I AM THE BORNEO EXPLORER 婆罗洲探险者

This planetarium play a 30-minute cosmic show. It explains about the Solar System, the Milky Way, some ET legend, and Zodiac Sign. I always wanted to watch the show, the entrance fees for adult is just RM2. The show starts at 3pm and I was there at 2:30pm, so there is still time to capture some photos. The Planetarium has a spheres shape rooftop. From my imagination, a planetarium suppose to be like the spheres rooftop can be slip into half and open, then a huge telescope in the center of the spheres. But in reality, I am totally wrong. Inside the planetarium, it has a special projector in the middle, and then chairs surrounding the projector. The spheres rooftop is the screen. When the show starts, all the lights will be switch off. Then the spheres rooftop is projected with all kinds of image, it is a 360 degree screen. One of my favorite scenes is when it projects the stars, with soft background music. This feeling is like bring girlfriend to the beach, lie down on the beach and wat...

I went to a fish pond near the Santubong Mountain. Is a 45 minutes drive from Kuching town. When there on an official business, the driver and me got a little lost when we reach the entrance. We’ve asked almost everyone we meat along the way for the direction. Very fortunately, we manage to find the actual location. Our destination is a fish pond; we need to send a generator to the pond. When we reach the pond, I step down the lorry and yell loudly for the worker name “Muhammad, Muhammad !!!”, he give respond by asking us to “Tungu, saya turun sekarang.” Yep, he’s coming out from his house. The worker came out and greed us politely, is a guy in his mid 50’s. He told us that he is just having lunch with his wife, and the menu is a fresh fish that he just caught from the pond. And the fish weight about 3KG. OMG!!! Is a big fish, I can see that behind his house there is plant vegetable. So he eat vegetable which is free from pesticide, and eat fresh, juicy and free fish which can easily ...

When I reach friendship park, a gust of stinky win blowing at me. It smells like dead fish, I ignore it and start to jog. Just when I reach the man made pond, all the water had gone, and all the fish are floating on the water. I was shock and curious, what happen here? I took a lot of photos when I walk one round, then I sit down at the pavilion with one of the guard. He told me that two of the water pumps are damage, so the council had decided to change it. They only discuss on how to change the pumps, but did talk about on how to save all the fish. There are millions of fish in the pond, pity too see all the fish die because of some damage water pumps. I cannot comment much on the council move, but I do think that they should think of a way to save some of the fish, before this everyday there will be people come and feed the fish. This can let couple know that their partners is kind, there are also family come and feed the fish, this can let parents to teach their children to love an...

I was at the food court near the place I live having drinks with my friend. There are thunders all over the sky, my hand very itchy. There is only one thing in my mind that time; I must get all of this lighting into my camera. So I hurry send my friend back home, and then went home to get my tripod and camera. But when I start capture a few shoots, it begins to rain. And the lightings had become less and less. I had missed a golden opportunity. *regret* Here are my previous post on the Art of Nature Art of Nature 1 Art of Nature 2 This one is my favorite :)

Initially, I should ask for permission to took photos inside the museum. But I was attracted by all the beautiful antic of the Islamic culture, and then I just start to press on my camera shutter on autopilot. From my knowledge what I understand from Islam is that they need to conduct prayer very early in the a.m. On Friday they need to go to the mosque to pray, that’s why government staff has two hours lunch break, and each year before the Hari Raya, they need to fast for one month before, then they celebrate the breaking fast festival (Hari Raya), and I can visit my Malay friends and have delicious curry chicken, and ketupat to eat. What have I gain after visiting the Sarawak Islam Museum? The Islamic culture is not just on reading the Quran, but they also have astronomy study, their own coinage, weapon, clothes, antique, and etc. And I learn that Islam some to Sarawak is because of a Chinese name Zheng He. He is a Chinese Muslim from China, and during his voyage to Malaysia, he also...
