BORNEO..

Second day, 21st March 2011- Journey to Ulu Engkari Batang Ai


Today.. we continue our journey to Ulu Engkari Batang ai. Everyone woke up as early as 4.00am that morning and while waiting for the rest to be ready, i prepared a simple breakfast for them, bread with tuna and jam seem it will be a long journey to go. About 4-5 hours from Kuching by van and 1 and half hour by boat  but depend on the level of the water. 


Right after everyone has ready, we started our journey, headed to Batang Ai by 7.00am. It's rainy a long the way to Batang Ai.First one hour or may be less we reached Serian. Ariff seem excited, he showed us his old school just behind St' Theresa Church. what to say.. come down memory land..hihihi


In the meanwhile, i messaged papa that we on the way to batang ai and ask him to wait for us at the jetty with all the stuff that i had request him to bring along. 


The next hour.. sound of "s-hungry-la rhythm" begun to appear. I know everyone is hungry like crazy especially our "hungry princess" (you know who) hmmmm..  the only thing i can said is.. "sabar ye" huhhu... till we reached at Lachau rest-stop. This rest stop is about 120 km from Kuching.We stop here for a while. while waiting for the others to make their visit to PT for "weewee", we walked to the "Tamu" @ market. looking for something to eat, just lo slow down the sound of "s-hungry-la rhythm". By 9.45am we continue our way to Batang ai. heww...still have few hours to go. Even though that special sound slow down a bit, i felt a bit guilty.. i should aware and concern bout that. Pity them..have to bear for the special sound with them. Sorry hungry princess.. i know your stomach need some work, right after we reach Batang ai you can pampered your stomach. Papa was already there waiting for us with the lunch.. 


At 10.30am, we stop at Engkilili for police report. Tempat jatuh lagi dikenang, inikan pula tempat bermain. My house (which i love to stay in rather than at kuching)  is actually next to this police station on the right side.


finally..we safely reached at Batang ai jetty. Im so excited.. and i excited to see my papa. I miss him really. But i have to bear for a while because Mr Yiu kim beng (senior MA), Mr awang ismardi (MA) and Penghulu Rentap was waiting for us since a hour ago for the first session of this program which is briefing about the health status in the area. Sorry for keep you all waiting for our arrival. Anyhow.. thank you so much Mr Yiu, Mr awg, and Penghulu. 


For a moment i thought that they might be forget about their 's-hungry-la rhythm" because the beautiful scenery attract they more. Enjoy the nice view guys!!!


Before we continue our journey to ulu engkari, let have a lunch first. Hungry princess... eat well ya..hihihi..
everyone seem really excited to ride the boat. Luckily, when we reached at batang ai jetty the weather was very nice. It's take us 1 and half hour travel a long the river to kg Nanga setamang. Excited, nervous.. 1001 feeling mixed and blend together.. Enjoy the nature everyone!!!

we arrived at kg nanga setamang at 3.15pm. euww..such a very long journey from kuching to nanga setamang. 


i better stop here and let this video tell the rest. hmm.. i might be miss something. ^_^
