Taking Leaves for 2 weeks!

Tak tahu nak letak tanda noktah atau tanda seruan untuk tajuk di atas

Tetapi at least sempena 2013....dapat jugak ambil cuti

Kawan kawan sudah ambil cuti bulan disember, tetapi ingat nak ambil the last 10 day of December

Tapi bila kerja tak habis habis...

Sekarang dapat rest betul-betul....

Azam bercuti....nak siapkan research yang tak siap siap sejak 2010.

Nak siapkan beberapa poster presentation....

Lepas rest...kena oncall gila gila! sebab cuti lama sangat

Harap harap selepas bercuti ni temperature tak naik sangat 

Need to change the name

Too obvious

Trying to hide under the picture and story

So, change the name

Thanks

Go Mulu ! Penan village in Long Iman, Mulu

Long Iman, i could say its the most modern Penan settlement in Sarawak. They still using long house type but the dressing and toilet are like what we are using. Some of them been studied and work outside Sarawak and Malaysia too. 

Most of them in long Iman are christian. 

The journey start form Royal Mulu Resort jetty took about 1 hour. Thats because air cetek, so at some part we have to walk along the sides of the river. Since we were actually against the water flow, so boat quite slow and with 8 people inside!

Whats the beautiful is the scenery along the river bank. No words to say....

Boat waiting for us in front the resort

 Takut nak naik bot sebab mabuk. Siap bawa ubat mabuk.

Tapi bila dah naik bot, tak rasa apa apa pun.

Dah sampai pun .....

Jetty kat Long Iman

Rumah panjang....

Selamat datang

 Kami gunakan gereja merangkap dewan mesyuarat mereka.

Kami sampai dalam pukul 10 pagi, tak adalah ramai pesakit sangat. Masa tu kebanyakan mereka dah ke kebun. Tengahari baru dia orang balik.

This is typical penan people..the hair. He must be very old. 

Masalah sikit...biasanya typical Penan. Dia orang tak faham sangat bahasa.

Jadi kena guna interpreter...

Ketua Kampung cuba menerangkan cara cara makan ubat

Trying full effort to explain

Thats all for Go Mulu!

Go Mulu ! Small Creatures in the Mulu National Park

Saya cuma nak tunjuk binatang-binatang kecil yamg kami jumpa sepanjang-panjang perjalanan ke canopywalk. Itu pun our tour guide yang tunjuk..he..he..he

Itupun kalau nampak....ada...
Kat hutan, binatang ni kenalah suvive untuk hidup. kalau tidak kena makan..

Jadi, bentuk dan color hampir menyerupai kawasan sekitarnya..

Lets see...

Trip belum habis lagi

Go Mulu ! canopy skywalk Mulu National Park

Masih terfikir fikir samada nak pergi cave atau canopywalk.

Bukan apa gua ni kan tempat jin bertendang. 

Walaupun ramai yang pergi, ada juga yang tak bernasib baikkan.

Lagipun saya penakut sikit nak panjat panjat tebing....gayat

Kalau nanti nak pergi toilet macamana?

Bukannya ada toilet dalam gua tu

Canopywalk paling lama 45 minit je 

nak ke gua tu ada 2 gua kena pergi same time, takes 3 hours!

Kesimpulannya pergi canopywalk je

Kata gayat tadi!

Antara duanya, saya lebih ke canopywalk...ada tangga dan pagar.

Gua mana ada!

Entrance to Mulu Park dah start dengan jambatan gantung

Mula mula sampai dah naik jambatan gantung. Bergoyang-goyang...
Scary..its just the beginning

we registered to the Mulu park office. Actually you have to make a booking date before you joining the tour because they only take maximum people like 15 for canopy walk and somewhere around 20+ for caves. but they have many groups that started at different time. so if not in peak season no rush.

we paid for entrance fee RM 15 lasted for 5 days has to be wear like bangle on our wrist. Then another RM 35 for canopy tour.

Of course foreigner has to pay higher.
Different tour with guide has different fees

Only certain tour has without fees...like waterfall
You have to follow the guide for your own safety

Because its really a jungle inside. If you lost....

To protect the plant, we have to walk on the wooden pathway whenever available.
I make sure i did not step on the ground...mana tau ada makhluk halus tinggal di situ.

Infront the Park office

All the tour guide are locals mostly who are very fluent in English. The private local guide not employed by the Park but must registered with the Park are taking oversea people depends on their travel agent. They only bring probably 1 or 2 couples of foreign tourist. The pay of course very very  expensive.

Toilet..its clean inside but...western style. tak ada paip air kat dalam toilet

Nice garden in front the office. Far sight are the chalet

Now...can we start our journey to canopy skywalk....

This is the single bungalow in the Park. Quite cheap compare to Royal Mulu. They don't have modern facilities means no aircond. Only fan. Hot water?? not sure

I think this one with semi-D rooms

You have to cross this nice chalet before going to the jungle. Thats why i show this photo. Ok lets walk....

Sambung lagi....
