A Game of Choice

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 vi...

The 5th day - That morning we went sightseeing  by the Lijiang River. My dad and sister Jennifer took plenty of photos  at that time. It is said that Guilin has a lot of different varities of mountains.   This tree is among one of most ancient highlights. This tree is well-known for  its age. It is more than a thousand years old. It was growing wider and its branches didn't grow upwards as it  had a rather short stem instead the branches also grew sideways. Somehow,  as the base area of the tree wasn't big enough its branches soon connected to the ground . However, as it was still growing the branches  formed roots and it seemed as if the ancient tree had connected itself to other trees. That night, we travelled from Guilin to  Guangzhou by train. At first, I thought it would be like a bullet train but we were going there by an ordinary old railway train which would take us at least  9 hours to arrive in Guangzhou. We ordered the beds for ...

The third day - After we checked out from the Longsheng Hotel, we took few hours to come back to Guilin, so we couldn't do much that day. At night, we walked along the riverside which was a short walk from our hotel. The two pagodas behind us were said to be an amazing sight at night. In the  night, one shone brightly of a golden brown colour and the other shone a bright silver light upon the city. Day 4 - We visited the biggest cave in Guilin - 冠岩Kwan'am Cave. As the entrance to the cave was quite narrow, we had to transfer to this mini-van . This caving experience in China was quite special as we not only did everything on foot but also got to experience travelling by boat, train and lift for the first time. During our travel by boat, the tour guide advised us not to put our hands up in the air and mind for our head as this part of the cave's top was close to the water.  This part of the passageway covered by aluminium foil. Inside the cave they placing colourful l...

28 November 2010     I woke up early this morning deciding to explore Tempurung Cave together with Aunty Ebbie's family and friends alongside with Le Chi's family. There was a total of 23 people in our group. We took about two and a half hours drive there as it was a long way away from our homes. We arrived at Tempurung Cave (located at  Perak, Land Of Grace) at nine thirty in the morning.  The entrance fee for the Grand Tour was  RM 22 per adult and RM11 per child. When we arrived we took a look at the map and  it looked  something like this ........ The Grand Tour(Package 4) had four compartments and our tour took three and a half hours and we saw lots of cave formations that  we shouldn't miss but we didn't get to capture many pictures about them as our  tour guide was a bit too fast.  First, we are told to walk on the platform and stairs  to explore the cave's first compartment. This compartment is filled with l...

We went to Genting Highland on 10-09-2010. It was so crowded, we queued up a line for game more than an  hour T.T , wasted most of our quality time. Sister Rachel (1st left) will go back to Korea next week. I hope this photo can give me a memorable of  her. Flying Coaster is extremely fun but it is not so hygiene. There are many mini games with assorted awards.
