I was travelling to Johor Bahru and Melaka for work last week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Kuching Airport, Wednesday afternoon…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Senai Airport, Johor Bahru.

I was rushing for my last minutes part of my work at Hotel till 3 am.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thursday, woke up early in the morning. Waiting for my colleague to fetch me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We travelled North to Melaka and stop somewhere here, UTHM as one of my colleague need to meet someone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They were introducing every places to me all the way up to north just like tour guide.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We stopped somewhere at the R&R station and had this Otak-Otak.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was my first Otak-Otak…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We met up with another colleague at this Seri Malaysia, somewhere near Melaka for lunch and preparation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the incubator offices for small entrepreneur company. Our branch office is setup here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inside the Incubator building.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the place that we going for.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My colleagues took me for a simple Melak tour, we went to A Famosa.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We drove throught the Baba and Nyonya Street.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Strait of Malacca

We went back to Johor Bahru after having dinner at Melaka town.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Johor Bahru, the next day, Friday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I met Icelyn at terminal Larkin during lunch time, and we went to KL at the afternoon by bus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

About the picture above. i took it in front of a mobile phone booth in Sungei Wang. I saw this since last visit to KL in 2006. There is a spelling mistake, "Network Pool". I think they might want to put Network Poor…but end up with this. LOL.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some artist/musician playing their music with their instruments in front of Sungei Wang shopping complex area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Monorail

Once again, i visited PetroSains at KLCC. This time i was visiting to Speed Gallery which cost me RM 5.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was the experiment result for the speed of your hand with a karate movement. LOL, i manage to get this result with breaking the record… by cheat.. haha.

Some other test as:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Too weak compared to F1 car…

We spent time at Starbuck cafe during night time…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally, we went back to JB airport and return to Kuching on Sunday afternoon.

We managed to have some of this Dunkin Donat before back to Kuching

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They all taste good…

Well, that‘s my trip to JB, Melaka and KL…

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was playing indoor football at Kick Off just now and accidentally break my toe‘s nail….

 

 

 

 

 

I had to sit outside the field during second haft of the time watching my friends, thus i was taking these photos 

 

 

 

 

This is it… it is not so painful actually as part of it already broke since sometimes ago.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am thinking of what should i do with it while sitting in front my pc here now…. 

 

I just finished my thesis last nite. Finally. It was suppose to be done since year 2004 but i just manage to get it done now. Sigh~

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am going to submit it soon within these few days to Scout Headquarter whenever is possible.

For those who are not Scouts, for your info, this thesis is required in order to complete the Wood Badge Course which you will get "two beads" in the end of the Course.

Wood Badge is a Scouting leadership program and the related award for adult leaders in the programs of Scout associations around the world. Wood Badge courses aim to make Scouters better leaders by teaching advanced leadership skills, and by creating a bond and commitment to the Scout movement.

 

First Wood Badge training at Gilwell Park

 

 

 

After completion of the Wood Badge course, participants are awarded the insignia in a Wood Badge bead ceremony. They receive automatic membership in 1st Gilwell Park Scout Group (called Gilwell Troop 1 in America and other countries). These leaders are henceforth called Wood Badgers or Gilwellians. It is estimated that worldwide over 100,000 Scouters have completed their Wood Badge training. The 1st Gilwell Scout Group meets annually during the first weekend in September at Gilwell Park for the Gilwell Reunion.

Wood Badge neckerchief with beads and woggle

 

 

 

The neckerchief is a universal symbol of Scouting and its Maclaren tartan represents Wood Badge‘s ties to Gilwell Park. The neckerchief, called a "necker" in British and Commonwealth Scouting associations, is a standard triangular scarf made of dove-grey cotton (wool is available on special order) that has a patch of Clan MacLaren tartan at the point. The pattern was adopted in honor of a British Scout commissioner who, as a descendant of the Scottish MacLaren clan, donated money for the Gilwell Park property on which the first Wood Badge program was held.

Originally, the neckerchief was made entirely of triangular pieces of the tartan, but its expense forced the adoption of the current design. The neckerchief is held together by a tan or brown leather Turk‘s head knot woggle.

In Malaysia, there are mainly 5 stages which consist of lectures, camps and etc. This thesis writing is one of the requirement in stage no. 4.

Now they are changing the scheme, so i had to finish this thesis or else i might need to take the Course starting from the very first stage again.

Hopefully i could get to complete this course as other Scouters do…

 American researchers have put all the data from an image into a single photon, one of the particles that make up light and other electromagnetic phenomena.

The team was also able to retrieve the data, the letters UR for the University of Rochester where lead researcher John Howell is an associate professor of physics.

Researchers at the University of Rochester stored this image in a single photon and then retrieved it.

"It sort of sounds impossible, but instead of storing just ones and zeros, we‘re storing an entire image," he said in a release Monday.

"While the initial test image consists of only a few hundred pixels, a tremendous amount of information can be stored with the new technique," the researchers said in describing the experiment as an "optics breakthrough."

Alan Willner, professor of electrical engineering at the University of Southern California, endorsed the experiment in the release.

"The parallel amount of information John has sent all at once in an image is enormous in comparison to what anyone else has done before," he said. "It‘s a wonderful achievement."

"Squeezing that much information into so small a space and retrieving it intact opens the door to optical buffering — storing information as light," the team said.

Optical buffering is important because it‘s seen as one way to speed up computers — by using light to store information — but there are problems converting light signals to electronic signals.

The research appeared in Monday‘s online issue of the journal Physical Review Letters.
