Famous world experience of Capadoccia,riding hot air balloon

I feel very lucky that time to have the ride cuz mostly people include some websites claim if you want to have the best hot air balloon ride in the world, Capadoccia is the place for you.Plus that time is winter season.For your info if bad weather for that day you cannot ride the balloon and you know how weather in winter is (always windy plus rainy) and coincidentally on my day the weather is very good though.And yeah lets enjoy seeing some of my photos here !

This is how the sky landscape looks,you can see a lot of hot air balloons surrounding you.  The bigger two couple balloons which touch each other are called as 'kissing balloons'.No such collision will occur in hot air balloon dont worry. 

With one of my travel members,Amoy

This dance is between 30-45 minutes and it is called Turkish Night event.This dance already been practiced thousands of years ago.Locals said this dance is the way for new women attracting the king to be the king's mistress.....for a long time ago.

Kapadokya at night. 90% from the entire buildings are made from volcano eruption phenomena which after that modified by local people for their living in the buildings.Okay see ya !

****wait for my Turkey travel part 3 coming soon

~ Thank you so much for reaching until this point ~

MY HIKING ADVENTURE PART 2

Hello guys! It's me again. my previous post was a boom for me since it was my first time creating an entry and had me recall all the exciting moment from the previous hiking trip at Broga Hill, Semenyih, Kajang. So, now lets proceed with my second entry and continue enjoy my experince throughout hiking adventure.

2. Gunung Berembun, Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan.

This will be my second entry sharing my experience of my hiking trip at Gunung Berembun! Firstly, this was unplanned trip because there was a random stranger from Hiking Community that I joined asked for a accompany to hike the mountain. Therefore, because of boredom, I decided to accept his invitation and we went there. The trip were planned just among both of us.

It was on Friday in March that I had planned to meet him at KTM Serdang so that he can pick me up and we went to nearby night market to by some ration and equipment before we set back to his house to have a rest and wait for early morning to start our journey.

The next day, we get up early around 6 a.m. and get ready to go to Jelebu by his car. Before we went to mountain hiking entrance we stopped at nearby stall to get some breakfast. After we finished we continued to the designated entrance and prepared our bags and set off around 7.45 a.m. At the entrance, there will be a post where there were two forest rangers that instructed to wrote our detail before we can continue.

This was the main entrance.

After 30 minutes hike, we arrived at our first checkpoint, Lata Berembun which was a river spot that we can enjoyed in it. However, we continue our journey because we planned to went there after we descend. About 9.15 a.m., we arrived at Gua Kambing. It was the second checkpoint and the only water point that we can get. The water that flow nearby were really fresh since it was flowing from the top of the mountain. After 15 minutes break, we continue our long journey to arrive at the peak of Gunung Berembun. Along the trail, it was very peaceful and calming. We can heard animals and observed vary types of plants and insects that really beautiful.

This was at Gua Kambing.

This was at Lata Berembun.

Around 10.30 a.m., we safely arrived at the peak of Gunung Berembun. We set down for awhile and took a rest. We decided that we wanted to visit a plane crash site that was abandoned during World War 2. It was quite far and took us around 1 hour 30 minutes to arrived at the location. We have to descend at at that location and it was quite slippery due to mix of water flowing from the mountain. However we managed to saw the site and take a few photographs of it.

This were a few images that i managed to capture at the crash sire.

We returned back to the peak and arrived around 1.30 p.m.. We prepared our lunch there by using mini stove and he taught me what kind of ration that was suitable to bring during a long hiking trip. We rest there for 45 minutes and start to descend down the mountain and head for the Lata Berembun to take a bath there.

Even though it was just an instant noodle but the feeling when I had it at the peak was different!

The journey took us 1 hour 15 minutes to arrived there. It was consider quite fast since it were just both of us. Before we leave, we relaxed at the river and then set back to our parking lot. We cleaned our self as we reached the entrance and it was already 4.45 p.m. at that that. It was very exhausted but I really think it was fun and I enjoy the nature very well. However, that was not the end because he invited me to hike another mountain the next day. Stay tune!

THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE

THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE

AREA:NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN

Bermuda Triangle, section of the North Atlantic Ocean off North America in which ships and airplanes are said to have mysteriously disappeared. The area, whose boundaries are not universally agreed upon, has a vaguely triangular shape marked by the Atlantic coast of the Florida panhandle (in the United States), Bermuda, and the Greater Antilles.Luxury ships and airplanes will often pass through this area.Unexplained circumstances surround some of these accidents, including one in which the pilots of a squadron of U.S. Navy bombers became disoriented while flying over the area; the planes were never found. Other boats and planes have seemingly vanished from the area in good weather without even radioing distress messages.

                                          

Some speculate that unknown and mysterious forces account for the unexplained disappearances, such as extraterrestrials capturing humans for study; the influence of the lost continent of Atlantis;vortices that suck objects into other dimensions; and other whimsical ideas. Some explanations are more grounded in science, if not in evidence. These include oceanic flatulence (methane gas erupting from ocean sediments) and disruptions in geomagnetic lines of flux.

A pattern allegedly began forming in which vessels traversing the Bermuda Triangle would either disappear or be found abandoned. Then, in December 1945, five Navy bombers carrying 14 men took off from a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, airfield in order to conduct practice bombing runs over some nearby shoals. But with his compasses apparently malfunctioning, the leader of the mission, known as Flight 19, got severely lost. All five planes flew aimlessly until they ran low on fuel and were forced to ditch at sea. That same day, a rescue plane and its 13-man crew also disappeared. After a massive weeks-long search failed to turn up any evidence, the official Navy report declared that it was “as if they had flown to Mars.”

BLOOD DONATION CAMPAIGN

On the 13th of July, Saturday, Kelab Kasih Sayang (AKS) which consists of me and my family members organized a blood donation campaign. The theme of the campaign held was "With A Drop Of Blood, You Can Make A Difference, Give Blood Save Lives".  A blood donation is done when a person voluntarily allows their blood to be drawn by doctors to be used for transfusion for those in need of the blood. For an example, people who need blood are those who have met in an accident and suffered blood loss, those who have a liver disease and their body cannot produce sufficient blood for themselves or people who lack in red blood cells, white blood cells or platelets.

The blood donation campaign was held at 1100 hours on Saturday morning till 1700 hours in AEON Co (M) Sdn Bhd, Bandar Baru Permas Jaya, Plentong, Johor. The campaign organized was collaborated with Hospital Sultan Ismail, Johor and inaugurated by Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin who was the 15th Menteri Besar of Johor. Some other VIP's were also invited to join us for the campaign. At 0900 hours that morning, we and the nurses from the hospital we already at the shopping mall setting up the area. Banners and posters were set up around the place. After the arrival of the VIP's at around 1130 hours, the opening ceremony began with some speeches and continued with the VIP's themselves donating blood. During this time, flyers were distributed around to attract those interested to donate some blood and also to create awareness of the campaign being held to those who didn't know.

Below are some photos taken during the blood donation :-

At around 1630 hours, the registration corner for the blood donation closed. Later after all the blood donation was done, the blood bags were counted and kept in cases and the rubbish were collected and kept in special plastic bags both provided by the hospitals. Once everybody was done donating, the chairs were all put away and the place was cleared. It was a successful campaign and we definitely hope to do more campaigns as such to help those in need. 

Lastly, many more campaigns, not only blood donation, should be encouraged to be organized to help those in need as there are many people who are suffering from a diversity of problems and need our help. Acts like donation blood, food or clothes to homes, or charity can be a great deal to others. These small things will put a smile on their faces and their families which will give us the satisfaction like no other.

THANK YOU !!!

AQUAPONICS SYSTEM 

  Assalamualaikum and a very good day to everyone, today I wanna share to you guys a little bit knowledge about aquaponics system. So, Actually aquaponics system is a system that combine conventional aquaculture (aquatic animals such as crayfish, fish and prawns) with hydroponics ( cultivating plants in water ) in a symbiotic environment.

Aquaponics system concept :  Google Images

  Based on this system, my dad Effendy Halily innovated the system to farm lobsters. He even created his own system named CLAW system. It's an aquaponic system built using cabinets and pipes. Usually on the top of the system used for plantings called grow bed. Almost all kinds of veges and fruit can be planted there. Leca soil will be used as the grow bed's base and not just usual soil. This is because it gives more spaces for water to flow. If using usual soil, water will stuck and the grow bed will flood. As for the piping part, it must have ball valve for controlling water pressure in case the water from pump is too great. Before putting lobsters into the system, the system must be let running itself  for at least for 24 hours so that the ammonia contained in the water will be lessen. After that, it should be safe to put lobsters or other water creatures inside. This system is much easier as it does not need much spaces to set up. You can just build this system outside the house or at backyards. By the way, aquaponic system can also use to farm plants and water animals at the same time and also saves big spaces.

Life Onboard

After sometime i'm back on track.Hey viewers, how are you guys?hope you are all fine as wine.Today i would like to talk about my life during  onboard practicals.After studying in the Malaysian Maritime Academy(ALAM) for a year,as cadets of ALAM we have to complete our 12 months(365 days) seatime during our second year due to the Marine Departments(MARDEP) requirement.I was offered my cadetship program by Orkim Ship Management Sdn.Bhd.I was ordered to report on the 29th of September 2017 at Bintulu anchorage.The vessel MT.ORKIM CHALLANGER  was just a pure beauty stretching up to 120m an capable of carrying 10 000 tons of product oil.

This picture was taken by my botswain(bosun) a week after i was onboard.The bosun was just the best.He is an indonesian named Januardi.The first thing he told  me when i boarded the ship was "If you're willing to ask and you are curious,i'm ready to teach".I was tailing him for most of the time for the first few months,he didn't hesistate to answer my questions.

source:PHONE

The person behind me carrying a bag with the white t-shirt is my Chief Mate.He's from Malacca.His name is Mohd.Nazri.He has been in the field for more than 40 years and he has been a chief officer for more than 25 years.He's rough sometimes but a cool officer you can ever get.He is an asset to the company to be honest.He always urges me to learn things and not forgetting the part where he'll also remind me to clean  the galley and laundry room.YES,i'm a CADET.The best part of my onboard training was i got the chance to go for docking with him.

These pictures were taken at the shipyard.We docked at PaxOcean shipyard which was situated at Tuas,Singapore.During docking i learned alot from both the ship and dock personnel.It was a hectic 3 weeks at the shipyard.I had the chance to study more about my ship and also her inner structure for example the double bottom,ballast tanks,cargo tanks and etc.My chief mate ordered me to follow him the whole time during dock which gave me a wider scope of job and ample of  knowledge.We use to work from 0800 hours to 1900.The fun always starts after we're done with our jon because my chief officer and my captain wiill always bring  me to shore for dinner and lepak(chillin in malaysian slang).They always fed me well and bought me thing that i wanted.That's the BEUTY of being a cadet.My life onboard had ups and downs but the crew onboard made me not to realise hoe fast the time flew.13 months just passed by like the river or the sea in my case.My onboard journey came to an end.I thanked everyone onboard for all the knowledge they gave me.Always remember,never forget where you first started.NEVER
