Kuantan Trip~~

Me and my friends went a two days  trip to Kuantan last month. We visited some interesting places such as Teluk Cempedak Beach, Lao Zi Temple, Sungai Lembing and so on. First day, We took 8am bus to Kuantan and reached at about 11.30am. First, I sent my friends to the homestay that I rent to put down their bags then we went for our lunch nearby the bus terminal. Next, we went to the most famous place in Kuantan that is Teluk Cempedak Beach. We had a lot of fun and took a lot of picture there.

 After that, we went to the night zoo nearby Teluk Cempedak Beach. Unfortunately, it was raining when we get into the zoo. So, we went for another activity – bowling.

Let’s fight!

After bowling session, we went for a restaurant and chatting until midnight. Then we all back to hotel and rest.

Early in the morning on the next day, we drove to Sungai Lembing and have our breakfast there. We reached there around 8am, but it is already full of people. Most of them are going to have their breakfast after hiking Lembing Mountain to see sunrise.

Sungai Lembing’s special noodle and taufu!

 After breakfast, we visit to Sungai Lembing Museum and the hanging bridge.

After visiting Sungai Lembing, we went for Lao Zi Temple which located between Kuantan and Sungai Lembing.

According to the stuff, after you walked from the dragon’s tail to the head,                                                  You will have a better luck!

It’s already around 4pm when we get back to Kuantan, then we take a rest at my house before go out for dinner. At around 6pm, we go for the famous satay restaurant to have our dinner. Then we went back to KL after dinner. Although this is a short trip, but I really enjoyed it!

Samsung VS Apple

Nowadays Samsung and Apple has become very popular not only in Malaysia but around the world. Samsung came up with Samsung Galaxy and Samsung Tablet whereas Apple came up with iPhone and iPad. Which is better? iphone or Samsung Galaxy? Samsung Tablet or iPad?

 

iPhone 5 (the latest iphone from Apple)

Samsung Note

Samsung Galaxy Note is an android smart phone produced by the Samsung. It is 5.78" tall and 0.38" thick. It is just like a Samsung Tablet only thing smaller and it is also a phone and not forgetting the pen that comes together with the phone. Some say that having a Samsung Galaxy Note is just as good as iPhone 5 because it is a touch screen phone, it is fast and the most unique thing about the phone is it has android. The same goes to Samsung Tablet. Most people buy the tab to download and play games. With Samsung Tab you would be able to download for free by going to the Android Market whereas for iPad you would have to buy some of your games or jailbreak.

Latest model of iPad

The latest model of Samsung Tab..Samsung Tablet 10.1

However, iPhone 5 is heat detected which means you do not have to press too hard on the screen to switch screens, widen the screen or tap on it to type. The graphics for iPad is better than Samsung Tablet. It sometimes feels that it is a 3D game. There are a few people that say the photos that are taken by the iPhone is also much clearer and sharper than the Samsung Galaxy. All Apple products cannot get virus and so that is why many people long to have an iPhone or an iPad.

All in all, I guess it depends on the person which phone or tablet is preferable to them. Each of this product has its own uniqueness and capabilities. Its up to you to decide...

Power of Internet

Whenever you have a question or a problem and it's a the moment whereby you can turn to no one to ask, the instant reaction you'll have will be, "Never mind, I'll GOOGLE it!"

The Internet now plays a very big and important role. Everyone using it must holds the responsibility as an Internet user. Everything you wanted to know was all on your fingertips. With just an instant click, you can access to everything you need to know and what you want to do.

But, it's unavoidable when people started to misuse the power of Internet. Some people changes some facts and information from the Internet, posted nasty stuff and more. There are many cases where the Internet seems to be the caused of many social issues. And most of the victims are the teenagers and, the issues were also caused by them.

the stress feeling when someone falls into the victim of internet abuse.YouTube is a place where people shared videos to everyone around the globe with that access. There's a case last year where a video posted up on the net about a group of girls bullying a girl by cutting off her hair, slapping her and pouring water all over her. The video goes viral in Facebook and it was even brought up to the media. Soon, police were brought along in investigation and charge the girls for bullying.



Another case, was a Singaporean girl who posted about her action/intention to slap her mother. This one small status update caused another viral spread all over Twitter and many started attacking the girl for something that they had just READ and not SEEN.

One more case on Pepsi and Coca-Cola company where people start spreading about an AIDS worker accidentally dropped few drops of his blood into the drinks which were distributed nationwide. Upon reading it, many had share this updates and intend to boycott the drinks.
But, little did they know how untrue the news is about. Without using their conscious to think about the blood that contaminate AIDS. The virus cannot survive outside the human bodies for some time. Thus, even if the AIDS worker dropped his blood, it won't contaminate anyone drinking it.

The advancement of Internet actually caused people to rely only on their eyes. What they see and what they had read, they would have immediately believe it, without having any second thought. Due to this matter, many started to spread fake rumours which eventually spoilt the image of themselves and affected the people they are spreading the rumours on.

If the Internet were used in a proper way, it can works to help people but if used it in the wrong way, many people can be the victim of the Internet. So, let's us all work together in building and making use of the Internet wisely.

You won't want to be caught for unethical abuse in the Internet

Shouldn't the third genders have a happy ever after?

Recently an article was written in the newspaper stating that a political party does not want the lesbians, gays, bisexual and transsexual to have a gathering in Malaysia which has been going on every year but only once a year. Is this right or wrong?

Well in my opinion it is wrong! Why is it that we can have a normal happy life and the third genders are not able to have a happy life? Why do they have to suffer the taunts and bullying? Aren't they human? They have a right to live a normal life just like you and me. They should not be discriminated or judged. For your information, sometimes they do not choose to become this gender but it isn't wrong. Some people have more X chromosomes or Y chromosomes in them so they tend to be more towards being a girl (if it is a guy) or guy (if it is a girl). Sometimes even they are so fed up of having girlfriends or boyfriends that cheat on them that they start experimenting on their own gender and they find their life more happy.

There are many more celebrities that are gays, lesbians, transsexuals and bisexuals. If they can be accepted in today's society, why can't we all make an effort to accept them? Let them live a happy and normal life. Don't abuse them. Don't discriminate them or treat them unfairly. Don't make fun of them. Support them. Be their friend. After all, they are only human. They deserve their own happy ever after.

What would you do if you lived to be 95 years old?

Last week a man celebrated his 95th birthday with his family, friends and relatives in a small house at Puchong. Although he is not able to hear, talk or walk properly, he could still remember his family. He has 12 children and about 10 grandchildren. 

The question is what would you do before you reach that age. Would you make your life exciting and interesting by going jungle trekking in the Amazon forest, climbing mountains and traveling around the world? Or would you live life dangerously by going cliff diving, parachute gliding and sky diving? These are a few things in mind that would make your life fun, exciting and interesting at the same time.

Diving with the fishes

Watching a beautiful aurora

Indoor diving if your afraid of sky diving

The thrill of sky diving

Rock climbing with only ropes

These activities are just the tip of the iceberg. Some people would live their life curiously by not listing down things they would do before they reach that old age where they can't do anything anymore while others have a long list stating what they should have done before they reach that age. So what are you going to do? Are you going to list down the things you want to do? or do you want to live your life curiously? That is all up to you.
