Places.Around.

Hello.

Have you been to Nusajaya? It is also known as Kota Iskandar. Located in Johor Bahru, Johor. This is an administrative centre for the state government of Johor, Malaysia. I work there as a Junior Network Engineer for three months during my internship. It was a very nice place to go and have a visit.

The time i was there back then it was just opened and there are lots of things that is still under construction but almost complete the first phase. It was long time ago. Let me share some pictures of the buildings they have it there for phase one.


DUN (Dewan Undangan Negeri)

This is a very huge building. Inside this building there is office and also it have a very huge hall inside, like in the parliament. The floor inside the hall covered with a very thick carpet that is so comfy to walk on. Hee. I think tourist will not have the permission to enter the hall because the hall is secured for security purpose. Oh by the way, the tower at front entrance have a very looong stairs going upwards. I did not climb it, aha, just mentioning. ^_^


C2S is the codename for the buliding.

There are two building of the same architecture, placed in front of each other. C2SE for east wing and C2SW for west wing. Actually, i don't even know what the codename stands for. Hee.


MBSS

Aaah! This i where i work back then. This building is placed in front of the DUN building. There is a huge fountain designed as a moon and star same like in the flag of Johor, it is build in between of this two buildings. I work in an IT department where it is located at the second floor if i'm not mistaken. This is the second huge building there.


History of Johor

This is where it stated a short and brief history of Johor from how the first flag of Johor looks like and the list of names of our great leaders. U can read it but can't touch it, there's a moat in between like the one in the fairy tale at a castle where there is a hungry crocodile inside. Hee.

Oh and there is a place called Puteri Harbour, It's a harbour where there is yachts and lots of private luxury boats there, it's a place u must go if you are there. Sorry i don't picture of that. Oh my. Maybe i could post some links of pictures instead? Ehe. 

That is it for today, oh it's been very long since i wrote this. Hee, i did not realize that it took me hours. This post is not as interesting as it is, just thought that it is something good to share. :)

Horrifying.Truth.

Hello.

Accident. That's the word. Yea. Have you ever been in a car accident? In a real car accident? and you are the driver. I've been in one. It's horrifying.

Let me tell you a story about how it happened. Let me start of by how careful I am when I'm driving. It's been 7 years from day one I started driving and this is the first time I ever been in an accident. I was alone at the time it happened.

One very fine morning, I woke up like normal everyday and ready to go off to work. My service mileage due that day it happened and I brought my car to Perodua Service Centre to get the things I needed. The queue was quite long for waiting list but i managed to get the things I needed and went off to another service centre and get it done. Right after I get my car serviced, usually I will make sure the things were done correctly and then I'm off to my site office.

This tragedy happened a few kilometers from the service centre and it was horrific. As I drove off from the service centre, I was enjoying my driving while listening to the songs without giving any pressure to the engine and enjoying the feels of new engine oil running in my engine, it was smooth and feels so clean.

Lets look at this shall we :


This is how it happened. Please pardon my drawing, I am no professional. Ehe. I was from Jalan Dalam with the blue arrow merging to highway at the end of the road. Here how it happened, the guy who's driving Black Nissan X-trail drive from the highway marked as red arrow and wanted to make an illegal turn to go in to a junction where he shouldn't been doing that at all in the first place. He decided to make that illegal turn without making sure if there is any car coming from his left. The moment I saw that car did that turn, he was already crossing and he was in the middle of the road when I arrived, I was shocked and immediately stepped on the brake and the braking system locked all 4 tires, screeching on the road, but it's too late for that because it was in a very close distance and it happened in like 1, 2, 3.. Crash!.

Take a look.

I asked him "What are you thinking?". He answered me. "Saya terlepas simpang, saya MALAS nak u-turn jauh kat depan, so saya shortcut sini". ("I missed out a junction back there, I'm so LAZY to make a u-turn far ahead, so I decided to make a shortcut here"). Attitude, that's what happened. Even if you drive carefully by applying defensive driving on the road while driving, but if there's is someone who's not, then it won't help either. I was injured and had a serious chest pain for several weeks due to that I have trouble breathing and also I have a scar on my left hand wrist due to the injury, it will probably be there for a long time. Apart from all of this, i'm just glad that i'm still alive. Driving would never be the same again.

That is it for now. To all drivers out there, drive carefully, don't be lazy and be safe on the road.

Used to.

 Hello.

I used to like Skype very much. It reminds me of a person i used to chat with. I like to use it, one, it’s because it’s simple and easy to use. It is something new to me back then. It is very stable for me to use it in my campus because of the internet connection difficulties in student’s apartment.
There are lots of things it could remind me of. For example, I like this emoticon called
’ Talking  ‘  this is an emoticon referring to me when i talk too much. Aha. I like to imitate the way the mouth moved and the sound added to the emoticon would be ‘memomemomemo’, pronounced it like ‘mei mo mei mo’.
It’s was fun back then, and now i guess there’s no more Skype for me. Oh, Skype.

Interest.Photography.

Hello.

It all started when i was a very young boy who would just love to take pictures. The first camera i ever used was The Olympus Infinity Stylus, it is a small and sleek enough to slip into a pocket; 35mm semi-wide angle lens is good for landscape and cityscape shots; f3.5 lens is very sharp for a point-and-shoot camera; shutter speed only goes down to 1/15th of a second*. This is one of those cameras back in the days that people buy when they want a pocketable point-and-shoot that gives sharp images.

The second camera i got is for my birthday. It is a Canon PowerShot A570 IS. According to my experience with this camera, i say that this camera is value for money. Aaah! this camera is a fun compact camera that have all the full manual control over the exposure parameters. I still have this camera kept it with me and sometimes i will use it depends on situation. Here is an example of a picture i would like to share.

UNITEN's Mosque

The third camera i have is Nikon D90 DSLR camera, when i started working i have this camera bought and i never regret of having it. This camera have those functions and controls that i ever imagine a camera could really have. The quality of the picture taken and lost of other cool features. Some would buy a DSLR just because of the trend without knowing the capabilities of a DSLR camera, and some would just say it's too bulky and less appropriate to travel. It depends on why do you need a DSLR camera in the first place. Here is an example of a picture that i would like to share.

Out of the normal there is something special.


Merdeka!~


It's nice to have something you could actually have interest in. It's like a hobby. I would just get a grab on my camera and just walk around or probably drive around and took pictures with some creativity. Don't worry, there is always room someone who just started and would like to learn more about photography. It is never too late. ^_^
