I thoroughly enjoyed this trip through and through. Even though we had to walk up the hills, deep into the jungle and dark caves, stepping onto the local residents' dragonfruit and pineapple plantations, we got to witness locals climbing long poles to harvest the birds' nest, carrying big, heavy bags of guano. At the end of the day, it was well worth it. Ultimately, I had increased my vocabulary, knowledge and my range of topics for my Travelog! haha!
Dragon Fruit Trees - All the way from Bintulu to Miri

As we move on in life, we often take many things for granted. For instance, the affection of our loved ones, our calm lives or the very simple fact that we have jobs. We never appreciate them until we lose them. Sometimes, we don't even notice how important they are in our lives until it affects our lives tremendously.
Like the puddle of water on the road. Nobody notices it until the driver drives into it, gets stuck, and realizes it's actually masking a very deep hole!
Or, the roadside pebble. Nobody will look at it until a passing vehicle accidentally hits it and propels it towards the next oncoming car, and cracks its windscreen.
After putting on the hat of a petroleum geologist for a week, I learned to scrutinize everything under my nose. There are always clues to minor and catastrophic events. If only we pay more attention to the little things in life, we will be able to know what happened in the past, what's happening now and possibly predict events in the nearest future.
Why do I think is it important to observe, analyze and hypothesize? Well, if we know what's going to happen, at least we will be fully equipped when the waves hit our shore. It's not because we can be the ones who says the cheeky phrase, " I told you so!".
