Lifelong Learning is process of continuous learning to gain new knowledge. The basic principle for lifelong learning is the love of reading. A recent interview with former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad which was published in this article Kampung Boy No More, it is interesting to know that reading is still the most valuable tools of learning as compared to watching Educational TV programme.
We learn more by reading since the information stays longer in our mind. We also learn the language i.e. the way the book is written.
As opposed to watching TV, we learn how to communicate by reading books, i.e. we learn how to convey our thinking to another person.
According to him, reading also improves our perception of things and trains us to analyse and understand complex matters. The more we read, the more we acquire the experience of others.
Love to read is a must in order for oneself to appreciate Lifelong Learning. Once we started to read we cannot stop reading.

Danger! Beach is Closed.
The sea condition is quite choppy due to the monsoon season and also very high tide. Due to this, the beach at the Damai Beach Resort is closed for swimming due to the treacherous sea condition. The tide is also very high due to the King Tide period. If it is raining heavily for several continuous days, several low lying areas might be flooded.
Therefore, during this monsoon season, just go to the beach and watch the waves.

Helicopter
This hornbill Skyways' helicopter looks very impressive. The helicopter looks like a compact helicopter which can accommodate only few passengers.
The helicopter is one of the major mode of transport in Sarawak. Flying using the helicopter will ensure that all remote areas are accessible.
Also, it is a quick way of travelling from one place to another.
I think this type of helicopter is much safer since the design of the rotor looks very sturdy and solid.
