Crossing the Sungai Bako

My heart beat so fast as the small boat started to crossed the river. I prayed so hard hoping that nothing would happen to me and my family. I tried to be brave and to calm myself even though I know... this is the place ... this is the exact location of "Bujang Bako", a man-eater crocodile that devoured a primary school boy last year. Well, like what malay philosophy say, 'air yang tenang jangan disangka tiada buaya', Kampung Bako, Kuching, Sarawak is one of the hotspots for the research on crocodiles due to the crocodile density in this area.

We got the opportunity to visit this place as one of my friend, cikgu Rahman and his wife, cikgu Hafsah, both of them are staying in Kampung Bako. Together with my girls, we crossed the river and enjoyed the view very much. It is a quiet and calm place for us... and the surrounding view, also nice too..

We wanna fly... we wanna fly...

Some children are scared the first time they step on an airplane. But for my girls, they are different. Well, this is not the first experience of them to be on a plane before, but last time they were so young... and small too.

My girls were so excited as I told them that we are going for a trip to Kuching. Well... as you guys know.. when I went outstation, they always sent me to the airport, watching the planes come in and also leave the airport. So, they are so excited about getting in a big plane and flying through the air. So, a day before the trip, they already prepared each one of them a small backpack that comprised of their favourite books, love and berry cards (of course), Game Boy and not to forget some snacks..

Not like other kids, after a little guess game activity and a few snacks on the plane, I supposed they may take a very nice long nap before they know that the plane have landed. To my suprised, both of them were talking and laughing and exchanging stories for almost 2 hours. Just imagine...

They were so happy... and I notice after arrived home, we never speak about any new experience. Its just like normal trip for them...

Nothing new... just flying... no stories about the fun they had on the airplane ...
