Whitewater Rafting : Kiulu River, Sabah

Friday 11 August 2006 : Whitewater Rafting Level 1-2 (Beginner/Honeymoon Level) at Sungai Kiulu, Tamparuli, Sabah

Went with my sister Nurul Husna who is studying at Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Kota Kinabalu. The tour company, Riverbug based in Kota Kinabalu. The location is about 1 hour and 30 minute drive from Kota Kinabalu. The whole journey, including equipment rental, safety briefing, a guide in each raft, sumptous bbq lunch and return trip to hotel costed only RM130 for me and RM100 for my sister (university student rate). The guides were very friendly and our guide especially, Apeng, was the funniest of the whole lot. It was total amazing fun... too fun that I had to be resqued after being swept away for almost 400 metres by the river currents after our raft capsized! Did some thrilling body rafting too. Because of the rain the previous night, our journey was extended to 14 km instead of the usual 7 km. Highly recommended for all. Will go back for the fun again.

Happy Birthday : Happy 1 year old Ameera

Umi and Abah loves you Ameera...

Exactly 1 year ago at Hospital USM Kubang Kerian, Kelantan, Alhamdulilah, my lovely wife, Suzana safely gave birth to a wonderful girl that has changed and filled our lives with happiness and fullfilment. We named her as Ameera Sofya Binti Mohammad Fitri. Semoga panjang umur, hidup diberkati Allah, jadi anak yang solehah dan cerdik, cerdas dan cergas yang akan menyumbang kepada agama Allah, umat Islam, keluarga, bangsa dan negara. Kami semua sayang Ameera

(Ameera have been with the grandparents in Besut for more than 1 week now. Word from there is that she is getting plummier! My wife is concentrating on her Master's thesis and I'm constantly on the move for duty. More updates and photos about her in the coming days/weeks)

Travel : Rest in Bintulu

Arrived in Bintulu last night after a 2 and a half hour drive from Miri and feasting delicious Sarawak durian at Simpang Niah . Did some street photography this morning around Kampung Jepok, on the banks of the Kemena River in Bintulu. Actually, malas aah nak tulis lanjut. Nanti dah cuci gambar akan post maklumat lanjut.
