My Maliau Story....

Lovebirds

The convoy

19 September
-Packed breakfast and lunch in separate containers especially for the kids. Also prepared sandwiches to be munched along the way...and we were off at about 8 a.m. from SASS.

-Filled in gas at Keningau and had to tapau chicken rice as I had carelessly forgot to bring rice...shhh..

-Sweeper for the convoy...so we ate dust (ha!), well not exactly..;P . Drove after Nabawan to the Maliau entrance. Flat tyre along the way...thanks to a Vigo driver who pointed it out, if not...hmmm...

-Kononnya, we (Haris (driver), George (tukang suluh yang buli tahan tau!), Romeo, Beevy & I) went for a night safari...only spotted a tonduyutung, a damn big rat which at first we thought was a pelanuk. We caught sight later a payau just around the studies center.

20 September
-Went up the canopy walk and the observation tower.

-Enjoyed Romeo's hot tea while playing cards.

-Did the night safari again but...again another disappointment...spotted deers but was not able to get satisfying pictures of them. Saw lots of musang....and never got to see the infamous tambadau they (those who were luckly) saw.

21 September
-Those who were out from midnight till about 3 a.m. were the last ones to leave (ha! siapa lah suruh kan)

-Romeo's car broke down as we were nearing Keningau. Had Hari Raya lunch at Archeley's aunt's place.

-Left Keningau around 6.30 p.m.

Although there was disappointment in not being able to see the animals, I appreciated the fellowship the convoy shared. Our kids had a great time and to me that is what matters most...
