Originated from Malaysia especially the state of Sabah, I'm probably familiar with this week's theme, "Rainforest". It's like the trademark of Borneo island, which people from West Malaysia refers as 'jungle'. I'm proud of growing up in this 'jungle', we don't live on top of trees by the way.

My hometown, Sabah rainforest:

If anyone have been to jungle trekking in a tropical forest, you should know how amazing are the wildlife, plants and animals that live in it (minus the mosquitoes and leeches). Also, I personally think that the song of nature is actually very comforting. The sound of birds chirping, river flowing, wind passing through the leaves and crickets, they are all wonderful sounds.

In this soundshoot, I'm doing the nostalgic feeling of adventure in a tropical forest with friends. I was imagining... walking through the narrow path in the jungle, where everyone have to look back occasionally to make sure no one's missing. Stepping over mud, resting at the riverside, taking pictures with random animals and plants, those are definitely great memories.

Guitar plucking serves well as accompaniment, providing a sense of 'keep going'. Piano sprinkle as main lead, reminiscing about nostalgic adventures. Pan flute and bongo add on for the urban sound, remote enough from city/town to forget those life problems. Most importantly, some sound effects of the song of nature, the animals and river which I really love. There goes my recipe of my "rainforest" track, Garden of Life, a beautiful art and creation of God to bless our land

Thank You Lord for Your wonderful creation, a magnificent sight of how great You are. Also for the memories with trusted companions, to walk through ups and downs in life. I just pray that this marvelous treasure at home can be preserved and continue to be a blessing for many people, Amen.
