16 Members from other Lion's club : liew, gerald ng, awang, Sheila, siti, nabila, Cecil, roland, mike lim, siaw ling, sheila adenan, nicole, ..etc. (As much as i could get)
Driving according to the map, we reached Camp Mike as earliest group. While waiting for the others, SiawChing was busy surveying the compound and capturing a lot nice pictures. A natural fish pond on the ground beside our sitting area, Stones steps down the terrain to the pond, classic tun jugah cycle rickshaw, BBQ area, boat/kayak, ..etc. Natural view and relaxing. Theres a huge wind chime nearby the sitting area, giving beautiful sounds in the breeze. Definitely a very relaxing place to go. Theres also big lion paint in the house. Lots of interesting thing around.

- the pond-
Mike welcomed everyone and Cecil briefed everyone about the afternoon activity. Then, we were made to blindfold ourselves and follow own group leader in moving up the hill. We were surprise to see a small Indian temple/structure when we took off the blindfold. Our first stop.
-briefing and ice-breaking session -
-Jungle trekking on the way up to the top -
Then, further up to second stop (w/o blindfold) until another indian structure. This where we saw a giant spider and enjoying the environment before we were blindfolded again?!
-walking with the blindfold-
The blindfolded lion trekker finally reach the last stop. One by one "orang buta" Up the "Rumah Panjang" ladder to the Indian Temple. The scenery view plus the temple were amazing. We also discovered 2 lions among the statutes there. The trees and bush moving in the winds, sounds like ocean waves.
Weather later became more windy. Cecil told us time to head back, while picking up rubbish on the way down.
-'0' meter to the top -
On the way down, we saw things we missed during blindfolding. Temple Donation Notice, all kinds of Floral, RTM radio station on a distance peak. Down the hill were weirdly long, windy, dark in that weather, more tiring with some loose rocks, even w/o blindfolding.
-Emerald family-
-Environmental project : picking up rubbish down the hill-
When we reached Camp Mike, the weather turned out to be okay. BBQ started by Mike's helper. Some went to kayaking/rafting in the pond. Some dramas of "captain abandon ship, perahu hit the bank, merry go round, floater drifting away from raft". Lots of fun and laugh. BBQ buffet later was indeed very nice. We heard that Kuching was raining, while we only felt a few drops/ drizzling during the whole trek and.
-kayaking-
-see what happen to our President?-"kick to see the zoom in"
-BBQ dinner-
-Certificate presentation-
The evening ended with certification giving ceremony and phototaking. A trip that I would definitely recommended for anyone for an out-of-city break and relaxing yet enjoyable weekend, in safe activities and well built camp facilty done by Mike.
