a trip to sarawak - summary

it's been a week since i last updated my blog, so sori for the MIA, hehe.. been.. up to somthing.

nevertheless, i'd like to end my "trip to sarwak" posts here. All in all, I'm very grateful tat God was there with us through out the trip. He answered our prayers. or at least, my prayers. =)

here are some of the answered prayers..

1. Flights: We had good weather during our flights. Even our flight from miri-kuching, it started raining when we starte descending. =)

2. Flights: Many people complained of airasia doesn't follow schedule. Late, delays, cancelled flights. We had 2 consecutive flights - airasia at 7.25-9.45am, then FAX at 11.30am. if airasia is delayed, even for an hour, we would not have made our FAX flight. all 5 flights we took were perfectly on time.

2. Garden of Eden: Tho' KY wanted to give up exploring the caves, she continued on.

3. Garden of Eden: When we went to garden of eden, unexpectantly we had 5 GUIDES (normally just 2)! & we needed them, coz ky & jo had some difficulties in the caves. Praise God he knew our needs before hand, and prepared the extra 3 guides for us. =)

4. camp 5: my fren told me tat on the way trekking to camp 5 at mulu national park, we're bound to get lotsa leeches. I didn't get any leech bite during the treks.

5. camp 5: i saw 2 hornbills!!

5. pinnacle climb: Our guide told us the day before the climb, tat if it rained at nite/morning, the climb is automatically cancelled. It rained heavily the nite before the climb. But early next morning, the weather was beautiful, & the supposedly-cancelled climb got the green light from the authority! a miracle. best of all, though it rained heavily/thunderstorm almost everyday at mulu, during our climb, there was no heavy rain at all - just drizzling & mist. The weather was wonderful!

6. climb pinnacles : Though climb was very very dangerous, all 6 of us participants reached the pinnacle & down the mountain, unhurt. How can it be possible? I thank God for his protection. =)

7. pinnacle climb: jun got exhausted even before we reached half the climb, and she became very pale & i worried. The guide asked her a few times, "Are you sure you want to continue this climb?" & guess what? she continued the climb, & Praise God, she finished the climb, all satisfied!

I knew tat all these were God's strength & grace...

9. Best of all, a big prayer of mine was answered in sarawak! this one i can't share with you. It's p&c. all in all, i truly loved this trip to mulu, more than any of my other trips - simply bcoz God was so real to us. amen. =)

AirAsia schedule is getting more punctual, they can't always have 3rd world country mindset all the time, otherwise they wouldn't have been survived till this far.

Not to advertise for them, but erm... whatever...
