Unspoken...



Lanjak Entimau Wildlife Sanctuary expedition was what I've waiting for all this while..And it's really worth for everything. What's so special??? Well..for me..I would say almost everything. maybe for some other participants..was not so satisfied with some of the services or facilities..but for me..I've already expected for the worst in most situation..so I guess I was ready..and there was no problem at all for me..everything was fun and marvellous..

LEWS is situated at Nanga Bloh Headquarter Sibu Sarawak. It took about 2 hours boat from Sibu to Song by Express boat to transit to Nanga Bloh where it took anbother 4 hours by using long boat. Then, we were placed at a rest house and some were placed at camp site.

The next morning, I started my journey where I've joined other researchers from various organisation where we were to head to Ulu Latong.,.the border of Malaysia-Kalimantan...WOW!!
The journey took about 3 days boating to get to the main camp site. Only 14 of us included all those strong Ibanist boatman. DAmn, they're really superb!! When mentioning about their sizes, of course they're not big..but talking their energy..like a superman..they can carry the boat man. It was because,heading to that place we have to go against the current..i'm talking about the furious one here..and some more it was going upstream as the altitude increased and need to go through all those stony ways..I'm sure u're imagining it now..People would say..How to go? Stones are all over..Well..that's what I alled challenging. Of course I didnt joined them to carried the boat coz they dont want me to fall or injured, they really took care of me..especially when I am the only lady there. They will do everything, setting up and off the tent, cooked, portering..almost everything. And me..what am I doing ? I did photographing them , birds and everything that caught my attenttion. And they liked being filmed by me..hahaha..
The water are as cold as iced, as green as jade and as clear as glass. I'm sure u can imagine that..U can even see fishes swiming around you..what a nice thing..I felt so soothing and happy. Sometimes, when I was bathing, those fishes will come near you..especially the little ones..if the one came I'll sure run or screammm..hahaha..because they're really big mannn... they wont bite u..most of them are frugivorous fish..like Kelah or Semah. .Yummy..
And sometime..when we are to tired to set up the tent..we just sleep barely on the ground and roofing by millions of stars..wow..I never get this experince before..and it was so damn interesting. .Only have sleeping bag covering each of us. .

Well..there's so much more to say..will be continue in Unspoken 2..wait..
