Animal Week : Giant Panda



"Giant Panda"

31 July Saturday - Black and White

WE all know about this beautiful and cute creature , how can we not know ? It is so damn cute and has a unique look to them , most of all , they are threatened but measures haven been taken to save this animal from the cold hard hands of extinction.

The Giant Panda is a bear native to central-western and south western China.It is easily recognized by its large, distinctive black patches around the eyes, over the ears, and across its round body.The giant panda is a carnivore but 99% of it's diet consists of bamboo eating.Other parts of its diet include honey, eggs, fish, yams, shrub leaves, oranges, and bananas when available.

The Giant Panda lives in a few mountain ranges in central China, mainly in Sichuan province, but also in the Shaanxi and Gansu provinces.Farmings and deforestation has destroyed their homes in the lowlands , they were driven into the highlands in hopes for new place to live.Imagine , your home destroyed and you would be forced to live somewhere else.


The Giant Panda is a conservation reliant endangered species.A 2007 report shows 239 Giant Pandas living in captivity inside China and another 27 outside the country.Some say that there are currently 1590 individuals living in the wild , while a 2006 study via DNA analysis estimated that this figure could be as high as 2,000 to 3,000.Some reports stated that the population of giant pandas are on the rise but they don't have any certainty yet to reclassify the species from Endangered to Vulnerable.

While the dragon has historically served as China's national emblem, in recent decades the Giant Panda has also served as an emblem for the country.Its image appears on a large number of modern Chinese commemorative silver, gold, and platinum coins. Though the Giant Panda is often assumed to be docile, it has been known to attack humans, presumably out of irritation rather than predation.





Ops my pencil is broken , PANDAS.

Animal Week : Horses



"Horses"


29 July Thursday - Horses

The horse is a hooved mammal and a subspecies of the Equidae.The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature into the large, single-toed animal of today. Humans began to domesticate horses around 4000 BCE , their domestication seems to be widespread during 3000 BCE.Even though horses are now domesticated , there are still endangered species out there.Feral horses are common in the wild , grazing through the fields like angels.They are beautiful animals , their manes and tails are magnificent.I want to ride on them one day.

Horses's anatomy enables them to move quickly and make use of their great speed to escape from predators.They have a well sense of balance and flight to flight instincts.Flight to flight instinct is general discharge of nervous system , priming the animal for fleeing or fighting.In order to escape threat much efficiently , horses could sleep while standing up and lying down.Female horses, called mares, carry their young for approximately 11 months, and a young horse, called a foal, can stand and run shortly following birth.They reach adulthood by 5 years old and have 20-25 years of lifespan.


Horses are divided into categories , "hot bloods" and "cold bloods"."Hot bloods" are more based on speed and endurance , "cold bloods" , such as ponies and draft horses are more suitable for slow and heavy work."Warmbloods" are technically a crossover breeding of "hot bloods" and "cold bloods" , mainly focus on breeding for specific riding purposes , particularly in Europe. There are over 300 breeds of horses in the world today, developed for many different uses.


Horses and humans interact in a wide variety of sport competitions and non-competitive recreational pursuits, as well as in working activities such as police work, agriculture, entertainment, and therapy.Horses were used for warfare , we seen horses charging into battle with valiant lancer knights on their back in video games and movies.Riding and driving techniques were developed in order to increase the efficiency of using horses for transportation.Many products are derived from horses, including meat, milk, hide, hair, bone, and pharmaceuticals extracted from the urine of pregnant mares.Humans provide domesticated horses with food, water and shelter, as well as attention from specialists such as veterinarians and farriers.

Animal Week : Crocodile



"Crocodiles"


27 July Tuesday - Ngom Ngom

A crocodile is any species belonging to the family Crocodylidae.Crocodiles tend to live in freshwater , like rivers , lakes , wetlands and brackish waters.They feed mostly on vertebrates like fish, reptiles, and mammals, sometimes on invertebrates like mollusks and crustaceans, depending on species.Lets just say they just don't eat vegetables !! Crocodiles are ancient animals , they lived past the ages of extinction of the dinosaurs.They survived until today , evolved and fit for the modern environment.Crocodiles have large teeth and jaw , able to grab and kill his victim or prey in a matter of minutes.They have the best bite force in the animal kingdom , a bite force more than 5000 pounds per square inch !!!

Crocodiles are ambush hunters , they hide and wait.If the time comes , it would strike and pull away his victim into eternal darkness.They are like living traps , killing and pulling you when you least expected.They are cold blooded predators , means they would have slower metabolism and could live without eating food for a long period of time.

Despite being slow , crocodiles are top predators of their environment.They could even go toe-to-toe with Sharks !!! Crocodiles tend to have a symbiotic relationship with Egyptian Plover.According to reports , the plovers feed on parasites living inside the jaws of crocodiles.They help the crocodiles to clean and chew off bits and parasites of the crocodiles' jaws.

Many large crocodilians swallow stones (called gastroliths or stomach stones) which may act as ballast to balance their body or assist in crushing food , similar to grit in birds.Imagine us swallowing stones for better digestion , we might as well die later on but crocodiles don't so its okay for them.Crocodiles don't have sweat glands , they often release heat my opening their jaws during when they are sleeping and they would sometimes also pant like dogs.Crocodiles are said to have homing instincts.Three crocodiles were relocated to Northern Australia , these three crocodiles moved back to their original home within three weeks.

Larger species of crocodiles are very dangerous and could pose a serious threat against us.Their ability to strike us before we could even react is their deadly strategy.The Nile Crocodile and The Saltwater Crocodile are among the most dangerous species , killing hundreds in south east Asia and Africa.American Crocodiles are less aggressive and rarely attacks humans or uses any provocations towards humans.


Crocodile leather can be made into briefcases , purses , wallets , belts , bags and many others.Their meat is also edible.








Ops my pencil is broken , beautiful creatures !

Animal Week : Dolphins


"Dolphins !"


26 July Monday - Dolphins are awesome !

Dolphins are marine mammals , not fish.Most people thought they are fishes , they do look like fishes but they are actually mammals.Sharks are fishes but Dolphins are not fishes since Dolphins breath by using their lungs and Sharks breath by using their gills.There are almost forty species of dolphins in the seventeen genera.They are found anywhere !!! Mostly shallow seas , they are carnivores.

Dolphins are the most intelligent animals in the world , their friendly appearance and playful nature attracts humans.Their traits made them popular among human culture.Dolphins are often regarded as one of Earth's most intelligent animals, though it is hard to say just how intelligent.Compared to many other animals in the world , dolphins have been studied extensively on their social behavior both in the wild and in the captivity.

Dolphins live by pods.Pods are like groups of dolphins forming and living together.Sometimes , pods can be merged with other pods to form super pods.Super pods often have about 1000 dolphins in them.This proves dolphins are very social animals.Individuals communicate using a variety of clicks, whistles and other vocalizations. They make ultrasonic sounds for echolocation.They are like radio waves , transmitting to each other in order to communicate and to express themselves towards each other.We humans use our mouths , they use ultrasonic sounds.

Dolphins often talk to each other inside pods.Remember , they are highly social animals so them interchanging is not really a surprise thought.Dolphins can establish strong bonds for each other.They would stay and protect with the ill and injured.They would even help sick dolphins to breathe by bringing them up to the ocean surface.Dolphins tend to play with each other too.

Dolphins are known to have sex for reasons other than reproduction, sometimes also engaging in homosexual behavior.Even animals can be gay and lesbians , not that I got a problem with homosexuals.I respect them just like any other out there , they are just people with a different way of life and we must respect their choice.Sexual encounters in dolphins can be violent , the male dolphins sometimes would be aggressive towards both males and females.Also , they would also show sexual behaviors towards human lol.

Generally, dolphins sleep with only one brain hemisphere in slow-wave sleep at a time, thus maintaining enough consciousness to breathe and to watch for possible predators and other threats.They are like CCTVS , but sleeping and could beat you up lol.In captivity , dolphins sleep with both of their eyes close.Maybe they thought it was safe being inside a cage.

Dolphins have a lot of threats.Bigger predators like sharks and killer whales tend to feed on dolphins.Dolphins are also vulnerable to parasitic attacks and diseases.Humans are also hunting dolphins and sometimes killed them by mistake when using various fishing methods.Its our job to save these animals , they are beautiful animals and should be protected.Fortunately , there are organizations all around the world dedicated to protect dolphins from the verge of extinction.

2010 Chinese Orchestra



"Chinese Orchestra"

25 July Sunday - Awesome Night

Yesterday , me and my family went on a trip to Tian Hou Gong.Tian Hou Gong is a temple , its been long since I went to a temple with such size and esteem.There was a Chinese Orchestra held during that day , the orchestra team was from my primary school - Lee Rubber.Lee Rubber is by far the best primary school in my area , well thats my opinion but maybe others have different opinions.

I don't like the seatings though , people with normal tickets were only allowed to sit at the back parts of the hall.The hall was quite big for a temple hall , there are two floors of hall.Kinda look like those opera houses we seen in Europe , some little balconies on the second floor.The second floor was off limits , only employees are allowed up there.Most of them were from film companies filming for something something lol.

I found myself walking around the area in the darkness just to take pictures during the orchestra.There were four lanes , I stayed off the middle two ones because I don't have the guts to venture into them.I used the far right and left side lanes for picture taking.Obviously , my camera is not made for long range optimal performance.Thats why sometimes I need to get closer.One of my friends was helping out the Orchestra , her name is "See Yee San".Don't know if you know her though lol.

The orchestra was amazing , I can't believe students were able to perform like that.It seems hardwork and determination really does pay off.They hired professionals during some acts.The grand finale of the first half was amazing with an epic feeling to it.Yes , the word "Epic" is over used but that moment certainly fit the word "Epic" or maybe I am just inexperienced in watching orchestra haha.

School Gardening



"Old Macdonald Had A Farm"


25 July Saturday - I am a Farmer

Saturday was the day when me and some other guys went to school to help with the little garden in our school.It was the second time our Biology teacher conducted a gardening activity , I did not went to the first one.I got there in the morning , about 8.30am.Jia Hui and Ron got there earlier before I did.Our Biology teacher arrived not too long later , she instructed us to take out paints out of her car and carry it to the garden.There were fences that haven't been fully painted yet , our job was to paint those fences with yellow paint.

Me and Jia Hui painted the outer surface of the fences , the inner surface were the hardest so we did the outer first.The reason why the inner surface was the hardest is because theres plant all around the area.We can't squat down properly without destroying the plants.There were alot of hard to paint spots too so it was kind of a challenge.Ron went to gardening and goofed around the scene , it is common for him to do that haha.After a while , Ron traded positions with me.I went to gardening and he went to painting.

Gardening is fun , but I accidentally destroyed two or three corn plants without realizing they were corn plants .They looked like long grasses which I was suppose to get rid off.After destroying the surrounding grasses , I gave manure to every single plant in the garden.The manure has a mix of droppings from different animals.It had a bad smell.The girls were creating banners and signs for the garden.

It was 12.00 , we went home earlier because we came earlier.The others came by 10 am , Syahir and some other guys continue our work when we left home.Before getting home , I took alot of goofy pictures of Ron.Visit my photo album ~

Friday The 23rd !!!



"Jason's Here"

23 July Friday - You know Friday the 13th , Friday the 23rd.Eh ? Get my joke ? No ? Never mind.

This Friday was a ride ! Lets start the story but reviewing this morning.When I got up , I thought it was 5am in the morning.I went to brush my teeth and wash my face.After that , I found out that it was 4am.So , I spent my time staring at my radioactive computer while feeling sleepy which is a common morning sleep inertia.I would like to share you this wonderful song , I found this a few months ago during morning.It is one of my fav songs among my collections , it is One Republic's Come Home.



I went to school later.After reaching school , I came upon the site where the headless cat died.It was days ago when the cat's corpse was still there.It had it's head during Monday but on Wednesday , it's head got destroyed into crumbles.It was disgusting and I can see it's inside which was kinda awesome now that I am thinking about it.Might be a forensic scientist , cutting dead bodies for good purposes.

During Chemistry class , me and my friends were talking about the Chinese Zodiac and Horoscopes.I am an Aries and I found out that Aries is really compatible with Sagittarius and Leo , too bad she isn't both of them.But this is just horoscope , you don't need to believe it and neither do it need to believe in you.My Chinese Zodiac is a dog obviously , almost everyone I know is a "dog".I am not calling them a dog , it's their Chinese Zodiac.The muslim students today have a Ceramah , I don't what it is about but I am pretty sure it is about their religion.We spent the 3rd and fourth period doing homeworks and looking at old photos that my friend brought to school today.The days when I was in primary were awesome.

The last period of the day , Moral.Me and my friend directed another drama , we created it in just 15 minutes.It has the reference of the story I wrote long ago , it's name is "Daddy".We got a good response from the audience from the class.Ron acted better than I expected , acting as the daddy.

Ops my pencil is broken , see ya.

Whippy Dash



"Run Man Run"


21 July Wednesday - Tuxedo's Galore

Today was one freaking tiring day , ran around the whole school.Let me tell you about my little expedition.I was in class , minding my own business then suddenly a girl came to our class and told me that Madam Jenny called for me.I went to there and she told me find a guy from 4B , I went to 4B but that guys was absent , aww.I went back and she told me to find some other guy and check if the computer classroom is available or not.The computer classroom was locked but I found the guy and escorted him back.

Just right when I got there , teacher told me to camp at the class and wait for the students to come back since she and some other guy were going to the office so she needs me to stay there to keep an lookout.A student from 4H came and asked me if I could be his friend , I was shocked lol.I never met someone who says "Hey lets be friends".Out of boredom , I picked up trashes lying on the floor.I was surprise how dirty and messy it was , if thats messy then how is Peralihan's class ? They always get the Dirtiest Class Award , I think it is going to look like something out of a nightmare.

Not long later , my teacher got back along with the student from before.She asked me to find the keys for the computer room.I went everywhere but I can't find the keys for the computer room.Each teacher me and the student asked was sending us around like circles.We were completely in daze.Luckily Puna  Wong let us use the Ketua Bidang computer but it can't open the file we wanted to open.I can't tell you whats the file is for haha.We went to the Bilik Kaunselling's computer but to no avail.My teacher finally gave up and told us to return to our classes.

Rough haha

Ops my pencil is broken , tired

Teeth Galore



"Evil Dentist"


20 July Tuesday - I don't like the dentist

Oh god , that dentist is drilling that patient's teeth or mouth or throat or bla bla bla.Either the dentist is an evil madman or he is trying to get something very powerful out of his mouth.Whatever it is the results would be UGLY and maybe disgusting , mostly disgusting lol.I don't like the dentist , I don't hate the person just that I hate what the person is going to do towards me.They have sharp objects and clinical smelly instruments , makes me nervous you know ?

I just got my teeth cleaned today ! A girl came to my class and told me to go to the Bilik Kesihatan , the nurse needs me there so that she could clean my teeth.I went through this process before during when I was Form 2 , they cleared the spaces between my tooths.It is not painful , rather discomfort.After the cleaning process , I found myself licking my teeth almost all the time ! I brush my teeth everyday , guess I wasn't trying hard enough haha.
