2009 - 11月 两天一夜的Kundasang之旅

沙大钟灵同学会举办了两天一夜的Kundasang之旅， 共有二十人参与。Kundasang位于神山山麓，气候凉爽，景色宜人。那里除了是神山的所在地之外，也还有很多别具特色的旅游景点，比如：位于Poring的温泉和瀑布、京那巴鲁国家公园、沙巴纪念城堡、草莓公园和牛奶农场等。这些景点我们都一一地将它们玩完！此次旅游我们所住的地方也相当理想，我们还在那里边吃火锅边烤肉呢！尤为难忘的是，大伙儿在农场喝完那里新鲜出炉的牛奶后，竟然都“三顾茅厕”！

2009- September 两天一夜的Kelly Bay 休闲之旅

9月- 趁着期中休假, 沙巴大学钟灵同学会特别为大学一年级生举办了两天一夜的Kelly Bay 休闲之旅。Kelly Bay 是一个具有明媚风光及美丽沙滩的小岛。大伙儿在岛上度过了难忘的两天， 所进行的活动包括乘香蕉汽艇、划船等等。此外，大伙儿也一起参与了一系列好玩又刺激的活动，如冒险之旅、冲浪、营火会，最为难忘的莫过于有惊无险的鳄鱼场之旅。在鳄鱼场内，大伙儿除了欣赏鳄鱼表演、参观各品种的鳄鱼之余，也有机会看到各种类型的动物，如骆驼，鸵鸟、水獭、花鹿和刺猬等。这一趟旅程相信让同学们获益良多，更使大家对沙巴迷人的天然美景惊叹不已。

五月九号十号, 沙大钟灵同学会, 去了两天一夜的KudaT。这次的参赛者竟然爆满, 40位, 拿了一辆冷气旅游巴士, 载完各kaMpong的人后就朝向目的地出发了.我们首站是TiP of BorNeo, 也就是位于沙巴最北部的一个地方.整个路途大约近4小时. 一路上没有高楼大厦, 只有绿油油的草原与一座座的山丘.当天的气候还蛮闷热, 一路上没有风, 还好我们乘坐的是冷气巴士.但, 不幸的是, 冷气机坏了.弄到大家都有点脸臭臭=(.巴士穿过无数的山丘,经过了弯弯曲曲的山路后, 终于来到了.好美的海景噢, 好辽阔的天空, 真的很美很美噢。

大家来到了后, 就立刻拔出自己的’枪’-照相机, 拼命地’扫射’-拍照. 这里的风景真的吸引人.当我一下车, 深深的吸了一口新鲜的空气, 身上的疲惫也顿时消失.这里有好多人来观光, 我还看到有一团由老师带领的学生旅行团到来这里游玩 ,还有不少的外国游客呢. 在这里你可以享受到大自然的美丽与奥妙, 蔚蓝的天空, 辽阔无境的海洋, 颗颗巨大的石头, , 滔滔不绝地海浪, 真是配得天衣无缝.我们在这里拍了很多漂亮的照片,也不禁地大吸几口清新凉爽的空气, 使到整个人也显得龙马精神,心旷神怡. 大家在这里呆了约1小时多, 时间来到约6点出, 由于我们搞笑的司机说他不大熟悉晚上的路, 所以我们在还未看到日落黄昏的美景时, 就离开,向大自然告别了。

我们带着依依不舍之情, 继续我们的下一站, 也就是RunGuS长屋, 我们期待已久的地方, 想看看到底所谓的长屋, 是怎么样子的?会不会像课本上所了解的等等, 满怀好奇与期待的向目的地朝去.天色渐渐地已暗, 路旁又没有路灯,我们开始有点紧张怕找不到,忐忑不安 .刚好这时,长屋的负责人开始打个电话过来问问我们现在哪儿, 我们就跟他确定我们的路线.还好我们走对路, 负责人叫我们顺着继续走进去就到了。

天已暗了，我们也终于抵达了。长屋负责人很热情地招待我们.我们安顿好后，先洗个澡休息，一边休息， 就一边等着我们的晚餐。有的就在歇息，有的就四处看看，有的就聊天， 也有的就在‘增进感情’。长屋看起来嘛就是长长的屋子咯，只不过整个长屋都是用木和竹来建造的， 没有洋灰，没有铁枝；没有光明的灯火，只有古老的油灯，一排长长的长屋有大约10间的房间，每一间房都能容纳3个人。房间也没什么特别，就只有三张床。

晚餐时间来得还蛮迟，8点左右， 大家都等到快饿死了。我们看到食物都快要排好好后，终于忍不住彼此的食欲，也放下了各自的形象，不管这么多就为这晚餐开幕了。哇，这顿餐还不错，看外观，我还以为他们的食物会有点逊，结果显示---没有！Ho Chak!!!大家都很开心地享用这丰富的---土著餐。 吃饱大家就四处散步走走，由于天色已暗，那里又不像酒店或城市这样万家灯火， 四周都是黑漆漆的， 灯光又不足（没有TNB的灯）， 只有传统的油灯，所以我们也不敢四处乱跑。负责人告诉我们待会儿过了晚餐后，会有传统土著表演秀， 要求大家一同观赏。

表演开始，大家乖乖地入座。负责人， 也就是ketua， 为我们讲解有关表演的历史由来。 仿佛就像上了一堂历史课。表演秀有多项的节目，有传统音乐秀，与舞蹈， 更好玩更精彩的是那Tarian Magunatip。这支舞蹈是由四至六个人敲打和移动竹竿，舞蹈者须跟着节奏起伏，在竹竿的缝隙之间跳动。稍微不慎则被被竹竿夹住双脚。 大家以轻松愉快的心情来欣赏每一个表演。 在整个表演秀要结束之前，我们受邀请上台跟他们一起跳舞，大家都很投入而且都玩得很开心。表演结束后，就自由活动。看到有些就入房找周公，有的就围在一起‘做数学’---赌博，有些堆在一起讲废话，一样有些就在进行‘二人世界’， 有的就在联络感情。 我，比较厉害，什么都不是，我约了一个siao kia（伟哥）去向长屋的老大讨他们土著自制的米酒来试试。他很客气的说：没问题，就给了我们三支去品尝，但他却我们别一口气就把它给灌玩，因为这样会很快就倒，要慢慢去欣赏。哈哈，就这样，今晚又多了一个‘特别节目’。我们就拿着三支米酒，一间一间给人去试。

我还蛮迟才睡，约凌晨2点，因为要确保大家都能舒服地入睡。隔天不必闹钟，就能自动醒过来，因为这里用的是自然闹钟---鸡啼声。早晨的空气特别地清新， 天亮了，看到是四周都是片片森林与山。 在等待准备早餐当儿，我们就先各自收拾自己的行李，因为吃过了早餐过我们就要出发离开，往下一个目标前进了。负责人准备蛮丰富的食物给我们， 还不错他们准备的。ByEBYE和一句谢谢后，我们就离开了。下一个站，我们来到了Gong Village. 这里收藏了许多自造的铜锣---Gong， 而且这整个村都是制造铜锣为业。我们在这里还能亲眼看到的制造过程。拍照留念后，我们又赶着下一站。

来到了Bee Farm， 当然没有错过那天然的蜜糖啦。那儿的负责人带我们进入养蜜场， 跟我们讲解有关蜜糖的讯息， 还给我们品尝天然的蜜糖呢。 一沾到蜜糖，个个都说好甜哦。品尝后，我们在临走前还买了蜜糖回家乡当做手信呢。高高兴兴地，我们又向鸵鸟场朝去。鸵鸟场。来到这里。我们不仅可以看，还可以骑鸵鸟呢！ 可惜就是没鸵鸟肉可以吃了=(.这鸵鸟场还蛮阔大， 有建在靠海边，所以，不会说很热。原来鸵鸟的速度可以达到80km/hour咧。kAnA Si peH快咧。

最后，我们来到了鳄鱼场，Crocodile Farm。 大家买了一张四块钱的票后就进去观赏鳄鱼秀和其他动物，还有文化表演等。我们带在这里约半个小时。 我，本人没带Matrix Card出来，所以我只好在外面等待，不想买那么贵的票进去。听说里面还蛮刺激的，有的看表演之外，还可以喂鱼， 试穿传统土著服装，更可怕的是里面竟藏着一只具有杀伤力强的鳄鱼，这只鳄鱼还有杀过人的记录呢。有去看的人都毛骨悚然。怕怕~这里是我们的最后一个地点，之后，看完表演后，我们就踏上归途，回各自的kaMpOng了，也同时代表说，这次的2天1夜游已经画上圆点了。谢谢各位的参与与向来的支持，尤其是我们目前最佳支持者，伟强。

每一次的外出， 都给我不同的体会。虽说从去车程约3小时多，但对某些人来说会是闷， 想睡，但对我而言却是精彩的。沿着漫长的公路驶去，路旁都是青青绿绿的草树， 给我的感觉是我已远离了那繁华的城市，去了一个遥远的地方。身在大自然的怀中，压力与心里的不悦也渐渐地随着消失。来到了，我深受更多。无边无境的海洋，蓝蓝的天空，猛烈的太阳，以及那一波波的海浪，真令我陶醉在其中。这里的风景，海景，真的很大自然，很漂亮。可惜，好景不长在。 美丽的东西只是那么的一下下。错过了就没有了。教训是：珍惜；珍惜一切你所拥有的；珍惜你想得到的。不要到了失去以后，还想再拥有。

长屋，简陋但土著们都住得很开心。富丽堂皇的大楼房，里面的人个个都未必能住得开心。不管是传统简陋的长屋，或是豪华公寓，只要我们是开心自足，住哪里都是开心的。看到土著们每天都过着简简单单的生活,对生活也没有太大的苛求, 平庸的生活: 有饭吃, 有地方住,有收获就满足了.开心伤心只是在一线之差.我们往往会有种种理由去让自己伤心，却没有以种种原因来让自己开心。生活，应该就是这么简单，开心就好，开心就是人生一大幸福。

我，在此祝各位沙大钟灵同学会的朋友们。假期快乐。感谢各位的参与。

Mount Kinabalu Climb !!!

“Glove, got! Six t-shirt, got! Chocolate got! …”

Early in the morning of 22 Novemeber 2008 (Sat), I woke up around 4 am and rechecked what I need to bring along for my battle, The Battle to Reach the Top of Mt Kinabalu. Then together with my friends from Indah Permai, we waited at the bus sop. It was raining and it made me anxious that at Mt Kinanbalu also raining and we will not allow climbing. The bus was late and made Beng Hin to call him a lot of time. Oh, the driver could not wake up…

Although we reached the Mesilau later than we expected (around 9am), Beng Hin and the others quickly settled the registration for all the 24 Fighters. We all got a name tag with our name on it and a number. Besides, we also had given the lunch pack which consisted of egg, two sausages, sandwich, fried chicken wing and a bottle of mineral water. Although we should some how happy as we were given food, but most of us felt that the lunch pack was an extra burden for us. Heavy bah!

With that we started our journey to the enemy base, the Mt Kinabalu peak, Low’s Peak. As the troop was guided by three guides, the most experienced guide was at the back of 24 people. For all of us, our first target was to reach Laban Rata before 5pm to have our buffet dinner. However for the starting of the journey, there was a few of the Fighters started to feel not well. Maybe they could not adapt to the change of atmosphere or the pressure they felt or… A lot of maybe but important there were people accompany others, took care of each others, gave support and encouraged each other to take one more step forward and get nearer to Laban Rata.

On the journey, 24 Fighters became in three or more groups as the speed and stamina for different people were different. Beng Hin and I were at the back of all people to make sure everyone can at least reach Laban Rata. On the way up, there was rain. We wore our raincoat. At the start, I also wore my yellow raincoat but very soon I took off the raincoat as I felt very uncomfortable and sticky. I changed to umbrella. Umbrella during hiking?! Cannot imagine, right? This also was my response when I listened to the tip given by my course mate, Hui Pin, who managed to reach the peak of Mt. Kinabalu. However, can’t deny, I felt taking umbrella is better than wearing raincoat. Besides, all the guides were using umbrella too.

On the way, there were a lot of pondok (rest point) and we will very happy to see one in front of us as we can rest for awhile, recharge, and drink and eat. But we knew that we cannot rest too much as we will become more tired and lazy to continue our journey. I noticed that we, the group at the last were farer and farer to the group at the front. So we walked and climbed faster and finally at the pondok, we met the group in front of us. Once we sat down, the front group started to move. It happened for many pondok.

5 in the afternoon already, we were still far from Laban Rata. A lot of us were became exhausted and discouraged and wanted to give up. However a few of us kept encourage and gave support to them to move forward. Moving upward a mountain for more than 7 hours really was the first time. 2 more hours the buffet dinner will finish. Besides we heard from the guide said that the first group already reached the Laban Rata.

Finally we reached Laban Rata at 9 in the night. We took our packed dinner pack as the buffet finished already and quickly went to sleep. Just 4 more hours then we need to wake up and climb again.

We woke up 1.30am and went to gather. We ate some biscuit and listened to a short briefing then the journey continued. Just 18 people still wanted to challenge the Summit Trail. At the beginning of the journey, we just climbed stairs with slow pace as there were a lot of people hence it like traffic jam. After the stairs, we started to experience different type of challenge. We started to use rope to climb in the dark and with only our torch light, slippery path, cold and lack of air. We all almost on our own pace and own our own ,as around me, there was no one that I knew.

As the cool, heavy and tiring body of mine was trying it best to take one more step ahead and nearer to the top of Mt Kinabalu, some already reached the top and some still behind me. The thought of “why paying so much (RM 330) to torture myself?” kept popping up. But I knew that I must reach the peak no matter what.

YIPEE!! I finally reached the Low’s Peak and there already had a lot of people. Everyone was busy taking photograph with the Low’s Peak sign board. The sunrise was what we were rushed for but that moment, at the peak we just saw a lot of cloud and couldn’t saw the sunrise. Some of us already felt very cold and ask to continue the journey back to Laban Rata. Hence, we quickly took a group photo.

For me, I suddenly felt very tired on the journey back to Laban Rata. Tired and low in energy were what I felt. I sat down and took some glucose drink prepared from my friends and ate some Tiger biscuit. After a short rest, five of us continued. As I still lacked of energy, hence a few steps I took, I stopped for awhile. With the slow and unsteady steps, I finally reached Laban Rata around 10am. The journey down from the peak was harder for me compare to climb up to the peak as my feet and knee needed to absorb a lot of pressure.

At Laban Rata, we all took our breakfast, and took a rest then we were being instructed to start going down from Laban Rata to Tempohon Gate. The Tempohon trail was filled with stairs, not so well built stairs. Again, my knee needed to work hard. The path was rocks, mud and seldom have pavement. The path was also river as that time the rain was heavy. With the journey started at around 11am, we all reached the Tempohon at 3pm. We quickly on boarded our school bus and headed to the Kinabalu park to take our Buffet Lunch at 3.30pm.

That buffet, we ate a lot as a lot choices available for us to choose from. We enjoyed the buffet to the fullest and we prepared to go back to UMS. In the bus, we get two certificates for those that reached the top and one for those that reached Laban Rata. All felt asleep in the way back to UMS and woke up at Kingfisher when we were needed to change school bus with Labuan trip (also organized by the UMS Chung Ling Ex-student Club) people.

The whole battle with Mount Kinabalu was a new challenge and experience for me. At that time, I thought that I will never try it again to climb the Mt Kinabalu. But now, I have the desire to experience once more! For those that haven’t tried it before should train oneself and give it a try.

What a Experience in Rafting 2008!!!

Today I go for rafting, organized by Chung Ling`s Ex-students Club, it is really an enjoyable, adventurous and unforgettable experience for me.(Although tired after back, hehe..).Actually I miss this time “exploration” already, but finally during (24-09-2008), my friends, Pei Zhi and Eric told me about this trip and invite me go together. Luckily, I still can join in and go.

We start go to Tenom by using “White Water Rafting Specialist” Bus from UMS at 7.30am. Along the journey, we go across Crocker Range and after 3 hours we reach at Tenom town. After that, we get a chance to proceed to Pangi by train. This is my first time using the traditional train, really a nice experience for me. Then, we reach at the starting point of the rafting activities. We provided by equipment and then safety briefing is given by river guide and the rafting commence.

The 30km white water rafting is started. Along the Padas River, there are many rapids. We need to paddle hard when go across the rapids. Thanks that my raft not over turn (as this is the spirit of teamwork shown by my teammates on the raft, thanks you all). Some of the rafts are turn over when meet the rapids and the rafters on the raft all are fall into the river. At the calm water, some of us pushed or pulled by others to go into the rivers, but we are enjoying that.

After 9th kilometer journey(which already covers seven classes III-IV), we take lunch and rest at Rayoh Station. Then, we continue the journey down the majestic rainforest of Borneo. I really can feel the natural surrounding along the 30km journey of rafting. It is really a fantastic experience. Finally we reached at the endpoint, Halogilat and then speedboats to Beaufort town.

Because we are finished our rafting late, we need to go along the river in dark. I am THANKS TO GOD that all of us come back to UMS in safety. By here, I really enjoy this trip. I hope I still can join the trips or activities that organized by UMS Chung Ling Ex-students Club again. (If it is still also open to non Chung Ling Ex-students la.., haha.., hope so…) Erm.., I also appreciate this chance for me to join the trip with my friends them (Eric, Pei Zhi, Kah Wah, Guan Wei, Tee Kheng), although I am not come from Penang, not the Ex-student of Chung Ling High School, but this trip are open to non Chung Ling Ex-students make me can have this opportunity.

Hey guys, especially to Eric, Pei Zhi, Kah Wah, Guan Wei, and Tee Kheng, remember the motto, “Paddle Or Die” ? We finally paddle hard when crossing “fierce” rapids, and now we already are the Padas River`s Raft Master, yeah…..Thanks you all guys, to bring the best and enjoy experience to me (after come to UMS 3 months), Thanks!!!

两天一夜LABUAN 游 (22-23/11/08)

连绵的大雨，还是阻挡不了我们的去路。由韦杰与甲华一同举办的两天一夜的Labuan Trip， 一共率领了45个参与者，坐船过海游玩。由于当天早上还下着大雨， 所以在时间安排上出了小毛病。但，我们还是能安全地准时抵达码头。点了名，交齐了报名费， 吃了早点后， 在7.30am左右，我们就浩浩荡荡地出发了。 那码头还蛮美下，加上天空还下着绵绵小雨，阵阵的凉风不禁让我抖了一两下。 由于前几天都豪雨不停地下， 以致那海浪还蛮大， 那架快艇也左右地晃。我们就小心地，步入快艇里。







嘟。。。。 我们乘坐的快艇终于在出发了。整个路程大约三个小时。 有的就在船里聊， 有的就看电视，有的就睡觉！（我本人， 哈哈， 累了嘛）。 不知不觉，大约中午，我们就抵达了目的地~Labuan。 呆了三小时的船， 晃了三小时，屁股都快要麻痹了， 我们就赶快地离开。由于巴士还没到，所以大家都在码头那儿等候。巴士先载我们向往酒店注册。享用午餐后，我们就开始一整天的旅程。司机先把我们载到Labuan Marine Museum. 海洋博物馆里有各种各样的海洋生物，珊瑚，龙虾，海星，以及 不同品种的鱼类。整个海洋博物馆都显得很壮观， 很美。下一站，我们就去了，Labuan War Cemetery。 我们在那儿逗留约五分钟后，就接着去另一个景点。








我们来到了Chimney, 那里有一座32.5m高的塔。我们在那儿拍了蛮多张的照片。







过后，我们就去了飞禽公园， Labuan Bird Park。那飞禽公园很大，里面有好多好多种鸟类，风景也不错，还有鸵鸟呢！这里有个特别点就是来参观的人都能够近距离的看到那些鸟类，在你头上飞来飞去， 不过要小心的是，你可以随时中炸弹 （鸟屎）！只见大家都纷纷拿起照相机东拍西拍， 不要错过精彩又美丽的画面。我们在那儿约半个小时，除了有的看各种鸟类，那里还有一个博物馆，里面藏着鸟类的标本等等。拍完照片留念后，我们就继续我们的旅途。






过后，我们去了海滩！刺激！Manikah Beach 真是一个好去处，又洁白又长的沙滩，无尽大海，阵阵地海风，蔚蓝的天空， 加上一波接一波的浪，真叫人流连忘返。 大家来到这里，都有一种抛开烦恼， 尽情享受地的心情。远离学园生活，课业考试压力，来到了这里，我仿佛‘轻’了许多。有的来到沙滩，就犹如回到家乡般那么喜悦，和一堆朋友在海边戏水。有的就躺在树下，聆听大海与大自然的欢呼。有些就在沙滩东挖西找地捡贝壳。而我呢，就和一班朋友沿着海边漫步聊天， 有的就趁着这美好的良机跟另一伴拍拖！有的就跑去吃！当时，我们去的时候，是刚好黄昏，所以整个海景都很美。








告别那美丽的Manikah Beach 后，我们就逗一逗Surrender Point。 接着，我们就朝向UMS KAL 。 这里的风景也蛮不错，大学前面就是一望无际的蓝海， 这里的空气也很清新，还有那舒畅无比的海风。我在想，就读在里面的大学生是多么的幸福啊。一上完课放学或面对压力的大学生就可以走到对面的海边， 放松自己，是多么的好啊！由于我们没有向这里的管理层告知我们的到访，所以我们活动范围只限在大厅内。

拍完照后，我们就继续我们今天的最后一个地方，叫Patau-Patau Water Village。一路上，我们还经过Ban San Miao Chinese Temple， 这间庙是整个Labuan最大最壮观的一间。 当巴士经过时，我看到那座庙约有四层楼高，那时又靠近傍晚的时候，灯光都开始亮起，显得更富丽堂皇。大概十分钟后，我们到了海上乡村， 那时天色已渐渐地暗下来了，有许多的家都以把门关上休息了，所以我们没有机会去看个究竟。 这里的人休息的时间还真的很早，可能是因为没有什么娱乐吧！绕完一圈后，就代表说今天的旅程已近尾声了。

巴士把我们送回酒店后，接下来的也没什么活动了，就自由活动。有的就干脆回房休息。 有的就去找晚餐，有的就要去Financial Park 购物（酒，巧克力）。 男士们就整大堆地去买酒，以作为今晚活动之用途， 女士们就发挥她们的本性----购物狂。回到酒店，那些酒鬼就开始他们的饮酒派对，有几个你可以看到他们都喝到红润润。

第二天，也没有什么好去处了，因为整个Labuan都走到七七八八了。这粒岛太小了，昨天一天就走完了。 所以，我们最终还是去了Financial Park 购物， 买烟买酒买巧克力，买回家送给家人朋友。 下午约二时，我们已开始集合在码头，准备乘坐快艇回沙巴。大家都在为最后一分钟而拼命的去买酒买巧克力，东往西找最便宜的价格。 过后，时间也差不多了，我们就跟着秩序地排队坐快艇， 离别了这购物天堂。












又是三小时的船， 我看到有些人一坐下就立刻踩油会见周公了，可能是昨晚灌太多或太累了吧。有些就在分享彼此买了什么。 嘟。。。 的一声后，我们乘坐的快艇已慢慢地离开这个岛， 也是时候对《它》说拜拜了。 在船里，我们也不多话，大家都在歇息。 抵达码头Jesselton Point的时候，我们就来一个全体照作纪念。 之后，我们就离开回家了。






特此，我谨代表这次Labuan Trip的队长，向所有出席参与我们的活动的朋友，说声《谢谢》。 有了你们的参与，才能使到这次的活动能够圆满结束。 你们的参与， 使到这次的路程增添更多色彩， 更迈向高峰！ 若这次的活动办得不大妥，或有不足的地方，请各位多多包涵。 若有得罪到任何人， 本人在此想你说：抱歉！

本人，我，在这次的活动获益良多。 学到的是如何更能完善地办好一个项目，以及如何让每个项目都能顺利地进行。我还学到其实生活有时也要休息，让自己充电下， 别逼得自己太紧，这样只能弄巧反拙。 沟通也是一门学问，经过这次， 我能更了解我身边的人， 更珍惜身边的每个每个，包括《你》。。。

Rafting 2008

在九月二十八号的那一天，沙大钟灵同学会举办了Padas 激流泛舟。那天早晨，我带着紧张又期待的心情去等巴士。那天天气还算不错，风和日丽，坐在巴士上的我，也不禁地陶醉于大自然当中。 沙巴的环境，真的是“赞”！ 整个路程大约三个小时半巴士先会把我们载到Tenom市镇。一路上，我就坐在巴士里歇息，不过休息一会儿后我觉得来到沙巴,坐在巴士里睡觉的话好像没什么意义。结果我决定享受与观察四周。巴士穿过了一座座小山丘，也穿过了市镇与乡村。当巴士穿越小山丘，看见绿油油的草原与一棵棵高大耸立的树木，茂密深厚的森林时，我深受得到，那花花草草，树木叶子，在风吹之下，在狂舞，像是在迎接我们的到来。另一方面，当巴士穿过乡间小镇与时，我感触很多。看见小镇里的人， 个个都似乎很忙碌， 很多人，车辆也较多。不过，当巴士经过乡间时，我看到他们的住家，他们的生活，令我感到十分惭愧。从出生到现在，一直都住在城市的我，样样齐全，应有尽有的环境里，我还在埋怨，怪这个，挑剔那个。不知自己已活在幸福当中。他们住在简陋的木屋里，被大自然围绕着，过着悠闲的生活，得空就上山玩水。所以当我看到他们时，只见个个都望着我们，露出灿烂的微笑。这里乡村的人较简单，没像住在城市里的人，勾心斗角，也没有像城市那么竞争。



就这里看那里看，不知不觉，我就来到了Pangi火车站。火车会把我们送到聚集地， 也就是我们要去玩的地方。负责人就吩咐我们先把衣服换上，而且把身上贵重的东西留下，放进书包，然后巴士会把我们的书包载到活动完毕后的聚集地。 第一次坐火车的我， 带着战战兢兢的心情，进了火车站。啊！原来它的火车是这样子“丑”的！跟我从书面与电影看到的不一样。我所知道的火车是有盖的！但这里却不同，露天的。我坐在一块大铁板上。铁板四周没什么东西围绕或盖着。那时我在想我的生命是不是来到这里就画上了句点呢？火车就快开了，每个乘客都纷纷涌上来，有的还从镇里买了些日常用品，货物等，所以还蛮拥挤，我找到了一个位子，就里坐下来，心里就不停地向老天爷保佑，保佑我能顺顺利利搭过这一程。火车开始走时，起初还有点怕，不过过了阵子后，就没事了。这火车路程近半个小时，路途可以看到一家家的小木屋，大大的石头，大大条的河流， 又有阵阵的凉风吹等等，感觉只有一个字“爽”到。。。 不久后，我们就抵达了目的地。在活动还没开始进行之前，负责人与救生员先自我介绍和讲解。同时也告诉我们安全措施， 及如何划得过瘾。 分好队伍后，我们就跟随着我们的救生员上舟。Padas激流泛舟，就这样开始了。







全程大约二十公里左右，救生员告诉我们，第一阶段是先划约九公里，过后会来到休息站，也就是我们即将享用午餐的地方。吃东西休息下，过后再继续划到终点。开始时，我觉得还有点怕，怕说碰见大浪时会不会翻？会不会掉入河里？过后，安顿一会儿后，我开始觉得还蛮刺激下。每当我们来到大浪的时候，救生员会叫我们做这个，保持那个。我们只是服从他的指示。当我们看到前面即将有浪时，我们都显得很刺激，很迫不及待的想冲破那个浪，又很想弄到翻舟。冲破一次又一次的浪后，我们就开始累了，也开始懂得原来最好玩和刺激的地方，就是在你遇到大浪的时候。 划了约九公里后，我们就停在一个地方歇息，享用午餐。在用餐的时候，负责人把刚刚所录下的片段放进电视机里播出来。就觉得，他们用勇敢，冒着生命危险去拍摄， 他们的精神是值得我们去钦佩的。 其实他们所准备的东西还不错，大家都吃得津津有味，可能大家刚刚消耗太多力，现在补回吧！




吃饱，休息后，又继续下河划舟。由于刚吃饱，所以大家都显得有精神，向前冲破巨浪。 每次向着浪划， 仿佛在跟面前的浪在挑战，心里都在想：我定能成功冲破它！能！我定能！（但也得靠其他队友的合作与救生员的操控）。 每当我们冲破一次又一次的浪时，心里就觉得很喜悦，很高兴，但（有点不爽，）因为一直都没机会泛舟。来到了，一个较平静的河时，救生员就兴起一项水上比赛，Last Man Standing, 我们这几艘舟都会在合上打拼，开始了河上大战！游戏玩法就是不可让自己舟的队友们被拉或拖下水。我们商讨后，决定协力保护对方，也同时要打败敌队。救生员们也参跟我们一起玩。救生员的力气还真大，我和其他队友费了九牛二虎之力，才能把他推下河，不然他有机可趁。 整个行程可说是又惊又喜，惊的是怕我们的队友会被拖下河，喜的是我们，只有拖人下河，却没人能够把我们其中一人给拖下。这是值得赞扬的！哈哈。不过，由于我太兴奋站起来欢呼，却没留意后面有人。结果“噗”的一声，我掉下河里，队友看到了都笑我，真是的！给人突击！整个过程你推我拉，看到每个成员都拼了老命挽回自己的队友，心里就在想：生活就像这样子，为了想达到你要的东西，你就必须做出奋斗， 永不放弃的实现你的目标。“要拼才会赢”！---人生可比是海上的波浪 ，有时起有时落 ，好运歹运， 总嘛要照起工来行,三分天注定， 七分靠打拼，《爱拼才会赢》。 当中，我们自己也有内乱，轮流一个个被抛下河，连女生也不放过！。 真是叫苦连天。。。





由于那天的河流和水流得不够急，所以我们没机会碰到更大，更刺激的浪，更没机会去翻。之前还没来的时候，学长们都说，来到这里没翻的话，就没意思了，因此，在我们再三要求之下，救生员也答应了满足我们。我们听救生员给的指示，一，二，三，整艘船就翻了。 这效果不佳， 因为是人造的，不是自然翻的。所以，还算可以罢了。一下子后，我们就到了终点， 也告诉我们今天的活动将结束了。来到了终点，我们下了舟，领回我们的鞋子，在石头上走一段路后，再乘 speedboat去到聚集地，也就是Beaufort Town.走在石头上，真的人辛苦，因为那里石头都很滑，一个不小心就会跌伤，真的痛到口叫妈妈！上了speedboat， 点数后，开始走了，那时，天色已暗了，星星也亮了，真个大自然也开始静了起来，唯有那些夜间出来的昆虫动物，开始它们的一天。坐在里speedboat的我，闭上眼睛去聆听与享受那大自然的声音。 平时听惯了城市的吵杂声，如今来到这里，是一个可以让我们暂时摆脱城市的压力，来到这世外桃源的地方，是很不错的一种解压方式。坐在那儿，我闭上眼睛，让阵阵的凉风，吹走我一切的不如意，吹走我一切的烦恼，的压力，的悲伤。此时，脑海不停地涌出很多东西。






人，其实可以很简单，也可以很复杂，简单的话就像这里住在小木屋的人，过着自由自在的生活。复杂的话，就像城市人，个个都戴着面具做人，明争暗斗， 日日夜夜也都在拼。这要看你，是否要选择《简单》或《复杂》。二， 人可以选择快乐过一生，或者悲伤烦恼一辈子。 高兴伤心都得过，为何要虐待自己选择伤心呢？你看那些住在这里的人，虽然住的很简陋，什么也没有，吃的穿的都不足，可是，你仍然可以从他们的脸上看到那灿烂的笑容。我觉得，这是值得我们，城市人该去学习的地方。 人， 是可以过得很快乐的！三，时间过得真快，第一学期近要圆满结束了，你看。这一天的活动都已到了一段落。可见，时间真的一去就不返。你看。我们坐在speedboat上时，似乎也在向大自然告别说拜拜了。看到的美景也随着时光慢慢地流逝了。好花不常开，好景不长在！在此，我奉劝各位：《为什么当花凋谢的时候，才懂得去欣赏花的美？为什么在失去已用， 在懂得珍惜的可贵？》-请珍惜你所拥有的一切！人，总会在生活上遇到障碍，不可能是风雨无阻的。面对难题时，就把它当作你面前的浪， 为了要继续安全地抵达终点，你必须勇敢向前迈进。每当我们碰上困难时，别放弃，要自我鼓励，《放弃者，永不成功。成功者，永不放弃》， 《如果我能，我一定要，如果我要， 我一定行！》










天空已渐渐的暗了下来，星星越来越亮了。speedboat里的人也不多话说，可能已劳累了一整天，大家只好坐着休息，望着天空数星星。当晚的天空真的很美，从小到大，我未曾一次过看到这么多又明亮的星星。它们闪着闪着，仿佛在跟我们微笑。　整片天空真的好美好美，可惜不能带摄影机，不然就能拍照留念。　抵达Beaufort Town后，换了肮脏的衣服后，拍照后，就乘巴士回家了。望着那片天空，看到一颗最美最亮的星星，　我知道是你，原来你一直都在我身边。。。　我爱你。

Trip to Kundasang (19 July till 20 July 2008, Weekend)

TRIP TO KUNDASANG

I considered myself very lucky enough as I have only reached for three weeks, I got a chance to visit Kundasang which is really a beautiful place. Before I start my journey, I felt that is nothing worth for me to visit a just isolated or a common mountain which is very far away from where I am staying. I have to leave all my works such as washing works, shopping and so on which are I think is more enjoyable than the visit. I felt a little of doubt when I first saw the bus which I have to travelled in it for roughly three hours.

But,once I started my journey, I feel enjoyable as I can have fun with my new friends who comes from different Chung Ling. They share their own experience and either I. I have learned something new from their experience which I can use it through out my university life. Especially from seniors, they shared their campus life. It is very precious as these types of experiences would not be taught in whatever lectures especially their technique of studying. All of these have made me feel confident to go through my future life in this place which I have never been to here.

When we reached the first market which the bus have stopped, I feel impressed as in this isolated place, there are still many people living in it. Besides that, I also impressed by the beautiful scenery which will never can be seen at others place. My friends enjoy buying the cap which looks very cute. We travelled for another 1 hour before we reached our destination. Once we reached, an alumni’s family is waiting there, welcoming our arrival. We check in a very old chalet which I have enjoyed my first ever trip in Sabah. We have our dinner after we prepared our dinner. The climate is really cold and some seniors said that we can see the peak of Mount. Kinabalu from there. But we just couldn’t see it. At that moment, I feel that is destiny…… I have a good and proper rest at there. I just enjoyed everything at there included coldness and the night view.

We also have a visit to Kundasang Park which is also a nice place. At there, we became closer to each others and I felt that friendship between us have been built. At least, I won’t feel some strangeness among us. After that, we also visited to a very famous place-Hot Spring. At there, I have tried many things that I have never attempted before. We hiked the mountain although for a little distance, I felt that we took care of each others especially the seniors who are always taking care of us. I also tried Canopy Walk at there and I feel very enjoyable walking through that path. Then, we started our journey to our hostel.

In the journey, seniors introduced some attractive place in Sabah. They also planned to have visits at there with us in semester break and others holidays. This makes me feel that I am not the only one at here in Sabah. They have shown us many pictures which they have taken in their trip to these places. Along the journey, we finally saw the most impressed scenery ever in my life-Mount. Kinabalu. It just looks like a big picture in front of you. I can saw clearly the waterfall in the mountain. All of us were like crazy and busy having some nice pictures as memory in our life. I really felt impressed bout that scene and it makes me willing to sacrifice my time to visit here once more time.

It is really a very good and memorable experience for us as well as for my friends. Through out this trip, the relationship among us and seniors became stronger. This makes me feels that I have many friends who can help me whenever I face any problems. At that day, I felt very happy and everything is on the right path. I feel confident enough to challenge my future life in this beautiful university which has born at the same day and month of my birthday. Besides that, when the time my principal said that CHUNG LING is our second home, I felt silly and funny. But now, at this place, at this moment, with these guys, I can really feel that………. This is all my experience. I would like to thank all my seniors and the alumni……

Episode 3....

The journey continued by going to the Pouring, the main attraction of this trip. At there, first we need to settle our small luggage by renting a locker which cost us RM 3.00 per locker. A lot of us shared the locker. Then we had problem with a lot of place want to go but with limited time as we need to depart and go back UMS before day dark. Starting we said want to make to groups which one group go waterfall first then go canopy walk and vice versa. However, we merged the group finally and had fun together. Firstly, we went to the waterfall.

Really…speechless and just felt very excited with the waterfall in front of me. I really love waterfall but you know in Penang, not so much waterfall we can find, right? I quickly took of my shirt and took a dip inside the crystal clear water.

The water was really cool but really refreshing. I just targeted the waterfall where the water fall. I know that the area below the water fall is really dangerous but Kok Khang told me there had stone for me to step on it. Then I was like the hero in the Hong Kong movie Wind and Cloud that train under the water pressure of the waterfall. Really like taking a strong message. Now I writing it, and felt like want to enjoy again. Some of them did not jump into the water as they scared their t-shirt become wet. But naughty me, I splashed water on them. Not so much right, for those that ‘kena’ from me. At the waterfall, again, we took a few very funny and nonsense photo which until attracted some ‘audience’ from around.

After the wet activity, we went to the canopy walk. The canopy walk started with climbing a moderate distance to the bridge. Then, we in a group of six started the canopy walk. The canopy walk is: we walk on a hanging bridge across the jungle. So we were a few metres high from the ground. You all know that Chung Ling guys afraid becoming boring. So of course they will swing and swing the bridge with full force until the group members scouted so loud that I from far away still can hear it. Ending the canopy walk means the ending of the trip. We changed our clothes then we on board the bas sekolah and departed.

However the ending of the trip not really began as we kept continuing the spirit in the bus. We stopped by the market and bought some stuff to take back UMS. For me, I bought salak ,which is a fruit that with the skin like snake. I treated them to eat it but I warn them first that do not try a large piece first as some will not able to accept the unique taste of it. I made a survey on the spot and really most of them can accept the taste however some really cannot accept it. Like what I predicted. On the other hand, Lip Fong recommended a type of keropok that has round in shape and taste like keropok ikan. It is a famous keropok in Sabah. Here, I will not write the name of the keropok as me and Lip Fong had argument about the name. So to prevent misleading or wrong information, find it out yourself by asking the Sabahan or whatever method. While eating, Lip Fong and me started to introduce our Club Annual Activities. Lip Fong showed them some of the interesting place with his laptop. The junior enjoyed a lot listen to what the activities that are coming and what in Sabah that awaited them. However, the scenery outside took away their attention which is the Mt. Kinabalu. I also want to take a better look of the Mt K. We stopped by and all of us were crazy to take photo. The waterfall, the rock , the tree…all can be seen clearly. Finally we took a group photo with th Mt.K. Really the best.

Our journey really came to the end by taking a dinner at 818 restaurant in Kingfisher. But the ending of the trip, I think, is the starting of our family bond. We all really enjoyed it especially myself really felt happy as can together with the new juniors and the seniors and my same batch friends. Long lost feeling was coming back that time. I believe we will have more and more fun again and again with you all!!!

Episode 2 : 40th Chung Ling World Carnival, Kundasang Workshop

Episode 2 ....

Then the fun really started. First we took a journey to Mesilau where we had some fun time there. As we were nearer to the destination, the air became cooler and cooler. It was really relaxing and smoothing when you took a deep breath in with the fresh and cool air. We went directly to the Mesilau Park entrance without stopping at any place. We took the bas sekolah and other people followed other Xue Zhang’s vehicle. When we reached there, we didn’t see anyone hence we call to ask other people. We called Beng Hin, but the reception at that altitude was really bad. Finally we were connected but at the same moment, we also knew that we missed some junction to get into some interesting place, the golf club. However we all got down from the bus and took a look around there as the scenery is really breath-taking and wonderful. The haze and the green forest made you felt like you were in the heaven. All of us took a walk around that area and the fun part was during all of us taking photos. We took a few very interesting photo that moment and already up loaded to share with you all. I felt really happy as I although is the 3^rd year senior who is the oldest at that time but we were really crazy together and made some crazy pose for the photo.

Then the van came with some other people inside. We, the bas sekolah people, had to walk up as we were too heavy and the bus could not ‘climb’ up the hill bringing we all these elephants. We reach the starting point of the Mt Kinabalu climbing. Actually nothing much there besides a few houses which for me is just a little different and just a little special. However we didn’t forget to take a group photo and the photo you will not find the senior, Kok Khang, as he ‘luan luan chau’ when we took the group photo.

Our next destination was to the Strawberry Farm to take our lunch. We had our lunch near a flower farm . The lunch to me, was really delicious and a lot to eat. So for those table that could not finish gave the food some table need more food. So considered is in the equilibrium. Hehe… After the lunch we took a tour to the flower farm. Something funny happened there was we being cheated ,eeerrr.., could not say really cheated that in the flower farm had Raffesial Flower. We being guided by Mr. Tony’s son to admire the Raffesial, the man made Raffesial. We laugh there and still took photo there together with the fake Raffesial. In the farm, a few of the guys bought roses including myself . What is the purpose of buying roses, some said buy for girlfriend, some denied and said buy for themselves and enjoy the beauty of the roses in their own room. Whatever lah!!!
