The Lovely Little Clownfish Nemo

This little clownfish is one of the cute marine creatures which are exhibited in Seoul Coex Aquarium. It swims freely in the display tank with many other marine fishes.

The head of the clownfish with white stripe looks like the face of a clown. That is the reason the colorful clownfish got its name. Commonly found in warm water ocean, the clownfish is also named as anemone fish because it is closely related with the anemone.

The body secretion of the clownfish prevents it from becoming food of the anemone. Moving around the anemone, the clownfish is safe from being attack by its predators. In return, the clownfish helps the anemone to obtain food by attracting fish to get near the anemone.

The relationship between the clownfish and anemone is just like people and government. The government should keep their promises otherwise it sure would be rejected people in the general election.

The Spectacular Leafy Sea Dragon

Leafy sea dragon is possibly one of the amazing and mystical ocean fish. The waters of southern and western coasts of Australia are ideal habitats for leafy sea dragon.

Although leafy sea dragon is closely related to seahorse and pipefish, its body is larger and with leaf-like appendages. The leaf-shaped appendages enable leafy sea dragon to hide among seaweed. Leafy sea dragon generally is yellow or brown in color.

By propelling the pectoral fins, leafy sea dragon moves slowly in water. Leafy sea dragon feeds on tiny crustaceans such as mysids, plankton and amphipods with its long pipe-like mouth.

The UFO Shaped Jellyfish

This photo was taken in Seoul Coex Aquarium. The stuffs in the photo are UFO shaped jellyfish not jellyfish shaped UFO.

Jellyfish are found from the surface to the deep ocean all over the world. Some jellyfish are living in freshwater, they are translucent and normally do not sting. The sizes of freshwater jellyfish are not big. They can grow up to 3 cm in diameter. Larger and colorful jellyfish, most likely are poisonous and dangerous. These jellyfish are commonly seen in coastal area.

Jellyfish are carnivores and hunt for small marine creatures. Great amount of jellyfish is a threat to human beings and marine product. Luckily the numbers of jellyfish have reduced after scientific research on the usage of jellyfish had been done. Jellyfish is reported that can be used in food, cosmetics and drug manufacturing.

The Amazing Octopus Paul

Paul was a renowned octopus in Germany Oberhausen Aquarium. It had the ability to predict precisely the result of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

It's pretty coincident that there is an octopus in Seoul Coex Aquarium. I wonder this octopus is as capable as Paul. A couple of months after 2010 FIFA World Cup over, Paul ended its mystical life.

Will another miraculous octopus appear during the 2014 FIFA World Cup which will be held in Brazil, South America?

Malacca Royal Police Is Truly Extraordinary

While Malaysia Royal Police is having serious yellow phobia, Malacca Police has provided excellent service to the civilians of Historical City.

When I was on my way to attend DAP dinner on Sunday night, I was blocked by police before reaching YPL Restaurant in Malim Jaya Malacca. Most of the dinner guests were complaining the police created the traffic jam purposely.

I disagreed with the accusation because that's the well-intention of the police to ensure the dinner could be held smoothly. In addition to the road block at many locations in Malim Jaya, there were quite a number of police stationed at the YPL Restaurant to take precaution in case any troublemaker try to cause disturbance.

With the protection of the police, the dinner guests were relieved to enjoy the "delicacies". The speakers of the dinner also appreciated the excellent service of the police.

The Yellow Ruler In The Mind Of Malaysian

Malaysia Barisan Nasional leaders keep on accusing Pakatan Rakyat deliberately to discredit the government. Making these foolish statements is truly absurd.

Malaysia civilians won't believe such ridiculous nonsense. In fact Malaysians know the achievement of Barisan Nasional government in finger tips. Therefore, it's not necessary for Barisan Nasional to boast.

Tyranny is more oppressive than a tiger, the people will oppose the all-out.

Many Malaysia civilians with yellow clothes were arrested by Royal Police on street recently.

According to Malaysia China Press news, the opposition party Pakatan Rakyat most likely will file a lawsuit against Royal Police and Minister of Home Affairs Hishammuddin Hussein. As the nanny of people, police should be responsible for the safety of taxpayers. What a pity they had been taken advantage by those who are in power.

Foreign tourists remember not to wear yellow clothing to avoid to be the victims of the ridiculous ban. It's better for you to keep away any stuff which is yellow in color such as eating yellow banana, wearing yellow tie, carrying yellow handbag or put on yellow scarves

Jaundice patient have to do more sunbathe before visiting Malaysia. Otherwise Malaysian government will ask you to taste free curry rice.
