"...My lips like sugar" this is how my day started. My phone ringing at 6 am to wake me up for the family's NIAH CAVE trip! =) The whole family was excited as this was trying to be planned for so long now but things and people keep coming up to delay this. We went out the house at 7-ish am. Everyone was at high spirit and excited. Except for my mom. heehee. So we were on the road then, stopped at Miri's market first to change money and stopped at a restaurant along the way to have some brunch ;) We were on the road after that singing "....
Estare contigo cuando triste estar, I'll be there befor the teardrop falls" haha. Old school! We didnt know the exact road otw to Niah, but we do know the vague road. We were going on circles when we reached the Niah town, turned out we weren't suppose to go reach the town. So we asked directions. Oh btw, what is up with man and asking directions eh? sheesh.
So we reach there around 1130-ish. We were hyped and ready. Mom was pretty scared riding the boat. lols. But it was just a short ride. So we started the track just talking and laughing. It was really nice. The jungle and its loud voice a.k.a insect buzzing, birds humming, wild animals, you know all that shebang. :P We were all talking and laughing. Its always like this on a family outing. Mom with her usual over-protective attitude which just provoke my lil brother to do mischief. lols. naughty naughty. The trees, butterfly, plants, just the scenery all was just pleasing. We didnt really notice the time passing by. :)
The caves were wonderful. But I don't like the smell of the guanos. I can barely stand it. But despite that, the structures, formations, the scenery were awe-inspiring. Me and my brother were like climbing on the structures and taking pictures. =) When we entered the 2nd cave where the archeological site is, we left my mom to the "house" there before we continued to the dark and very smelly path inside the cave. So I, Dad, Sis, and bro went further inside the caves. It was dark.... real dark. And we keep climbing up and down. Now that was tiring. So we walked and climbed till we reached the painting cave. Which by then we were long-winded. Haha. Especially my bro and sis. I was tired, but I was still hyped. I called them slowpokes :P
So we went back for mom and went back. There's some people who we met. Some chicks from Sibu and some guys from too. We even took pictures with the Sibu chicks. ;) Anyways. Amazingly I was still hyped though I was really tired at the end of the trail. We were so thrilled that we survived. haha. exaggeration. Anyways we tidied ourselves and we were so hungry and tired. haha. We passed by Parkson to eat at Secret Recipe. Daymn the Chicken chop tasted so nice. And that chocolate banana cake was oh-so-niiiceeee and just downright sinful. haha. Arrived back around 930-ish with body-aching but with satisfied... errhh lets just say I was really satisfied. Here are some pics from the trip!
