The Maths
I gasp in awe as we trek around Uncle Jalil's hill~
Well honestly speaking I can't quite tell the whether I gasped in awe or was I simply gasping for air since it was a terribly hot day.
We finally found a perfect footing on 2 naturally formed plateau which is believed to be the arms of a valley. Nicely tucked away up in the hills, the total build up is half an acre. Encircled by huge steadfast palm trees and lush secondary forest. We soon discovered the many great look out points to build watch towers and hammock stations. One of which, almost seem like a parallel view of the Labuk Nature Reserve across the road. Nearly peeping through its canopy, Just 200m away!If you've got a bad left brain, or you can't imagine ,try lining up 6 Broccolis an arm's length away, thats probably a fraction of what I saw.
The reserve is one of the few Virgin Rainforest left in Sandakan.(by virgin we mean its untouched by evil filthy illegal logger's hands~) 10mins drive away, there's another big ass Nature reserve and thats where the "Sepilok Orang Utan Rehab" is. Legend has it that the top canopy sweat at the beat of sunrise, creating a mystical mist that probably last not more than 5 - 10mins. should be quite a scene, Fingers crossed, hopefully I manage to take some wicked pictures of these sweating broccolis soon.
Meanwhile, folks we should all take good care of our bladder!
