Swim. swam, swum

Went to Kiulu again yesterday. A few of us helping the trainers on duty for the afternoon activity. I had woken up early just so that I could be there before 8a.m. Said my customary 'hello' to Malangang just as I was about turn into the junction into the camp.
Sekali... kena tukar jadual pulak..pigi petang. So, i hung about for a while. Played "Zuma" on the computer, watched a CD of the 2005 Borneo Safari Challenge. Tuan Z is a great 4 X 4 enthusiast apparently. Then Tuan H had an idea. Let's go check out Tuaran he said. Bah, pigi la kami a few people naik his automatic Toyota Wish.
Sampai Tuaran, we went to the Tuaran fish market. Lama suda tia pigi fish market o. As a seafood nut, I was very keen on the fishies and udangs and the katams. Huih..if can masak all in their freshness... sadap menjilat siku (borrowing my dad's sayings). Tuan H had another idea,

"Why don't we buy some prawns and ikan and we later 'lugu'? "

"On saja!".

So, after we sampai balik camp, we immediately began the bbq preparation. Prepare the api, clean the prawns and fish. Chopped the shallots and garlic, mixed them up with kasturi and chili.
Hihi... And so, we had a bbq session yesterday.







Anyway, the afternoon activity was handling these group of youngsters for the water safety and water confidence in the Kiulu river. Tuan H, as the 'alang', confidently and expertly did the briefings and explanation. Me as the anak sasing, just helped along monitoring the teens. During intermission, I went swimming and body rafted along with the currents. Strong currents jugak o. Can't describe this feeling of sheer fun and exhilaration when swimming, especially there at Kiulu. Next week pigiiiii lagi. Got time, will go swimming again.
