Malaysia Penguins

My love for animals have no boundaries. I read from Berita Harian today that Two Rockhopper penguin chicks were hatched at Underwater World Langkawi (UWL) in Malaysian Sunday and Tuesday, the national news agency Bernama reported on Thursday.

The chicks, measuring 47 cm high, weighing three kilograms and sporting a crest, were healthy, said UWL in a statement on Thursday.

At UWL, Rockhopper penguins build nests in an open space unlike African penguins which build nests using three branches and corals.

The Rockhopper penguins originate from Tristan de Cunha islands, South Africa. The first batch of 19 penguins arrived here in December, 2003.

The hatching of two Rockhopper penguins are UWL's second success after it successfully bred and hatched 11 African penguins last year.

UWL senior curator Tan Ean Kok said over 7.2 million people had visited UWL since it started operations in August, 1995 and the success of hatching penguin chicks was expected to draw more visitors.

The Rockhopper penguin, is a small, aggressive, crested penguin. These penguins are called "rockhoppers" because they jump from rock to rock. Although these flightless birds used to be hunted for their oil, they are now protected. They have a life span of over 10 years.

Hope we could bread more animals in the future.

Hari Raya Aidil Fitri October 2007 - Mak Long's House

We celebrated Hari Raya this year a bit different from past Raya. We celebrate it starting from Mak Long's house at Ampang Ulu Kelang. Mak Long did Ketupat and Lodeh, Rendang and our famous family recipe Ayam Masak Ketumbar. Delicious.
This year Shareen and Zam is not around as they celebtared it at Terengganu. Suhaimi, Adik, Irwan, Suhaila, Badri, Kak Non, Che Ezanee, Wira, Kak Yak and MakTok and not forgetting the rest of my nieces and nephews are around to celebrate the hustle bustle of Hari Raya.

We waited for Pak Ngah and family but it was getting late as Maktok with Suhaila and bad and family are starting their journey to Johor Bharu.

The day is full of activities for the old and also the young. Especially my nieces and nephews are happily running here and there. Not only eating their heart out because they are celebrating the end of puasa but happy to meet each other in this glorious day.
These are some of the photos taken during that day.

Breaking fast at Bangi Chicken House

We were desperate to break our fast that day. When we pass by the main road near section 8, Mady spotted the Red Advertisement " Bangi Chicken House" . So we give it a try. We were not disappointed and the matter of fact, satisfied and content. The food is good, the price reasonable and the staff hospitality are above par.
We sure will come again soon.
