Project Bugs Complete


Yes it is finally done, yup one of our STPM assignment for Biology is officially finish and is being pass up to our teacher. All the hard work of collecting 25 various species of bugs had paid off and looking at our work gives us a great feeling of accomplishing it. Whether it is the bugs being really being caught or even buying it, it does not matter to me because as long it is done it is done.

We started our project by taking the easiest way out possible of finishing it which is by simply just buying our way through. Sounds easy? Well i am not quite sure about it especially you need to travel all the way to Gombak just to buy bugs, not forgetting that you must find own your way in somewhere out of your comfort zone. Before i even do this, i would not have a single clue that we can actually buy bugs and Biology students must do this assignment. No wonder bugs in Malaysia is getting fewer year by year.


Thats part of us negotiating and choosing what bugs can we get for a very low price.


Aren't they beautiful? You can always buy them, it only cost per butterfly is RM 3.00 for a common species and for a more rare species it is more then RM 5.00.

If we just buy all 25 species of bugs, it will be little too obvious that we just buy all of them. Therefore we need to catch them ourself. The location is chosen and it will be Kiara Park in TTDI. Beware Bugs in Kiara Park, we are coming! If anyone ever tell you that catching a living bug is easy, they are lying. They are actually quite hard to catch, well that is from my experience of catching. I personally just prefer to buy them.


Net set, "Killing Jar" set, We are all set to Catch Em All.

Look we manage to catch our first "victim" in our killing-jar.

Look they are the criminals that caught the bugs in Kiara Park, catch them not me(Cause i am not in the picture)

Bugs ready, all we need now is just to pin them up nicely and put them in a showcase that will look presentable. What we did was just a very simple showcase mainly consist of just manilla card board. What to do, we are not as rich as people that can afford them self a wooden showcase. A wooden showcase won't be cheap, so manilla card will just get the job done.I admit it may not look as elegant as others group but at least it looks decent enough.

A quick glimpse of all our 25 different species before we put them in our showcase.

Here is something funny, since when i ever went to Kuala Selangor?

I am proud to say that this our final product after putting enough effort.





To all the group members of mine: Hui Min, Malini, Kai Lee, and Winney, it had been a real great time working with you guys.

Don't You Dare To Fake It.


The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is a rock band that started off as a local band in Middleburg, Florida. The Band is consist of 5 group members with Ronnie Winter as the lead vocalist. The way they got their name is pretty interesting because according to a source from the internet they got their name from random words on the wall and being chosen by a member that is blindfolded. Pretty interesting enough.

Most of their song are mainly rock, but not same as the punk rock like Green Day of maybe Good Charlotte. Their songs just seems to be different from them. Their hit single "Face Down" seems to be a big hit once they appear in a music chart. One thing that i like about them is that sometimes when you hear rock music some of them can be too loud and hard and the lead singer is screechy but Ronnie does not screech that much, what i mean that he knew how to control it. Back to their first hit song, the song is mainly telling you about a story. The drums beat is massive combine with great guitar being played it totally is bomb.

After listening to "Face Down" you might just think that they can only play good rock song. The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus offers more then that as they show their versatility in their album. The song "Your Guardian Angel" is really a nice song. It is played with a acoustic guitar at the start and in the end got a bit of rock in it. This song also had a beautiful voice that just suits the song. Among all the track list i got to vote this as the best track list.

So if you feel like having some music that will blow your day try getting their album Don"t You Fake It". Trust me it is worth it.

Track List
  1. "In Fate's Hands" - 3:27

What is Nagomi.com?



What is Nagomi.com?. I am not quite sure my self what is it until i realise it is a restaurant. Ever heard of Shabu- Shabu?. Nope? According to the second page of the menu of Nagomi.com, Shabu-Shabu is a traditional dish served using thinly sliced meat that would cook in boiling water. In another words it is Steamboat Japanese style. What does it got to do with Nagomi.com, well it actually serve Shabu-Shabu.

The interior of the restaurant is good as it has a classy look as it is a place where all the rich and the famous would dine. Said fair enough about the decor, the service they provide you is marvelous as they really do come asking whether you need any assistance and gives you a real warm feeling in the restaurant.

For my drink, it is not much a great thing as it is just ice lemon tea. During that day the weather is hot and i just feel like drinking something cold to quench my thirst. My brother ordered the fresh star fruit juice and it tasted so blend. They really got it precise when they use the term "fresh juice".



Coming to the food, for appetizer's i had Sashimi. For the record this is the first time i ever tried Sashimi and being worried because it is plain raw and maybe my stomach can't take it. Thankfully i felt nothing when i eat it and it taste well with Japanese soy sauce.



Moving on to the main course i ordered a set lunch with the meat i chosen which is chicken. It also comes with vegetable which are quite common and can be found almost anywhere. As mention earlier the chicken meat in the plate is sliced thinly, and in the middle there is minced chicken meat with an egg yolk in the middle.


The food are ready, now it is time to cook it. The food is all cooked in this very container filled with chicken stock soup for the meat to boil. When the food is cooked it is ready to eat. Once most of the ingredient is being cooked in the soup, this is the best time for it to be drink as it tasted "sweet" as it absorb all the taste in it.


A set of lunch would not be complete without a desert and this they serve us all time favorite ice -cream. There is two flavours available and that is green tea and black sesame. Personally i would say the black sesame tasted better and it is not as common as the green tea flavour.

Lastly the cost of my set lunch meal is RM 60.00, the ice lemon tea costs RM 7.00 and my stupid drink of my brother costs RM 8.00. Total up all together will cost RM 86.25 after adding government tax and service tax. Overall for a student it is very expensive to eat and i think there is much better place to go to then here. So if you feel like trying the Shabu-Shabu, come to the Jaya 33 loacated in Petaling Jaya Section 14 to check it out yourself.
