New Moon Stephenie Meyer

New Moon is the Second book of Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. In this novel, the story is more about how the love between Jacob Black and Bella Swam is being built up when the Cullen leave forks. Besides, it is also an introduction of the character for the third and fourth book of Twilight series. I said so because the rise of the Quileute tribe as werewolf and their ability is being told and the ancient coven of the vampire in Volterra of Italy, Volturi is introduce to reader. The Volturi is the ancient and the strongest coven in the vampire world. They are more likely the ruler of the vampire because their coven is the strongest with almost all the vampire in the coven have special ability.

In New Moon, Edward Cullen decided to leave Bella because he feels that he will only bring danger to Bella. When the Cullen leave fork, Bella’s live change. She can’t accept the live without Edward and she found that she can hear his voice whenever she is doing something danger. Hence, Bella bought two non-function bikes and bring it to Jacob Black to fix. She believe that riding bike will make her able to hear Edward voice because it is dangerous act. This had improve her relationship with Jacob Black. When Bella try with another dangerous act which is the cliff diving, Alice Cullen who has the ability to view the future vision but unable to see vision when the werewolf Involve though that Bella commit suicide. She returns to folk to check for Bella safety. On the other hand Edward thought Bella already dead had decided to go to the Volturi and make them kill him. Alice and Bella go to the Volturi to save Edward. The Volturi let them go with the promise that Bella will be change into vampire within a year so that the secret of the vampire world is safe.

In this novel, Victoria who is the mate of the hunter, James that killed by the Cullen had return for revenge. However she is unable to penetrate the defense of the werewolf into folk for Bella. Her friend Laurent that meet Bella in the meadow while he is hunting is killed by the werewolf when he wanted to kill Bella.

As I had mention that this novel is more like a preparation for the up coming books, there are lots of characters being introduce here. The love of Jacob Black with Bella also forms a triangle in the third book.

In Kuching, you can get this book in most of the bookstore. There is also e-book to download.

Twilight Stephenie Meyer

I’m sure that many of you have already watched the movie Twilight from the novel by Stephenie Meyer. Have you read the book yet? I wonder how many people have already read the book before the movie is out. As for me, I watch the movie before I start to read the novel. This is because after watching the movie, I feel that this is an interesting novel. Hence, I when on to and get the novel.

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer contain 4 books in series. The 1st book is Twilight follow by New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. During this semester break, I have already finished all the 4 books. Very interesting novel that make me can stop to read. Well, actually there’s another book name Midnight Sun which is about the 1st book, Twilight. In Midnight sun, the story is told from the point of view of Edward Cullen.

Twilight series are novel about romance and love. It is about the love story of a human and a vampire. The love for this novel is not only about the love among couple but also the love among family for such as the relationship among the family of the Cullen which is unbreakable.

The main characters are Isabella Swam (Bella) which the story is told from her point of view. Edward Cullen the mind reading vampire who fall in love with Bella. Jacob Black the warewolf that love Bella. The other members of the Cullen family are, Carlise Cullen, Esme Cullen, Emmett Cullen, Alice Cullen, Rosalie Hale and Jasper Hale. Charlie Swam and Renee who are Bella parent that already divorce.

In the 1st book, Twilight the story is about Bella who move to folk and stay with her father so that her mother can travel with her new husband meet Edward Cullen and his family who are vampire. Bella started curious about the identity of the Cullen when Edward Cullen stop the car from crushing her with his hand in a lightning speed. She get the cruel from her friend Jacob Black that tell her the legend of his tribe Quileutes and the Cullen Family who in the legend known as the Cold One. However, when Bella found out the truth about the Cullen, she does not scare but fall in love with Edward. The story comes to an end when the hunter, James and his mate Victoria wanted to hunt Bella but kill by the Cullen. Victoria had escape.

After reading this novel, there’s only one part that I’m disappointed with that is the fight between Edward Cullen and James. Well, seem this is a love and romance novel, it is understood that the fight between them is not a necessary to be emphasis. Beside, seem the story is told from the point of view of Bella, the moment Edward arrives to save her, she is already unconscious and her head is burning so she did not see the fight like in the movie. However I personally feel that it will be more interesting and excited if the fight is being described.

In Kuching, you can get this book in most of the book store. If you want E-book, you can download it from net too.

Golden Toad

Have you ever seen this before? A Toad carries another small little toad on the back. What are they doing? When I see this, I think the small toad is the male toad while the big one is the female toad and they are prepare for making. This is just my guess anyway.

However, another thought come into my mind when I saw this is that I need to bet for MEGA in Toto Sport. This is because the color of the toad is something like gold color. The big toad is carrying the small toad which symbolizes as the big toad is carrying gold and come into my house. YES!! This means that I’m going to strike tonight. I do hope so. Wish me luck!!

Koo Kien Keat in Sudirman Cup 2009

Yesterday was the semi-final of Sudirman cup and Malaysia meets China. Malaysia lost to china with the result of 3-0 is what we Malaysian don’t wish to see. Furthermore, I personally don’t wish to see Lee Chong Wei lost to Lin Dan but it happen yesterday. Anyway Malaysia team already try their best and performed well in the competition.

What I discuss here is the sportsmanship of Koo Kien Keat. I think all of us that watch the match yesterday noticed that Koo Kien Keat show middle finger to his racket during the match with China. Although he did not point this to the opponent but to a non living thing which is his racket but it is still not what a professional athlete should do in international stage. All his action is capture by all the camera there and the competition is live for people all over the world to watch and yet he dare to do such action. However, I understand his motive to release his emotion and during the match, sometimes emotion is hard to control.

Jabatan KerJa Raya Kuching

Jabatan Kerja Raya Kuching (JKR) is not a place new to me. The Picture above show the JKR Kuching division office which located at Batu Lintang Kuchig, There lots of department here and now I’m having my industry training in the electrical department. As we all know that most of the government projects are out source to other private company, hence there’s nothing much for me to do or even to learn in this department. My 1st week in JKR has just pass and my life in JKR is totally free plus boring but I did not regret about the decision to do training here because it is in Kuching and near my house. That is the priority I’m looking for when I choose my training place. I receive the accept letter from Nexus Resort Karambunai in Kota Kinabalu but I wanted to came back to Kuching more than in Kota Kinabalu. There are still 8 week for me here and I believe that no matter how there will still have something for me to do and learn in JKR.

This is just the division office in Kuching. The head quarter of JKR is in Wisma Saberkas which I will have my training there on my 5th or 6th week. The division office is not big. Pictures below show the area of the division office.

This place is not new to me even though this is the first time I having my Training here. Why I said so? This is because when I’m still in form 2 and form 3, I used to come here once or twice or few times a week. During that time, the JKR basketball court is still open to public. Hence I used to come here with my friend. The condition of the basketball court here is well maintained compare to the public basketball court.

The other reason we choose to come here is that my friend, Crazyfool 's house is just next to the basketball court which is the main reason we come here. Let me zooms the picture so that the house can be view clearly. Do you notice there’s only a fence as the border of the house and the basketball court? During that time, the fence was not in this good condition, so we use to climb over the fence to the basketball court. Those times were really fun. However when JKR stop the public for using the basketball court, they rebuild the fence. Starting from that day, we did not go to that basketball court anymore. Furthermore, we seldom play basketball because there is a new activity that we had attracted to, COUNTER STRIKE. Hence, starting from that day, we spend more time in cyber café than playing basketball.

Times really pass fast and those times are only memories for us. Really miss those times.

Dry Market Kota Kinabalu

Every semester end before I go back to Kuching from Kota Kinabalu, there is a place in Kota Kinabalu that I must visit. Or I should say that every time before I got back from Kota Kinabalu to Kuching, there is a place that I must pay a visit. It is just a dry market call “ Pasar Ikan Masin” located in the centered of the Kota Kinabalu Town. If I’m not mistaken, this place consider as the Filipino Market.

What so special about this market? Well, it is a place where you can buy fish’s air bladder 鱼鳔, sea cucumber, dry scalloped, salty fish咸鱼, and other dry product. Fish’s air bladder and sea cucumber is what we Chinese like to buy as a gift when you go one place. However this is not for my case because it is my grandma that wanted me to buy those foods.

Fish Air Bladder 鱼鳔, Do you know how to value the grade? I’m not pro in this, all I know is the ticker it is, the best it will be. So I always look for the thick one. The type of fish is also the factor for the quality but I not sure that which type of fish give the best fish’s bladder.

Sea Cucumber, Various size of sea cucumber you can find here. The bigger it is the higher the price

The price in this market is reasonable. The advantage of buying thing here is that you can bargain. If you are gifted with the talent of bargain or you equip with a good bargain skill, for sure you can get a cheaper price. As for me, I don’t have those skills, but somehow the price I get still consider cheap if compare to the price in Kuching. Hence, if you like to buy all those dry product, you must not miss this place when you visit Kota Kinabalu.

Next to the dry market is the fruit market and the handicraft market. The picture below shows the fruit's market. Most of the time you will find mangoes sold here.

Bug in Dota 6.59b invisible frog

The invisible frogs in 6.59b, I wonder how many people have already try it when playing online in GG or in cyber. This bug can help you earn extra fast money. So there is no problem of winning the game. However, this map already out dated seem now there’s already have 6.59d. I wonder how many of you have played game with bug but you do not know they are exist? I still remember that I meet this situation once, the bug was on the syllabear where it can earn extra item by killing the bear. I played on GG and the opponent team got a syllabear. Of course I don’t know there is bug so for me, I still though that the person really pro because he earn fast although he had been slay for a few times. As a result we lost the game due to the extra fat syllabear. When look back the replay… then I know what is really happen. Anyway that just a game, so lost or win does not bring any meaning. Just feel a bit dissatisfaction of losing in that way.

One more subject to go before my final exam end, can’t wait till that day!!
