Trip: Day 2 - End of Earth

So.. End of earth! Well, not literally anyway. But its still the end of the end. The mother of dead ends, the END OF EARTH! The southern most tip of Mainland Asia if you want specific. Now this location is at Johor and is called Tanjung Piai. Getting there requires an hour++ drive from the city of Johor Bahru, through another small town and end up on a small road leading deep into the middle of nowhere.


When we reached there, we were greeted by this HUGE rock. Man made if you were wondering but still, HUGE! We were expecting well.. truthfully, I wasn't expecting anything as the southernmost tip of asia mainland would look the same to me, everywhere....

Regardless, I shoulder on and found THIS!


Yes sir! The sign to the end of earth! Now, we were lead into a forest of trees and boy, the smell is BAD. Imagine, sea side, high tide, lots of rubbish and lots of other "things" which add up to one very strong odor which you get used to after a while. But boy is the place stuffy! Maybe because its by the seaside and we are in the middle of huge canopy of trees?

Anyway, I made my way following the road sign and reached THIS!
You see that globe right there? Yeap, thats the end of earth. Now the problem is this, as you can see from the "road" there, I highly doubt that it will sustain my weight and I am feeling particularly unbrave at the moment. So I took THAT picture and declare myself. Conquerer of the end of earth.

Thats it. End of Earth. Pretty undramatic isn't it? I would have expect something there, strong wave, huge stone outcropping. A few menacing looking statue or something. But nada, all you get is that lousy looking globe and a very dangerous looking bridge. But there is a good thing out of the trip. We had great lunch.

We had SEAFOOD! Now, within 5km of Tanjung Piai is a small fishing town called, KUKUP. The place there is bare and the houses are on water. They built it on pillars and on top of water. and they had QUITE a number of seafood restaurant there. I got to warn you though, don't drive your car into the town. If you see a HUGE BUS STATION on your left. Start looking for parking and a way to U turn as there is no road ahead. Only dead ends and sea.

Anyway, we arrived at this brilliant restaurant at the end of the town called, New Kukup Seafood. You won't miss it. Its the last shop on the last row of shops. There were 4 of us and we ordered 5 dishes and paid RM111.90 for it. Expensive? I have no idea but the food there is great! Now, I took pictures of 4 of the dishes, the 5th one was missing coz at that point, we were devouring the picture. Anyway, the dishes we ordered were

Duck egg fried bitter gourd

Fried blackpepper Crab

Duck egg fried prawn

Fried belacan clam

And the last dish, Steam Fish with sour plum. No pictures for this one. For this fabulous lunch, I have my lovely GF to thank as she spent us for it. For this, I Thank Her Here!

Trip: Day 1 -Tesla Coil

Right! As I was saying last weekend, I had a little trip to the south of Malaysia. Specifically, Singapore! Now, as any other curious and like minded intelligent people here, I visited the Singapore Science Center under strong persuasion by my lovely GF (she was pulling my ear).

My... What big mouth you have..

The visit for less of a better word. Electrifying. We arrived and got our first COOL impression of the science center when we were greeted with a roar by the resident T-Rex. After making a very good impression to us, we were quite thrilled to go in and arrived just in time for some TESLA COIL action! They had 4 demonstration of how Tesla Coil works and what it can do, I have uploaded 3 of them. One is the classic Red Alert style Tesla Coil, an exploding balloon and also power conduction! View them all below!.

Blue Forest

The rest of the trip though, is a bit... Boring... Well, what would you expect after the shocking show? The science center has too many broken machinery, most of the stuff there doesn't work. And the stuff that work is not THAT interesting.

That's a real Ferrari Enzo if you are wondering

Nevertheless, we spent nearly 5 hours there, looking through every exhibit and even manage to take picture with Ferrari Enzo, Blue Forest and various other stuff. It's bang for money the exhibit is, but I still prefer KLCC Petrosains. Theirs are a lot more fun!

My Shadow. Cool huh?

Anyway, I also went to the END OF EARTH. Literally! Find out about that in the next post!

RED ALERT!!

The power is in your hand!

First 5! Bleach: Soul Carnival

I have never had so much fun since I discovered Nintendo DS and playing all the games that has escaped me since I started working 3 years ago. Today. Today I relish back all the fun that I first had. The thrill of playing a simple hack and slash game.

Bleach: Soul Carnival is your standard platform hack and slash. Normally, any game that started off from anime/manga first then to game will only bank on their character and the availability of the easiest console it can get into. Making most if not all those game. Medicore.

With Soul Carnival though, its a totally different ball game. The game is rendered on 2D with a side scrolling action. The actions are fast paced, intense and superbly beautiful but what endears the game to me is the character. In Super Deformed body. Cute and deadly, all the characters wreak carnage across the screen with an efficency that shocks you. The game gives you a few spaces to breath in between when you started off, for the sake of newbies, but mocing slightly deeper into the game, the enemy you face will start to become a challenge. Providing an immense sense of satisfaction for newbie and hardcore player alike

There are a number of character that can be unlocked for play, unlocked character will also provide support with the use of easy to remember combo command. Considering that the game is in japanese, there might be some difficulty for most gamer to get into. but do not let that turn you off as what you essentially need to know is explained in the tutorial which has graphical instruction. Couple that with your own iniative on understanding what the game tries to stay. You will still have one hell of a time playing the game.

I would say this is a really MUST GET and IMPORT FRIENDLY game. I for one is having one ball of a time with this game.

Weekend trip!

I just got home from a trip over the weekend and these trip have been one of the more interesting trip that I have made but won't be the last of it. I will tell you more about it now but I am dead tired and still feeling sick from last weeks sore throat but just a hint of where I have been, here is what greeted me at the first location I went to.

MPH Warehouse Sales

So MPH is having this warehouse sales over at their warehouse (duh). I like their warehouse sales, they will always load in all the good books there and not only the old books. But new ones too. Some of the title that I manage to get are

The Children of Hurin by J.R.R Tolkien HARDCOVER for only RM25
Magician: Apprentice by Raymond E. Feist for only RM10
The Adventure of Indiana Jones for RM15
and the most expensive one,
How Starbucks Saved My Life by Michael Gill for RM26


All this total up to no more than RM66. HALF the price if I were to purchase 4 of the same book at any other bookstore. If you guys have time over this weekend, head over to

Ground Floor Warehouse

Bangunan TH

MPH Warehouse

NO 5 Jalan Bersatu 13/4

Petaling Jaya

Its very simple to get there, if you are coming from PJ, head to Rothman roundabouts, turn into the junction across from the hotel and beside the newspaper factory. (The road heading towards the Mosque and Digital mall). Then keep going until you hit a second junction beside Colgate Palmolive on your left. You won't miss the junction as a HUGE banner indicating the warehouse sale is there. Then just go straight untill you hit a jam/lots of car/lots of people.

MPH warehouse is on your right.
