Life of a Navy

1^st of May, Labour day? It happens to be Malaysian Royal Navy (TLDM) Open Day 2011 in Teluk Sepangar Naval Base. It was my first time being there. Kinda excited since I missed my chance last year. The place is quite big, with tight security. We were asked to park nearby the front gate. luckily shuttle buses were there since its a long way to the event venue. 

 

The warship, transport vessel, destroyer and assault are open for public to view. I have a friend working in Navy. He gave us a short tour inside his warship. 

 

 Many activities been done on that day, some are;

Maritime exhibition

Boat ride

Concert by local artist

Fishing Competition

Dart competition

Car show

Mini Superbike race

There were also a lot of stalls selling from foods, fruits and souvenirs. 

 Me inside a Top Anti-aircraft mount gun. I may look comfortable inside it, but the space is so compact. Have trouble getting in and out. Not everyone can fit into it.

 

Weapons are displayed for people to view, touch and take pictures. I didn’t miss my chance to grab few of the weapons. Love the Glock 17, wished could bring it back. Other than that, FN minimi, M4 carbine, stery-AUG, chain gun and flare gun were also spark my interest.

 There was once in my life i thought wanna be a navy, but now i changed my mind, even though it is exciting to work in ship and vessel with accommodation, weapons etc, i find it quite boring job. Can't imagine myself working months on sea. Of all the forces, if i given a chance, would like to "TRY" Air Force..It look more cool but then i might change my opinion once i went for their open day..lol

Lunch in Kahve @ 1Borneo

Finally have my own sweet time to update this blog. My time in the other side of Malaysia is getting less as my studies going to finish. I’m really going to miss this place a lot, especially the friendly people. But now it’s time to enjoy my last days here. It start late with lunch in Kahve 1Borneo.

Kahve

G820, 1Borneo, 88450 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

Tel : 088-448897

The interior design is nice. Not very comfort but got a lot of space.

Spaghetti Carbonara was satisfying. The pasta is nice, made using cheese and egg. 

I am not the sort of person who would look for black pepper anything but this one is worth trying. Grilled Chicken Black Pepper. I kinda like the light black pepper source.

After that, we went to GSC. Watched a movie that I’ve been waiting so long, Fast and Furious 5. Well, this is one good movie to miss. Really enjoyed every scene of the movie. The theater is full even though it was weekday. Next movie on the list would be Transformer! Can't wait for it. Hoping for more good times while i'm still here =)
