I was wondering what 'rainforest' is when asked to go. Not verbally, but whether it's a place to eat or play or that it really is a rainforest. Then mummy told me it's somewhere further than Lambir. Which means it IS a rainforest! So I gleefully agreed to go, hoping that I would come back in time for orchestra prac.

The trip was for Youth Fellowship from church actually. I thought the 4 of us oldies - you know who you are - were just tagging along for fun. But we were honourably pronounced as helpers by our pastor. And poor helpers who all sat in van with no air-cond, these kiddos took up all seats in van with air-cond. Fine..we had fun sharing cold jokes in the natural wind.

We reached after a bumpy journey of around 50 mins. Greeted by this tree.

Heading into the main building.


Apparently, we were very welcomed. There were even iced welcome drinks.

Model of the team-building facilities. But it's too expensive to use. Pity.

We set off in a shuttle. Lovely. That's our guide and with a cap on, our mini-size pastor.

SOP's property.

First stop. Animal Farm.

Mr. Peacock looks very arrogant with wicked eyes.

Herd of sheeps. They zoom around for no reason.

I wasn't listening. Guess she's talking about where we're going.

Right. 2nd stop. What do you think it is?

A waterfall. And a very small one it is as you see. That miserably narrow flow.

The water is crystal clear at least. I remembered someone drank it.
Hopped onto our dear shuttle again. Longer trip this time with plenty of sceneries. City dwellers, you know what's fresh air?

I spy! You spy anything? The faraway mountain terrain - looks like a woman lying down. Head's on the right side.

Get a magnifying glass. Eagle nest on the tree.

Can you differentiate?

Durian tree - pointy, tall, slim.

Mango tree - short, fat, round.

Walking down to the lake for a boat ride.

Tada! That's our boat.

I felt like questioning the guide why she doesn't need to wear a life jacket. XD

Any monkeys? Pop your head out...

Feeding time. Guide said that there are approximately 100000 fish in the lake.

Having a nap seemed perfect at that time. Very peaceful and cool.

Lunch time!! Black pepper lamb was nice.

The sign reads 'Nature Park'. Started off from here.

Jungle trekking..in the rain halfway through. Slippery mud and leeches. But I really wanna say something. I received 2 mosquito bites the entire day at the rainforest. At home, I get an average of 8 bites for hanging the clothes in 5 minutes.

Row, row, row your boat. Fun it was. Slamming into other ppl's boats..

Trail leading to another waterfall!

Short little waterfall. But the water is deep! Cheers to life jacket! Right, I can't swim.

Stream nearby.

So much for my Rainforest Trip! Thumbs-up..hope to go another time. Not much chance to go poking around in the jungle these days. Lol.

*Christmas carolling tonight!! Luckily fever's better! Voice is still a problem.*
