WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE?

I received an email the other day that I would like to share with the readers. This email was titled "Whats your excuse?" and consisted of pictures of Muslims doings the solat at strange places and even at a disadvantage, they didn't use it as an excuse but still perform the solat at an uncomfortable condition. We should look at this as a motivation to perform the solat especially those that are always comfortable.





























Have you done the Solat today?

Fishing Memories 2003

After the last fishing trip, I started to adore fishing again and lately, I keep thinking about my old fishing memories that had brought me many types of feelings. Fishing has given me the taste of freedom, satisfaction, enjoyment, besides showing me my worst nightmare when were stuck in a storm or very windy sea condition and frustration on an unsuccessful fishing trip. Here are some of my fishing memories.


This picture was taken when the three of us, Zam (raincoat) - a teacher in Kapit, Pijan (life jacket) - a staff at Kuching General Hospital and I entered a fishing competition organized by Semariang Anglers in 2003. They might look happy and cool in the picture, but actually we have just when through a big storm a couple of hour before that and during the storm was the worst fishing condition I have ever felt. That fishing trip had made me thought whether I would come back alive or wouldn't come back at all and the storm was one of the scariest moment in my life.


This is the mount of Santubong taken from a fishing spot called 'Submarine'. Since that we only manage to catch two Sting Ray until the morning and was caught is the storm for about 3 hours, we tried our luck at this place that are sometimes catchy in the morning.


And this is me, still very skinny and pale looking. If you have read my profile, maybe you'll understand why I'm so skinny during that year. That was a nice morning, just look at the cool weather.


This were the sting ray that we manage to catch at Batu Mandi the evening before. Which was a couple of hours before the storm. I think that was all our catch during the fishing trip.


Notice the person still fighting with the fish in front of the boat. What a wonderfull feeling.

Walk Around Spring Shopping Complex

Its the fourth time we've been to The Spring shopping complex and it sure has made us feel like we're out of Kuching. The real motive of going there was to meet a friend but we also done some shopping and also some window shopping. There was also a promotion of good friday and we took the oppoturnity to visit the promotion area to enjoy ourselves.


This was the area of the promotion in the shopping complex.



Abiey grab the change to take a picture with a big teddy bear that was there. Since she doesn't have a teddy that big, a picture with it was enough she said.




This were the easter bunnies.





And here is both of us playing around in the shopping complex, trying to find ourselves some nice time. I could not stop laughing after taking the picture. And is still when I see it.

Gone Fishing

Once in a while, I love to go fishing at sea, which is normally at areas with depth from 20ft to 90ft of water. This places is not consider deep sea fishing yet as normally, deep sea is considered to be deeper than 100ft and is usually far away from land, until we couldn't see any. Here are some pictures that I took when we were on our way to the fishing spot, I only manage to take the departure pictures as my Nokia 5610 battery is low when we were on our way home.







I was actually trying to capture the beach picture but it ended up like this. Quite nice though, for a 5610 camera in a shaky situation.



The above picture is the 'Batu Mandi of Lakir', which means Bathing Stone at Lakir Island. I don't know why people call them bathing stone. I found it quite strange as nobody goes there to bath. I usually only see anglers fishing there for groupers (Kerapu) size at around 500g and heavier. I fish there for a couple of times, but only in good whether as I don't want our boat to get smash by the stones. Its usually a place for anglers as a last try on a disappointed fishing trip as they can easily catch small groupers here.



This is the last picture that I took that day before it started to get dark, the sun set. Its far more beautiful in real life than in the picture.

I wanted to take pictures of the fish that I caught that fishing trip but my camera was out. Altogether, I manage to catch 6 jenahak (red fish) and 2 baracuda.
