The Great Of Niah Cave

On the east side of Sarawak, near Brunei, the Niah caves are conveniently located a bus ride a boat trip away from the city of Miri. In these caves, the oldest archaeological human remains in Southeast Asia are found. Moreover, the caves, decoratively located in the jungle, are home to million of bats, and it is where the bird nests are harvested for the Chinese delicacy of bird nest soup.

The first city we encounter in Sarawak is Miri. Here, we try to catch the bus to the Niah caves, but it doesn't leave for a few more hours. So we stay the night in Miri, which appears to be just another Asian town, where the Chinese run the shops, and our small hotel.

For tourists, they had to hire a boat to bring them to the headquarters of Niah Caves. The headquarters look nice. The Niah Caves are located in the jungle 3 kilometers from the park on the other side of the river. A huge cave complex appears and once inside, it gets pretty dark. With our flashlight the bas hanging from the ceiling, and the bird nests with some of the birds still on them. The tall constructions used by the locals to harvest the bird nests. These are the nests used for the Chinese bird nest soup. It is a delicacy for which the Chinese pay a lot of money. Also collected here is the guano, bat dung which is sold as fertilizer.

On the other end of the caves, in another piece of jungle, where boardwalks are leading us to the caves where rock paintings are found. At the entrance to the park is a small museum about the Niah caves. It shows the excavations made in the caves. The Niah Great Cave is the most spectacular; its vast interior has the character of a huge labyrinth, with tremendous shafts opening from the surface through the ceiling far above.

Niah Caves National Park is a lovely place to enjoy the jungle and the caves. The facilities in the head quarters are good as well. Water pours hundreds of feet down the biggest of these shafts in a dazzling spectacle. Flocks of swifts swirl overhead, their calls echoing throughout the mighty cavern. The floor is very jagged and every surface is covered with a slimy layer of guano. Small huts allow guano miners and bird's nest harvesters refuge from the constant rain of guano. Slender bamboo poles rise vertically to the ceiling, as much as 200 feet overhead; incredibly, these serve as primitive (and very dangerous) ladders for bird’s nest harvesters. ( 415 Words)

19 June 2011, was unforgettable date in my life when my friend and I was involved in an accident at KM 14, Saratok. We were on the way back from Kuching to Miri after we spent our happy weekend with our beloved family at the hometown.

Suddenly, a double cab car rammed into my friend's Hilux from the back. My friend lost control and his Hilux began skidding. It's slamming into the jungle and up to the hill. My friend screamed out and I almost fainted.

My friend's Hilux was badly damaged after been knocked down by other Double Cab car that run away after knocked our car. I am thankful for seat belts and the kindness of strangers who are willing to give a helping hands.

Advantage and disadvantages of surfing the internet

The Advantages & Disadvantages of The Internet:

The Internet or the World Wide Web is indeed a wonderful and amazing addition in our lives. The Internet can be known as a kind of global meeting place where people from all parts of the world can come together. It is a service available on the computer, through which everything under the sun is now at the fingertips of anyone who has access to the Internet.

To get ‘online’, meaning to connect to the Internet, you need to have:

• A Computer: Computer equipment is a sizeable investment and thus you should select a computer carefully. Before buying a computer, understand your needs and then choose one accordingly. See that it comes with a warranty and that after sales service is available in case you need it.
• Internet Service Provider: This is the software that you will require to get online. You can now choose from a dial-up service or 24-hour broadband services. This is the service that will help you to connect to the Internet and start your surfing experiences.

Advantages of the Internet

The Internet provides opportunities galore, and can be used for a variety of things. Some of the things that you can do via the Internet are:

• E-mail: E-mail is an online correspondence system. With e-mail you can send and receive instant electronic messages, which works like writing letters. Your messages are delivered instantly to people anywhere in the world, unlike traditional mail that takes a lot of time.
• Access Information: The Internet is a virtual treasure trove of information. Any kind of information on any topic under the sun is available on the Internet. The ‘search engines’ on the Internet can help you to find data on any subject that you need.
• Shopping: Along with getting information on the Internet, you can also shop online. There are many online stores and sites that can be used to look for products as well as buy them using your credit card. You do not need to leave your house and can do all your shopping from the convenience of your home.
• Online Chat: There are many ‘chat rooms’ on the web that can be accessed to meet new people, make new friends, as well as to stay in touch with old friends.
• Downloading Software: This is one of the most happening and fun things to do via the Internet. You can download innumerable, games, music, videos, movies, and a host of other entertainment software from the Internet, most of which are free.

Disadvantages of the Internet

There are certain cons and dangers relating to the use of Internet that can be summarized as:

• Personal Information: If you use the Internet, your personal information such as your name, address, etc. can be accessed by other people. If you use a credit card to shop online, then your credit card information can also be ‘stolen’ which could be akin to giving someone a blank check.
• Pornography: This is a very serious issue concerning the Internet, especially when it comes to young children. There are thousands of pornographic sites on the Internet that can be easily found and can be a detriment to letting children use the Internet.
• Spamming: This refers to sending unsolicited e-mails in bulk, which serve no purpose and unnecessarily clog up the entire system.

If you come across any illegal activity on the Internet, such as child pornography or even spammers, then you should report these people and their activities so that they can be controlled and other people deterred from carrying them out. Child pornography can be reported to:

• Your Internet service provider
• Local police station
• Cyber Angels (program to report cyber crime)

Such illegal activities are frustrating for all Internet users, and so instead of just ignoring it, we should make an effort to try and stop these activities so that using the Internet can become that much safer. That said, the advantages of the Internet far outweigh the disadvantages, and millions of people each day benefit from using the Internet for work and for pleasure.

Indahnya sebuah persahabatan yang dibina dengan keihklasan. Sesungguhnya bukan mudah melayari sebuah persahabatan. Kejujuran, keihklasan dan persefahaman adalah amat penting untuk menjamin persahabatan tersebut bertahan. Apatah lagi jika ada badai melanda mungkin persahabatan yang dibina akan goyah. Malah nilai yang terkandung didalamnya umpama debu berterbangan tanpa dinilai baik buruknya sebuah perpecahan. Terima Kasih buat para sahabat dan teman yang banyak memberi sokongan dan bantuan dikala aku memerlukan.

Renung-renungkan

Menelusuri hari2 yang berlalu bagaikan terlalu pantas masa berlalu. Rasanya ingin ku ulangi saat manis bersama kedua orang tuaku dan rakan-rakan yang dikasihi.. Namun apakan daya...Saat itu tak mungkin berulang kembali kecuali di alam mimpi. Ibuku...satu-satunya insan yang amat aku sayangi. Dirinya umpama sebutir permata berharga bagi diriku...Ketiadaannya membawa perubahan mendadak dalam hidupku. Terasa duniaku kosong walaupun adik beradikku berada disisi. Ayahku...insan yang telah banyak mengajarku erti disiplin diri dan berdikari...pemergianmu telah mengajar aku tentang tanggungjawab sebagai orang dewasa yang menguruskan segala beban yang ada. Aku bersyukur masih ada rakan-rakan yang memberi sokongan dan dorongan untuk aku memeruskan hidup. Walaupun masa remajaku tidak seceria dan seriang insan lain namun aku tetap menghembus nafas lega kerana tanggungjawab yang telah kedua orang tuaku amanahkan telah terlaksana. Kini aku bertambah lega bila cita2 ku telah tercapai...berkat dari kesabaran, percaya bahawa pintu rezeki telah ditetapkan oleh Allah S.W.T, doa, usaha dan sokongan rakan-rakan menjadikan aku kini bergelar seorang pendidik...Terima Kasih ayah, ibu, saudaraku-saudaraku dan rakan-rakan yang dikasihi.

Motivasi diri.

Seringkali kita lupa bahawa setiap manusia dilahirkan dengan kelebihan dan kelemahan. Sering kali kita menyalahkan takdir jika sesuatu yang buruk telah berlaku kepada kita. Sering kali juga kita menyalahkan orang lain jika datangnya musibah menimpa diri kita tanpa berfikir bahawa sebenarnya musibah itu bermula daripada kelemahan kita sendiri. Seharusnya kita berfikir dengan tenang dan sabar untuk mencari kesilapan diri dan kemudiannya berusaha untuk memperbaikinya. Allah S.W.T telah memberikan kita akal fikiran untuk berfikir secara waras dalam membuat sesuatu perkara. Namun ada kalanya kita terleka dan terlena oleh permainan duniawi menyebabkan kita tersilap langkah. Akhirnya kita sendiri yang tertewas.

Aku dan Sahabat

Samsiah dan Annie. Dua nama yang sering berada dalam ingatan ku. Pertemuan dan persahabatan kita semasa menuntut di IPG TAR menjadikan kita semakin akrab walaupun telah berpisah atas tuntutan kerjaya masinng-masing. Kalian adalah sahabat setia di kala aku susah dan senang. Banyak perkara telah kita kongsi bersama. Rasanya terlalu sukar untuk diungkapkan tentang persahabatn kita...sesungguhnya hanya kita yang tahu segalanya....
