Borneo Tropical Rainforest Resort.. my experience..

during saturday and sunday.. when to Borneo Tropical Rainforest Resort.. ah.. yes that resort is in a rainforest.. that place is located not far from miri.. its more like the outskirts of miri.. on the way to Bintulu..

ok.. 1st of all.. my very very 1st impression was this place is like a whole new enviroment to me.. i had never been into a rainforest.. as in into it.. normally for rainforest.. i would just stand by the road side and say:" hey look! its the rainforest..." ya, that was before.. so this would be a whole new experience to me.. i really enjoyed it..it was quite fun and rather tiring..

1st day.. ah.. the rainforest.. we reached there around 1 pm..went to the reception desk to check in.. the service there was good at first.. i really love the enviroment there.. it was so cooling.. and ya.. there were heaps of mosquitoes there.. that i really hate.. its bad enough that my house have tonnes of mosquitoes.. now more.. hate it.. well, that time our room wasnt ready yet.. so we went into our temporary room which is called "engkabang" ..well.. gee.. that room was small.. but luckily it was only temporary..

2pm, went on the tour around the rainforest.. met some friends on the tour bus.. such a coincidence... i saw many plants.. and some plants are like evil.. one touch of it and u get rashes all over.. its not just the plants.. the fruits as well.. wild fruits.. ps.. i never knew fruits are wild.. all i noe that is i thought only animals are wild.. oh well.. then there is the mini zoo.. i was like shocked.. :" u have a zoo in the rainforest?? wow.. impressive!" saw the usual animals.. monkeys.. chickens.. sheeps.. goats.. too many..

i really hate this part of the tour.. NATURE WALK.. no offence to mother nature.. but there are just loads of bugs.. and mosquitoes.. and falling branches.. snake bites.. sometimes.. mother nature can be really merciless..we walked for like 30 minutes.. ok, i noe wat ur thinking.. so ya.. its only 30 minutes? that tiring?? oh ok.. for your information.. we are walking up the hill.. that is really tiring.. u can feel ur legs heavy and its like as if u can tumble down any minute.. my sis..oh ya.. i forgoten to mention that we sprayed our legs and arms with mosquitoe repellent.. my sis somehow was allergic to it and her leg was all swollen.. so i think to her this was a really bad experience to her..

after a long journey.. then we continue onwards with the tour.. its amazing when you are at the top of the mountain.. u can see batu niah straight ahead.. so near yet so far.. T.T then.. aha.. i love this part.. there was one of the places called the "sarawak pavilion" its more like a mini park.. and there u can see like a mini waterfall.. i heard wat my parents say its just rainwater.. but.. some of them said it was natural mineral water.. not sure.. but believe it or not.. to me i think its more like natural mineral water.. some people actually drank it.. and some people almost bath in it.. there are like also little fishy in the waterfall..and prawns too.. there were ants there all right.. but this one is so huge..!! u noe the normal ants u see at home? this one is 20 times bigger its size.. i was actually like washing my hand than this ant came crawling up my hand.. i was so freaked out that i cant scream.. i was so scared that it might bit me.. who noes?? this ant is friendly.. according to the guider.. this ant is harmless.. *phew*

ah yes.. then there is the natural water fall...i thought of jump in and swim .. but u noe how deep it is?? its like 20 feet! normal swimming pools are like less than 10 feet.. but i think this is kinda too much.. and again there is nature walk.. gah.. 900m walk from the rainforest to the resort.. wat a relief.. the tour is like finally over..

one more thing.. there is a cafe there.. and its situated at the mountain.. its like just a few metres away from our room.. and its like u have to climb up the mountain to eat.. oh.. i really hated that.. its made me feel like another tour.. everyone was panting when they reached the cafe.. the food is so damn delicious.. to me i think climbing the mountain was really worth it! they have mash potatoes.. bbq.. all kinds of food..

our room.. its so nice.. and ya its kinda squeazzy for 5 humans.. its like a big room.. made of wood.. and its like near the lake .. its so beautiful and i just dunno how to describe it.. oh ya.. from engkabang we moved to merbau.. next morning i was freezing.. i noticed i didnt had my blanket on when i slept and my sis who is sleeping next to me took it all.. so apparently i had a really bad cold that morning.. and when i get cold.. things get ugly.. so we went to eat again.. oh ya.. another mountain climbing.. and then we went fishing.. caught loads of fish then we threw it back into the pond again.. then we went back home.. whee.. wat a relief.. then home sweet home..

there are just too many things going on there.. if u are on of those types who cant stand bugs or not that kind of 'fit people" note to self.. not advisable to go there.. ^^
