习惯有你

This is the horse that brought me to the crater of Gunung Bromo. The man standing besides is the master of the horse.

请你许个愿- Make A Wish

Local residents believe that wishes would come true after making wishes and throw the flowers into the crater of Gunung Bromo and normally the flowers to be thrown in are beautifully decorated by themselves. Goats, cows, chickens and ducks are banned by the local government nowadays. That is why people replaced the animals by flowers.

Gunung Bromo- Mt. Bromo

Mount Bromo is in the middle of vast plain called the Sand Sea (Indonesian: Lautan Pasir), a protected nature reserved since 1919. The typical way to visit Mount Bromo is from the nearby mountain village of Cemoro Lawang. From there it is possible to walk to the volcano in about 45 minutes, but it is also possible to take an organised jeep tour, which includes a stop at the viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan (2,770 meters) (Indonesian: Gunung Penanjakan). The best views from Mount Bromo to the Sand Sea below and the surrounding volcanoes are at sunrise. The viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan can also be reached on foot in about two hours. From inside the caldera, sulfur is collected by workers.

Wheels

Tourists could choose to walk themselves all the way to Gunung Bromo or by renting their own Jeep. The drivers would normally stop at a point which is popular for viewing Sunrise and the whole view of Gunung Bromo after that the drivers then fetch the tourists to the desert of Gunung Bromo where tourists can take horse riding to the crater.

敬你一杯

People here in Gunung Bromo (Mt. Bromo) used to rest at the stalls which are selling snacks, instant noodles, hot beverages and many more before they continue their journey to the crater of Gunung Bromo. They used to sit on the small little wooden stool and having their hot beverage just like the guy in this photograph.

Thusday Morning 9:00am

Have been awhile that I did not write any entry here huh?
People might be thinking that why does this fellow like to write in English but sometimes in Chinese?
Actually It depends on the mood of the day that I was having.
The weather seems bad today morning, the skies covered by a very thick layer of cloud.
I think the cloud ceiling is only a thousand feet or more. The wind is blowing strongly, staking out and looking at the skies, I miss home and I miss everyone who is distance apart from me.
Silently, the rain start falling on the floor, smoothly and secretly by the time I turned back and look up to the sky.
I can hear the leaves clapping their hands and the rain has start falling..Not too much, just like the shower.
Listening to the Jazz music and watching the rain..
You are my only one, my family and you.

Rainy day

爱满叶家

我是一个会经常面对思乡病的人，记得小时候在阿姨家睡的时候，突然觉得胸口闷闷，心里有种很酸的感觉，那时候脑海里一直出现爸妈的脸孔，只觉得心情很差很想哭，所以逼得阿姨让爸妈在三更半夜把我带回家，这就是我第一次的思乡病。
现在人长大了，但是对家里的心还是没有变，可以说对家人的爱一天比一天地深。
离乡背井让我的思想成长了许多，学着不再依赖父母，很多东西也要自己拿主意，已经不能什么事都跑到父母那里诉苦了。
以前小的时候根本就没有烦恼，唯一烦的就是每次发成绩的时候，担心又要被妈妈狠狠地打一顿了。小学开始妈妈就从来都没有到学校领过成绩册，每次都是爸爸自己一人开着他那小货车去领的，因为妈妈说这么烂的成绩会很丢脸，每次我都会坐在班上的后面看着爸爸的表情，每次领了过后他都会笑着说考得不错，没有被调去下一班哦。那时我和弟弟是在从后算起的第二班。从一年级开始到六年级，没有进步。现在回想起那时候的爸爸，心情一定很不好受，哪里有座父母地不想儿女成龙成凤？哪里有父母被老师说自己的儿女成绩差的时候会笑呢？但是我的爸爸就是那么的伟大，他就是会反过来安慰我们。他每天都必须一大早就爬起来准备我们五兄弟梳洗，早餐，校服和零用钱，然后就会把我们一个一个送去上课。以前家里的环境不是很好，每天爸爸得一早起床去用炭火来烧水给我们洗脸，因为他知道我们的小手不喜欢冷水。
大家可别以为我妈妈什么都没做，她可是一位颜良俗的的妻子和妈妈。我知道妈妈每次因为一早就要去上班所以才没有去领过成绩，反而她会用另一种方式去激励我们，说以后等我们成绩考好了就会去领。还记得小学的时候突然看见妈妈在下午休息的时间出现，带了饭让我和弟弟吃，我真的是特别地开心，真的很开心。
到了中学时期，因为小学的成绩差所以就得从预备班开始，那一年我考到了全班第一，是我一生人的第一次，爸爸妈妈当然是特别地开心，所以从那一年起，每次领成绩册的时候都会看见爸爸妈妈的影子在校园里出现。初中一开始，我就是在学校的第一班了，因为自己不争气，所以在班上成绩只是平平而已。妈妈最担心我们的学业，时常督促我们，以前会觉得很烦，但是现在回想其实他们是如何的用心良苦呀。
今天的思乡病让我想通了很多，已经想通了要以什么态度面对他们，必须以他们对我的心去孝顺他们俩，
出生于这个充满爱的家庭是我一生中最幸福不过的事了，爸，妈咪，大哥，二哥，三哥，弟弟，我爱你们。我要把我的一生奉献给你们，我有的一切，都会和你们分享。

It Was A Special Birthday

Date: 17th-28th April 2010


Came back to Bintulu on 13th April, at first I thought my coming birthday would be so lonely without the celebration with my family and closet friends. Celebrated the second year of birthday in Bintulu. It was kind of nice for the first year celebrating in Bintulu but I still prefer to have my day with them (Family and best friends).
To be honest, I am the type of people who always get home-sick easily. I miss home always. Sometimes I even felt like crying when I really miss home a lot.
The home-sickness was getting worse ss my birthday was approaching, I was super moody everyday, do not feel like eating, not interested to do anything. The sour pain inside my heart was indescribable. I hate that kind of feeling, I know it will takes about a week to get off.
It was 16th April, Friday night, I felt like crying again....I miss home !!
Wink* Wink* I saw a sms " Please pack your stuffs, Peter will go and fetch you around 7.45pm, we will overnight at his place and he is going to treat you dinner tomorrow night as you birthday gift." from Edward....OMG, I was so touched and I cried in my room. Headed to Peter's house and slept over for a night.
It was Saturday, got up early in the morning to have American breakfast cooked by Peter. Then continue browsing internet as usual, Andy Law wanted to drag me along to gym and swimming and I of course went with him....Took shower and got myself prepared for the dinner that night. Because Peter's friend from KL has just arrived in the afternoon, so they said wanna show him the penthouse. So, we went up to the top floor, all the lights were switched off while I stepped out to the balcony and they started singing birthday song. I was so happy to hear that. So I turned around and I saw a guy holding a birthday cake with the candles lighted up. Who is that? Look so familiar..Is he the worker under Peter?
Is he Danny? One step closer... Is he Danny? Another step closer...He looks like Danny...Steps closer...Danny, what are you doing here? I was speechless.. I cried..
Thanks Danny....Thanks for giving me a so special birthday this year.

Lang Tengah

About the orange colour waterproof camera, I have bought another one but in green colour this time,because It can captures great pictures.
I really like the quality of the images although it is super cheap.
Anyway, Lang Tengah is a great place to go.. I love the resort that I have stayed for 3 days, but do you know why I like the resort so much? Because we have 2 private beaches, 2 swimming pool, and the most important thing is that all the guests staying there are foreigner, so I felt like I am having a vacation in Europe. Hahaha....
Let show you guys some of the pictures of Lang Tengah Island.

The Resort: d'coconut picture from the internet

This Island is seldom visited by Malaysian, because they would choose Redang Island but for those foreigners would rather choose Lang Tengah.

Cessna 172 Skyhawk

Start flying Cessna 172 Skyhawk for my Commercial Pilot License.
It is nice flying this aircraft, a lot better compare with the Eagle-150B.
This is an unpressurized aircraft, which has a certified ceiling (max altitude) of 13,500ft (4,115m).
Compare with the Eagle-150B, this aircraft acts a bit slower.
The control surfaces responded slower than I have expected, that is why who is flying it need to anticipate everything earlier.
Cessna 172 Skyhawk comes with the auto-pilot which is super duper cool. You does't need to fly the aircraft, it can flies by itself. Nice right...
Here are some pictures about the Cessna 172 Skyhawk which I've got it from the internet.

Thanks Danny for the Wester Digital external hard disk...really thank you for giving me that, appreciate it so so much..

A Special Entry For You

I'm back to Bintulu again, saying bye with everyone in Kuala Lumpur is kind of hard and sad. Because I am sure I am going to get a badly homesick.
As everyone who really knows me well, I am a mommy boy, I love to stay with my family.
There is once my dear who had ever told me, be balanced to the other family, I couldn't be so selfish that only sticking with my family members but forget about the other family members that my dear has. It is true !! I am too selfish, because I wanted you to become one of my family member so badly but I have forgotten about your family.
I miss my family and I know how deep is your misses toward them too.
Thanks for the understanding that you used to have on me, thanks for everything that you have done on me and my family. Thanks for loving me so so much... T.T
You are the best that I have ever met.

Love

Finally, I've Times to Update My Blog

Hey everyone, It has a really long time that I did not update my status huh?
Anyway, I guess I am lazy perhaps??
I am back to KL for 2 weeks, gonna stay here longer than I have expected.
My cousin sis' wedding is on this coming weekend and my Hong Kong friends are coming to visit my family next week. Guess what, we are planning to go to Singapore's Universal Studio and going over to an island nearby Singapore. That gonna be FUN FUN and FUUUUNNNNN !!

I have bought a camera that I wanted to get it so much and I got it at nearly half the price as what I saw in the online shop ^3^
This camera could be used underwater, YES!! It is a waterproof camera and it allows a depth of 3M, not bad right for the price of RM39.90
This camera could take nice photos...although it is cheap but do not judge a book by its cover.


Finally, my Gakken Flex's very first roll of film is now developed.
The photos came out nice and the soft focus on the top and the bottom on the photo is awesome. I just like the way it be...


Another special section for Danny, he is back to KL from his Hong Kong trip.
The souvenirs are nice ^^, thanks for that Danny.
Thanks for the Muji case and the FOODS !!!!!

Have Funs

农历年三十晚

13th Feb 2010, 农历年三十晚， 团年夜


每年一度的团年饭就是在今年的2月13号（星期六）， 本说好要大伙一大早起床后就立刻出去扫货。
谁知。。。他们还是睡得很迟，帮妈妈准备了一些当晚需要的材料后就马上准备午餐。
吃过午饭的时间也不早了，大概已是下午三点多。过后大家才舍得开始梳洗准备出去逛街，我们家有个很奇怪的习惯，就是每年都一定是在年三十晚才出去办年货，买新衣，晚饭后大扫除，赶着在午夜十二点正之前冲凉洗头。这一些事每年的年三十晚都是在重复着，很温馨也很搞笑。
我们四兄弟，大哥，二哥，我和弟弟大概四点多才抵达PAVILION，把父母和佣人留在家准备晚上的团年晚饭。
然后就开始血拼，既然Thomas也刚巧在PAVILION就和他见了面。
最后我还是什么都没买才是重点，竟然。。竟然。。。什么都没买！！
回到家已经是傍晚六点多了，继续帮忙准备晚餐。。
晚餐终于准备好了，大伙也换好衣服准备拍照！！
晚餐时间9：50pm ， 用完餐后好像是大概11.20pm。。这就是我们叶家每年的团年饭时间。
最后还得谢谢许玮杰把我送到机场去，一大早就要爬起床真难受！
也谢谢Maggie把我从机场接回家，真是不太好意思！

虎虎升卫！

没事干，快让我滚回家。。。过新年！！

一年一度的农历新年又要到了，但是这里一点新年的气氛也感觉不到，不知道为什么人长大了就会这个样子。
还记得小时候每到新年的期间都会有一种莫名的期待感，只不过这种感觉已经好久都没有试过了。
只知道它们都在不知觉中渐渐地抛弃了我，好想念你们！
好想念小时候那熟悉的炮竹味，好香好香~~还有那一种被年初一炮竹声轰醒的感觉！
你们都这么忍心抛下我吗？
民都鲁让我多添了一份想家的伤感，一种我从来没有体验过的伤感，一种说不出的酸在心里揣摩着，那种悲从中来的感觉很叫人讨厌。
每当我一有假期就即刻飞回家陪家人了，和他们在一起真的很幸福。。
那一种温暖，没有任何东西可以代替，他们的嘻哈声我可以不顾代价地换上。。
家永远是我最终的归属，无论有多幸苦，我答应自己会拱手把自己献上！
所谓，树高千丈，始终都有落叶归根的一天。。

须知饮水思源意，
百善应推孝为先。
