Kenu-ing at Tg.Aru

Last saturday I went kayaking at Tg.Aru 1. PERKES (Persatuan Kenu Sabah) was working hand-in-hand with DBKK and the Sabah RA association and a few more persatuan to make this anti-litter campaign a success.
Had come early in the morning to the beach to help out.(not as early as i would like to...lambat bangun juga). The other Sierras had already converged at Sri Dewa(eheheh...S1 punya slip of tongue) for early breakfast.
Helped Bos Alimat to arrange the canoes. Fadhil, with his 11 year old son Ashraf, was also busy with the arranging. Punya my stomach lapar, i tell you.
Well anyway, had told Mel about this kayak thingy yesterday. So when the time came, we both changed into water gears and hopped onto the kayak. We took the doubles by the way. About 50 or so kayaks, singles and doubles, were paddled along the Tg.Aru waters, right up the Kg. Tg Aru stilt houses. Sambil pungut-pungut the floating rubbish, which we then deposited into the black rubbish plastic, we paddled slowly but surely.
All in all, it was a successful affair. Panas like anything!

Mel posing maut. Manja gitu...aw... Waiting for the activities to start.
