I AM THE BORNEO EXPLORER 婆罗洲探险者

White sand, big wave, coconut drink, gentle breeze, and hot chicks. They got it all here at Sematan Palm Beach Resort, I went there for a two day one night trip with my friends. We rented a room for 6 people for RM390, this include 6 packs of dinner and breakfast. One of our friends is kind enough to drive us all the way from Kuching to Sematan; it took us one and a half hour to reach Sematan. Our check in time is 2pm, just when we settle down I head to the beach first. Wow, the sun is burning me. I can’t wait to jump into the sea, but I don’t want to get Sunburn to I wait. The rest of my gang are all in the room preparing lunch, we had bring along a lot of food, for dinner we have BBQ vegetarian style (most of them are vegetarians) we BBQ corn, potato, vegetarian sausage, and vegetarian chicken. This is the fist time I have a vegetarian BBQ, not bad, and we also have steamboat for dinner. Just when the clock reaches 4pm, we all head to the beach. This place is crowded with people, is ...

When I open my eyes, the sun is shining into my room. I look at the clock, OMG!!! It’s almost 8am. Last night I promise my friends that I’ll meet up with them 7am sharp to have breakfast together then go Matang, Kubah National Park to conquer the Matang mount together. I’m one hour late, I hurry get ready and drive to my friend place, just what I expected, I’m not the only one who is late, there a few of them late as well. Is a beautiful Sunday morning, everyone wants to wake up late. After having our dinner, off we go to Kubah National Park. This park is just located next to Matang Family Park phase 2. We have more than 10 people so our entrance fees would be RM20 for a group of 5 people. This time I’m in a tip top condition unlike when I conquer Santubong Mount. The path to the top of the mount is well cover with tar, cause there is a transmitter tower on top of the mount. It might look easy to go up, but with some part as stiff as 45 degree, it requires much stamina to go up. Ther...

Mini Series of Mount Santubong Mount Santubong Post 1 of 3 Mount Santubong Post 2 of 3 Mount Santubong Post 3 of 3 Going downs about 45 minutes. Going down the mountain is must more easy than going up, there is three starting point to go up Santubong. We choose the second point to go up, and had chosen the third point to go down. For the third one, we after we reach down Santubong, we need to walk another 20 minutes to reach Green Café where we park our car. Peter and Boon race their way to the car when they reach the bottom of the mount. For me I don’t have any energy, I just sit at the road side, and wait for them to come and drive me home. This is some of the photos I shoot during my way up Santubong, sorry no photo from the mountain peak. But I promises that for my next Santubong trip, I will post lots of photos from the summit. > This is my gang… L-R: Austin (Green Cap), Chua, Boon, Wilson Chin (Me), Peter.

When I was climbing up the mount, We stop for some water. Austin had brought a pack of snack, and a pack of melt chocolate (the chocolate is 4 months old, almost expire), which make us laugh hardly. Peter did ask me what to bring, I told him bring nothing but water. He has a pack of cigarette, and water. Now we have reached the first mountain trek station which is at 760 meter. Boon told us his previous experience in climbing SantuBoon… Boon: Previously I had brought a group of 20 girls to climb this mountain, and we all had successfully gone up until the summit then down again. But the whole trip had took us 8 hours plus. Peter: This shows that girls have a stronger mentality than guy. Wilson: This I totally agree, I watch Survivor the girls always win ...
