Meaning of the colours used to doodle on this pair of figurines:
Orange ๐งก~ From the Malayan Tiger ๐ ๐ฏ body colour
Black ๐ค ~ From the stripes of Malayan Tiger ๐ ๐ฏ
White ๐ค ~ The original colour of the figurines, From the Malaysia flag ๐ฒ๐พ ~ It symbolises purity
Yellow ๐ ~ From the Malaysia flag ๐ฒ๐พ ~ It signifies royal colours of the Malay Rulers. Sienny would like to symbolise it as a bright future of Malaysia of her pair of Malayan Tigers figurines here
Red โฅ๏ธ ~ From the Malaysia flag ๐ฒ๐พ ~ It symbolises bravery. The tiger symbolises bravery & strength among Malaysians
Blue ๐ ~ From the Malaysia flag ๐ฒ๐พ ~ It symbolises the unity of all Malaysians
Meaning of doodle patterns:
The circular doodle means focus in aiming ๐ฏ just like the tiger ๐ ๐ฏ
Another doodle pattern meant to be the growth of plant ๐ฟ๐ฑ to signifies the jungle ๐ณ๐ณ
Meaning of this pair of Malayan Tiger figurinesgestures:
Hand gestures ~ STOP ๐ poaching โผ๏ธ
The Malayan tiger is already declining due to poaching, habitat loss & fragmentation or degradation, as well as prey loss & now Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) seems to be emerging as yet another threat
Purposely prepared no eyes ๐ on this pair of Malayan Tiger figurines, it’s because tiger cubs are born blind. Their eyes peek open between 6โ12 days after birth & they gain full vision after 2 weeks from birth

Hmm…SiennyLovesDrawing actually wishes to retire early, yes โ , since she has graduated & starting to work ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ป, this is a life goal ๐ฏ that she is working on.

โPlanning to retire? Before you do find your hidden passion, do the thing that you have always wanted to do.โ ~ By Catherine Pulsifer
Apart from the major concern ie. Enough financial to support early retirement, the rule of thumb widely recognised is only withdraw 4% from retirement savings each year
Personally to her, “enough“ meant differently by each retirees, if you can be living on a lower budget that you’re comfortably adapting to, without any luxury elements, then your “enough” for early retirement surely more achievable, as compared to those that wish to enjoy a more luxury comfortable retirement life. So, a honest & reality self reflect is required to consider your retirement lifestyle, current or long term healthcare needs, living downsizing etc. ya ๐ช๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
The important factor that drives her to achieving early retirement is what she is gonna do to fill her time after retire. Once retired, it means literally you have extra hours of 9 to 5 on your own, no need answering to many bosses, hurrayโผ๏ธ She knows herself well that she needs to keep her time occupied, she just can’t be doing nothing for a long time, she just can’t, lol ๐
Frankly, initially when she wishes to retire early, so she can backpacking around the world ๐๐, however with the global health pandemic now, she needs to pen down what she is gonna do instead before her long backpacking journey then
Let’s start to craft out an actual plan for your post-retirement years OR plan a fun bucket list that you can happily tick off after each exciting completion during your retirement
It’s just a new ๐ beginning after your retirement, enjoy new ๐ life for your own self. It’s a 2nd chance for all retirees to live life to its fullest to stay happy vital
In this sharing, SiennyLivesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป is gonna sharing some pointers/ ideas of what to do to fill your time during retirement. It’s important to plan well to enjoy the max benefits of an early retirement๐
What’s your answers to these questionsโโ๏ธ
When you were a child, what did you love most? Isnโt it now the time that each of us remembered the simple joy of being a child?
Anything you wished you would have done? Not done?

If money were not a problem, what would you be doing now?

Oppsss…SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป has forgot ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ to have a photo ๐ธ with Uncle Kennyย ๐จ๐ปโ๐ผย during this trip
He ๐จ๐ปโ๐ผ has generously shared an article โ๐ป๐wrote by him & SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป would like to share ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ป๐ it here, inclusion of her favourite โค๏ธ emojisss & capturesss ๐ธ in between ๐๐
๐คย ~ Sharing is caring as always ~~ ๐ค
Taman Negara๐ณ๐ณ, situated in the heart โค๏ธof Pahang, Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ , is 1๏ธโฃ of the oldest rainforest ๐ณ๐ณ in the world ๐บ๐ at 130 million years old
Within it, lays a geographical ๐ wonder of permanently untouched & protected habitat for flora ๐ณ๐ฑ๐ฟ๐บ & fauna ๐ฆ๐๐ ๐ to florish to all its glory
As such, this a perfect ๐๐ป platform for the development of a hub towards the education of conservation of the ecology surrounding Taman Negara & rainforests in general ๐ณ๐ณ
We strongly believe that Taman Negara ๐ณ๐ณ has the potential to be a global ๐บ๐ platform for the both Eco & Adventure education tourism centre ๐
My ๐จ๐ปโ๐ผ humble beginnings of 30 plus years specialising in tourism at Taman Negara ๐ณ๐ณ & the handling of some 1๏ธโฃ million over tourists ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ since day 1๏ธโฃ, has led me ๐จ๐ปโ๐ผ to the formation of 2๏ธโฃ travel agencies (NKS & Han Travel) & a resort ๐ก๐๐ก with the biggest room capacity at Kuala Tahan. We average 30k tourists ๐ฌ๐ซ๐ญ a year & 90% of them are from Europe ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฉ๐ช ๐๐บ
It has come to a time, where I ๐จ๐ปโ๐ผ feel personally, having been in this trade for 30 odd years, it is time to educate the younger generation ๐ง๐ป๐ง๐ป๐ฆ๐ป๐ง๐ป & anyone from all walks of life willing to learn about the conservation ๐ of the ecology & its surroundings
We at Han Travel, have formed 2๏ธโฃ new ๐ arms in our corporation to execute the upcoming programs called Eco Adventure Tourism ๐๐
This will be encased with the educational arm named the Eco Educational Tourism, headed by Mr Frank Kee & his team ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ & in support ๐ช๐ป with the activities provided by the Adventure Management Tourism headed by Mr Kevin Bateman & his team ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
Just 1๏ธโฃ of our examples for the educational program is the re-planting of bamboo ๐๐or specific trees ๐ณ๐ณ by badly eroded areas in the effort to prevent further damage to the riversides ๐ฆ๐ง
This is just an example of what we would provide as a CSR initiative ๐
We shall be working closely with the Sultan Ahmad Environmental foundation ๐ in its efforts, participate & uphold its values ๐
Alas, with our planning & preparation, we now realise that we face a huge stumbling block ๐ฅ๐ We do not a permanent site to conduct our activities in a conducive & safe manner ๐
Also, current rules & regulations by the government sectors should be looked at & revised to enable operators like us ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฌ to introduce & execute the mutually beneficial conservational education programs ๐๐
In the extended period, the efforts will benefit not just the environment ๐๐ณ๐ but also creating employment opportunity to the locals within its surroundings ๐ญ๐ฌ๐ซ
I๐จ๐ปโ๐ผnow urge, the Pahang state Government, Ministry of Tourism & other related government agencies to assist us in paving the way into this journey with us ๐๐ป๐ค๐๐ป๐๐ป
Other Asian countries are already promoting their countrysโ tagline, for example;-
Thailand ๐น๐ญ ~ Culture tourism
Indonesia ๐ฎ๐ฉ ~ Art tourism
Philippines ๐ต๐ญ ~ Diving tourism
Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ ~ Eco & Adventure tourism
All told, our Ministry of Tourism Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ have also set their vision ๐ญ on Eco Tourism ๐ with its plans & implementation of its program from 2025 & continued focusing till 2050
Han Travel Sdn Bhd, is now at the final phases of the planning & is almost ready to launch our initial program on Eco & Adventure Tourism ๐๐ The launch pad & operations will be at the Han Rainforest Resort, Kuala Tahan ๐ก๐๐ก
We hope our efforts will promote & drive the state of Pahang to be model state & also the centre of Ecological ๐ Awareness & the centre for the Education on Rainforest Preservation ๐ณ๐ณ
Once again, I ๐จ๐ปโ๐ผ believe that our vision is in line with the Pahang State governmentโs. Developing a fully functioning centre where the education of the ecology ๐ can spread to all walks of life through an experiential process where participants ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ can touch, feel, smell, see and hear the importance of the ecology ๐around us & the threats to its and our existence ๐๐
Thank you ๐๐ป

Royal Belum State Park ๐๐ณ๐ณ๐ is a 130 million years old rainforest ๐ณ๐ณ & the untouched forest ๐ณ๐ณ is home to a large variety of flora & fauna ๐๐คฉ
Guess whatโโ๏ธ
It’s 1๏ธโฃ of the attractions๐๐not to be missed to searching for the precious bloom of the World ๐บ๐ ‘s largest & arguably smelliest flower ๐บ i.e. Rafflesia
It found all over Southeast Asia ๐ i.e. from Southern Thailand ๐น๐ญ to Philippines ๐ต๐ญ Each species can be identified by the unique patterns on the petals.

It offering the chance to get close to nature ๐ especially for nature lovers & travel lovers.ย You will definitely enjoy the complete relaxation ๐ & serenity with its quiet & green nature surroundings ๐๐ณ๐ณ๐
Hmm…If you are driving ๐๐ through North East Highway towards Kelantan, you will pass 2๏ธโฃ scenic bridges ๐ i.e. you are actually passing on an island ๐๐
Lake Temenggor ๐ is Malaysia๐ฒ๐พโs 2๏ธโฃnd largest lake ๐ฆ๐ง& home to more than 23 species of freshwater fish ๐ & at least 5๏ธโฃ species of turtles ๐ข๐ข As the lake ๐ฆ๐งcovers 117.5k hectares & contains 6k million cubic metres of water ๐ฆ๐ง , who knows what other creatures live there that have yet to be discovered ๐
Guess whatโโ๏ธ
Pulau Banding ๐๐ in Belum Temenggor complex ๐๐ณ๐ณ๐ i.e. the public jetty โ๏ธ & Belum Rainforest Resort ๐๐ณ๐ณ๐ก๐ก is located actually was not an island ๐๐ Instead it’s 1๏ธโฃ Malaysian ๐ฒ๐พ historical & beautiful scenic location ๐
In 1970, due to the effort to fight communist & to build a hydro ๐ฆ๐งelectric dam has resulted in part of the Belum-Temenggor forest complex ๐๐ณ๐ณ๐ submerged in the water ๐ฆ๐งof Sungai Perak. It took 4๏ธโฃ years to build the 2๏ธโฃ bridges ๐๐ to providing the convenience of East North East travelling ๐๐ via a scenic ๐๐คฉ highway. The view of the 1๏ธโฃst bridge ๐ is spectacular from Belum Rainforest Resort๐๐ณ๐ณ๐๐ก๐ก
Hmm…Why this resort๐๐ณ๐ณ๐ก๐๐กโโ๏ธ

Before the boat cruising,ย SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ปย has visited the treeย ๐ณ๐ณย planting centre as habitat conservation efforts for the firefliesย ๐๐ป
Not to be missed the beautiful sunset moment at jetty before the fireflies cruisingย ๐ถ
She ๐ฉ๐ปย has recalled that she ๐ฉ๐ป was amazed ๐คฉ๐ with the Chrismas trees ๐๐ซ alike surrounding when her parents ๐ด๐ป๐ต๐ป brought her ๐ฉ๐ป when she was a kid ๐ง๐ป for fireflies cruising ๐ถ
Hmm….Quite sad ๐๐ข to share that the Christmas trees ๐๐ซ effects no longer as great ๐๐ป as before. The fireflies numbers are declining โฌ๏ธ mainly due to the pollution, degradation of the water ๐ฆ๐งquality, clearing of river ๐ฆ๐ง reserves & mangroves ๐๐ณ๐ฑ๐ closer to the fireflies viewing ๐ sites etc. She ๐ฉ๐ป is proud & happy ๐ that various of conservation ๐ efforts has been made to conserve and rehabilitate their habitat e.g. trees ๐ณ๐ณย planting project with Berembang trees & Nipah trees
She ๐ฉ๐ป highly recommends๐๐ปto enjoy the boat ๐ถ cruising from Kampung Kuantan because the local community ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ here still using the small wooden boats ๐ถ aka sampan in Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ’s national language. The boats ๐ถ๐ถ are steered manually by a boatman ๐จ๐ฝ๐จ๐ฝ during the cruising ๐ถ There is another venue for fireflies cruising ๐ถ named Bukit Belimbing where electronic boats ๐ค are being used
She ๐ฉ๐ป was told the fireflies are more impressive ๐คฉ๐คฉ if it hasn’t rained ๐งโ๏ธ shortly before & if it is not a full moon ๐ night ๐
Basic firefly-watching ๐ etiquette includes,
Do not use your torch ๐ฆ / use flash ๐ธ to capture photos/ videos ๐น๐ฅ during the fireflies cruising ๐ถ as this will disturb & disrupt the fireflies’ mating
Not to talk loudly ๐ฃ & making unnecessary noise during the cruising ๐ถ
No smoking ๐ญ & littering โ is allowed during the cruising ๐ถ
Quietly enjoy the nature light ๐ซ๐ซ show by the fireflies. If you catch the fireflies & brought home ๐ก, a fine of RM1๏ธโฃk will be imposed
She ๐ฉ๐ป has captured a short clip ๐น๐ฅ from her fireflies cruising๐ถ, low lighting & only mild nature light ๐ซ๐ซ show by the fireflies being captured ya ๐๐
