Tenom camping trip

Finally I managed to gather our camping photos. Selected a few of them to post here. I hope you have a broadband connection, because I didn't compress the files. It can be slow to load.

Tenom. A nice, peaceful town. Hadn't been there for exactly 3 years... Changed quite a lot from my last visit, and this is how the town looks like now.


Group photo at Yit Foh Coffee Factory. Had FREE coffee testing session. I had 3 cups.


This is what you see when you enter Sabah Agricultural Park. The building right ahead is the Information Centre.


The camp where we slept.


A photo taken during jungle trekking, at an observation gazebo on top of the hill. Cikgu Hisyam, Jiron, Miss Aileen, me.


Found this really nice spot during jungle trekking, I climbed up, and Miss Aileen took the snapshot.


Jiron, Denna, Icha (Clarissa), me, William. The five of us virtually hung together the whole camping.


After a beautiful bamboo forest a la Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, we reach a small lake (or should I call a pond?) with flying fox facility.


A snapshot outside the Bee Museum.


Everyone's getting photographed from the front. So I tried something different...


After the jungle trekking and visit to the Bee Museum, Jiron and I rent bikes and rode around the park with Denna and Icha. Later we regrouped with others, and took a small fancy train that brought us around the park (again...).


Really-really nice...




"Help!!! The big pitcher plant is having me for dinner!"
Actually it was a rubbish bin... I almost put my head in it for the above photo, but common sense prevailed. =)

At Tropical Oriental Garden. Exhausted. Hadn't had a rest since the jungle trekking. So let's sit for while.


After collecting enough info and photos for folio, Jiron and I went back to the camping site, where Denna and Icha were waiting. Why were they waiting? Because... we were going boat-rowing at the lake! William joined us later. I don't think any of us noticed, but the evening sunset was great.

That night, we performed short plays. The performances were sicker than Stephen Chow's movies, and all of us had a great laugh. Just ask Jasmine... Rite, Jasmine? Then it's time to barbeque to fill 60+ hungry stomachs with sausages and chicken wings. If I remember correctly, we stopped barbequing at 12 midnight. Full stomachs. Most went to sleep. We didn't. Guess what we did? Midnight walk on a full moon beside the lake. And so we didn't sleep until about 4 a.m.

I had two hours of sleep before awaken by teacher's whistle. Hastily packed up in semi-consciousness and head to the bus that would take us to the train station 15 km away. The train wasn't leaving till half past 7, so we took the opportunity to go to the pasar to have the famous chu ken noodle for breakfast. I showed the way, Miss Aileen paid for the noodle. Yay!

"KK, we're coming home!" (but this picture was actually taken when we were halted by a minor landslide ahead...)


Oh... I left out much of Day 1's story, didn't I? Well, maybe next time.

Ukiya: Huh? All the while Shannon, Carl and I have been talking so much about our trip to Tenom during Form 4, yet you didn't notice the part where Noel accidentally banged his head on the gate at Taman Pertanian?

Jasmine: We got 4th... Too bad, we got the humours but not enough message.

Oh, the chicken wings were nice? I only ate one myself. The biggest one. Hahaha. Ya bah, the leftovers were wasted, because not many were willing to stay up and eat... No lar, we didn't have stomach cramps...

Just take any pictures that you like. They're not mine anyway. Hahaha... And yes, I'm a bumble bee busy collecting my "honeys". Bzzzzz~!
