This is a huge bi-yearly event that will eventually force people to used up all their year leave and run away from Malaysia for weeks because the offers, CHEAP!!! Well, compared to normal period, it is quite cheap. BUT, look out for the terms and conditions that comes with all air ticket and packages offer during promotion..
READ THE FINE PRINTS! Can’t find any… ASK! You don’t want to regret later..

Bidayuh Jungle Survival.

Jungle trekking for a short break, vacation or holiday is a great way to discover and appreciate more of the wonderful world in which we live. It is through this adventurous travel that our mind certainly broadens without question. Travel on foot enhances the enjoyment of the scenery, the wildlife and the people you meet. Visiting Sarawak offers fantastic trekking travel opportunities that give you the chance to explore some of our planet’s most magical corners and stunning landscapes.Much of the forested areas in Sarawak are still unexplored.

 unexplored rainforests offer intrepid trekkers endless opportunities to observe exotic and rare tropical flora and fauna.

Malindo Air "It's One Month Anniversary'.

Exceptional Flying Experience at unrivaled value. 50,000 esteemed travelers flown with us, and counting. How about you? say MALINDO AIR to-day.

Congratulations to Malindo Air...
Previously,the AirAsia known for it's lower price.few years back peoples make a comparison between AirAsia and Malaysia Airline (MAS) in fact,the comparison is not fair because this two airlines have different category.MAS for example is a full services airline that flies many large or wide bodied aircraft to a destination around the World where by Air Asia Airline is a budget no frill airline that is manly a regional carrier in South east Asia that flies only medium size aircraft e.g AirBus 320 and Boeing737.
With the introduction of new airline 'Malindo Air' the people now started to compare between this two in fact many says Malindo Air posing threats to both MAS and AirAsia and even Fireflys Airline (MAS sister company).The emergence of the new hybrid airline, the first of its kind, named Malindo Air, in Malaysia may pose threats not only to Malaysia Airlines but also to AirAsia. Malindo offers full service with its brand new B737-900ER complete with IFE and WiFi onboard, surprisingly at a cost lower than AirAsia, something that most of us, the paying passengers are looking forward too.
But the question is, how long can this business model sustain in the long run, while we know for sure that the airline industry is the most sensitive and most affected during vicious cycle of economic downturn, pandemic and force majeure. While common perception may thought it is not sustainable, the costs of these “Passenger Experience” may not be substancial as many would have thought it could be. There are many other primary costs of airline operations, whether direct or indirect which through attentive productivity and efficiency may well contributed to great cost reductions. This is however, remain a question until it can be truly and practically proven that these cost reductions are able to compensate the costs of the “Passenger Experience”.

Malaysia 13th General Election.

Watching the poll procession going on from the nomination day to result day was full with excitement. I recall the same feeling while watching soccer, although I am not a great fan of it. The mix feeling when seeing somebody won a seat and lost a seat is virtually fun and addictive.I stayed online since the nomination day and stay on & off on YouTube during A political campaign' duration. Watching the clips made by fellow bloggers giving me excitement as close as being there myself. Opposition claim this and BN claim that, it goes back and forth for 15 days and I must admit, if I had to choose it must be a very difficult decision I have to make on polling day. These were the days when the true politician (or leader) emerges. I might not be the right person to write about leadership, but I guess as human we understand and know leadership when we see one. Immediately a sense to follow that someone will dictate the next action we make.A lot to be done to my dear Malaysia. Let's work together.
Below is a set of images that I photograph during nomination day for seat P197 Kota Samarahan.let the images tell the whole story.

 And what is so special about Kampung Semban ladies is its remaining treasure of  ladies with brass rings on their legs and arms, the eldest more than 80 years old, the youngest more than sixty years old.

 At the summit, one is rewarded with spectacular views of the golden sunrise over the magnificent Bungo range, the billowing clouds forming a feather canopy over the valleys and with the fresh mountain air rushing into one’s lungs.
