What a beautiful evening and felt blessed to view such beautiful scenery of a sun set from far away. It makes me marveled at the beautiful red and orange colours sky.

Some even confused of which direction that the Sun rise and set. Here is the answer that the Sun rise from East and set in West.

What a funny thing that happen until today is, I still confused with the actual direction for North, South, East, and West. Finally, I used my own way to memorized how to differentiate the direction for North, South, East, and West. West is on the left, where the “W” of the West stands for “Watch”, and I am a right-handed, so I wear my watch on right wrist. This will be the best way for me myself to memorize it. Maybe some of you might not agree with me, but I believe everyone of us have our own creative way to learn something.

Durian Fever.

Durian
Figure 1.0

First of all, the “Durian Fever” which I mentioned here is not referring to having fever after eating durian. Please don’t get me wrong or confused with the words.

Durian is one of the tasty fruits and it earned the name of the “King of Fruits” for its tastiness. For those who likes durian would probably say that the taste of durian is heavenly good.

Asian countries are famous with durians and I’m not pretty sure whether it is the place of birth of durians as well. The reason being is due to the nature tropical climates in Asia and with the moist of the climates, it suits perfectly for the growth of the durian.

Not surprisingly with the price of the durian sell in certain outlets or markets with a pricy value. The reason being is because it is a seasonal fruits and also due to the short duration of tasty ripeness of the fruit.

For those who dislike durians would probably say that the stench scent of the durian is terrible, while for durian lovers like me would rather say it smells heavenly good.

The durian flesh is taken out from the husk and kept in a container to be carry home, instead of carrying the original durian with the thorny husk along. The reason being is because it is strictly prohibited in the MRT. Therefore, we have no choice to package it in a container to be carried home. A joke on the rules implementation of the durian restriction on the public transport is that the thorny durian husk could hurt people around you. Perhaps, it could be misused as a weapon to hurt others. Therefore, you could probably see the sign board with the drawing of the durian restriction at most of the public areas due to the danger of the heavy and thorny shell.

I personally prefer the durian to be taken in the original form, where it is consumed in a freshly open from its shell. The feeling of consuming in such natural and cultural way is absolutely great and unique. Furthermore, filling up the quarter portion of the durian shell with salt water and drinking a few gulp of it could help to cool the internal heat in the body. Durian generate internal heat and with excessive consumption, it makes our body to be heaty. Therefore, drink more water after taking durian, else you might fall sick easily.

Basically, there are two different unique taste of durian, which is either sweet or bitter type. The sweet durian is a bit similar taste like the crème brulee. Whereas, for the bitter type, it will be the more bitter the taste, the better it is.

If you would like to try the taste of durian, yet you worry that you might not be able to stand with the smell, I would rather suggests you to start your first bite of durian from a durian ice cream. You would probably got addicted to the durian fruit just like me one day.

A Leaf Mimics Leaf Bug.

Leaf insect

Could you able to discover something different on the tree? It is actually the leaf insect! When I first look at the tree, I could not see anything special, as it is only a normal tree with leaves for me. Only until my friends told me that actually there is a big size insect on the branch of the tree. I even insist to argue that it is not an insect and it is just a leaf hanging on the branch, until I took a closer look at it. I was amazed that how can an insect that look exactly like a leaf and it size like a normal leaf as well. 

The scientific name for the leaf insects is Phylliidae. The leaf insect is also often known as walking leaves, since it mimics exactly like a leaf.


We even joke with it saying that, if you turn over a leaf on the floor, it may not be a leaf. It can even be a magic that makes you mesmerized and amaze, where you see the miracle leaf walking by itself, if you don’t know it was a live insect.

Hibiscus – The Queen Of Tropic.

Hibiscus

Hibiscus is the National Flower of Malaysia, and it is locally known as “Bunga Raya”. Some even named it as “Queen of the Tropical”.

It is chosen as the national flower by the first Prime Minister of Malaysia. The reason why Hibiscus is being chosen as National Flower of Malaysia is because the flower is found abundance throughout the country. Besides, it’s uniqueness of having five petals symbolizes the Rukun Negara, which is the principle of nationhood, and the red colour of the flower itself symbolizes courage and unity of its people.

It is a common sight to find Hibiscus in Malaysia, especially the household gardening plants and along the road sides. 

Furthermore, this flower is not just stunning in gardens, yet it also serves in medicinal purposes. The hibiscus tea itself contains health benefits, where it is used to lower blood pressure.

Safe Driving On The Road During Heavy Rain.

Rainy Day
Figure 1.0

Driving out early in the morning and expecting it could be a cooling weather, but it end up to be a heavy rainy day. The weather was overcast in condition.

Driving in such heavy rain weather is quite challenging as it causes the difficulty of visibility. When driving beyond the visibility, it becomes even more treacherous.

During the rainy conditions, sometimes it is hard to avoid the puddles of certain depth and it is extremely hard to spot the pedestrians or wildlife on the road.

It is always important to slow down the speed and reduce acceleration, especially when the speed of the car goes up to the speed of 100 km/hour and hitting on the surface of water, the car might be lost control sometimes. Speeding in heavy rains can create disastrous situation. Thus, reducing the driving speed doesn't means that you must drive at a snail's pace, but given that speed limits are determined based on optimal conditions. 

Always remember to turn on the headlight when driving in such hazardous situation, so that other driver could notice your car in such a poor visibility. A good road observational skill is important when driving in heavy rain weather. 

When driving in a rainy day, always bear in mind that nothing is more urgent than you and your passenger's safety as well (if any). 





Momogi Swiss Cheese Stick.

Momogi

Momogi stick with Swiss Cheese flavor from Indonesia.

Momogi corn stick is available in five different flavors, namely Tutti Frutti, Chocolate, Swiss Cheese, Roasted Corn and Cappuccino.

Some say it is a popular stick snack for teenagers and kids, but I would rather say it is popular among adults as well.

I personally feel that the taste of the Momogi stick with Swiss Cheese flavor is kinda similar to the taste of Super Ring Cheese snack sell in Singapore or Malaysia.

It is always the best snack to have with together with your favorite movie!

Surprise Deal of Legoland From Groupon!

Figure 1.0


Wow!! It's a superb great deals from Groupon!

I was surprised by the deal when I check on my mail box early in the morning. This wouldn't be my usual response when browse through those deals notification on my mail. 

It is superbly low price for the ticket as the original ticket itself might cause for RM140 for adult and RM110 for child.

That's the reason why it makes my retina expanded bigger early in the morning when I looked at the mail. Even in a half conscious due to sleepiness condition, I don't even make any second thought to planned for the holiday for the ticket and the first thing glance to my mind was PURCHASE it! However, the sad thing is when I further scrolled down my mail and wanted to click on BUY button, it's written SOLD OUT!

Anyhow, that was not the right time for me to purchase the ticket maybe. I even saw some comments on Facebook from my peers saying that the ticket was sold out within an hour of the deal being post?

This is really gonna be a superbly great deal if the ticket is cost at RM10! When crapping around with the peers about this deal, some of us do have various doubts on the superbly cheap deal.

Figure 2.0

doubt is this the nature of all human being? When there is some deals cost at a very high price, then we will yell on it. While when it cost at a too low price, we have various doubt on it. Human being is kinda weirdo sometimes.

So have you visited the Legoland? It is actually a beautiful place to spend your weekend or holidays with your loved one and family. It's a place which I wanted to visit for the second time! But waiting for the suitable time or perhaps if there are such great promotions for me to grab again in the future.
