The Walk of Faith






Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night (vv. 1,2)

That's the walk amidst the canopy of the Menggaris tree - the King of the Forest. The walkway is 157.8m long and 41m high.

Who walks better? Mum, the son or the daughter?

We are in Sabah, also known by the famed romantic name of "The Land Below The Wind". We have been amazed by the awesome top, and yet to immense in the spectacular ocean deep!

How was the feeling, walking through the canopy height of 40m? Were you shaky? Felt dizzy? Or sheer feeling of enjoyment? xD

Is that the canopy walk at that Porim hotsprings place? I did not dare to go up, later the bridge collapsed/putus! Hahahahahaha!!! I love Sabah...the clear blue sea as you fly into KK, can see the corals...and on an early morning flight to Sandakan or Tawau, u get to see the sun rise over Mt Kinabalu, the peaks peeking thru the snow white clouds...It's so breathtaking and one can really bask in the beauty of God's creation.

P.S.: Hi Rachel! Have fun there!

这是在一个公园里的吊桥,对吧?我们一家6口在4年前曾经去过。因为累,所以我跟先生没有去走这个桥。听4个孩子们说那是一个很好玩的地方。
老实说,我很喜欢沙巴,有山有水,到处都是沙滩。

That looked like Perkasa Hotel in Kundasang...and that bridge built especially tourists.Sabah is anice place...otherwise I won't have stayed here for 23+ yrs liau. Could have been of service..as and friend of stp got special treatment here from kpenyu

James, it was shaky, not my legs, but the suspension and the children was trying to frighten mum by shaking a little bit! It was an achievement I think!

suituapui,

Yes, it's the Poring Hotsprings. You English student thought they spelt it wrongly, which should be Pouring! But "Poring" is actually "bamboo" in their native language.

The canopy walk can have six persons in one go. So, it won't break! Try that next time.

Rachel is really having fun. She said "Hi, teacher".

JoMel,

Yes, imagine taking off 10kg load from my body? Can't imagine, go to the supermarket and carry a 10kg bag of rice and see how it feels. Ha, ha. I really feel great!

Yan said...

Zhang Zhu,

Incidentally, Poring means bamboo, like your name!

Yes, Sabah is a beautiful place!

Yan said...

Bengbeng,

Read much about how you have worked in the gym to keep fit. Partly encouraged by your posts. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, losing quite a fair bit of weight and feeling really good.

Yan said...

Kpenyu?

Yes, I remember reading much of your comment at STP's!

Next time, may be STP can organize a blogger's trip to Mt Kinabalu?

Good of you staying in a place so close to nature!
