it is impossble to tell the expedition story in just few lines. like many other ex-venturers expedition stories ,it will be "yat pat pou kan cheong.". that is the only period where i can still vividly remember what i did 10 weeks ago,where have i been, what i have seen and whom i talked to. it is so true and like what Mac like to say: YOU WILL HAVE AN AMAZING TIME.
PHASE 1:SEPILOK JUNGLE CAMP FOR BSBCC
-working closely with Borneo Sunbear Conservation Centre to build a jungle camp
-free admission to see baby orang utans which are under quarantine.
-free admission to see the smallest bear in the world,sunbear.
-lucky enough to witness a wild orang utan in sepilok jungle.
One of the very raleigh style photo on Bravo FWD! the jungle camp WE BUILT is just behind the oil palm tree. lots of laughter, rain, sweat, hardwork, sunshine, parang-ing, wood ferrying, hole digging, sawing, nailing , chiselling, mozzie bites, star gazing, singing and games...
it took us few days of hard work and trek before we can actually sit down and lay down like this. such a harsh environment but we made it.
all cleared in just a morning.my parang buddy(the one in grey shirt), has very beautiful blue eyes! maybe it is the most beautiful eyes i have ever seen. and her killing smile..i heard lots of english boys talked abt it one...
not only on parang-ing.we were hole digging buddy too.although she's also very good in digging long drop(a hole for us to pee and poo),sorry lo. i dun wanna be her long drop buddy.
living with whole bunch of angmohs,being the only malaysian in the group, i got lots of culture shock.eg. angmohs eat kuih with fork and knife. eat rice with fork. they said,spoon is for tea and soup ONLY.
eg.angmohs like to over exaggerate when they tell stories.mayb they wanna make it more interesting.my team mate told me she saw a DINASOUR in the jungle, where it was only a camourflage lizard.
lots of culture shock! you will know if u go expedition.
one thing that i'm very proud of this this papan i made.it is carved on belian wood,one of the hardest wood in the world and it takes a very very long time to reput.i want to get the papan back 2 years later."Rasa sayang" is the name of our camp. i had fun teaching them the song and laughed at them when they cannot pronouce it correctly.
the walkway of OUR jungle camp.took us 5 days to build the whole thing from foundation to zink roof.this is definately AMAZING job with AMAZING people in an AMAZING phase. i spent the last night of my phase sleeping in this jungle camp.that was one of the best nights in jungle.in the morning, the birds woke me up.
sometimes, leng lui got dirty too..hmm..maybe i should say, most of the time,everyone gets very dirty and sweaty.
on our day off! ps:stay tuned.more storis to come.
