Yummy. I never knew there was a suspension bridge in the reserve until my aunt told me about it. It is actually very sturdy, a little wobbly though, so if you're afraid, you will want to make sure that there's nobody crossing the bridge at the same time as you. I remembered going for this canopy walk in Penang (the bridge was around 50ft off the ground) and my stupid friends were jumping on it. I freaked out pretty badly... and my legs were still shaking after I've reached solid ground, lol! Thanks! It's one of the few photos I've posted of myself because I'm quite shy and self-conscious, teehee. Now the pimple has turned into a black head (some dirt, dead skin cells stuck in the sebaceous gland). Mom thinks she'll need to get someone to squeeze it out for me, or else she'll do it herself. NOOOO. Yes, being a big food lover, I love the bakery table miniature set too! Yummy.

Wow you know, even when I was young, I always hated doing "masak masak" (those self-entertaining little plastic kitchen tools for kids to play). And I tell you, I was really impressed what Tako came up with. I thought those pretty miniatures are just adorable! Really got me ecstatic! Also, I'm so jealous of you now, I wish I could've gone to the outbacks too! I bet I'm gonna see the "charred" look on Terry when he comes back.. So green with envy now.. <abbr><em>Check out Mingyun’s latest blog post » <a href="http://onweee.blogspot.com/2009/05/patronize.html" rel="nofollow">Patronize!</a></em></abbr> Terry!!

There aren't any leeches in Bukit Gasing at all. We're walking on dry land almost all the time (except for crossing a stream so tiny it has less flow than the drain outside my home). The terrain is a little rugged midway through - you climb all the way down to find the tiny stream I mentioned, and then all the way up again. It's a valley! I remembered this trip my friends made to <em>Taman</em> Negara (National Park) in Malaysia, and he found a leech in his groin. I wonder how did it get in at the first place - given that my friend sealed up all possible routes of entry by typing all openings around the legs and hands with strings. Spooky stuff. Surprise!

Hooray for AirAsia's cheap flights! Well, I'm actually glad that Bukit Gasing's not TOO rainforesty. Means that there would be fewer leeches leaping out at me. Bad enough that I'll be sweating blood to get to the top, I can't spare any for the slimy little buggers! <abbr><em>Check out Chubby Zebra’s latest blog post » <a href="http://chubbyzebra.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/milkmilkfromthecouscous/" rel="nofollow">Milkmilk from the Couscous</a></em></abbr> Yep, I’m back in Malaysia at the end/beginning of every year.

Lovely photos. Those miniatures were so darn cute. I especially loved the bakery one! hehe, not much of a surprise, right? That is so terribly sad about the forest catching on fire! All because of some really poor choices of some really irresponsible people! Such a shame. The forest seems like a beautiful area too. The suspension bridge! Ahh, I have never seen one of those. Seems a bit scary but I would so love to cross one. Haha, if I were to come visit you, you'd be so shocked by all the things that would fascinate me over there! I would nag you with so many questions, lol. Nice photo of you btw, I can tell how much you enjoyed yourself! :) Very impressive aunt you have, Teddy! She seems to be in good health & shape from the photos and all the things you've told me she does. I would love to go on hikes every week! So much fun, I bet. Haha, I love your honesty about photoshopping out a pimple. Too funny! <abbr><em>Check out Latrina’s latest blog post » <a href="http://www.blistersinmay.org/2009/05/07/a-little-bit-of-everything/" rel="nofollow">A little bit of everything.</a></em></abbr> You seemed to have had a wonderful time!

Bukit Gasing isn't as rainforesty as you expect, I'm afraid :P it's nothing different that the secondary forests in Singapore, the canopy is rather empty and doesn't have that 'tropical jungle' feel. But well, nothing beats spending an evening climbing up and down the paths. Tiring but time well spent. Do you visit Malaysia very often?
