Trip to Ulu Baram

Ulu Baram Monkey! Why I choose this picture as the 1st Pic??? Cause I love this pic among all the picture taken, It remind me of Monkey Island. This one might be one of those KUNGFU MONKEY...

Ulu Baram is a remote area of Sarawak. The closest city to Ulu Baram is Miri but still need to travel a long distance aprroxiamtely 13 hours journey to reach there.

By boat.

On your foot.

and by car.

Sometimes you will face some Roadblock along the way(In this case, punctured tyre :))

In order for you get further...

You walk across the river....

Still you haven't reach your destiny...

You carry on....climb over the mountain...

Until you reach there....you can finally do whatever you want....(Fishing)

You try to settle down...

Look around...you will see something new(In this case...hornbills on the tree)

You start to fell like GREEN...



What? you think I post the same picture twice? This pic actually the Monkey from Monkey Island! (Monkey from Monkey Island: I am from Monkey Island!)


You get to see the wonderful Waterfall....

The poor skinny dog looking for food in the jungle...

You get to know more people living in the jungle....

Whatever you do...go ahead...never stop...

In the end, you will be rewarded....Bujang with his catch...

More reward like a bottle of 1.5L Cola...No...I mean more reward of Cola size fish...

And even bigger reward....

Seriously I mean the fish...

This is my collegue, Bujang's trip to Ulu Baram...He manage to get these pics from a local newspaper reporter which took the picture along the way. Thanks for sharing! :)

Hiking at Canada Hill Miri



We went for hiking yesterday in a group of 4. We start our walk to Canada Hill at 2.30pm






WTF, are u kidding me....SSSSSLIP.......slipper?








And what I wear? Soccer boots! Paiseh!







Kenny start the hiking in front of the pack with David just behind.




Mr. Kiu stay at the back, as Kenny in front...hey...where's that Kid, David?





What took them so long...I am top of the mountain already.








Along the way, We found a house in the middle of the jungle. Nobody lives there no more.





As our journey continue....






Look closer....there's mini waterfall in the jungle as well.





Rope in the middle.





Somebody left his trademark sign on the tree.












Alot of trees in this area










I ask David to took a picture of me showing my hiking skill.






Looking down...





It's almost there. Have a rest first...huh....






David finished the hike in first place. Thanx to his special designed local made slipper! We walk ourself back where we started and only arrived 4.30 pm. It tooks us 2 hours...






You also get to see Miri view from top of the hill.



Alot of people go for hiking at Canada Hill as hiking become more and more popular in Miri. It's good for your health but don't force yourself during the hike. Take rest once in a while and you can make it. Recommeded for my friend such as CFC etc. :)
