Hi, Welcome to my Den, this site is about things I love to do. I love to be near to nature, naturally I also love outdoor activities ....

The purpose of life is a life of purpose. ~Robert Byrne
A life without cause is a life without effect. ~Barbarella


So .... my cause, my purpose of life would be: 

1. Scuba diving - I wish to dive all the most well known dive sites in South East Asia for now.
2. Photography - Nature, Landscape, Macro and Travel, I love to pick up Street and Abstracts too
3. Backpack traveling to exotic Asian countries - I wish to visit all SEA countries for now especially UNESCO sites
4. Hiking mountains & Trekking forests & Waterfalls - I wish to complete G12 in my lifetime, no rush

I feel that life is really short, our time here is limited, and so we should take charge of our own lives, to make full use of our potentials and live life to the fullest. We should not live our lives under the fear of failure, cultural influences, parental and societal expectations, peer pressure, etc. If we do not take charge of our life, then someone else like your boss, friends or even your parents will have a plan for you. And you will probably fall in somebody else’s plan. Remember, you only live once. If Armageddon should come tomorrow; dare to say “I have no regrets, I have lived and done it all” …. are you able to say that today?
 
 


                               
 


                                                                       Quotes I like:
- To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries. ~Aldous Huxley
- When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money. ~Susan Heller
- The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see. ~G.K. Chesterton
- A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. ~Lao Tzu
- No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow. ~Lin Yutang
- It is not down in any map; true places never are. ~Herman Melville
- Travelers never think that they are the foreigners. ~Mason Cooley

- The purpose of life is a life of purpose. ~Robert Byrne
- Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets. ~Arthur Miller
- Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can. ~Danny Kaye
- Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once. ~Lillian Dickson
- My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can. ~Cary Grant
- My grandfather always said that living is like licking honey off a thorn. ~Louis Adamic
- When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me." ~Erma Bombeck

- The difficulties of life are intended to make us better, not bitter.
- When you are feeling the worst, that’s when you get to know yourself the best.
- A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out
- People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridge.
- If we are incapable of finding peace in ourselves, it is pointless to seek elsewhere.
- The only way to avoid being miserable is not to have enough leisure to wonder whether you are happy or not.

你记得吗我曾试探着对你讲
将来一定会把你娶回家
赚很多钱给你花
你当时红着脸低着头跑回家
很长时间再也没有和我说话
你记得吗我们一起玩攀崖
为了不让你受惊吓
我不小心磕破了下巴
看着你心痛的模样
我觉得自己很伟大
我知道你怕吃辣
喜欢喝珍珠奶茶
我知道你怕别人说闲话
才会故意到离家很远的地方和我玩
我知道你怕惹麻烦
才会违背心愿地跟我装傻
我是一个真正的男子汉
不会让你担惊受怕... more

Hi thanks for your comment... We were looking for other's experience on Tenggol when we chance upon your website. We happened to share the same background and you are right, your website gave some inspiration that we should brushed up ours too.. One thing is that your pictures are much much professional and nice than my. Would you like to have one extra student? Yours, Lydia
