卫星导行:那鬼地方怎么去?

我是路盲。来了吉隆坡超过十年,还是摸不清石头,出门要做很多研究,看地图功夫已臻化境,后来 Google 推出免费卫星地图,更是如虎添翼。
但是出门之前的功夫不论做得多好,总是无法完全不走错路:因为我邦的路,不但会自行生长和改道,其路标的混乱和昏暗,绝对令人叹为观止。

有了卫星导行,我发现我们在车上吵架的机会少了。至少不必为了走哪条路而闹到眼红耳赤。虽然卫星导行未必带我走最恰当的路径,重点是,它能带我到目的地。
我一夜之间,从一个路盲,变成一个路神通。从一个跟车虫,变成一个带路佬。
我不怕谜路,走到那里,只要一按“回家”,卫星导行就带我走回头的路。我因此走的路也多了很多。
如果说科技真个能带来好处,我想卫星导行是其中一项比较正面的吧。

这东西改变了我们向外走动的意愿,也解决了我们一个长久以来的难题:那鬼地方怎么去?

如果你跟我一样,时常为“那鬼地方怎么去?”而烦,卫星导行,是一个化“怎”为“这”的装置,把“那鬼地方怎么去?”变成“那鬼地方这么去!”

Yi Ting’s sketch

Yi Ting’s drawing is kind of amusing. They always put a grind on my face when I see them.
It is more fun when she describe each and every detail of her drawing when I asked. Although I have no idea what is on this particular about.

Spotted this while we were having some soup in one of the organic restaurant at Subang Jaya.

Deerland and Elephant Conservation

You cannot touch a deer in Zoo Negara, but you can touch and hug a whole bunch of them here in Deerland.

And feeding them too.

Just a few KM away, there is a National Elephant Conservation Centre (Pusat Konservasi Gajah Kebangsaan). Perhaps the most fun out of it was being tossed by the elephant into river.

Nice and steady….

Walked to the deep water…

Splash….

 

Not an easy job for the "STAFF", see the water coming out from his mouth?
