Posted by shonitay at 4/16/2010 10:50:00 AM
ohiyo!!!! today is a good day!!! my love will be back tonight!! @.
yays!!! i'm floating in the air now dy!!! kakakakkkaakka!:))
since i'm in such a good mood... i'll talk about my Mulu Trip

This is our dinner at Miri Town in one of the recommended shop by 'Miri'ans
~Ming Cafe~
The paku pakis is so nice but the tomyam is not nice at all
The next morning, we were at the airport early in the morning to bord the flight to Mulu
Bored at the airport so we spent our time on the third most useful activities after sleeping and eating
i.e. reading... or to be exact PRETEND to be reading = take pictures!!! WTF
Just before we board the flight, me and yennee hurriedly took a picture of ourselves with the cute plane because this baby was really reallyyyyy cute!
up in the air... 30 minutes flight to mulu... over forest and river... i think that is Sungai Tutoh
this is the smallest airport that i have ever been and it is weird to see everything is done manually in airport. there is no conveyor belts and they just bring your bags and leave it on a table for your collection

upon arrival, we saw two signs presumably is for guests to take photos while they unload the luggages and so being so bright we thought we could use the help of an uncle who was using those big big sophisticated camera to help us take a group photo! wow! his skill was so amazing! he took the most natural picture of us as what you can see above!! no posing, no fake smiles! al naturel!
fed up and still bored, we took some more photos with the beautiful and clean surrounding of the airport... until i found that there was a cute tuk-tuk waiting just outside the main door of the airport from our resort!
so the kiasu me, yennee and meiyun took stupid pictures with it before it gets filled with angmohs
i had a feeling that we would not be able to get to board it as we had some big luggages with us


so we end up riding on a baggage truck....
the weather was good and the sun was shining at its maximum!!
so the puteri lilins got ready with our gears!!
previously i blogged about leeches and how to prevent it here
so we wore panty hose for our first adventure after lunch
me, fully equipped to explore mother nature!!
panty hose - checked
knee support - checked
thick socks - checked
kampung adidas - checked

at the entrance to Mulu National Park...
JC looking scared like a kitten and almost fainted! hahahahha


sometimes i cannot blame humans to be so hamsap
or why people love porn so much
can't blame anyone... its human's nature..
cause mother nature is also so hamsap!!!


don't believe me ah?? ok.. let me prove to you...what our guide told us
introducing... this plant is called "ladies bum"


and this is "lover's penis"!!
any guess why the leaves have so many holes??
no present for correct guesses ok!
oh this is Eugene, our first guide of the day... and the best to me!!
i'm on the top of the JUNGLE!!! Mulu Canopy Skywalk at 480 metres is the longest tree-based walkway in the World and I HAVE CONQUERED IT!! *feels proud*
it's so easy lah like peanuts! ahem!
see my gloves?? i borrowed that dirty old glove my mom used to wear when she made kuih kapit!
recycling is good for mother nature okay and i am playing my part!!!wtf
~use recycled gloves to save the earth!! a community service message from shoni~
the naughty Eugene again spoil my picture... this is supposed to be a victorious picture proving that i have SUCCESSFULLY CONQURED THE LONGEST TREE BASED WALKWAY IN THE WORLD!
me and yennee in Lang's Cave
decided that with our camera, no pics will turn out nice however good we look because of the camera's limitation!

and so we end up taking pictures with signage in a vain attempt to say "i wuz here"
profile of Abraham Lincoln, the late US president who was assasinated in April 1865
This is how Deer Cave looks from the inside...looking so pretty
on the ground, coating the big pebbles are guano, in layman's term
SHIT...in precise, BAT's SHIT.
WTF!!!
damn smelly okay! the smell is so evil, that it slowly penetrates your nose and takes its own sweet time to torture you!!
ahhh... after the ground of terror in shit valley, we got to see a spark of hope
this place we called Garden of Eden... which was actually a garden above the collapsed roof of the cave
get the message?
then we went to the bat's exodus observatory to wait for the appearance of Batman! wtf
ok. here is where we got a chance to see a spectacular sight of the bats on their voyage out to look for food in the evening around 6pm. The amazing thing about these bats is that when they reach the Deer cave mouth, they will make a circle for a few minutes before proceeding out in a wavy single line.
After watching the bats, we walked a LONGGGG WAYYYYY out back to the park headquarters and i thought i almost DIED!! i could smell the flowers at heaven's garden! wtf!!!!
i could not feel my legs attached to my body anymore and my legs were now filled with blisters!!!
so we went back to the resort and had our hearty dinner!! the buffet spread there was good and there was lots of vege dishes which makes it all wonderful again!!
then i made up my mind to a spontanic decision to go for the foot reflexology no matter what is the price to make sure my leg was attached back to my body and i could move it the next day again!
it was hell of a shitty touch that i was truly pissed and ended up relying on 'salonpas' spray..will talk about this in another blog post
