Super Senses


How do these insect perceive the world? With feather, bird can see the world more clearly than us.....Dog lives in the world that dominated by smell, its sense of smell far more acute than us...Compare with other animal, our senses are cruelly less. For many animals, extra senses are reality.... The sixth sense

Flight is a very amazing skill to me. If i can fly, my first attempt will definitely rounding the earth. But how do i navigate my self back to my home or some where specific ? GPS ? Is a big problem......For migrating bird, they use position of sun during day to navigate. At night, they use star constellation of the north star for navigation system. Besides, they can use earth magnetic system to navigate north and south...Is their natural ability to do that, How amazing!!!

How do fish hunt and avoid being hunted in liquid world? Water is an incredible compound, without it there will be nothing but dust on earth. Habitation in these liquid require certain ability or senses to survive....No doubt, it is definitely not a habitat for Homo sapiens. One of the greatest senses used by dolphin is echolocation or sonar. By using echolocation, it can accurately detect object in motion and its distance. Dolphin and ray fish can detect earth magnetic field and create a contour image for its navigation and finding food. Detect every tiny electrical discharges release by other life form. In the stream of Australia, live one exotic creature named Platypus (mammal). It has a bill which can sense not only touch but electrical discharge of fresh water life form. Among mammal, electrical senses is rare. But among fish, it is relatively common. Eg, elephant trunk fish.

Insect like Bee can sense electromagnetic wave release by storm and "Fly for its life". Insect like Ant are sensitive to humidity, temperature and air pressure. Colony of ant wait many weeks for the perfect weather to mate. Mating frenzy......

Bird has different flight which depends on weight of bird. Large bird like albatross, flamingo glide and soar to save energy, small bird like finches have to keep flapping its wing to maintain its flight. Bird has plume that can sense the air current to avoid bad weather. Insect like locust has air current detector at its antennae. No animal is more sensitive to air current than scorpion, it has fine hair on its body to detect air current. For century, scorpion are said to have mythical power in earthquake prediction...Snake with its whole body glide on the ground also can detect a tiny movement on ground... other indication of earthquake like chicken running, bird singing at the wrong time of day....may be....
Bats is the only mammal which can fly....membrane wing combined appendage. Bats use echolocation to navigate and hunt even though it eye sight is actually quite good..Vampire bats have heat detector at its nose, when it land on its prey, it will search for tissue that contain high quantity of food, which is blood...Somme snake can see its prey or moving life form in heat...
When i was small, the movie of shark "JAW" always shown on TV. The ferocious , fierce, meat thirsty hunters, Great white shark...For your information, most of the shark actually won't just attack human like the scene in the movie... And you won't find shark in tropical water, except whale shark..What makes shark such a great hunter? Shark actually have all character of a perfect hunter. First of all, shark can smell blood from over a km away. It is one of the fastest swimmer among all others. It has ferocious and razor sharp teeth. And last, It can detect earth magnetic field's tiny change. ....scared? ...Don worried, you may only see it in the aquarium...

Islamic School children



Location: International Islamic school, Kota Damansara

When i first encounter school teaching, i was stunned. It is the first time i encounter 10- 15 student within a class, it almost cause severe head damage to me. I cant even control them before i can teach them...It is a real challenge to me and in fact is good for me....From the beginning, i teach them at shallow pool...What i focus on is always breathing, normal breath in swimming is the most important approach....To let them get used to the reversed breathing method (), i keep teach them bubbling underwater ....repeat repeat and repeat...Then paddle paddle and paddle...just wanna keep them moving, but actually they'll still moving even though i told them to freeze!!!...That the hard part.....Anyway, i can understand their natural hyperactive, because I'll do the same when i was in the same age as them....ha ha..

After being trained by experience instructor, i start to have a directive order toward what I've encounter. Thanks to Bernard and Peter for their essence teaching. Controlling a class before teaching is the priority. Then apply a systematic teaching, additional of games and jokes.......Perfect...Straight order and acting fast is essential. Being innovative is very important in teaching. Always out thinking something new to surprise your children...he he...

I'm actually teaching boy and girl but in separated day, because boy and girl can't join together to learn....common sense because I'm teaching Islamic school... This International Islamic school is actually quite open minded, in order to teach them swim, i have to hold them and do demonstration in order to let them learn the proper way....and that is an art of motion....

After teaching for a few month, starting to realize that girls are learning faster than boy. There are several reason for this fact. First of all, boy are more active and lack in following orders. Second, girls have physical advantage in learning this kind of relaxing movement...But anyway, there is always an exception too...so be flexible in teaching as well....

Instead of a teacher, being friend with your student is more interesting, know their name, their interest, their activity during holiday...They find it very excited to tell you that he/she is going somewhere during holiday....finally you'll get respect from them not because you're straight and too 'scary' but you're a teacher that cares...Just little bit of experiences here....love it..

My Student















Location: Saujana Villa, Subang

I've been teaching this kid for about 2 month already. Introduce under instructor Eugene, he's the one who bring me to this career too. Thanks to him. They all are very good student, fast learner. Anyway, they're very playful as well. Never let them play from the start, indulgent in teaching will eventually spoil your teaching. They will "step over your head" and become uncontrollable. Therefore, being straight from the start but always add some joke or games will made your teaching more innovative and interesting. Student will like it very much. Fortunately, I've develop the skill of controlling a group in teaching swimming. Teaching them is fun, besides from being their swimming teacher, they're my Japanese teacher too. hahaha...In fact, my Japanese is quite good now, can listen and understand can talk...I love to exposed, especially to different environment, different people, different experiences. Exposure to Japanese like this is brand new to me...is also a challenge to me..is good for my growth and improvement in teaching and communicate. Encounter with teaching a group, is actually developing my leadership skill in another way....really appreciate it .......

Introduction and Objective


I create this blog to express and recorded what I'm doing all along ,my experience, my interest, my career.................my lifestyle


In year 2009, i'm kinna being through a turning point of my life, i've found a beautiful career. I'm combining my interest and work together, it really makes me feel like i'm the happiest person in the world now. Thanks to everybody who bring me to this beautiful life. Always thankful to having something, appreciate to keep it forever. I really believe that.....because the origin of strength comes from believes.


As an instructor in swimming, i have to said i really enjoy it very much, wanna take this opportunity to thank my best friend CK, he's is the one who introduce me this career to me, appreciate that very much.....


In the same time i also found her.......The one i determined to spend the rest of my life with, thanks my gal.....We used to said that our relationship is destiny....Is a fate to meet and fall in love. Not much romantic event, but a lot of speeding of heart beat.....


One question i ask myself frequent recently, " what is the meaning of my life". She ask me in the first time. My answer is clear, i think I'm here to protect our habitat, Earth. Sounds ambitious ha ha. But i really think so, i was born in Kampong which exposed most to natural environment, all the tree, flower, insect I've seen even before i enter my first kinder garden. Most of my kampong friend love city life, may be because they're bored to all the green since they're be with it too many decad. But for me, my pasionnate in nature will never extinct, never.......Besides from that, i think i'm here to love. I'm the elders in home, i have 5 brothers and 1 sister. Quite a team. Before i enter university, i always complain that why i'm the elders, because i have to do everything and taking care all of them. Now i realize that being matured in thinking is the important part and the best part, because i finally found why my life is given. It is definately to love people that i care about. Family and friends....wanna tell..........I appreciate them so much.
