Rainbow Waterfall

01 May 2011 Sunday -  We went to Sungai Lembing by car from about 1.00 p.m. in the afternoon.Before we began our trip, we ate hearty meal of seafood noodles. The whole trip from KL to Sungai Lembing was about 3 hours. We finally arrived at 4 p.m. When we arrived, we met up with everyone else. Altogether there were 35 of us.

Not long after we arrived we rented a few bicycles at  the foot of a path uphill. As I was not so good at cycling, driving uphill was very tiring and I was exhausted when I finally reached the top. 

At the top, we reached the Sungai Lembing Museum and decided to see the museum. Finally I knew the history of Sungai Lembing. It used to be famous for its mining areas underground which was filled with gold, jewellery, crystals coal and tin ores. 

These are the wide range of equipments used to dig out the underground resources. This is my first experience in being able to see the world below us and I have gained more knowledge about it from this visit.

We cycled to our second destination (The Crystal House) and it was worth the effort cycling there. The place was filled with a whole collection of crystals and none looked the same. For what I know, a former miner built this place and kept his whole collection of crystals here. It was an amazing sight.

Not long after we left the Crystal House, we arrived at a narrow bridge. I brought  my bicycle to the other side of the bridge and decided to cycle around the whole village (the longer path)and end up at the place we started cycling and return our bikes.

As I was bringing my bicycle to the other side of the bridge, I managed to see the river view which looks very clean. It was a beautiful sight ~

Finally, we returned the bikes and went back to the budget hostel. We went to our respective rooms and slept like logs till the next day. ZZZZZ ...

1 April 2011- We woke up at 4.30 a.m. in the morning.One hour later, we had breakfast at the market and we sat on a four-wheeled car to get to the Rainbow Waterfall. 


We walked through a deep river. Which can be until waist height at the deepest part.A group of  2-3 people were to walk across the river together because of its strong currents.

It took us about 45 minutes to reach the peak. At this point of the hill we could never feel hot because of the waterfall's water vapour and slightly colder surroundings.

Water comes from an extremely high peak and splashes down on us. We were strongly advised not to get right under the waterfall because of safety reasons.

The rainbow began to appear at 9.00a.m. At first it was just a small rainbow but  it began to stretch as time passed. I'm glad to be able to see a rainbow in front of a waterfall for the first time.

Our lunch prepared by our tour guides. Lunch was instant cup noodles of any flavour(chicken, vegetarian, tomyam and curry. After eating the instant cup noodles, we reused the cup for some hot milo. 

The water was very cold and I truly enjoyed my whole trip there.

Testing Times

Now, I know its been a long time since I last kept myself updated here. Well, ever since the second semester started things were starting to fall out of place.Just when I had barely managed to pull myself together, the world around me started tearing itself to pieces again. Now, I don't know about everyone but the way I study is I tend to overexert myself for the first half of the semester to try to be a step or two ahead of the syllabus at all times so that the lecture will just be a refresher afterwards. I do this because:- 1. I kind of understand that I have fiery enthusiasm whenever a new semester begins but it dies down before I can go through the whole semester. This means I'm kinda short fused, losing interest if I don"t see a quickly rewarding outcome. Hence, over-studying in the start benefits me as I've covered the entire syllabus before the boredom falls into place, and 2.It's actually very rewarding to feel like you fully understand what the lecturer

Modelling Clay Angry Birds

Image
Angry Birds is the most addictive game around recently. Now that my trial exam is over, I can have a short break and continue blogging. During the  days of examination, I do some revision during the night and head off to bed early. When I find some time in between the times I do revision, I quickly head off to my room and work out my project. According to the game, these 3 birds are the first 3 avian missiles in the group. As I am saving up clay for further "projects", I only made the small ones fingernail-size. It might look easy but for me the smaller I make it, the more challenging it is to create one. It also consumes a lot of time to make the smaller three. You see, some accident occurred and the yellow bird  eyebrows just didn't look that nice anymore. I am very upset that the yellow bird didn't look like just the way I wanted it. The black bird was rather an easy task because it wasn't too small but the main problem was its crest and beak. For the white b

Beijing Summer Camp 2012

Image
This year’s Beijing Summer Camp held on the 17 th ~26 th of July in the Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) was the greatest camp I’ve ever been to. When we arrived in the BFSU, it was already midnight so we just checked into our rooms but I was so excited that I didn’t get tired and decided to stay up for a little while longer.  Without noticing that the sun rises earlier in the summer, I stayed up until I thought morning had already begun. Some of my friends woke up too and we were totally restless so we decided to have a walk around the school. As soon as we got out of our dorms, we saw plenty of beautiful places like the canteen, the hall and even the field but there was no one else around as the others were still sleeping while some other campers had still not arrived at the BFSU yet. Well, everyday day was better than the last and I am speechless about this amazing camp.             This camp really taught me a lot. I’ve had never experienced C
