Camping Trip to Kampung Sting and Visit the Pe'an Waterfall at Bengoh Dam

This is the first time my wife and children follow me to go for a camping trip, and for this trip, I also bought a new 3 person tent from Decathlon, so in future, I can have more camping trip with my family. Let them enjoy nature together. 
Raining season is just around the corner, now almost every evening it rains. So I also prepare raincoat for my kid. 
And as predicted, it rains. My wife and I quickly put on the rain jacket for our boy. But it is good to let him experience. 
After 15 mins of the boat ride, we reach the jetty of Mr Bodui, my friends will be staying at his homestay, while I will do camping.
Its another 15 mins hike up all the way to the homestay, so my first round its to carry my boy and accompany my wife to reach the homestay after that I will come down again to get my tent and the backpack. 

I have no hands to record any video or photos, it rains a bit, and my son is enjoying it. I'm so happy about that. 

Nowadays there are so many other homestays nearby, where they don't allow me to camp at the empty space near their house anymore. So luckily Bodui builds this bamboo platform next to his house, so my friend and I set up our tent and camp there. 


Ervinna is my neighbour, she is using a Naturehike brand single person tent, which I found it very convenient and easy to bring. Mine is a 3 person tent from Decathlon, and the weight it is around 3kg. 


Bodui builds a very nice space in front of his homestay, this allows us to hang out there, and enjoy the view.

It was still dry at our place, but we can see pouring starts from the mountain range on the further end there. 

We had a very nice dinner, traditional Bidayuh cooking. After dinner, we drink tea, coffee, and chit chat with Bodui. 

Sleeping time for my boy is around 8.30pm - 9pm. At first, he is actively moving around in the tent, after all his energy drain, he then slowly fall asleep next to his mum, while holding my hand.

The next morning, I boil water to make some milo for my boy and wife. Also cooked instant noodles for them as breakfast. 

Capture some timelapse photos, this can be seen in my video.  http://youtube.com/wilsonchin


There are cats, dogs and chicken running around the homestay.

The beautiful morning scene and my cute little boy.

My wife is enjoying a good view while having her morning drinks.

Time for some droning

So many waterfalls can be seen on that river.




Next, we visit Pean Waterfall a.k.a curtain waterfall.


Look like my boy is enjoying the hike too.


My boy and I crossing one of the bamboos bridge

Here we are, the curtain waterfall. 


After spending more than an hour at the waterfall, it is then time for us to go back home.
After all the adventure, it also drains all my boy energy, as he immediately falls asleep at the waterfall there, I will need to carry him because it is very muddy, let's go...


He is then awake after the boat starts, and it slowly started to rain again, so we quickly dress him up in his rain jacket again. 

More adventure in future for my family and me.
Thank you for reading

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...

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 ...
