Sumbiling Eco-Village, temburong Trip 26/3/2009

Went to Sumbiling Eco-village on group tours with my colleagues (and being combined with Katok's students) withh a atotal of about 40+ people altogether. We took the trip, which was offered/organized by Hasa Incentives Sdn Bhd (Warisan Mata-mata, Gdg). U can check their websites Borneoguide.com or Sumbiling.blogspot.com Package of B$55 (Brunei students price) includes: 1.Water taxi from and to bangar 2.Overland transpot (bus) from bangar to Sumbiling eco-Village 3.Morning & Afternoon Tea, and Lunch at the Village. 4.Jungle Trekking, medicinal Plant, River Tubing/Rafting and Fishing So practically what we went through that day were:
7.00am - meet at kianggeh
8.00am - depart Kianggeh
8.45am - arrived at Bangar Jetty
8.45-900am - short break then went on a bus to go Sumbiling
9.40am - arrived at Sumbiling Eco-Village end road, then walked for short distance.
10.00am - arrived at Pondok Sumbiling Ec-Village, and take short break for refresment and briefing by english-speaking tour guide.
10.40am - crossing Temburong river by Temuai (2minutes), then continue jungle trekking about 30 minutes. Some were very slippery spots.
11.15 - Reached Sungai Mutong (tributary of Temburong river), given group activity to build a raft + tube, for river cruising and survival. belumba wah with the other groups, and WE WIN! nasib nda tlapas rakit kami. but only 3 person were to sit on the raft, the rest jdi pengayuh+swimmer. water level that time as low as at your ankle level.. at some point maybe 10 - 15 feet deep.. which difficult for us to push the raft. The tubing back along the Mutong river took about 30 minutes (jauh kali ah).. REAL WET!
12.00 noon - (Going back to Sumbiling Eco-Village) Jungle trekking back to the point where we across Temburong River by Temuai earlier, but this time, we just cross the river ourselves (arus laju..kira bahaya jua sikit la), so here swimming and main-main air came as complementary hehe...
1.00-2.30pm - Freshen up and Lunch and Photoshoot...
3.00 - get back on the bus
4.00 - reach Pekan bangar then on the boat to Kianggeh before 5pm

My Friday Updates

spending my friday morning watching movie 'Match Point' - a married man crisis with his girlfriend forcing to marry ended up killing her gf. Then spent more time watching BBC Asia and Al-Jazeera, some of the few highlights from all around the world:

**9-year old Brazilian girl, underwent operation on abortion (step-father raped her and got pregnant), as abortion is illegal in Brazil, but at certain point it is compulsory due to high risk for the young girl to carry on with her pregnancy. ksiannnn

**GM (General Motors, USA) one of the largest car makers under a bankruptcy (though now 2nd after Toyota). GM cars include Saab, Cadillac, Saturn, Hummer, Chevrolet. To bankruptcy professional 'bankruptcy' means changing ownership, to the population at large it means liquidation and going out of business. and i saw from the TV these cars are on sale in the US. so thinking of buying those cars? pyah dpt spare parts tu krg.. **Fanatics Michael Jackson are so excited as MJ announced to his last/final show/concert in coming July. and some critics of his ability (age and helath concern) that would he be able to do as he was as a King of Pop. usulnya atu bah udah macam mayat hidup haha..

**Mahatma Gandhi items (round glasses, watch and sandals) sold in an auction for $1.8million (which at first expected only be sold around $20,000-30,000). Tony Bedi, a representative for winning bidder Vijay Mallya, who owns Kingfisher beer, (as the items will be donated to the Indian Government) speaks to the media after a contoversial auction in New York City, yesterday. In spite of an order to cancel the sale by owner James Otis and an uproar in India. mula-mula saja-saja kan menjual..tau-tau sanggup org bid smpi millions of dollars.**World War 2 Filipino veteran soldiers given compensation payments ('forgotten' compensation by U.S) just recently after waited for 6 decades. The US paid a total sum of $198 millions or amounted $15,000 for each. as one 91-year old veteran said "we are loyal to the United States, except that the United States has forgotten us). banar tah juaaa ahhh.. more??? liat sendiri BBC and Al-Jazeera
