Trip to Pulau Pangkor & Royal Malaysian Navy

          Departing at 11pm sharp, we were heading towards Lumut, Perak where the base of TLDM (Royal Malaysian Navy) was. Travelling along the North-South Highway from Ayer Hitam towards the Sungkai exit at Perak is a boring journey. We did take a stop at Rawang R&R for some break.

          After 7 hours journey, we reached Lumut at 6.45am. Took our breakfast at the nearby Mamak stall and began our day. Since we were only allowed to enter the Navy base at 2.30pm, we walked to the nearby jetty terminal where there's a ferry service towards Pangkor Island. The ticket for a two way rides was RM10. 

Trip To Kukup, Johor

          Its been a semester break for those studying in pubic universities. Me and my friends went to Kukup for a holiday vacation. According to Wikipedia, Kukup is a small fishing village located about forty kilometres southwest of Johor Bahru. We drove there from Batu Pahat via the North South Highway. Departing on 9.30am, we stop half way of the journey at Ayer Hitam. We took our breakfast at the famous pau shop in that area which is Tang Chuan.

          After approximately 1.5 hours of driving, we finally reached Kukup. We parked our car at the nearby car park and walk a distance of 500 meters along the path towards the homestay that we booked. All of us paid a total of RM125 each person to the house owner, which is the one who responsible to plan our activities in this place. Honestly, we were so amazed to stay in a house which was built on the sea!

          Our first meal was at a seafood restaurant, situated directly at the main entrance towards the fishing village. After lunch, we went back to our homestay and begin the karaoke session. For your info, nearly all of the homestay located in kukup are equipped with karaoke system. At 3.30pm, we decided to travel to the nearby island, which is the Kukup National Park. We took a boat ride at RM10 per person to the island and pay an entrance fee of RM5. As soon as we approached the island, we saw a large amount of mangrove trees. We walked along the 800 m path for about 1 hour and returned back to the jetty.

          When the day turn into night, we had our barbecue dinner at the opposite homestay, where the house owner prepared for us. During the night, we walked around the village. The whole village was very happening where you can listen karaoke from almost every homestay in the village, sounds of firecracker and fireworks. After that, we resume our karaoke session until late of the night.

          The next day, we had our breakfast bought by our homestay's owner. We had nasi lemak, curry puff, roti canai and some local kuih. After that, we travel by boat to the nearby kelong. We had some briefing on a few types of fish besides than visiting a souvenir shop located on the kelong.

          At 1pm, we had our lunch at the same restaurant where we went on the first day. After that, we went back to our car and leave this place. Since me and my friends were going to Johor Bahru for shopping, we didn't follow the convoy back to Batu Pahat. It was an amazing trip for us!

1. Appearance - Compared to me when I'm still in secondary school, hairstyle is very important to me. No matter where I'm going, as long as there are reflective objects around, I will look on my hairstyle. But when getting older, appearance is still important but as a form of respect. I began to wear smart.

2. Financial - As getting older, I train myself not to ask pocket money from my parents. Instead, I began to support the family's financial in a small amount.

3. Interest - While I'm teenager, I used to read comics and novels. I have a series collection of Enid Blyton's story book besides than the popular Doraemon comics. Turning older, my interest moved to things that are more practical and able to increase my knowledge. I began to have interest in investment, business and properties. I learn business strategy from experience peoples, observe how peoples run their business.
