Second Life - Kowloon

This is the first scene that i saw when i first teleport to Kowloon. The night scene is

very beautiful.Besides, i can see many stars on the sky, but the stars is not blinking.It will be perfect if the starts blinking all over the sky. The water look not so realistic, but the reflection on the water made it look more realistic. For real, i din't go to Kowloon before.I felt so excited when i reach Kowloon. I don't know is it the Kowloon is on a island, but what i saw and what i felt is Kowloon is on a island.

This is the street of Kowloon. The atmosphere that i felt there is old Chinese

cultural building. Whole street also full of neon which make the city more colorful and beautiful at night. I think the main reason that i feel the city like old Chinese style cultural is because of the neon light. Kowloon is like a place for budget users or i can say all the things there is quite cheap.Even the hotels, shopping malls, shops also budget users favorite. Kowloon in second life is very details. I can see many streets, small streets, shops name and etc.I hope i can visit to Kowloon at least once in my life.

This is the hotel's room that i found in Kowloon. Its like what i mention at above, old Chinese style room. Those fan , bed and the cupboard look old but usable. From the outlook, i can know that this hotel is for budget users.

This is the top view of the Kowloon's city. I love this scene very much. This scene is awesome and marvelous. The time i jump down, i got shocked because of the structure and the numbers of the building. Kowloon is full of tall building and streets(including small streets).

This is the Chinese temple that i found in Second life's Kowloon. It located beside the sea. At first i though i can go into the temple and explore. But , so disappointed that i cant go in. There is no door for me to go in. There is a shed in front of the temple. This is how temple and shed works? Because i found that almost all chinese temple also have a similar shed.

Kowloon is second life is totally owning. I immerse in it when i exploring the places. Its funny that when i open the door, i will be teleport to another place or another scene. For me , this is a very good experience.

Orchid Park

Orchid park is quite boring for me. I personally not really like plants. But since i already reach there, so i visited orchid park too. When i reach Orchid park, there is only me , my friends and workers. Even i not really like plants, but i got shocked when i saw the orchid park . Its so big and beautiful.

During my journey in orchid park, i use my camera and take down some of the beautiful views/scene. The structure of the Orchid park is very interesting. Other than orchid, we can found many other plants too.

I quite disappointing too, because i though that Orchid park will be full with colorful Orchid.But i only found many green color plants inside.The is no interaction too. This is the main reason why i don's like plants. Actually, there is nothing for me to experience in the Orchid Park. What i feel is that i am inside a Green Park.

KL Bird Park

This is the first time i came to KL bird park. I so excited when i sitting in the bus and waiting to reach the destination. Actually before i go in, i though it was a small bird park. I's so sorry that i said so, the bird park is big . I walked until i cant feel my leg anymore.

Once i walk into the bird park, then

i saw this scene. Many birds stand on the tree branches and eating the foods( fruits ) that worker put on the branches. Many people surround the birds and take photos, but the birds like used to it, stand there and continue eating their foods.

This is the dustbin that i found in the bird park . Its well designed and cute. The first time i look at it , i though it was a bird, but i am wrong. I saw that some of the sign also well designed too.

This owl is very cute. This is the first time that i see owl. In my mind, owl is a very fierce birds with very sharp claws, but i found this owl is so cute. The other side, i pity the owl too, because the owl is alone inside the cage. I hope this owl can get freedom 1 day.

This is a very interesting scene. All the birds follow the worker all the way. I think is because workers feed them everyday and its almost the time to have their meal. I can see many people taking photos the

re too. May be they feel this is very interesting too.

Parrot feeding time. Some of the foreign paid for the food and feed the parrots. This is a very interesting section actually. When the foreigner put the food near the parrot, those parrots will automatically fly to the food and starting to eat.

Is the parrot well trained ? How come they don't scare human at all.

KL Bird Park is a very special place. We can feed, touch and play with the birds. The bird park that i went last time, is all inside the cage. I only can take photos and look at those birds. I found that most of the visitors are students and family(parents and children). We can get great experience inside.

Aquaria

For me , Aquaria is a very place that full of memories , because i came here once before with my friends and we had a very happy journey. During the visit to Aquaria, i felt that i totally immerse in it. Personally , i like fishes and underwater environment.

I found this quite interesting. I found this just right in front of the entrance. There is fishes inside the water and we can touch it. When i touched the fishes, i felt that it skin is so wet and sticky. But actually, i used few minutes to touch them because it swim too fast.

This is the water tunnel inside the Aquaria. Along the journey inside the water tunnel, i can see many types of fishes and shark. I felt so excited when i saw shark swim

ming around right in front of me . May be because i din't see shark before. The environment of the water tunnel is very nice and also the environment of the big aquarium. Not only i can found many types of

fishes, i also found many types of under water plants. Its so colorful and unique.(i mean some of them ).

This is the shark that i meantion just now. The shark swimming around with its fierce eye and sharp tooth. It is so cool. In my mind, shark is a very fierce creature. But in the Aquaria, i don't see it eating others fish that is around.

At the ending of the Aquaria, i found this creature. I don't know is'it a kind of fish. But i found this very interesting. This creatures like swimming in a reverse way. I like this creatures so much. It have unique shape and special look .

At last, I finish the journey to Aquaria. I am very happy that i get many different kind of experience during the journey even though i paid for it. Its worth for me to pay for it because i found out so many funny things inside that i never see before. I promise myself that i will come here again.

PetroSains

This is the entrance of the PetroSains. For me, its well design. The atoms that hanging around is

funny and attractive. Many people will take a look even they just pass though.

Actually, this is the second time i come to PetroSains, but i still don't feel boring because PetroSains is very interesting place. I think even i go for third times also won't feel boring.

This is the waiting point for the dark ride. Its a special and unique starting for me. The Dark ride will bring me into a dark space that is full of information of Malaysia, Science and alots of video display.

This is the digging machine in PetroSains. It's a very interesting machine. Its totally different when i driving my car. This machine is very easy to control or i should say user friendly. Many children also queuing for their turn to play this try out this machine, even though adult or parents also waiting for it.

About this dinosaurs park, i not really interest in it , may be its look too " fake " . I just walk around and read the information about the era of dinosaurs and dinosaurs. I remember that, there is a machine that allow us to smell the smell of the old era. The smell is so smelly .

Actually this trip to PetroSains is so interesting. PetroSains is more interesting then the National Science Center. PetroSains have more interaction for users to interaction . The exit ride is the end of my journey of PetroSains. I found many video display during the exit ride. Its quite boring for me , because i not really know who they are showing and what they trying to inform us. Last, PetroSains is a owesome trip for me . I know i will visit here again.

IMAX and MALL experience

I am so happy when lecturers said that they will bring us to watch Prince of Persia in IMAX version.We reach Berjaya Times Square about 4.50pm. We have 1 hour plus time to shopping(MALL experience). When i step into Times Square. Its so marvelous and huge. I feel like i standing in a very high class place. The structure of Times Square is very simple. Its not easy to lost inside the Times Square. There is about 12 floors and the IMAX cinema is located at 10th floor. Times Square got about over 60 cafes.Berjaya Times Square offers nothnig short of pure thrills and excitement when it comes to entertainment. The indoor theme park is awesome . All the shop lots is very classic, or i should say standard. About 6pm, i went GSC and waiting to go in. This is my first time to experience IMAX. When i go in, i felt so exited and happy. Its so huge and marvelous. Until the movie start, i am so disappointing . I thought the movies is about 3x times bigger then the normal screen. But the movie just show on the middle part of the screen. Yes, the screen is big , but the movie is so small when the movie start. After that only i know the 1 i watched is not the IMAX version.

Technology as Experience

After i read the article "Technology as Experience" by John McCarthy and Peter Wright,i know that we don't just use technology , we live with it. Actually the article is not easy to understand. I understand it after i read it for few times.We always understand certain things or certain object(games,movies,etc) after we experienced it. We could not know the what happen or what feeling we can get if we din't try it out. What is technology as experience? For my understanding, technology as experience means that we consume or we get experience through technology.We can understand or receive it more easily because we experienced it before.For example window 7 by microsoft. At first i thought its just a rubbish window until i tried it ,i will never regret to change my computer to window 7. Window 7 is really a good window for me. Before i used it, even window7 is a new technology by microsoft, but i don't even care about it because i din try it before and i not really trust that window. Technology as experience is a very interesting topic . Even technology is very important, but our own experience also very important.
