"Mas, a little good, smooth here. Try to hold a large tree trunk and then climb a little tu. "Ting said of the cliff. Mas follow the instructions Ting, her hand reaching some of the seedlings and then stick in the body to pull it higher up the slope. Mas-Ting Group and Wak-Raja Ahmad was climbing the hills in the vicinity of this lowland. Their assignments at this time is to collect samples of plants in the area around Stork Guling. When he was in great difficulty climbing it, Mas remembers her mother's complaints.

"Work what you do this Mas. Into the forest, out of the forest? Like the male! "Mustache Mak Minah. Pompuan people it is best to find a suitable job. Aje intent out station. Mak Minah grumble when Diamond called and told them both and wanted them to come to his house during the omissions. Mas is only silence him. He had understood that the dam. If he replied, again leterannya long. Mak Minah only think of work as a teacher only suitable for women. Inikan pulak always work that needs to go in and out of the forest. Mak Minah continue long complained. While his father, Mr Ali is only just heard his wife meleteri Mas without saying anything. He understands the problems faced by his daughter.

Mas a bekelulusan Bachelor's degree in the field of Biodiversity studies are now connecting to the Masters in the same field. Besides studying he also worked as a research officer. the lecturer who got her, Dr. David. After successfully holding the bachelor's degree, Diamond had to idle. While waiting to find permanent jobs, while Diamond had been working as an officer in the SME contract researchers. Many friends who graduated in the same boat with it. They do not have access to permanent jobs. Unlike the senior-seniors they had. What can be done is to work temporarily in the University as a researcher for research projects. There is also a friend of Service Graduate entry scheme to be a teacher or a backup. Time is still running, now has 7 years working as a research officer with Mas at UKM. Because he worked at the High School, Diamond takes the opportunities available to connect the Master level studies. Mak Minah any complaints about his work, Mas think he was not throwing his time and made important contributions to the work as a research officer. In addition, Diamond is developing itself to learn more.

In two days Mas and Ting working together, Diamond felt rather impressed with Ting. They both can be easily adapted to work as a team. They are like a mutual understanding of each other. As the initial response on the first day Mas, Ting is a high character, good and polite speech. Ting can be brought in to talk all things and is very lightweight bones. Thus all the tasks they can easily and quickly bereskan.

Not all the couples who can work well together. It is not easy to menyesuaikana themselves with a new person is known, in such difficult conditions in these forests. But it seems Wak Raja Ahmad and also had to adjust to them as a group. However, they are just fun to fight all day. There is just not right for Wak Ahmad. Raja Ahmad was fun to tease Wak only during the day. Mas fun to see the behavior of both of them. Once the heart of Diamond during these difficult tasks. Wak Ahmad as a man of much experience to teach the King about the many consequences of this wilderness. While King was a natural humor that likes to talk about experiences at USM Ting and her. King likes to talk about Ting. Good friends from the campus until now. Ting just smiled every time she becomes a story and harassment of King. Ting indeed a gracious and gentle man.

Diamond has long been eroded because of the shallow sense to work with Ting. Even now he was so excited to work with Ting. It was a month would pass easily. However, even had two days to work all the time along with Ting, Ting occasionally when the eyes looking directly at her eyes, her heart stopped briefly.
At first glance all those young people did not think ethnic Tiong Hua Ting. This may be because blood crossbred. Ting mother while his father's ethnic ethnic Siam Tiong Hua. As is often the wrong identity, friends on campus did not call him, but Ting Jason ataua called Johari. Diamond was no exception, first met Ting, Ting Mas really think young Malay. Ting and the King was a student under the guidance of Dr. Zakaria. Like the Diamond, they also worked as an assistant research officer at USM.

Mas and Ting install quadrant to allow them to count plant species at the Stork Guling. King and Wak Ahmad also worked in the area immediately adjacent. Other groups in breaking into other areas adjacent to the base camp. State of the tropical rain forest is humid and hot. The thick forest canopy to protect the sun from burning his head and body of people who are hard working. Surrounding residents were entertained with singing wilderness.

Mas and are collecting samples of species that are in the fifth quadrant. Ting can currently take notes and gather information on the quantity and quality of data species is. Hours have been shown at 12.45 noon. They are still working diligently. Many of the areas they have covered. All people have to go home at 4.00 pm so they can see the results of the sampling day. There are five other quadrant they should examine. While working in a fast, sometimes they smiled Wak Ahmad, the king was talking and seringkalinya fighting among themselves.

"Ting, we stopped dululah. We are already hungry. " Suddenly the voice of King calls them.
'Okay, we're ready ni want', said to Ting. 'It is finished to the people you're working.
We have completed four quadrant '.
'Had to be ready? Posted at four this back ', about the Diamond. Wak Raja Ahmad looked at each other and each other. 'We eat dululah, Mas, Wak at this hungry', pleaded Wak Ahmad. Wak cute round face contact, asking for sympathy for them.
"Okay, okay .. let's eat. We want to have this completed. " Ting only shook his head and smiled. Mas stopped making records and taking their food supply in the tie at the shady oak tree trunk. They then walked towards the river and get a seat right on the river rocks. Waterfalls scenery unfolds before them. The waterfall effect in visual and physical rehabilitation in a hot and sticky temperatures. It makes them forget the tiredness as well as cool and relaxing the body is warm. Mas I want to soak their bodies in the river water. Diamond stood watching the water fall is heavy down on the rocks in its path. Guling Stork is known for having a large stone structure like a bathtub. The results of the physical movement of water round slammed into the rocks.

"Mas sitting here, I went to take water for drinking and washing hands." Ting said, in his hand, there are two bottles of water. Diamond nodded, watching only steps Ting agile and efficient jump from rock to rock to water down the teeth. Mas like to see steps taken in Ting, agile and efficient. The body is high, such as sports heroes. Body muscles clearly visible even in protected by a thin shirt. Mas remembered television shows of the tontonnya day before coming to this expedition, male models who demonstrate the clothing by fashion designer Gianni Versace. They look handsome and sexy. How plague Ting body appearance, plus the handsome and smartly turned out, the order is in character, his speech. Mas no doubt indeed, many Malay girl who will be captivated by Ting. After taking water Ting stood and began to climb again towards the gold. His eyes were looking Mas, when touched with its eyes Mas anaknyanya then he smiled. Mas quickly mengalehkan eyes toward Wak Ahmad. Segannya Mas Mas when Ting watching him catch the eye.
'Mad did you this? "Mas mengerutu alone.
Fortunately Wak Ahmad and Raja are air telagah and asked to mediate Mas at the time. So just do not see very kejanggaannya. Mas shame. But Ting kind of feeling was that he did not catch Mas was just staring at his body.

Mas busied himself as he opened the food supply. Pretend he is busy in an effort to cover the shame. Ting then sat beside him holding out a bottle of water. Mas Ting stretch the food supply without proper regard to the Ting. But Ting is like not noticing the behavior of the Diamond. They both ate while listening to the conversation Wak Ahmad and Raja who was eating and chatting with the pace. Sometimes they laugh to see the behavior of their two friends. Finish eating Wak Ahmad giving guidance to the King of insight to self in the woods. Wak Ahmad is a very expert in the study of plants. He is also experienced with the ins and outs in the forest. Wak Ahmad has taught them about the roots of plants that retain water that can be used as drinking water, especially when we go astray and lost in the forest. Apart from that Wak Ahmad showed them a stick of wood that may be the most powerful and also a type of mold can cool the body. They are absorbed in listening to explanations Wak Ahmad. They now know about the glasses alama Wak Ahmad, an old man a lot of knowledge about the forest.
After that they will spend a work sample. When the time approached at the four Mas and Ting had helped Wak Raja Ahmad and spent Staffing quadrant of the sample of ten. If not maybe they will slip back to Base Camp. It was all done with gold and Ting happy to help their friend. Upon arrival at Base Camp, they find that there is no longer the back of the field work. Then they approached the food stalls. Fragrant smell nyucuk nose-tingling. Ming, its MNS is also an assistant Heah menyeduk busy food. Heah is cooking in the kitchen.

"What is this?" Shouted the King. Sedapnya smell. He stormed into the bowl of the scoop by Ming. "Eh! King whoa nilah This dinner, "commented Ahmad Wak.

"Ye to?" Said King looks empty. 'I am hungry Posted Wak. What is this? "
Ming smiled, "This is not food eat for dinner. This is for lunch. Caca congee and chicken soup. "
"Wow!" Screamed Wak Raja Ahmad and at the same time. Perampelan items in measles continues to land.

Without delay they continue to sit on long benches and scoop the food into the bowl. Ting just smiled and mengelengkan head. He immediately collect goods sampling Wak Raja Ahmad and thrown on the ground. Ming gave a sweet smile toward Ting.

"Eat before he said, taking the goods from the hands of Ting." Mas just looked Ming Ting and exchanges smiles. Her heart felt the larvae.
"Nonsense!" He has no sense of anything. Then he brought the goods in his hands to another table. He did not want to take out what is next established between Ming and Ting. Then he turned and sat them next to the Wak Ahmad. Caca King immediately scoop pulp into a bowl. They ate as normal while chatting with lively conversation.
"Feeling just we eat today. It has been turned upside down hungry, Wak? "Said Mas Caca while feeding porridge into her mouth. Good appetite. Mas devote full attention to the faces and the makananya Wak Ahmad and Raja. Where possible he does not want to hear and see the conversation Ting and Ming. It was not his business.

If you do field work like this is always hungry Mas. "Answer King. In the background is heard Ming Ting and chat in English with mandarin interlaced. Mas try memekakkkan ears. Lantaklah them. If you do not want to eat because Ting idle chat with the sweet girl, let her.
"Non of my business!"
Mas said alone. She is excited to hear babble Wak Mas Ahmad and Raja. Despite the age difference between the far distance, but they are both compatible properly.

A moment later another group of researchers came to the base camp. Mas forget Ting and Sun will continue being friendly chat. Uproar they stormed into the food stalls. Terhidang delicious smell of food makes them feel very hungry. They swarmed Mas, Raja Ahmad and Wak menyudukan are delicious to eat by mouth.

"Do this. Well do not wait to eat. "Shout from the back of Abu Mas. Mas attract other people, make such delicious foods. Suddenly, someone sitting next to Mas soon. Notify Abu Mas, his counterpart from the SME.
"Dasyhat! When we say a gang of work, if the chapter so I do not wait to eat! "It turned out that Ting quietly taking place in the Diamond. Face like a sulk.
"Oh Jason ... .., we remember you are satisfied." King quipped. Fortunately, Diamond does not have to answer the question Ting.
"It's pretty amoi to tackle." The others laughed. Ming is in the cooking shed smiles favorites.

Ting just smiled slightly, his eyes looked right Mas. Ting mengunjukkan bowl buburnya to Mas. Ask dicedukkan porridge. Mas actually discouraged to treat Ting.
"Ask jelah cedukkan Ming." Getus Diamond in his heart. Poor but also when the see Him face as his friend asked him. Then dicedukkan pulp into a bowl Chacha Ting. King then stretched the plastic cup containing the hot to the Ting.
King and friends like Mani and Osman of the USM has not been satisfied to impose Ting.
"Wow! This is the first time I saw no amoi pleased with Jason. You people do not know if kat Tanjung, amoi not think even with Jason. But if its mother, is the public who are interested. Many people want to meet, for the adopted brother. Jo handsome brother right note. "Osman probe, which can hold well naughty.
"But it would be so handsome in use. Amoi did not want to "blame the King. King did not give a direct opportunity to Ting. They laughed together. Ting only just smiled, did not even take the heart directly to the king prank
"Well I'ma kind, although the dark. Minachi around the waist! "Those who laugh to see the King is so confident with herself.
ManakalaWak Ahmad was celebrated King's words. "How are you this adake Minachi want .. when in the forest looks like this only your teeth."
They laughed again shattered. Boisterous barn made food. King did not hurt a bit.
"Wak Ahmad, the tau captured black. Ah Huat did not lakulah ni handsome! "

Ting is actually kind of did not have any feelings of his heart even a ripple. Indeed, all those admitted ketampanannya. He is also aware of the awards given to God. He is also familiar with her eyes glance over the likes of this. Cast and the interest shown by girls like Ming it was too common for Ting. Not in the slightest indahkan him. Ting is actually already married and has one son 9 years old. Diamond has long been aware of the self-Ting. On the first day they were exchanging personal details.

Mas see Ting received prank friends with calm. After two days of a colleague Ting, Diamond is good manners to indepth Ting discretion. For Mas, Ting is a good and faithful to his wife. Ting also with a caring son. The main reason they became familiar because of sharing their problems. Mas is fun to talk about his children, so longed for her children to be abandoned for the sake of duty this month. Children are still young-old golden age of 8, 5 years and 6 months are very small. Ting while also having to worry about leaving his wife and son. His wife is sick today.
Not unexpected in this jungle prevailed a friendship between two people who want support for one another. During the expedition the most helpful Ting Mas. Apart from the Ming, MNS officers, Mas only woman in the group of researchers. As a Muslim woman when carrying out such a tough field, the situation became difficult for him. Difficulty when to purification, prayer, decking themselves and others. But his passion for the environment made him willing to face all this. At this time, fortunately, Ting is always there to help. "

While the Ting, Diamond is a unique woman. Maybe because it was always out 'out of station' along with a group of men Mas familiar with talk of men, and sometimes outrageous to the ears of a woman. Their behavior is never seen women Miang yam when the outstation group has become the norm, and Mas was anesthetized with this. Diamond is considered one of those kind of 'one of the boys', it's because sometimes they do not talk screened for hearing of a woman.

But Ting does not behave like that. While working together in Diamond, so take care of her speech. He will never fail to tell him about his beloved wife May and son Joshua. For Ting, Mas is a very good friend and a place to express perasannya. Mas a woman who is easy to recognize, without complications. A woman who was so brave and have a strong and firm stance. Mas for Ting safe as seroang friends. Ting sometimes can not explain his feelings but has since met with Mas. Ting found that he had discovered something that has felt less of his life.

Finished eating that evening, Mas, Ting, and Wak Raja Ahmad evacuate immediately go to Base Camp. It was already evening. The wind was blowing gently. The atmosphere was so beautiful forest. Seen the birds began to fly to return to their places. Time to relax after a day of foraging for food. They also want to take a break before starting their duties again tonight.
