The gang ^ ^ I am glad that there is a species in the world call MALE! >.< Who to blame? Should I blame myself is too active in this case? X.x

Biggest flower Rafflesia's seed ^ ^ First time in my life, although I'm not really that into it.

Dying Rafflesia. Not bad! At least I could estimate how big it used to be when it's still alive. Ha ha! But I forget to touch it >.< Next time should try to touch it!

Leech. My unlicensed guide is very observant.

Not bad :) The scene is quite peaceful and nice.

Ok! Done viewing not really important views. Now, it's time to conquer the mountain :)

The way up to Gunung Gading. Take a rest in Batu Apek (Direct translate from Chinese dialect) It calls Old man rock in English. Interesting isn't it? :D

The guys. They became kinda close to each other after hiking thought they never know each other before this!!! And I being neglected just because of I am FEMALE!!!

Finally, we were here. The peak! It's harder than expected. Perhaps we didn't have enough of sleep one day before.

The total trail distance is 3.8Km. I wish the receptionist read my post :P so that next time when people ask, he/she knows how to answer them ~ LOL!

Remember we called and asked the receptionist:" May I know how far for us to reach the peak? We're here 3.0Km."

The receptionist replied:" It's 900+ above sea level."

"Yes. I know it's 900+ above sea level, but may I know how far is the exact distance? How long it takes us to the peak?"

"It's 900+ above sea level ..." (I am sure that he/she repeated for several times that it's 900+ above sea level, he/she was not answering our question at all >.<)

"... thank you for your information" (Gave up!!!)

We manage to find out the answer :) The total distance is 3.8Km.

Yes~ It's time to enjoy the waterfall ~ The water fall 7 in Gunung Gading is kinda huge. Compare to Kubah's National Park's waterfall, I prefer here better. However, Serian Waterfall so far is the largest waterfall in Kuching.

At first didn't want to play the water, since I am the only girl, plus they didn't provide wash room in the jungle. But ... I just can't resist the temptation :D Enjoy first ~~ :P My style ~ Ha ha ha!
