The Day I went Back to Kuching

Good time goes by fast. I enjoy every minutes spend at home, today my flight back to Kuching is 6.15pm, which mean I have to be at the airport 45 minutes earlier.


It looks like Rocky want to follow me and Kerry :P that stupid dog~ shu Rocky ! You can’t follow us.


This is the first time my younger brother Kerry and I drive form Limbang to Miri, we depart at 11am. Reach the immigration border at 12pm.


For Brunei, we need to had our passport stamps for two times.


There’s a short-cut where can save you 1 hour 45 minutes of car drive. But we just can’t seems to remember which turns is first, is it left? Or right?
Hope Kerry’s GPS will lead us correctly, ok MapKing do your magic.


Kerry: “Shit, bro I forgot to charge my PDA last night, and is almost ran out of batt.”
Wilson: “… o_O so what else is new?!”


No wonder the weather is hot, they burning the trees.


We overtake a lot of vehicles along our way, is fun. If I’m driving a better car like Ferrari or SLK, I think I can break the 4 hours record from Limbang to Miri.


Paying the toll, we’re almost there…


Yap, we’re at Miri now. What! Miri is burning the trees as well. Don’t you guys love tress, they are the lungs of the planet.


My brother has to drive his gf, so he drops me at the airport like two hours earlier. What a brother :(


M ticket back to Kuching, oh. How I wish I can stay longer at home.


Yap, this is it. I’m boarding the plane.


The view is breathtaking, if only I had a better camera.


The Kuching International Airport, I arrive just in time.


Back to normal life again…

Around Limbang Town

Some photos I shoot during my holiday back to hometown. It change a lot since my last visit, this cute little small town is developing.


My primary school, The S.R.B Chung Hua School. The building which currently constructing is belong to primary five and six, now they’re expanding due to the shortage of classroom.


The famous Limbang Rojak, I don’t know what so special about it, but some people just crave for it. It even distribute the rojak sauce as far as Brunei.


This market is just opposite my primary school. I still remember each morning, mom will gave me and my brother 50 cents each and we’ll come here to buy some kuih for brunch.


My brother Jason motorbike shop :P


The Limbang River, this part is somewhere near to the Muzium Limbang. The water pollution had gone from bad to worse :( that’s why I don’t really like eat fish which is from the Limbang wet market. Who knows what they had eaten.


The only Limbang Plaza, now the management of Plaza had renovated the place, expand and a lot of new shop lots are in. this is a good sign, which shows the economic at Limbang is growing. There’s also a lot of development, like new resident housing project, new school were also build for compromising the crowded kids.


An old shoplots, Maybank was very crowded. There’s also an old supermarket in the same lot, is called the Chun Chang Supermarket. Now they had also established their second branches at a new town area.


This hotel has a small conference room, most of the Bruneian will stay here. Limbang is just next to Brunei, so they will came to Limbang shopping (RM2.5 = $1 Brunei Dollar). Cause they can buy cheap stuff here. But now I heard that the Brunei government had enforced new rules and regulation, is not to allow Brunei people buy too much stuff from other country (like Limbang) to prevent their currency from slipping out from Brunei.


This is a very old tree which is just next to the Jetty of Immigration Limbang, this is the only big tree which is at the town of Limbang. We usually will see this type of spooky trees at the graveyard, hm~wired.


My favorite photography subject “Sunset”.


One of the Buddhist center at Limbang, I went for chanting with my brother on that weekend.


Grandpa, you better watch out, wait till his mom come back. You’ll be sorry…

Limbang Food

Is nice to be at home, every afternoon mom will cook for us. Then every evening, after my brother and I came back from his shop, mom already prepare dinner. During stay at home, I don’t have to worry about food at all. I love my home :)
Now let’s see what I had during my stay at home…


Mom’s homemade pancake. Is fried with long beans, small shrimps, eggs, and powder. I love this very much.


Soya sauce, bean curd.


Is alive!!! (the prawns)


Sweet and sour prawns YUMMY!!! Two thumbs up for this


Deer meat, is a bit raw~ ouch! My tooth


Mom’s fried chicken wings. That’s my favorite of all time.


Boil eggs, and a big chicken drum stick.

Limbang Croc Hunter

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.

Visitation to Tropical Farm – Part Three of Three

On day 3, we did some sharing. Follow by election of new committees for the society. The camp ends at noon, at first day, I not use to the environment. No electric supply, limited water supply. Slowly I adapt the environment, especially during night time, when there’s no electric supply. I can see the stars clearly, the moonlight shining; I can see my own shadow during night time. Bugs singing, night breeze, this is a scene that I will never get when I’m in the city. I like it very much.


The third day of our camp, and is time to go back to the city. The sheep had given us some souvenir (shit) when they came steal our lunch.

Here’s some panoramic photos that I took during my stay at the garden.

Visitation to Tropical Farm – Part Two of Three

The Chinese name of this farm is called 日月星园, translate to Chinese is called the “Garden of the Sun, Moon, and Stars” so I asked why?

“Because is Nature my friend.” This is what the land owner told me. “The Sun, Moon, and stars all are nature! We have to appreciate what Mother Nature had provided us; she gave us water, sunlight, and air. There’s a mysterious power in nature which keep on alive, and we have to cherish that gift.”

Ya, that’s true. Sometime we just so take things for granted :S

Okey, let’s get back to the second day of my camp. I woke at 6.24am, had a morning jog with the campers. The air was damn fresh here, the morning mist were cold. The grass, trees, birds, sun, win, bugs, air, are all wakening up to start their day. In the nature all of this was very obvious, I like the fog, when I inhale, the sweetness, freshness of the air all goes into my lungs. It feels really good :)


100% no pollution, is hard to imagine is the world back to Stone Age. No pollution, no computers, no competitive. Will it be a better place? According to research, the dinosaurs had rule the planer very long time, but after the planet was rule by human being (for only 1/10 of the dinosaurs’ time), now in the technology age, the pollution was very serious. Some time I’ve been thinking the Intelligent of human being, is it a gift or a curse?


After my morning jog, we had our breakfast. Then there’s a counseling course, I like this course. It teaches us on how to care, and love. And reach for our inner self.


Well, since is about nature. The crew had decided to use leaf as plate, and our hands as spoon. Saving the planet and recycle~~ baby!!!


It looks like going to rain soon, and we had our leadership training during the evening. Just 10 minutes before the training ends, the rain pour heavily. Great, tonight I can have free air conditioner :P

The rain stop after an hours, the land owner came and bring us to walk around his farm while explaining to us the trees, plants, fish available in the farm.


He even has his own archery arena. That’s cool, I guess his children must be very good at hunting.


The Sunset at around 6:22pm.


I had a very full dinner that night, after the dinner the programs starts again. And I’m the emcee for the programs.

Visitation to Tropical Farm – Part One of Three

This is a private farm and is not open to the public. According the land owner, when he was 15 years old, he had a dream. He wanted to own a place by himself, and would build a farm base on nature concept. Years has passed, he now is a very successful businessman. And of course, he has use 10 years of time to fulfill his childhood dream.

He now owns a 65 acre of private land, and in the land he has a thousand plus of Durian trees, and 42 types of local fruits. He owns 9 manmade lakes, which raise different kinds of fish, a longhouse resort with 27 rooms, 25 obstacle course, 4KM of jogging track, some Spanish goats, African goats, some ducks, and chickens.

He give each and every one of the fauna and flora a name tag, this is to keep track of their record. He uses rains as water supplies, and generator as electricity supply. And very knowledgeable in feng shui, and Shun Zhi, Lao Zhi, Kong Zhi teaching as well we the others. He likes China history very much.

For me, is very difficult to believe that a boy who quit school at the age of 14 can accomplish all of this wealth, and to gain all of this knowledge from zero to now.

Now let’s come back to the farm, I’m one of the committee members for this 3 days 2 night camp. My job is to keep everyone entertains, and be the emcee for the game they played.


It was a hot day, when I first arrive here I’m a bit regret cause there’s no electric supply. Not until 6:30pm, and it shutdown at 11:00pm, so everything goes dark.


While waiting for the campers to come, I showed my friends a little bit of magic tricks. Yeah! I love Magic.


As mention earlier, there’s a longhouse type of resort. Which consists of 27 rooms, and my room number was 105, I’m sharing with others two friends.


Aw~~~look, this is the first time in my life to saw a sheep. Hahaha!!! Is cute and adorable, especially the white one.


I shoot this photo by using a binocular, but the quality sucks.


Some of the campers had arrive, they’re registering themselves to check in the room assign.


FOOD! The kitchen people are discussing what to cook for tonight dinner.


Before dusk, we all went for a jog. And to explorer the place, I like the obstacle part. I seldom had the changes to try out obstacle course in the city, now is the time to do so.


It also has two suspension bridges, one safe, and one danger. What I mean by danger is that it only had a wire steel rope as the bridge, and two more steep ropes as the handle to keep your body balance. If you miss a step, then is down into the water.


The land owner likes tortoise very much, he said the shell of the tortoise was use by ancient Chinese to calculate lunar calendar, some ying yang stuff, feng shui, and represent long life.


Is my favorite time of the day again, I love sunset. It always clam me down each time I saw it, it would be better if my girlfriend is here.


Ducks swimming in the lake, their speed are fast. I saw them swim from one side to another with just a few seconds. Amazing O_O


I’m damn hungry that night…


Before you enter this door, you’re steps are fast and anxious. After you leave this door, you’re steps are slow and relax. – Tropical Farm
