Trip to Penajam and Batu Kajang - The Caves and Waterfalls (Part 2)




This is where Maliq saw "something" :D




Girls climbing up!













posed with the locals that helped us climbing up


pretty creepy eh 








our hands after climbing up and down, Erry literally crawled down lol look at her dirty hands! 



the boat trip to Mangkulangit, the cave






our little guide + cruiser, cute bros 



the bathing woman, I used to (have to) do it too when I was in West Kalimantan. However they have it better here, they have that toilet shack! 











Too bad the water was high, the cave was blocked by the water :(
We were actually at the mouth of the cave now


















The Refugees! :P 



Next destination, next day... a waterfall which I don't the know the name :D 













a proud tree hugger :D



This is it! The waterfall haha, was disappointing. 




So we went to seek for another waterfall, which took a very very verrrryyyy long walk on not-so-good track, to no avail! No waterfall for us :( 


Last stop, the deer conservation. But I can't find the pictures of them now lol bad bad narcissistic people. 








I photograph this one :D 


I run out of pictures from this time around adventure with Maliq, Erry and Echa. Please look forward for the next trip to Belitong and Bali in October :)

Marriage by Khalil Gibran

Then Almitra spoke again and said, 'And what of Marriage, master?'

And he answered saying:

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.

You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days.

Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness,

And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another but make not a bond of love:

Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.

Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.

Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,

Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.

For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.

And stand together, yet not too near together:

For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

Khalil Gibran

New Eye

Lately I've been depending so much on my friends' cameras when it comes to immortalizing the moment we share. Just yesterday I looked for my pocket camera and saw that it's aging, the LCD turns black on the corners. It's time for a new one!

Been wanting a DSLR camera, but it is just too expensive, I most def can use the money to travel around and (if I can't drag one of the girls with me) have to take pictures through my cellphones or iPod. Now now, in my imagination about having DSLR I was thinking about a mixed baby of DSLR and polaroid :D 

Always like polaroid and dreaming of having one, it somehow reminds me of my childhood when we visited the museum and had our pictures taken by this guy with polaroid camera. Seeing him flapping the result to dry looked so cool! Anyway, now all I can do is using photoshop to make my picture looks like this hehe...
