Hello and greetings again everyone. I hope that you have an awesome day. Today's post is another post about the Miss Tourism 2013 pageant week. This is the day 7th of their pageant week activities. During this day, all of us went outside of the city. On this first place was the Kawang Forest Reserved area. This activities was going to be a Malaysian World Book of record activities, which is the most country that plant trees at the same time here in Kawang Forest Sabah.
Opening speech before the planting trees activities.
It was a challenging track to go to the actual planting area. It was raining the day before and it made the track much harder to travel to.
Some of the representative are very happy during this activities. They enjoyed being outdoor and being exposed into the sun and the forest environment. The most excited one were the staffs that being assigned to take care of the representatives. They took a lot of selfies and somehow it made the whole activities a little bit slow, but they managed to finished it all on schedule.
The certificate was given to the president of the Kawang forest reserve by the Founder of the Miss Tourism International 2023.
It was a very challenging activities for us photographer and videographer during this time. We had to navigate to the surrounding area back and forth up and down plus with the muddy and slippery slope, we had to be very careful and at the same time we need to protect our gear. Luckily nothing bad had happen and we had enough people to cover the whole area of activities.
As you can see, all of the representative and other personal had help to go down from the area. The step that being built was slightly bend down because of the amount of people using the step. It was slippery and if they did not have anything to grab on to, it will result in slipping down on the steps.
The next activities for them was releasing the juvenile fish into the reserved river inside the forest. Only some of them was selected to do this activity. This help to increase the fish population inside the river for the future.
This was my fellow photographer during this whole pageant week.
After the forest activities, we had lunch prepared by the staff working there. After all was done here, we went back to our bus and prepare for a long journey to Tenom. It was a four hour drive from the forest. All of us had a good rest in side the bus tho.
This place is called the Yit Foh Kopi. This activities was also for a Malaysian world book of record content. The most country brew coffee at the same time.
But before they went to the brewing area, all of us are given some light refreshment of the coffee and signature bread that they made. It was delicious.
All of them were welcome with a local traditional dance and music. Some of the representative dance along with the music and it was very exciting to see all of them were having fun.
This is the coffee brewing activity that had been prepared by the Yit Foh Kopi for the representatives. They all are having fun. After that it was a free activity for them. They prepared food, drinks and music for our dinner. It was a very great experience. They enjoyed the dinner and the music. Most of them dance and sing along.
It was raining outside but still they are having fun dancing and singing. watching them having fun and smile was one of the best experience that I had during the pageant week. Music is a universal language that brings people together.
And that is all from me today. I hope that you guys enjoy this post. Until we meet again on the next post. Have a great day and always stay safe! Cheers!!
