    May 10, 2009. Before climbing a tall mountain in northern Sarawak, I went to climb Gunung Braang (around 2,000 feet high) with my outdoor friends to build up my stamina......


    In this trip, I fell so many times to the ground & holes, but luckily, no injury except one of my friends got minor cuts on the arm & leg.

    Pix 8: We reached an area where the limestone rocks are so sharp.....we decided to turn back as it's too dangerous to continue our exploration.

    Yup, I warned him not to wear too short next time. He thought limestone hill is easy to climb but after he got the cuts, he dared not to wear too "sexy" next time....
