Hiking Gunung Murud. Why not? Truth be told, I have become less confident in engaging hiking activities on my own resulting rejection of some opportunities that came my way last year. Also, my health issue requires active outdoor participation. When I signed up for the hiking trip, it was merely to boost my confidence level […]

Through travel, we put aside our differences and exchange stories of how we discover out-of-comfort-zone destinations. We shared the laughter with the church group who hiked the Prayer Mountain. At first, it did not cross my mind that the group would be doing spiritual activity on top of the mountain. Listening to their stories made […]

Later in the afternoon, Auntie Lucy received a group of guests who were church friends of Auntie Lucy’s sister, Lilian Bulan-Dorai. The purpose of their visit to Bario was pilgrimage.

On our third day of Tsdayout Special Edition : Selangor Meets Sarawak, we were brought to Semenggoh Wildlife Centre for orang utan watching, went kayaking at Semadang, Padawan and had dinner at Sarakraf Pavilion, Kuching. Introduction to Semenggoh Wildlife Centre For over 30 years, Semenggoh’s staff have trained young orangutans, who had been orphaned or […]

While exploring Mulu caves a year ago, I remember being convinced by my friends from STB, Michael and Angela, to visit Kuching’s very own caves, Fairy Cave and Wind Cave for its beautiful cave system. I finally had the chance on this Tsdayout Special Edition : Selangor Meets Sarawak to explore these two caves. I […]

Homestay Telaga Air How does it feel to stay at a homestay in Sarawak? I found my answer at Homestay Telaga Air. Telaga Air, 30km from Kuching City is one of the first homestay in Sarawak. It is a Malay Fishing Village with a lot to offer ranging from open sea fishing to cultural activities. […]
