Assalamualaikum and every good day to our readers! First of all I want to thanks to all our crew and readers who has been following us in every event and keep updating on our latest event and and very special thanks to STIEQ who sponsoring Tshirt for this event!

This event is a very big step to our so-called career in blogging and traveling. Normally our trip will go around the Semenanjung Malaysia only such as Melaka, Penang, Kuala Lumpur and lots more in the list which we dont know where and how to start. Now we taking a big step by organising an event to Borneo Sarawak!!!!!!!!

Oraite here are some detail before we start everything ok. For Non- Malaysian readers, Sarawak isnt located at Semanjung Malaysia, so if you at Kuala Lumpur or other country situated at Semenanjung Malaysia, you cant to to sarawak by Car or Train. if you wish to go Sarawak you must go by aeroplane or boat by using local airliners such as MAS, Firefly or Airasia. and we suggested you all using Airasia and book a month earlier because you can get a lot cheaper prices! For Example. In this trip our tickets for back and forth is only rm 74!

Theres is something utterly fascinating and mystical about Sarawak. This is the largest state in Malaysia , occupying the southernwestern ridge of Borneo. Its verdant jungles are strewn with massive natural formaions, the world's largest cave chambers as well as endemic flora and fauna. Sarawaks greatest asset include its UNESCO World Heritage Site and numerous protected national parks. The vast number of hornbills found here has made Sarawak to be fondly known as "the land of the hornbills" !
