Sg. Lembing trip ~ Day 2

* We left our accomodation at 4.45 and off we go up the hiil to see the sunrise. I tell you it was a challenging effort as it is quite a step staircase all the way up. No that something that you is of 25% decent.. it is kinda 40 - 50% liao. This couple in our group almost throw the blanket but they keep pushing and bravo to them for making it to the top. So it is still dark when we reach the top. At about sunrise, I saw the immense thickness of cloud and I could the chance to see the sunrise it totally vanish lah. So sometime it is luck also lah. Early bird get the worm or second mouse get the cheese.. Whatever the paradox could be.

* PPL camwhore way early in the morning.

* These were the part of the crowd which mostly are youngsters
* The ending angle of the hill.
* Caught a really SYT.
* The owner was quite a rookie and setting F3.5 for the shoot.. someone will be real piss with their blurr head. So I offered to help lah.. :p
* The suaram fella chamwhoring. Look at the beautiful mist.

* Well, lost my diffuser.. not too harsh shot anyway.

* Where did he get the helium gas tank?
* This used to be the labour union hangout place lah.. right in front in a big field. use to be lotsa mat salleh here as well. Sg Lembing is also the El dorado of the east. You could still see some colonial stuff here and feel the historic air here is rather different.
* in the afternoon, yes, we climb again.. hell, this Gua Charas is steep man.. Kinda like 75% - 80% stair ler.. I was with my racksack camera back..kinda suicide bomber ..if happen to tumble and fall lah.

* At the mouth of the cave
* Lotsa such mini deities around.. surprisingly it is rather muhibbah.. u have chinese one corner, indian one corner.. thai one corner. Some share dominion in the same corner.
* At the end of the cave you will see this sleeping buddha. He did after all woke up from his slumber and offer me a kitkat.

*Now Gua Charas is a rather unique composite of limbstones of all the caves that I have been. The rock and minerals colours has it own reflection that is rare from other cave..
* So we rested in the afternoon for two hours before we proceed to the muzium Sg Lembing which I really wanted to see. This museum also belongs to the manager of the mining field those days. Lotsa historical stuff and one of the best maintain museum in Malaysia lah..ahaha. Talk about Malaysia museum...ahjahah..
