Pemuliharaan Ekosistem Alam, Tanjung Tuan, Melaka - 12 Nov 2015

Alam ini tidak pernah dijadikan sia-sia oleh Yang Maha Esa. Bertitik-tolak daripada frasa ini, amat penting untuk kita menjaga alam sekitar kita daripada dimusnahkan secara perlahan-lahan samada oleh tangan-tangan kasar yang rakus dan juga tangan-tangan yang halus secara perlahan-lahan.

Ekosistem paya bakau merupakan satu ekosistem alam yang sangat penting dalam memastikan hidupan flora dan fauna di kawasan pantai yang berlumpur untuk terus kekal. Kewujudan pokok-pokok bakau mampu mencegah hakisan pantai dan mengekalkan keadaan muka bumi yang sangat sesuai untuk pembiakan dan tumbesaran flora dan fauna ini.

Tahukah anda bahawasanya kewujudan pokok-pokok bakau mampu memecahkan hentaman ombak?

 Menyedari hakikat ini, pihak Pejabat Pelajaran Negeri Melaka, Jabatan Perhilitan Melaka dan Jabatan Matematik, Sains dan Komputer, Politeknik Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan telah bekerjasama dalam satu misi bersama iaitu Kempen Kesedaran kepentingan hutan persisir pantai.

Tanjung Tuan terletak di negeri Melaka, namun untuk mengunjunginya mestilah melalui Negeri Sembilan melainkan anda ingin mengunjungi Tanjung Tuan melalui jalan laut. 

Tanjung Tuan merupakan kawasan hutan tebal yang masih terpelihara daripada sebarang kerakusan manusia. Monumen sejarah yang masih kekal dan berfungsi sehingga hari ini adalah Rumah Api Tanjung Tuan.

 Inilah lokasi yang paling sesuai yang telah diberikan oleh Jabatan Perhilitan untuk operasi tanam semula bakau. Sebanyak hampir 200 anak pokok bakau telah ditanam dalam operasi menyeluruh sepanjang pagi dengan penyertaan wakil pelajar dari lebih 10 buah sekolah dari daerah Melaka Tengah dan Alor Gajah, Melaka.

"Mata amat penting." Kata-kata yang dilafazkan oleh Pengarah Jabatan Perhilitan mengenai proses pemantauan pokok bakau kerana mata memainkan peranan yang penting dalam melihat dan memahami keadaan dan aras air. 

Kami menunggu sehingga air surut ke paras yang terendah untuk memudahkan kami menggali tanah dan menanam pokok bakau. 

 Inilah permandangan sewaktu air surut di kawasan berhampiran Jabatan Perhilitan Negeri Melaka ini.

 Akar-akar bakau yang berceracak ke atas. Kepada mereka yang pernah mempelajari Geografi pasti mengetahui apakah fungsinya.

 Gotong-royong bermula. 

Bilangan penggali sangat-sangat terhad. Bagi pelajar-pelajar ini, aktiviti-aktiviti ini merupakan satu aktiviti riadah yang bermanfaat selepas selesai peperiksaan PT3. 

 Tapak kasut.

Sebenarnya bukan tapak kasut itu yang menarik perhatian saya tetapi kelihatan ratusan malahan ribuan siput-siput berkeliaran di habitat ini. Itu yang sebenarnya yang mencuri perhatian saya.

Siput paya bakau boleh dimakan, tapi bukanlah yang kecil ini. Carilah yang lebih besar, biasanya ia akan bersembunyi di dalam lumpur, bersihkan dan masaklah ikut selera anda. 

 Anak pokok bakau kami. Ditandakan dengan buluh kedudukkannya untuk memastikan dimanakah lokasi pokok ditanam.

Biasanya selepas sebulan, pokok akan dipantau dari sudut jumlah yang masih hidup. Itu akan menentukan samada, pokok yang mati akan diganti dengan ditanam baru atau kawasan itu disytiharkan tidak sesuai.

 Sambil-sambil bercucuk tanam, saya mencari habuan untuk lensa smart phone saya. Bagi saya, peluang berada dekat dengan alam merupakan satu anugerah yang sangat besar ertinya.

Tidak semua orang mempunyai ruang dan peluang untuk menikmati alam ciptaan Allah swt yang sangat indah ini.

Kelihatan dari jauh adalah gugusan hotel Lexus Hibiscus, yang dibina jauh menganjur ke lautan.

Konfrotasi Diri - 19 Nov 2015

"Di saat jiwa berasa rapuh,

Hati terasa ampuh,

Akal berasa kalut,

Otak kian keliru....

Ujian ini kian larut,

Takdir ini masih hanyut,

Di depan ku, takdir hidupku,

Di belakang ku, kisah hidupku,

Di atas ku, Tuhanku,

Di bawah ku, noktahku....

Jangan dihunus pedang lidah mu,

Jangan ditunding jemari mulus mu,

Hidupku, bukan dikarang oleh mu,

Hidupku, garaban diri ku....

Yang mendatang, sentiasa samar,

Yang berlalu, sentiasa jelas,

Yang dipilih, sentiasa benar,

Yang dielak, sentiasa salah.... "

Kampung Cina (Chinatown), Kuala Terengganu - 10 Oct 2015

Two hours at Kampung Cina, Kuala Terengganu. Wow, amazing. The best way to fully appreciate the landscape of Kampung Cina is by walk. This location only few minutes walk from Pasar Payang. Actually, it is very easy for everyone to get access to this place.

Nowadays, buses and actually vehicles may simply park nearby Kuala Terengganu waterfront or river side, but please remember, nothing is free. Then, from there, you can get here either from any walking path in between building. 

Most of the building and wall within this area has a mural which represent anything such historic of the place, love and more. There is no fee for everyone to explore the area, it is well recommend for you to bring drinking water for your own refreshment, and one more friendly advice, avoid to visit Terengganu on Monsoon season.

 Who are they?

I don't know, very bad for me right? But I know the most left person there, our greatest "Seniman" P-Ramlee. 

 Every path have their own specialty, this path is well decorate with hanging colourful umbrella and chinese lantern. Each path almost 50meter, I'm not sure since I not measured it but it will take you few minutes to explore.

 Malaysia first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj.

Wow, he is here. Very nice wall painting.

 Another shot for umbrella and lantern street with my handsome brother (please don't make me down even though you realize that my brother not so) and my mother.

I am lucky, because frequently when I asked my mother to go out for anything, she will refused, but at the time, she was the one who is really excited.

She said, she wanna walk around, to see the beach, because for so long she didn't. But I have no chance to bring her to beach, so later I will after monsoon. 

 Young lady with short kebaya at the wall. Whatever, for me it is really awesome art for everyone. 

Art for free... and only those who have passionate in art able to feel it and can say the value.

 This one attracted me the most. A young Malay lady, sitting close to the door with "kain Batik" on her head. Beautiful.

 See, variety of fabric with Batik printing are hanging on. Ignore me.. My blouse was not ironed.

Appreciated what we have on top. 

Hahahaha, more and more beautiful mural. 

Wow, old telephone house. Did I use the correct word? 

Love street.... hundreds or maybe thousands of love padlock were plucking here. 

Anyone who wish to do so, you may come here, buy a padlock from nearby shop then pluck in there. 

As for me, I'm not interested, but I love to feel and enjoy whatever you guys did as long it didn't harm our lovely environment and nature.

Hahaha... This direction sign was confusing me. 

A stage for local activities especially for those who living in Kampung Cina. I believed it. 

This trishaw was so nice. It was decorated nicely until I feel that it was very good to carry a groom to her bride. 

All these are free. 

You may enjoy a lot of pictures, murals and some statue and replicas with free, but please take care of these, as others also wanna to have a bombastic moment like we have.

So hot.... 

So thirsty...

But my smile always is there...very hard to stay give a sweet smile in the hot weather like this. 

The background behind me actually a picture.  Credit to my brother who snapped it so excellent. 

But, I've to tell you that the trishaw is real.

One of the character for "Wayang Kulit" - The Shadow Puppetry.  I don't know what is her name.

It is awesome to find her here, at open area.

Well, I love you, Kuala Terengganu. 

A man with his aura.... hahahaha.

Around Waterfront Riverside Kuching - 13 Apr 2015

13 Apr 2015 was the last day for me to be in Kuching before travelling home. My flight in the afternoon, so, I do not want to waste any of my time. In the morning, I decided to travel along the Waterfront Kuching. To buy some souvenir from local, and for sure, eye-seeing. 


This "sleeping cat doll" attract me so much. In real, it is look so real, and it was shocked me, once I knew it is only a ceramic doll.

What a lovely kitten.

Here is another one. Stand right there. 

Ceramic pot for stationery or anything that you wish to place inside it. 

Wow, "cuci mata". It drove me crazy.   

Bye-bye Kuching and Borneo. Time for home.

3 days 2 night spent here were very much valuable and I wish in future, I am able to come here again and explore new place.

I love to travel with MAS because of its facilities, its comfortable. Yeah, nothing is free, and I have to pay for it, that is why it charged me more compare to AirAsia but ever forever, I prefer MAS. 

Thank you.
