National Service( Khidmat Negara) 2005

Another interesting experience of my life is my participation of the Malaysian National Service. I was one of the 'lucky' ones that was drafted to join this programme and I actually went to a camp somewhere 20 minutes from my house, which is quite near. Moreover, I went there with a whole lot of known friends! classmates and schoolmates.
The purpose of this National Service is not about conscription, that they wanted to train you and prepare for war, but instead it's about how to live together harmoniously in a culturally, ethnically,and religiously diverse society( at least that's what they say, the politicians are hungry in my opinion).
Well, I enjoyed my time there, meeting new friends, always skip marching and training session, even the officer there allowed me to do so, not everyone has such privileges because the officer would normally scold and ask them out if someone skip!


We called ourselves 'the triad'. LOL.

Madam Ooi and Mr.Ong(teachers) visited us in camp.

Aquarium and my fish

I like raising fish ever since I was a child. Looking at someone's fish tank with variety of fish swimming together was a very fulfilling experience. That's why I conducted a fish raising experiment(2006) to see if I would succeed in fish raising!
My mind told me that I should create a community tank where variety of peaceful fish like mollies, guppies, angelfish, and loaches swim together in a tank filled with aquatic plants. A complete ecosystem at work. Wow, That's how the challenge started and I embarked on a journey to see if I can do it or not! Well, I would show some of the pictures to you guys and enjoy...

Pig nose turtle! rare species of turtle only found in Australia and Papua New Guinea.

Journey to Brunei Darussalam 2007

I'm not really a traveling person, but travel seems fun for me and I would really like to go everywhere around the world to see what's out there. One of the few countries that I've ever went was our little neighbour, the Sultanate of Brunei! I went there with my cousins and friend on a road trip!
Brunei was a sultanate state just south of the state of Sabah, It' a wealthy nation because of oil. Citizens have free healthcare, free gas, and once, there was a free theme park as well! but this theme park called Jerudong Park would eventually deteriorate and turned into a Ghostown-like situation due to the Sultan's brother's corruption scandal. Oh man, I'm beginning to sound like a politician or something...without delay! enjoy the pics!


6 stars hotel's internal structure.

it's huge and elegant I must say.

with no one is inside the Theme park, we can actually climb out.

our room in 6 stars hotel.

the once free theme park of Jerudong park, now it's like a ghosttown, the roller coaster is broken, pirate ship sold, most of the attractions are not functioning..><

Jerudong Park's only functioning attraction?

Road trip to Brunei, through ferry in Sarawak.
