finally and luckily, there comes my adventure phase for my last phase. this is the most enjoyable phase, more like a vacation. because we no longer have to work under hot sun!
after taking 4hrs of four wheel drive(with guaranteed good mountain view) from a small town Sipitang, we finally arrived to the KAMPUNG LONG PASIA!
photo of long pasia from a hill. i was so excited when i first arrived here. this village exists out of no where in the middle of the jungle. it is soo soo soo beautiful---a big piece of land, fulled of wooden houses,schools, football field, church and occasionally some small ladang, surrounded by mountain range and serene jungle.the cooling weather in long pasia makes the village the best villages to stay on in sabah.(i think la)
a bird eye view of long pasia village from quite high altitude.(taken when we're on the way to senipong campsite)
job description: very simple.as below.everyday, we trek with big rucksack and kena attacked by hundreds/thousands/millions/billions of desperate brown leeches/tiger leeches.
reached campsite,set up hammock,dining area. then, chill out time! people walk around, chit chat,play games....
if Nooh and the porters have got some free time, they will make us some games.
on the third day of trek, our guide,Nooh, he bubuk-ed a baby monkey! we named this cute little creature "Si Hutan". since then, hutan joined our team for the rest of the trekking phase and everyday he gave me a morning call by producing this "wu wu wu" sound. i remembered one of my trekking mate said:"isn't it a dream of every little boy to have a monkey as friend and let it sit on your shoulder?"
after chilling out, this is where we usually have a mandi ! i love all the rivers mandi in long pasia. challenged yourself to the extremem coldness!! we had fun time celup-ing there.
one of the river that we have to cross. it's a HUGE river,i was astounded. i've never seen a river like that. i remembered sitting by the river for a long time by just doing 1 thing, observed how the water flow.. thinking if i kena flush away by the river water and you will never see me again. dun play play....
one of the animal i got to eat at "karnivor" long pasia is.....pelanduk! taste a bit like pork and the meat was a bit rough. after the night we got pelanduk, we hoped for more: kancil, kijang, wild boar......but we never got any coz it was raining everyday.
this is how we lived in a jungle...god...i really missed those time...the time when i was awake twice a night because of the freezing cold weather. missed also the bird chirping soulnd in the early morning. missed also the morning where we have to rush to take down hammock, clear the campsite and keep moving.
trekking wasn't hard at all. during off day, we went there! there---MAGA WATERFALL!! i swear i have never been to this kind of places b4,such a nice place! everyone was amazed by the fierce water which flows down at an unbelievably fast speed. my team mate and i even refused to leave the beautiful maga falls.
after 12 days trek,our happy time at long pasia finally came to end.i left no regret in long pasia, coz i already enjoyed as much as i can.erm, mayb a small regret, i lost some cenderamatas that Nooh gave to me.then, we proceed to the equally fun phase---diving phase!! it's time for vacation at mamutik island!
Vacation time!!Jess at sutera habour.(just wanna show a nice picture taken by me.)
times at mamutik...i dunno what to say...it is just---real fun time! and of coz one of the reasons is....i dun have to eat oat porridge as breakfast anymore!
the diving instructor who taught me also new photography skill.thank you.
