Sarawak Adventure 2007 - Day 8 - Day 9 FINALLY!!! By: The Boss No comments

Pheww...finally, down to the final 2 days!! Man..what an amazing adventure it's been so far, I TELL YOU...! :) This has probably been the longest blog post series I've ever done over the past 3 years in the RR blog, and probably de most fun of them all...well, let's carry on from where we left!

Finally, after a short walk from the boat jetty, we took a short walk over to Roban Baptist Church. Took our shower, cleaned ourselves, dumped bottles of perfume and eu ' de toilet all over our body...got a long journey ahead. A six-hour van ride back to Kuching. Lots of time to reflect, sleep, get candid shots of ourselves taken, and most importantly...just having a great time together on our mini road trip! At the start, everyone seemed pretty hyper...burning up whatever sugar that was left in our system. And as expected, everyone's batteries finally seemed to wear off and things began to slow down...:)

Stopped at our usual Restaurant Lachau (yup, you read it right...) for lunch. Had our dose of Chinese cuisine and loads of Teh Si Peng Special! And hey, heard from the boys that you can get that drink here in Klang over at the kopitiam in Centro...not sure how authentic it is though. After lunch at 4pm, we continued on all the way and finally arrived at Kuching at 8.30pm. What a posterior-end-killing trip, man...!!

Enjoy the pics and fairy tales...

Our in-house picman Dan, seen here with Connie...looking all bright and fit!

Sheila and Dan doin the goldfish thingie...:) Cute peanuts!

Ahh...ladies ladies ladies! Tryphena, Ali and Natasha looking as good as eva!

Another of our in-house picman...Jon Lee together with our very own little dynamite, Sis. Ruth!

More from the ladies...Agnes, Tryph, Sis. Dorothy and Cheeeee-ryl....

Once we reached Kuching, immediately we stopped at a nearby pasar malam...pretty interesting stuff, I must admit. And being guys...we tend to go to the weirdest places to visit first. Last year, we decided to go visit some Fish Expo..thanks to Cmdr Gid, who sort of influenced us to follow him. And this year, we guys decided to go beramai-ramai to the animal section of the pasar...lots of fishes, birds, pups, kittens, turtles, bunnies, hamsters, rats...etc etc. As though we've not seen enough wildlife the past week...:) The girls too had a fun time getting all those cute cute shiny stuff to give away as cheap christmas presents...:)

Awesome shot, eh? Here's the flying trapeze/chimpanzes in action...for the making of this shot, click on the tube below to view the video!

Fun stuff eh? Man...these girls just go crazy in front of cameras!! :)

Finally, after settling them and calming them down, we can finally take a nice shot of them (without jumping up and down...)

Cheryl and Alison, with her new pose...which I think she picked up from her smoking role! :)

Cheryl, Shaun and a packet of Cheesel...chessy ppl...

Ah hah! First thing in the morn, esp when your neighbour is still fast asleep, here's what you do...wake him/her up, and at the moment he/she opens their eyes, take a picture of them with flash! Fun stuff...ask Shaun!

Walking to a nearby shop for breakfast...and also to witness the Ultimate Kolo Mee Challenge!!

The fellowship of the rectangular table...with our YB, Dato Kevin Chin.

Eric and Danny...they make a good candidate for the movie, Dennis the Menace and Mr. Wilson!

Jason, Reubs, Kingsley and Daniel...the Four Horsemen! Pic taken just before we left the Baptist Church for the Kuching Airport. Thanks for the awesome time, guys!

Everyone's favourite...Mr. Sanders! Our preferred choice for lunch! Actually...no other choices in the airport...haih.

Tzi Li, Cheryl and Connie looking all happy to be goin' home...

The boys trying hard to look wild and dangerous...yes, I know. Dont laugh...

Ok la...enough of wild and scary shots. Smiles are always better...Welcome to my bud and Eric!

"Did it hurt when you ladies fell from heaven??" :)

"Whateva, Shaun!" Cheryl squeeks. And Shaun gives her the "Grow Up" stare...:)

Yup, you..the one reading this blog! We want YOU to join us this year end for another amazing, life-changing adventure!

I'm goin home..to the place where I belong...where the love has always been enough for me...Thanks Chris for the memories...:)

This is Dan's emo look. When he gives you this look, it means...stay clear. I bite! And yes, thanks Daniel for the in-flight entertainment, together with the AirAsia crew. Really kept us awake and made the flight home a truly memorable one..cheers!

Air Asia...thanks to you, now everyone can REALLY fly!

Its good to be home, honey!! Check out our biceps, bay-behhh!

Alright alright...finally, the END. But hey, guess what? I've got 2 more special posts specially for all you guys and girls out there! Ok...since you're such nice people, I'll make it 3! The trip is officially over (in the blog, I mean...), and now, all thats left is 2 very very interesting events that occured during the trip, which I MUST share with all of you...stay posted over the next couple of days and you'll be in for a treat.

Just to give you a preview of what's coming up...we've got one post containing our very own medical team and a mini surgery that we carried out on one of our team members...trust me! There's nothing more fun than cutting up your own friend! Haha...get ready for that story! It comes with a full video too...how cool!

Also, there's the Great Sarawak Kolo Mee Challenge 2007 post! Man...this one is another killer! It really pushes the human body to the limit...not so much to the breaking point, but more towards the puking point! :) Bet you're gonna love this one too! So keep a lookout for it in the upcoming final posts for the Sarawak Mission Trip 2007 Adventure!

Personally, its been real fun going back in time, telling you and sharing with you our adventures and ministry over there in Sarawak. Missions is the heartbeat of God, and its definitely something close to our hearts...the hearts of all 50 of us who went to Sarawak and Thailand. To be a part of this life-changing experience, being a blessing to people thousands of miles away, living the simple life, having our own own 'out-of-the-comfort-zone' experience, and experiencing God's amazing love and power that saved us and called us out of darkness into His marvelous light!

Friends, the key word here is...GO! And I pray that every year, without fail, that you will make it a point to go for at least one short-term mission trip, because we all need some time away from the busy-ness and the worries of this life...and to experience a life of total trust and faith in God. My prayer is that ALL of us will develop a heart for missions, a heart for the lost...

Without fear, there cannot be courage...without faith, there cannot be victory!

Looking forward to the next chapter...Sabah Adventure 2008! *fingers crossed*

God bless, rangers...
