Neobalanocarpus heimii (cengal) "Crown Shyness" Phenomenon

I do believe that the nature phenomenon of "crown shyness" of Dryobalanops aromatica (kapur) is well-known to many foresters or forest lovers. The reason for its name is because the leaf tips of the Dryobalanops aromatica appear to be shy towards their own kind, hence forming the gap.

A Trip To Penang National Park

Me, Kamal and Nafizah had conducted a trip to Penang National Park with our fellow DBK1A and DBK1B students on 23 - 25 September 2011. It was a very memorable Penang trip that I ever experienced in my entire career. We traveled there by chartered bus because PSA was unable to provide us transport due to unavailability of our varsity's drivers. The journey began at 4.00 p.m. on Friday.

We arrived at Chalet Sportfishing, Persatuan Nelayan Kawasan Teluk Bahang at 10.15 p.m. It was a very calm and peaceful night when we get there. By not wasting the time, I get the keys and distributed it to my students. Me and Kamal found ourselves so sleepy and get into deep nice dream right after.
