoes. 

走过许多小溪，小溪里一点有水蛭。每次走过，鞋里都会有。
So it didn't help much if apply anti leech spray, because it will be wash away. 

所以就算有擦防水蛭药也没有，都被水洗掉了。凸(艹皿艹 )
Let me check on my legs again see if i ....
呃，感觉怪怪的，让我看看我的脚。。。
sigh...just as I tough. These are two on one toe. Here, not just leeches, there are also a lot of blood sucking flying insect. I got bitten a few on my arms and legs.  

凸(艹皿艹 ) 两条同时吸一样的地方，这里也有很多吸血的蚊虫，有大只的也有小只的。我被叮了几次。
After 9 hours of hike, we finally made it to the very top of Julan Waterfall. And we quickly setup our hammock. The weather doesn't look good that time, it will rain anytime. 

经过九小时的路程，终于到达祖兰瀑布顶端。赶快把我的吊床弄好，气候不是很好，快下雨。
Heavy downpour at around 7pm when we are in the middle of our dinner, so we have to quickly move everything into a temporary made tent, with a dim light and plenty of flying insects flying around the light.

晚上七点多，晚餐到一半，下起大雨来。我们赶快躲进一个临时的帐篷内，有很多飞虫环绕着灯，很难吃饭，食物里都是飞虫。

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 ...
