A walk tru my lens…

It all happen when my mom called asking if I was free in May to go for the apple festival with them and ask me to block the dates (5/5/10 – 10/5/10). And I was not in the mood to go there. Dint know what to expect. But everything change on the very day I left Kuching for Miri.

I was suppose to be on the 4.30pm flight to Miri on the 5th but was stranded in Kuching airport for 2 hours… It made me even more frustrated and felt like should I be on this flight? Is the 2 hours enough to fix the plane?

Anyway, we left Kuching at about 6.30pm. An hour later i was in Miri…. Met up with few of my old buddies and hang out till late.

Because I came back home bout nearly 4 am I decided not to sleep coz at 5.30 am I had to leave to the airport again to catch on my flight to Bakelalan. This was the 1st time as a young adult I sat in a twin otter and the feeling was exited and SCARY…. as the plane was so small and tiny. I had to band down to walk in the plane and it had sits like the ones use in a public bus.

As soon as we landed at Bakalalan airpot we were treated like a Super VIP… with their welcoming committee, Dance Group, Traditional Music Players, etc…..

Later the 1st day we were taken on a ride with their 4×4 expert driver. Went Village hopping. It was fun but because I had no hair on my head, it gave me a massive sun burn…

We also had a close up to their ” Salt Spring”. Where they process their high quality salt. On the way there we were also greeted by some of the villagers and we had lunch prepared in Bamboo…

Later that day the villagers took us to the primary school to be with the Kids. (SKK Bakalalan). They too arrange some activities for us. A small tele match with the kids… It was so colorful and fun looking at them.

The next day was the grand opening of the Apple Fiesta ’10. So we went to the apple orchard which was the other side of the airstrip.

Later that day the invited us to join their mini little game…

The next day till wednesday nothing much really happen. I hike up to the view point with on of the voleenter teacher for USA, name Blair Daly, and some kids. Walk around the villages. Owh ya, my flight was canceled on Monday due to bad weather. It was raining. In the end I used the Wednesday flight back to Miri, then back to Kuching the later that afternoon.

I will go back to this place…
