I paid a visit to the Manganime Club (which also shares the same place as the unofficial Big 2 International Club) yesterday afternoon.
As I was chatting and looking around, I found the club president, who was seemingly busy doing stuffs with his laptop.
On closer inspection, a curious tool caught my eye.
Rogut! Never knew such a tool existed!xp Whatever is scribbled on the pad will immediately be transmitted onto the screen via an application. Sweet!
Imagine playing Counter Strike with this :p
So anyways, he offered to draw an Anime form of me. What else can I say? =)
Same?;p
I would have more pictures of other people, but he couldn't finish it on time. I'll try to make him finish it by next week xD

This post is divided into two sections and will be all about Jungle Trekking. I know I have blogged about Tasek for so so many times already but in this post, I will introduce you 2 routes which are still new. But if it's boring for you, then I'm sorry.
Roughly more than a month ago, me, Andy and Thedoric went to Tasek after I told them about the 'new' jungle trek route.
This route is not so new actually. It has been 'opened' for probably six or seven months already. (Or maybe longer? Anyone know?)
This route starts from the right side of the reservoir. I know many people would mistakenly think it's the left of the reservoir but I repeat, it's the right.
For first timers, this route would be a lot of fun, but could be very tiring too.
Very soon after entering, you'll find yourself at the foot of a high and rocky hill.
At this part, I think it would be rightfully called as 'hiking', because you're really climbing a hill with rocky surface.
It's high, but it's not very steep. Experienced ones would find it easy I think.
And to our surprise (only me actually), there were pitcher plants!
Dead pitcher plants.
I never thought I would see pitcher plants in Tasek. Be it dead or alive.
Now I'm hoping to find Rafflesia at Tasek the next time I go there.
Atop of the hill, you'll find yourself standing tall, overlooking a nice view of the forests and the reservoir.
It would've been better if it's higher, but this is okay already.
Just look at Andy and Thedoric's expression, really delighted.
Thedoric's so happy that it seems as if he's promoting the bottle of 100 Plus he's holding, and Andy is just playing with his..........
bottle.
And as you proceed on further, you'll most likely have to do a lot of ascend and descends, which is really really tiring. At some point, you'll find yourself at a really really low area, covered by trees where 75% of the sunlight cannot shine in.
One thing I like about this route is that it's very 'jungle-ry'.
Thedoric climbing..
You'll also get to Bukit Sarang Helang. It's named this way because there's a gigantic eagle nest up a very very tall tree.
I only noticed the eagle nest on my 5th visit, but so far I've never seen any eagles. :(
~~~
And now I'll talk about Bukit Markuching.
It can actually be reached from Tasek Lama but it would take up to more than 2 hours.
We started the route from Bukit Markuching, Subok itself, which is near Andy's house.
The road looks a bit slithery.
The one thing I noticed at Markuching is that, there are these huts/pondoks almost every 30 steps.
At first, I even thought the huts are some fruit stalls.
There'll be a large blue tank at the side of every pondok. And one of them were infested with tadpoles. I have no idea how did they get there.
The trees here look a bit special too and like no other, one of them is shaped like a dinosaur species, Brachiosaurus.
Amazing, isn't it?
A tree with a big nest.
The views in Markuching are so far outstanding compared to Tasek.
But still, there's always a downside.
Although the view may be nice, I felt Markuching is less challenging than Tasek, and I mean it.
Maybe it's just me or Andy took us to an easier route, I think we completed the trek very quickly.
Overall: Tasek has nice views too, but Markuching has better ones. Tasek Lama is tougher than Markuching.
Maybe soon, I'll try going to Markuching from Tasek Lama. Anyone wanna join?

Anybody watched Michael Jackson's funeral last night?
The King of Pop was not only a superb singer and a creative dancer, but also a boundary-breaker, a kind-hearted person, someone who cared for the world.
He gathered various singers to sing "We Are The World" in order to raise funds to help famine-relief in Ethiopia, back in 1984. "Heal The World" and "Earth Song" are his other messages to create awareness. It doesn't matter if he's "Black or White". Racism doesn't exist in his world.
Such is the nobility of Michael Jackson.
The famous Moonwalk
Michael Jackson is truly a legend, an irreplaceable entity in the face of music, and society.
Thank you for everything. May you rest in peace...
My top three favourite songs of MJ:
3. You Are Not Alone
2. Smooth Criminal
1. Black Or White
Back to H1N1.
With increasing warriness as to the case of swine flu in Brunei, Thedorico Franchi Chong Cheng Shiong, the latest Bruneian poet (and was interested to join force with DENcorp a few months back :p) composed a poem.
Have a read on it. I thought it's well constructed and humorous at the same time ;)
Thedorico Franchi Chong Sheng Shiong - H1N1 a.k.a Swine Flu Poem
Yet once again its that time of the year again
When the lowly flu exceeds your bargain
Who else can tell us where it came from
When a sneeze sounds louder than a bomb!
Anxious faces emerge all around
Shielded behind hot-selling masks
Inhaling each breath with muffled sound
Warily going about their tasks.
Is it really as deadly as they say?
Even if it smells of holiday
Cases keep soaring in the bulletin
Fear has driven most into quarantine.
The paranoia grows ever so thick
If you cough and cough today
And the next day I fall so sick
I will think of you everyday! =)
Lighten up your day :)

It has been a really long holiday indeed, especially after our 2-weeks holiday has been further extended to another week, which makes it 3-weeks in total.
I have to say, I really enjoyed the holiday, although I have done nothing much lately.
Any outdoor activities will also have to limited ever since the outbreak of Influenza A(H1N1), and yes, I'm sure all of you know that's the reason why our holiday got extended.
Despite Ministry of Health's endless advice and precautions, new cases of people infected with H1N1 continues to increase everyday.
It seems that most likely, the victims are close contacts of those already infected.
I have gathered every possible ways from the internet on how to prevent H1N1.
Some of the side-effects may include coughing, sneezing, headaches, fever, sore-throat, chills, and aches and pains.
The disease can spread prior to these symptoms. Many of these symptoms may also be caused by hay-fever or a more common cold.
One way to prevent it is, of course, stay away from the infected and their close contacts.
Avoid social activities like going to parties, gatherings, shopping complexes, markets and of course swimming pools!
Avoid traveling to any known parts of the world that are infected.
Although this is very basic, you must know that there are strands of the disease that are airborne and just being in the immediate presence of the flu can infect you.
Cleanliness is going to be your new motto until this whole mess passes by. You should definitely wash your hands and face frequently with soap and water.
Washing your hands in hot water for more then 20 seconds will kill some of the germs that could potentially be passed from person to person.
Another method of washing your hands with alcohol based sanitizer is known to kill a high percentage of germs that we carry as well.
Make sure you do wash your hands too before you eat. It is important that we all do our best to cover the basics during this time.
Avoid sharing cutlery, glasses, apparels and so on.
Use a tissue to cover mouth and nose when coughing.
Dispose of the tissue immediately.
Avoid touching your mouth, eyes, nose, or any open wounds.
This will only heighten your chances of the flu entering your body. If you do HAVE to remove something from your eye, make sure to wash your hands before doing so!
And last but not least, if you are sick, please, stay at home.
Everyone is also advised to wear masks, so if you don't have one yet, just get it already from Guardian!
Please do your part to help prevent the spreading of this deadly flu and make sure to keep you family informed on how to recognize the symptoms.
Like the old saying.. "Be a man, do the right thing..!" ;)
