Singapore Short Gateway

Singapore is a very small island country, but is a very systematic and fast forward country. The pace of life is kinda faster than Malaysia. The thought of wanting to visit and revisit Singapore always pop out in my mind. After I settled busy stuff in school, pack clothes and headed to Bandar Tasik Selatan and buy bus ticket. Bus ticket costs RM40 from KL to Singapore, journey taken around 5 hrs. Didn’t plan much for the trip, my main mission of this trip is to help my auntie, so play is the alternative. But just coincidentally, I went there just in time to watch many performances and festival.

[ Drum Performance by “Hibikiza” from Japan ]

We arrived at a plaza and saw the team preparing their stage. The performance was awesome and we enjoyed at there around half an hour.

[ Singapore Night Festival ]

29 & 30 August 2014 are dates for Singapore Night Festival. My friend be my tour guide and brought me stroll along at Bras Basah Bugis area for the whole night. But too bad my camera was not good enough to capture night view, so didn’t capture many photos of festival. Singapore Night Festival got many performances, like mini concert, shows, exhibitions, stalls selling foods and things. For more information, can visit to Singapore Night Festival Webpage. Here I just captured a few nice photos.

[ Republic of Singapore Airforce 45^th Anniversary Exhibition ]

I went to YiShun to find my relatives and again coincidently saw an exhibition. I stopped by here a while before head back to my auntie’s house. Their exhibition very success and their air force personnel very good manners.

Although just visit to Singapore 4 days, but I met with many friends, watched many performances, went to many places, really full used of my time. Hehe. I will go to Singapore again, for sure, because I love the environment there, wait for me ya if want to meet me there. ^.^

Xuan Tea and Art Gallery 茶艺轩

品茶是一种艺术,亦是一门学问.茶有着千年历史,待你去研究.在市面上,数不清有多少种茶,而茶又分为不同等级的茶.对茶有兴趣的话,那就有待摸索咯.毕竟茶是中国文化的根,而我们怎能忘了传统的中华文化呢? 现今的社会,人们慢慢地忽略了这一点,大多数人对茶都没丁点的知识,反而热爱浓浓的咖啡,mamak档的teh tarik,茶到底去了哪啊?

品茶其实,确实好处良多,增强思维与记忆能力,促进新陈代谢,消除脾劳,还有很多. 这些只不过是体质上的好处,在心灵与内在修养更会有另一翻的领悟.好喝好的茶,就好看泡茶人的心,心情好的话,泡出来的茶会是甜甜的,心情差的话就会泡出苦苦的茶.从茶就能看穿那人的心情,有点特别吧. 哈哈.另外,要享受茶,就好在良好的环境下,譬如在宁静或带着舒情音乐的环境下,才慢慢地和一口热热的茶. 泡茶时也能修炼一个人的内心,内心要很放松,平静且有耐心,才能泡出好茶.

人家都说收越久的茶越有价值,越好喝,这是无可否认的.茶当然也有贵的和便宜的, 贵的应改能去到几千块一小包.茶的确是一门学问,从选茶,冲茶到喝茶,每个小步骤都含有不同的意义,不容忽略.当你心情很烦躁时,不妨找个合适的地方品茶去,让心情平静下来,舒解压力. 

艺茶轩,一间新开张的茶坊兼画廊拼揍在一块的艺术空间.一间由8位来自不同背景的年轻人,但彼此有着同一个目标一手创办的.他们的目标当然是向现代的年轻人认识自己的文化,把品茶的艺术文化传扬下去.在茶艺轩,有的购买到茶具与不同的茶叶,价钱算是蛮便宜的.店里也是一个让懂得品茶文化者的交流站吧.到茶艺轩,感觉就像坐在很舒服宁静的空间品尝着茶,给人很舒服的感觉.茶艺轩有时也会办活动,就希望他们的生意能越做越大,让年轻一族认识茶的艺术.

如果你想品茶,可直接去到艺茶轩.

Annual Camp 2014

During Junior stage, we did CIW while during Intermediate stage, we did CW Advance and Retreat exercise. And as Senior for the last year for annual camp, we did CW Defence and Attack exercise called Aksasais Mandi Peluh. This year, we stayed 6 days at Bukit Botak, Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan. You heard the place Bukit Botak, then you should imagine how Bukit Botak looks like. For your information, Bukit Botak is really botak and high altitude, surrounding of this mountain got none of tree, no shady place to hide from sun. After 6 days been stay at the open place on the mountain with no water supply and not enough food, we get sun burn, very very serious sun burn. Days during the exercise, really feel like labor who really work very hard to earn money. During daytime, sunlight very strong and we still work hard under hot sun, during night time feels very very cold since we are at high altitude area. One day, we just get issued 2 bottles of 1.5L mineral waters, we had to save it for drinking, toilet use and other usage, can say not enough lo. Our squads got dehydration and send to medic.

~ Before depart, everybody still very clean ~

~ Our harbor base before move to Bukit Botak ~

~ View of Bukit Botak, no tree man ~

~ None of tree, we use leaf to prevent sunlight and as the camouflage ~

~ Tools to dig the hole, want to dig until when? ~

~ My partner, pity him to help me dig the hole, haha ~  

~ That is the only place to find shade ~

~ Because we were at high place, so can get to see good view ~ 

~ Stand to ~

For defence stage, is the craziest thing I ever do, every pair of partners needs to dig a big hole like a grave. The main point is to defence from enemy, prevent attack from enemy, dig a place for us to stand and sleep. All work by hand you should know, 3 days limit for us to dig until chest height. Is it crazy? Pair is one girl one guy, so that the guy can dig more, for my team, I think my partner dig the whole hole la, haha. For 1^st day, we must dig until knee level, 2^nd day until waist height, and 3^rd day until chest height. For all of that, depends on the height of the higher partner, so have to dig very very deep. Dig for that deep need 3 days, but when cover back just need 5mins, oh my god.

~ Success of my partner and me ~

~ My platoon ~ 

~ We are trained to sleep at just anyplace ~

~ We are human, do need a rest when tired, then move on again ~

This was the last annual camp for senior, so everybody really put their heart in the exercise. 6 days didn’t bath at all, yerrr, smelly, but have to get used to it, everybody smell the same, haha. There also got no toilet, so? Haha, pandai pandai la. To make this annual camp more memorable, our officer organized a BBQ party for us, coincidentally was birthday of one of our squad. All these unforgettable memory will always engrave in my mind forever, may be the toughest, craziest, hardest but sweetest memory.

3rd TEVA Kenaboi Adventure Race 2014

Last year – 2nd TEVAKenaboi Adventure Race, I won this race but this year we not able to get back the champion trophy. Hmm, yeah, champion is the best among the best, champion for 2014 really very strong. Unfortunately but still fortunately, we get runner-up for 3^rd TEVA Kenaboi Adventure Race 2014, we are still able to stand on podium. The organizer treats us very very nice, that’s why we support his game. This year, this event attract many strong athletes because this event got Cash Prize $$$, HAHA. From organizer, total of 250 teams joined this game, one team consists of 2 members, wow, there were 500 participants. Our gathering point was at a primary school, before the night of game, everybody camping at the school field and school area.

                                                         ~ All participants ~

Organizer set for us a good bib no: 101, Wow. I paired up with my partner last year, to continue the same mission. I really scared I can’t make it because I didn’t really train hard for this event. When I read the name list of participants, FAINT, so many strong legs!!! Fine, I can just do my best. 30 March 2014, the race day, the event start at around 9am. Due to big rain before the day of event, water level rise up and tubing activity had to cancel, so sad. All the checkpoints were different with previous year except tubing and caving. Whole journey is about 20km.

~ Our bib no – 101, they even still mentioned there “JUARA 2013” at our column ~

[ CP 1 – Tie the rope ]

[ CP 2 – Catapult tin with stone ]

In this checkpoint, guy makes the catapult while lady shoot the tin. So nervous when I shoot, waste many times here.

[ CP 3 – put 20Kg of sand in gunny bag and coconut bowling ]

[ CP 4 – Throw 5 rubber bands into the stick ]

[ CP 5 – Caving ]

We reached the finishing line after the champion with timing 2hrs 37 mins, far away from champion. 

~ Prize giving ceremony, even got protection with umbrella, haha ~

~ All are strong teams ~

~ Pray for MH370 ~

~ After game, totally dirty ~
