Trip to Sarawak - Day 5

Day 5: Miri + Bintulu
12th January 2008

As i mentioned earlier.. we woke up at 6am.. Moved out from hotel at 7am. Had Beef Noodle as breakfast. The soup smells nice and the beefball is very springy... But too bad.. i had throat infection so didn't get to really enjoy this meal. Soon after that, we went to Gua Niah. The Park is one of Sarawak's smaller national parks. The park's main claim to fame is its role as one of the birthplaces of civilisation in the region. The oldest modern human remains discovered in Southeast Asia were found at Niah, making the park one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. We had to take a motorboat to cross a very small river (summore had to pay RM1 each..) then walk the forest trail before reaching the Cave. The whole journey is 4.2km, and to my amusement, we walked 8.4km... but it was worth it..



On our way... we saw a snake.... luckily no one was injured..
PS: To those going to the cave, please discharge all your body liquid and solids before going in. Because there's no proper toilet in there and you have to walk 8.2km before you can discharge... (That's wat happened to me.. gan chiong :P)

Came out from the cave at 5pm. Everyone was drop dead tired. Not only due to the walking.. but also lack of sleep. Who asked us to go karaoke yesterday... But Adrin, Wei Rung and Jia Feng still managed to drive 100km back to Miri.. A round of applause for them!!! When reached Miri, we went to the 'Hanging Bridge'.. It's just like the Bukit Cagar we used to have in JB. Except that it's more beautiful and hi tech... That was the last tourist spot we went in Miri.

Before going to Bintulu, the gals took shower at Xiao Zhen's house whilst the guys at Wei Rung's house. I would like to take the opportunity here to extend a zillion of thanks to them. Without them, Miri will not be the Miri we see... Soon, at 9pm, we boarded on the bus, heading towards Jia Feng's house... Bintulu...

We reached at about 1am. He had everything arranged. The moment we reached bus stand, his daddy, brother, and mum were there to pick us up. You must be thinking, we will sleep when we reach his house.. but you are WRONG!!! We went for supper despite so tired. BUT...IT was WORTH IT.... the best Chicken leg we have in the whole Malaysia... Even Ah Bee gave his virginity to it.. Besides Fried Chicken Leg, the Fried Egg is also nice. It's called 'san se jian dan'.. it is a combination of salted egg, pi dan, and chicken egg. Mayb wanna try cook at home.. :P The supper is so 'homely'....

finished everything....

Finally, after filling our stomach, we went to bed...

The more precious thing is what we encounter together, despite the thick and thin, the high and low, the long and short.
