Bako National Park
Bako. It was when we were drinking at a coffee shop (discos and
other entertainment venues raided in a show of We Are Doing Something
(TM) to Badawi) when a Drunken Inspiration (also TM) struck – Let’s go
to Damai! Thus, we drove around town (well, not all of us obviously, I
never drive on Saturday expeditions coz I aim to get fucked as) and
went to several hotels and finally Holiday Inn, Kuching to ask for all
the numbers.
Damai (both resorts) were fully booked due to the long weekend
(public holiday on Monday) and so was Santubong. It was suggested that
we go tomorrow instead for a day trip. Obviously, being in enough such
situations, I knew we weren’t going anywhere tomorrow if we didn’t
leave now, so “Off to Bako!”, I said. =D Despite it being close to 5 am
and boats probably start at 7 am, off we went to pick up Ah Ann. The
four of us arrived at the jetty for boat pickups around 5:30 am.
It was dark still and we sat there stoned, I mean, drunk, while
waiting for the first boat to depart. It was beautiful, the sun slowly
coming up and brightening everything slowly, the scene was an amazing
work of art by nature. I was looking forward to taking photos of Bako
National Park. Please note that no substances were consumed besides
plenty of alcohol, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and wheatgrass
*cough* juice for sustenance. I think it was amazing that so many
sedatives could be taken and still keep us up for so long.
Anyway, the first boat came at 7:15 am and off we went to Bako. It costs RM 80 for a return trip for 1-5 passengers.
The speedboats did not go as fast as the name suggests, but it did serve its purpose and got us there in about 20 minutes.
There were a lot of interesting structures (by nature) that we passed on the way to the national park.
The boat driver dropped us off at the jetty:
This jetty is only accessible during high tide, the sea water (South
China Sea) recedes far below this point during low tide. We had the
munchies really bad so the canteen was the first destination. There is
only one canteen in Bako, imagine that!
They had sausages, eggs, roti canai (like it with milk), pisang goreng etc and I had two big plates of that.
We then went to get registered – it costs RM 10 per person for entry
to Bako National Park on top of the boat fare. We then went on one of
the trails that leads to a viewpoint towards the sea. I noticed that
most of the shots I took were blurry due to a lack of sobriety. It
should be noted that walking on Bako trails while not quite sober is
not exactly the safest thing to do due to the sharp dropoff inclines.
This is the view from the top of the Tanjong Sapi trail. We then decided (unwisely) to go on another more challenging trail.
It involved walks around huge boulders with a feet of leeway between
the boulder and a 200 meter drop into the jungle. However, massive
benzodiazepine consumption tends to lead to a nonchalant attitude and
general suppression of any fear triggers (which is where the
therapeutic use comes in) and alcohol leads to a pugilistic attitude,
so off we went (I wonder how many times I’ve used this phrase in this
post).
It should be noted that most plants in the jungle have thorns! Fuck.
Many a times, I grabbed into a benign looking vine only to feel my
flesh penetrated by spines. The trail didn’t lead anywhere (think we
got off it at some point), so we went back to base to go on the
waterfall trail. It was too far (5 1/2 hours return trip) for our
scheduled 2 pm pickup so we went on to the mini waterfall near base.
I nearly fell in if not for one of my friends grabbing me while taking photos. You drink, you walk, you spill. 😉
Here are some other notable photos taken at Bako National Park:
A wild boar roaming through the park. I wonder what it’s thinking.
There was some kind of divine statue carved into the limestone that the natives seem to worship.
The best photo of the day (week, month even). A tiny featherless bird
hatching out of an egg with another egg by its side. Anyone who takes
or uses this photo without due credit or compensation will be promptly
castrated.
Watch out for falling coconuts!
Obligatory photo of me at the Bako National Park sign. My gf tells me
that I must be fat coz if I get thin, she would assume I’m using
methamphetamine again, giving in to the siren calls of “faster,
stronger, better”, “sleep is for the weak”, “be all that you can be”
and all that, thus I have to carry excess baggage…
Naughty monkeys around. Watch out.
Monkey family on top of the roof of a chalet. Dominant male not too happy that I was eying his mate.
Low tide sea view.
This is us at Bako National Park. Monash University should pay me for all this product placement. 😉
Everyone has to walk through knee deep sea water to reach the boats
coz low tide recedes the water level to beyond the jetty. We got on the
speedboat and it was back to Kuching we went…

What did you do, just say whatever it is you wanted to make people mad?! You cant just say something like that and not give any backup for it! Youve got to at least give me a reason to think that you know what youre talking about, otherwise, you just sound like some kid with a grudge!
Mate! This blog site is awesome! How do you make it look this good .
I dont know what to say. This blog is fantastic. Thats not really a really huge statement, but its all I could come up with after reading this. You know so much about this subject. So much so that you made me want to learn more about it. Your blog is my stepping stone, my friend. Thanks for the heads up on this subject.
Great job here. I really enjoyed what you had to say. Keep going because you definitely bring a new voice to this subject. Not many people would say what youve said and still make it interesting. Well, at least Im interested. Cant wait to see more of this from you.
Congratulations on having one of the most sophisticated blogs Ive come across in some time! Its just incredible how much you can take away from something simply because of how visually beautiful it is. Youve put together a great blog space –great graphics, videos, layout. This is definitely a must-see blog!
Heya, just curious about if you might have any more details so I can find out a bit more? Thanks.

Me and my good friend were fighting about an problem related to this! Now I know that I was right. lol! Many thanks for the information you post.
Strange this post is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was listed on the first page. I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non related search.
Hey could I reference some of the content here in this entry if I provide a link back to your site?
Ich will nur kurz etwas einwerfen: Bitte spendet für Haiti! Ich tue es auch… Die Menschen brauchen unsere Hilfe, wir müssen einfach zusammenstehen wenn so etwas geschieht! In den Medien, ist die Katastrophe etwas in den Hintergrund gedrängt, obwohl es weit furchtbarer ist, als alles vergleichbare! Deshalb auch hier der kleine Spendenaufruf! Es ist bald Weihnachetn, also ein perfekter Zeitpunkt etwas gutes zu tun! Danke
Your blog is fine. I just want to comment on the design. Its too loud. Its doing way too much and it takes away from what youve got to say –which I think is really important. I dont know if you didnt think that your words could hold everyones attention, but you were wrong.
great post! I used google translation to translate it…
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
Excellent post I must say.. Simple but yet interesting and engaging.. Keep up the awesome work!

I switched technicians simply because after a few years with Intense pulsed light, I thought the results weren’t worth the cost. Then I invested in the no no hair removal. They will guarantee that after 2 years in the event that hair grows again, all treatments will be no charge. They’ve got both lazer and Ipl, but I am planning to stay with lazer now as Intense pulsed light did not appear to decrease the amount of hair returning. Adauga Anunturi Gratuite Cluj Napoca

The Nexus One uses an Adreno 200 GPU which is the weakest GPU among the high-end Android smartphones. The Droid 1 has a PowerVR SGX GPU, the same kind the iPhones have, and it’s much faster than the Adreno 200. If you’re going to compare against the iPhone 4 (PowerVR SGX 535), use a phone with hardware more on par with that phone. The Droid X/Droid 2 use the PowerVR SGX 530, the Galaxy S phones use the PowerVR SGX 540, and the Desire HD and G2 use the Adreno 205 which is close to the performance of the PowerVR SGX 540.
