Yeh tomolo fasting liaoz... so before fasting starts i painted my room and changed the layout of my tv and computer console temporary before got money to build a cabinet..then thought of doing the night prayer(terawih-night prayer only during ramadhan) but change of plan as i pass Gino the zouk pass in town at ard 6 plus then going out after that with a friend - so i skip for the first night. i bought the zouk pass for 10 bucks thought of going with them -my tp peers but never leh.Gino is going tonight, sigh i guess you can meet up more girls there...recommend me some dude. Why i'm not going??Tomorrow is the first day of ramadhan remember. So be good boy for the whole month Zac! Will miss one month of my swimming! But its ok...Aiyah enough of my nonsense...Let's finish off the lombok story

Sarsak
Village

Sarsak is a community in Lombok that is very very poor until they live for what they have for the day. The houses i went is so ruin but have a weird design to it. But i guess the place we went is not a real sarsak house as the architect of the house is different to what we saw in the pamplet.Nevertheless is still an eye opening to see the so called "SARSAK HOUSE".

This old woman knock the rocks into pieces as to make into fossil and they work for 2 dollar per day. I even saw they carried a basket on their head.They are very strong woman.
The house is made from ratan which seem to be wear off and the roof top seems to be made by dried coconut leaf. According to the old woman we talked to(of coz we had our tour guide translate for us), went it rain,there's leakage and the whole place is flooded. She will stay one corner to seek protection.
These are the Sarsak's kids..According to my tour guide,they never get to school as they don't have money to do so. So they just sit and play around the whole day.
But to what i think this is just a show.Where they earn a living by being an 'actor'.I guess this is not true sarsak village.Cause like its location is far apart and the architecture of the house is different.

This part is the memorable one...until i fall in love with it. And I can't believe it is one of the biggest waterfall in SEA.It is called Sedang gila waterfall(translate in english will be Still Mad waterfall). But to get there wasn't easy. We had to engage another guide to bring us in.
First was a bit smaller waterfall and i can't recalled its name.
Then we had to do 20 min of tracking to get there. At first i feel so uncertain as not sure whether my guide reliable but we pay him quite a lum sum so i expect should be ok and good.And good indeed really good. I think it is 7 th storey high waterfall.The water is so cold till you can feel it tighten your skin. And the wind keeps blowing you away.. WoW i wish i can live there forever!
When we got back we took a short cut from a tunnel where the waterfall flow in this tunnel.Inside was very dark and you feel bats fly pass you.
If i'm back there, i wanna go to its Sedang Gila waterfall..Its a must visit!
