I AM THE BORNEO EXPLORER 婆罗洲探险者

#Borneo Explorer's record. The Permai rainforest resort, 45min car drive from the Kuching city, situated next to Damai Resort, and that place has a very nice natural swimming pool, the fresh water flows from the mountain into the pool, and also a simple 1 hour hiking trail surrounding the Permai resort. There is a #waterfall on that trail! Very beautiful place for hiking and get close to nature. A photo posted by Wilson Chin (@wilsonchininsta) on Feb 1, 2015 at 4:39am PST

The durian season starts now in Sarawak! I follow my cousin to the place where they supply the durian called the Pasir Pandak. This is my second visit to this place, the owner have a very big land, and planted a lot of durian trees. Read my first visit here, and it was 5 years ago  (click to read) We need to use a basket, and carry the basket all the way to the hill top. Cause there are a few types of durian, and the good one are at the top. Along the way up hill, there are durians all over the place. So I just pick it up, and dunk into the basket behind me. Yet to reach to the top, my basket are full of durians already. Its very heavy, as both of my shoulder are painful because of the straps. We manage to get a few hundred durian back to the hut, and bring is back home. That day I had durian for lunch and dinner O_o"

I went to visit the Japanese grave at Batu Lintang, Kuching. This is the place when the Japanese surrender, after the Americans drop two atomic bombs at Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Notice bellow the monument, there is a plate with both Japanese and English writing on it. And this is what it wrote on the plate. The origin of the monument, During the second world war when every able bodied man has enlisted in the Japanese war efforts a group of young boys fireherman aged 15 - 16 volunteered their service to help the country by ferrying food supply to Japanese trools of the Southern fronts. These courageous boys were from the fishing port of Yaizu which was famous in Japan for its plentiful supply for bonito and tuna fishes. In their tiny 50 tonnes worn out fishing boats the boys began ferrying food supply to the southern battlefronts. Torward the end of the war, then massive counter attacks by the Americans and the British had cause heavy defeats of the Japanese army, the young Y...

I went to visit my friends from Vietnam, they are staying in the Riverbank Suits. And it gave me chances to be able to visit that building, I went to the 16th floor where the swimming pool is, and am able to take a panoramic picture of the Kuching City, and Sarawak River.

Look at the moon picture that I took by using my Samsung Galaxy S4. of course with a little help from this baby ; ) I place my photo camera lens on the viewfinder of the telescope, and walah!!! a nice picture of the moon, with clear moon surface.

I'll be on travel next month back to visit my parents. Haven't been home for 3 years, and I miss them so much. I'll be going to Brunei as well, so I need to renew my passport. For a Malaysian passport the stuff that I need are: 1. Two Passport size portrait pictures 2. One photocopy of my Malaysia Identification Card. 3. RM100 bucks for a 48 pages two year passport. 4. Waiting time is 2 hours for me to get my passport once I made the payment. With a Malaysia passport I can travel to almost any country expect Israel. I went to the Malaysia Immigration department, Sarawak Branch office. Morning around 8am. They build a new parking space for public.... this place exist before, just now they have enhance it with tarmac. I didn't know I need a photocopy of my Identification Card (should do my research before this), so I went to the photocopy shop down the office and paid a bloody expensive 20cents for just one copy of my IC. Come back to the office again to sub...

The Location for this Phython is at Jalan Stampin Baru, Lorong 22 B. I read the news once saying that a guys at Kuching owns a pet python at home, and the snake stay together with them since it is still a baby snake. Now it has grown for more than 20 feet, this is really a huge snake. I follow a bunch of friends to visit the python last Sunday, and also pet on the snake, it feel cold. What am I saying, it is cold blooded anyway. The owner feeds it with chicken, and he also raise a bat , and an iguana . What a wired hobby he has... Cheers, Wilson I've touch a snake for the 3rd time 2nd Time I've touch a snake is here at the Lok Kawi Park The first time is at the Penang Snake Temple

This is Day#2 on my Sabah trip, and today we will be going to Kinabalu Park which is about 90KM from Kota Kinabalu town. And tonight we are going to have steamboat as dinner. This is how the fish market looks like Wake up at 6am, and reach the fish market before 7am. I seldom go to the fish market, don't like it there. Kerry is a big fan of seafood, so he's excited when we're there. He bought a lot of fish, clams, crab, squids, and prawns. Is a busy market, and one thing that surprise me is that a lot of small kids are working here as well. Pity when seeing kids working at the fish market here, they should be in school studying not here working. I can't stand the fish smell, so I opt to wait outside the fish market, while my parent continue seafood shopping. Basket of fish keep on loading into the market, it looks very scary on the amount of fishes they have here. And this is just a small part of it, as there is more still in the fishing boat. ...

This is the stray dog stay near my neighborhood. She has fluffy fur, a fat body, a cute face, and a tame character. She has this milky white fur, so I name her "niu nai" in Chinese, and translate to English it means Milk. Is quite pity sometime see her rounding on the neighborhood. She looks so cute and adorable. She likes to be pat on the head. Everytime when I'm back from work, she just lye in front of my gate resting. And when I call her name, she will come and bow down her head to let me pat. Lols what a cute little doggy. I tried to keep her inside my garage few time, she just keep on barking and wanted to go out. So maybe she's already get use to the freedom, and don't want to have serious commitment. I then just let her go....

I’ve been to this place few years back, and the construction was not yet complete. And today I get to follow my buddy from the Buddhist temple to revisit the place. That day it rain the whole day, if not I would be able to take more outdoor photos. From Kuching city to Asajaya it took us around an hour of car ride, beliong is a place name. And to get there we need to cross a river, the temple is situated opposite the river. Though the place was build very remotely, but there are still many people came for praying. While taking photos, I meet a little boy, a little girl and a dog. Running around with the dog, and playing in the rain. Being kids are good, no worries, no burden, just relax and enjoy everyday life. Here I made a little clips with the photos and video that I’ve shoot that day :D Is gonna be a busy weekend, so I have to go to bed first. Good night. =================================== Wilson Chin's Bunleong Visitation at 2008

I went to shoot some photos of the demolished Gambier Street. I did some reading from the net, the government (Kuching City North Datuk Bandar Abang Mohamad Atei Medaan) wanted to demolish this place cause they said that the place are decades old structures and is not safe to operated business and they put “safety first”, they concern about the safety of the people who operate business there. Read News Here They are going to make this place an esplanade which would stretch from Kuching Hilton to Ban Hock Wharf as well as across the river to ensure both riverbanks would be developed beautifully and making them a popular recreational spot for city dwellers and visitors. When the government wanted to do something there’s always voice from the public, a signature campaign to save the heritage buildings of Gambier St. was form to group the power from the public and let the current ruling elites be aware of what they are doing was wrong. Read News Here , and here . Records in some publicati...

Went to Serian with mom, she wanna go to the Serian Market Square (aunties shopping heaven). OMG~I just notice beside the roundabout when reaching Serian, there is also another Big Durian statue at the market square here. This is what mom bought. I'm not a big fan of durian, but I do crave for it sometimes. For thous who like durian, Bon Appetit my dear readers :P

My brother showed my some photos and short clips on his mobile. It was a crocodile, a huge one. It was caught near the Limbang River behind the old Chinese Temple. We can be aware that the river is not a safe place anymore. Sometime there are children bath and play there, is a very danger place to be. I don’t know how they capture the croc, so does my brother. But when viewing the process I felt that the croc was quite pity. His front and back legs was tied behind his back. And when they lift the croc, they just carried his tied legs. Its gonna be hurt.

The Stutong Indah Park is the best place to jog, surround with trees which give fresh air to all of the jogger here. Here’s some photos that I took, in the park there’re two tracks. The longer one are 1600KM, while the second one are 1000KM. I usually run the 1600KM for 2 rounds, then stop for rest, and run another round again. It feels refresh each time after my jog. The air are fresh all the time, the park opens at 7am. And the entrance fees is 50cents per-entrance, very cheap.

I always wanted to visit Doulos the bookship, and everytime when she's here I've always missed. But not this time, I finally get to meet her face to face. I roam at the ship deck, and took a lot of photos The Moulos, bringing knowledge, help and hope. I like that slogan very much ha! they have this cute painting of Noah's Ark on the ship, is so cute. The painting cover all the story of Noah from being till the end. Bye bye Doulos, see you next time.
