KL tower International BASE jump-Oct 09

Jumping is child's play, my kids jump in the bed every time for fun, the more you scold them the more they jump...thats Ok...what shocked me last weekend was that people jumping from taller places, not from the bench or from the walls but from KL tower which is 1,381 ft, of course with parachute its quite thrilling to see people jump from such a height, free fall...literally dive from such a height and been fallen almost half way still the parachute is not opening...within a fraction of seconds just like a sudden jerk it blows up to wide open to save the life!!!

When this happens in my balcony I have taken some photos and sharing it here...









































It was happening through out the day and people falling are also controlling their landing to one particular place...For more details on Jumping check this website

Cameron Highland....cont

Pasar malam (Evening bazaar / sandey in tamil) is a common practise here in malaysia...every area will have any one day in a week to have Pasar (Bazaar) malam(Evening)...in my place(KL) it will be on every saturday evening where we will just stroll around for something to eat/drink/buy certain things will be quite cheap in Pasar malam...same thing here in Cameron Highland the nearby town called Brinchang, visited the Pasar malam for its unique Fried potatoes, Fried Ice cream ( hot..hot ice cream again in Strawberry flavour), corn, honey, balloon for my kids etc...soon heavy rain made us to return to our apartment as quickly as possible...






Bee Museum, here we have seen various types of Bees,the working pattern of bee, its way of storing the honey, the Queen Bee...another interesting place where they gave us the sample of different kinds of honey...rubber tree honey, palm tree honey...etc..for me everything tasted similar after tasting five different varieties of honey... finally bought a bottle of Honey!!!










Sam Poh Buddhist Temple,
the moment you enter this temple...you feel like in the sholin temple movies...Master, teach me Kung fu with the background music of flute, violin and bells.. its quite a different place to see, the workshipping style, the big golden Gods and Goddess,its location and its peaceful atmosphere...though this temple sounds like "Sam bho Mahadeva" we can definitely identify the roots of Buddhism with Hinduism..as we can identify our Hindu gods and goddess here in this temple...check out these photos

Cameron Highland

I know Cameron Diaz...I have seen her in many movies...but now I also know Cameron Highland...its a hill station...its just 5hrs drive from Kuala Lumpur. Experienced lovely holidays during the Hari Raya (Ramzan) in this small town called tanah rata...We stayed in Carnation park apartment where we have seen many cars, so we concluded that’s the reason behind the CARnation park apartment.

Strawberry was tasted in the Ice cream flavor, but now I have witnessed the strawberry farm, taken it directly from the plant, tasted it, the real taste of strawberry milk shakes and ice cream!!! There can’t be another real and tasty milk shakes and ice cream other than this one in Raju’s strawberry farm..they were very kind enough to quench our anxiety by asking us to taste the different types of strawberries…and Jam...also gave some free fresh /dry strawberries… but the Jam is very sour!!!Mr.Raju was himself there to show us the strawberry(photo)











BOH
tea factory, BOH tea is one the leading brands in Malaysia…something like our Lipton/Taj Mahal/Kannan Devan…this visit is worth to see the modern machines for plugging the tea leaves..Using small planes to throw the fertilizers…the variety in tea…strawberry flavor, mint flavor, Teacino..Ice cold, hot..more excotic green mountains like our Ooty...here I am sharing the video in BOH tea factory where the tea leaves been sent inside the factory !!!

IFF Code

Wrong Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) coding by the French Airline's Airbus 343 aircraft which was on it way from Paris to Bangkok and was entering India after flying over Lahore in Pakistan.

"Taking prompt action after our radars detected an unknown aircraft over our territory, we scrambled two of our MiG 29 air defence fighter jets from Adampur air base to intercept the aircraft at around 0610 hours in the morning, as it had switched on a wrong IFF code," IAF officials said in New Delhi.

"The mission was aborted soon after the fighters took off as the French aircraft had switched over to the right codes," they added. IFF codes are meant to help the ground-based radars to automatically differentiate between friendly and enemy aircraft
.

Great Job Done IAF!!!

Numbers are quite interesting thing if you would like to work with figures...big figures, correct figures, historical figures...in this post I am going to make that Historical figure..ok..Historical numbers

123456789

Before the interesting thing about this post...

We all know Indian invented 0 (zer0)

When I wikified about the Arabic numbers..it says...the Arabic numbers (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) are the descended from Indian numberals and the Hindu - Arabic numeral systems developed by Indian mathematicians. The Indian numerals were adopted by the Persian mathematicians in India, and passed on to the Arabs further west....

And the interesting thing about the numbers and how the Arabian numbers became so popular...

Well then whats so special about this post...NUMBERS of course..numbers that occur rarely or that appears once in 100years digitally...

So I posted this article at 12 Hrs:34 Min:56 Sec7 Date 8 Month 9 Year ie., digitally it will occur in year 2109
