Turtles Management Centre


The Padang Kemunting Hawksbill Turtles Management Center is located somewhere near Pangkalan Balak at the beach along the Straits of Malacca. There is a hatchery center where eggs of the Hawksbill turtles are collected and taken good care till they are hatched. There is an exhibition hall too and the center is open to public from Tuesday to Sunday from 10.00am-4.00pm.

turtle's eggs are buried and incubated here

date and number of eggs are labeled

It takes 50-60 days for the turtles' eggs to hatch.


In the evening, around 6pm, we were invited to release the baby turtles back to the sea. I was really touched by the scene when the little creatures squirmed their way heading towards the sea. It's such an amazing scene..........

Kuala Rompin

Kuala Rompin is the gateway to the fantastic Endau-Rompin State Park as well as the sea gateway to the Tioman Islands. Seafood lovers would better visit this place in the months of September and October, especially for lobsters.

A visit to the orchard

It's fruit season, I was invited to a durian farm this time. Went to the farm with my sister, younger brother and his family as well as a few colleagues this morning.

Compared to the dragon fruit farm we visited previously, the durian farm seemed much messier and dirty. There were lots of mosquitoes kept 'attacking' the kids till my colleague's boy became
very much irritated and kept making noise...

The so-called durian farm was more like a duku-langsat farm as there were more duku-langsat plants in the farm rather than durian plants. There were also a few rambutan plants and longkong plants. As the durian season is coming to the end, we could hardly find more durian hanging on the tree.

The duku-langsat plants were all grown with lots of fruits, they were so sweet and juicy. Both children and adults enjoyed the freshest fruits really much.

mangosteens

Before leading back home, we had also went to buy some mangosteens. The mangosteen vendor gave us some ripe bananas, they were so many of them till I was thinking of asking the monkeys to help us to finish them.

Root of all the mess...

Many of us here may have already read this or this!

All of a sudden, I feel really tired of the endless accusations, allegations, declarations, revelations etc...
Something has gone wrong with the politics of this country, and everything seems out of control now, and where is the root of all the mess which is getting messier and messier day after day?

It's the bad harvest from all the wicked and evil deeds accumulated some times ago?
And the present government is suffering from the growing and spreading of the cancerous problems caused by the evil seeds planted?!

Just too tired to talk about the politics here...

Politics

I was reminded that I haven't been updating my blog for quite some times...

I was rather busy recently, busy with school works, housechores and some other activities involved...
In fact, I had also spent lots of times going after the dramatic politics news everyday... Lots of unbelievable, bewildering, exciting, confusing and explosive events are exposed or revealed almost everyday...
I do not know when will all these excitement and confusion that caused by the politicians among the people of this country will come to an end!

And no matter how is the politics show going to end, I believe that we are all looking forward to a government that really cares the interest of the people and the development of the country!

Let's pray for the wisdom of our politicians and peace for our country!

Hatred


When one is overwhelmed with hatred, one will never be peace in the rest of one's life till the hatred is removed!
Hatred cannot be ceased by hatred, hatred can only be ceased by loving kindness, that's the eternal truth!

Two Different Governments

China’s Premier Mr. Wen Jia Bao soothed the children survivors of the Szechuan earthquake:

Dont cry, its a disaster, you are saved... the government will take care of you...

Millions of people from all over the world had witnessed the concerned scene and were all moved to tears...

As the leader of the country, Mr. Wen Jia Baos presence at the scene had brought the victims of the disaster and the rescue teams his greatest support. He had also assured the victims that the government cares about them, and is always with them...

In another country, Myanmar, where the cyclone hit victims are still living in hell and thousands of children are at deaths door due to the selfishness of their cruelest government, lots of aids from many other countries are trying to reach the victims, while the government that suppose to take care of the people are trying its ways to block the helping hands from stretching to the victims of the country!

I just couldnt imagine how a government could ignore thousands of its peoples lives like this! Compared to the cyclone victims, though thousands of the earthquake victims in Szechuan had lost their homes and their beloved ones, but, they still have the government that gives them hope and energy, and so many people from all over the world that care and support them.

Feeling really sad for the people in Myanmar! Many countries are still making great effort to try to get the aids to reach the victims who are still starving and suffering after the cyclone. With the effort made, hopefully the victims will be saved from starvation and diseases, and will be able to rebuild their home soon!

Lets pray for the victims of the disasters of both the countries...
