My travelogue.

Sama Jaya Forest Park

May 5, 2007May 4, 2007 sweet surrender 14 Comments

Sama Jaya Forest Park is very popular among joggers. It’s situated near Stutong Park(that housing estate should be known as this I think :P), opposite the police quarters at Tabuan area. We were supposed to be going to Damai but at the end the cosplayers changed their mind and decided to go somewhere near. We were there from noon to around 4pm. I didn’t expect that there were so many people actually jogged there at around 1pm-3pm.

We have Malaysia China Friendship Park(1) (2) at Jalan Song. Here, we have Hiroshima-Sarawak Friendship Garden. This garden is only open when you request for it.

There’s a Japanese Tea House in there but not sure how it functions. Maybe you need do reservation or something to be able to use it. Hmmm…

Left: Parking space.
Right: There are many buildings there and don’t ask me what are they for. I have no idea. It’s too hot to walk around to explore them.

While waiting for the cosplayers to complete their filming. We went jungle tracking. Beware of mosquitoes, monkeys and falling branches! Almost got attacked by the monkeys when we tried to take photos of them. So, don’t play play. Hahaha… Don’t feed them too. The track is 1600m long and it took us about 20+ minutes to finish the track by walking.

Some flowers. Nothing much.

Left: The reflexology path. It’s much bigger than the one at Jalan Song and it has various levels.
Right: It was super hot! I was so bored. Took some photos and that’s it. Nothing interesting to see. No nice flowers. The plants there looked like in the a very pity stage.

Borneo Highlands – Lunch & Goodbye

March 10, 2007March 18, 2007 sweet surrender 4 Comments

Lunch time! We checked out before we went for lunch at Annah Rais Cafe.
Left: Satay, vegetarian version of course. The satay tasted good. Also salads.
Right: Corn and egg soup. Very thick, love it!

Rice, beehoon, mixed veggies, and pineapple beef(not real meat, don’t dream!)

Mixed veggies again… And “you cha kueh” cooked with sweet sauce(this should be the morning leftover and they turned it into another type of dish), and fruits.

left: Red rice porridge, at first we thought it’s red bean porridge. 😛 So thick! It’s cooked with sugar, coconut milk and sago.
Right: Coffee or tea?

While we were dining, the fog(it’s called fog right?) kept coming on and off. One moment things became invisible, another moment it’s visibile again. As if you’re in the fairy land or something. The weather was very cooling that day compare to the day before. We were expecting it to turn hotter around 1pm but still the same. See the photos below… WOW!

Must take photo as memory before going down. See the view behind us? Couldn’t even see the field at the back. The visibility was so low.

That’s the end of my Borneo Highlands trip report. My conclusion, it’s a nice place to escape. The resort is small and this makes the staffs able to give you more personal attention, make you feel comfortable, and they treat you just like their friends instead of a customer. They are very helpful too. Food tastes good. Compare with those vegetarian food out there, out there sucks. The environment is great except hahaha… Maybe the washing closet and no attached shower but I don’t really mind. Price wise, on the normal days without promotion are a wee bit too high for many people. Other than that, I’m quite happy with it.

Oh, we didn’t have enough time to get a massage/facial. They start from RM80 and above and the shortest duration is 30 minutes depending on which massage/facial you are getting. It will be charged into your room.

By the way, the videos are up in You Tube. I will post them here when I’m free. I think you are overloaded with the trip report already hahahah…

I still have a lot of photos unrelease ;P I will blog again about it when I have nothing to blog. It’s too pretty that’s why must share them with you. Not to forget our camwhore photos too;p

Mind you, this trip is fully beared by ourselves, Borneo Highlands isn’t paying us anything for this review. As for the offer, I had finalised with them. Too bad it’s only applicable for a group of 10 people or more and I must go too else you won’t be able to get that offer. I don’t think I can go again this year since I have other things lining up. I have to let the offer go and sorry to all of you that looking forward to the offer. Too bad… Don’t worry, there will be another offer in August. I will update you on it by then.
