PAINTBALL !!!!

Hei guys this is pretty cool. Paintball in Penampang and its only take you less then 10 minutes from Penampang town to reach there. Penampang Point Paintball is located in Kg. Tanaki Penampang. Got to know this place from a good friend of mine Murphy. This place is actually located just right in front of their house. Hmm.. I wonder why...:) . Well Lest get back to the topic, seriously I never been to this place (I had my second baby and no chance to go, sibuk jaga anak ba :)) or have I any clue about paintball. So as usual I did my little checking and got to learn some new stuff. I can see that few Sabahan bloggers have shared their adventure in Penampang Point Paintball Field. I'm hoping to experience the fun soon. Ba Murf, bila buli timbak-timbak?

According to Lost Valley Paintball, paintball is one of the most exciting outdoor recreational sports in the world and was started in 1981 by a group of 12 people in New Hampshire. If you wanna learn more, you can just click on the high lighted Lost Valley Paintball.

Here are some pictures of the Penampang Point Paintball.

Well this is what I can conclude about this game, you can shoot your friend any time and will not be angry at you. What a game huh. :). Who knows in the future this paintball field can produce a team representing Sabah or even Malaysia in a competition. Good luck guys. Penampang rocks!

Jatropha Curcas for Bio Diesel

Have you ever heard of Jatropha before? I bet most of you won’t know what is Jatropha. I got a chance to visit a Jatropha nursery in Penampang last week so I as usual I will share my experience with you. J. By the way, the local name of this plant is called pokok jarak. If you happen to notice in our news paper or event on the net, its ability to produce biodiesel has been proven and some countries are actually using it right now. Besides the oil, I understand that jatropha also has its medicinal value especially for skin dieses. O and it is actually poisonous. Hhmm.. complicated yet very interesting. According to the owner of the nursery, the purpose of him setting up this jatropha nursery is to starts of a commercial planting here in Sabah. He added that they used specific fertilizer to enhance the growth of the plant.

Front view of the nursery, very simple set up yet a lot to offer.

One month old seedling, very healthy and ready to be transfer and to be prune. If I'm not mistaken the seedling cost RM1.30 per bag. The fertilizer is really working well on the seedling eii...what do you think?

This picture show an inter cropping between jatropha and local vegetable. If you have an abounded land and would like to plant some jatropha, this is one of method that you can do while waiting for your jatropha to produce its real money.

Three months old jatropha. Its really growing well and started to produce flower.

Discussion with the owner.

My buah tangan (souvenir) from the nursery. The owner's father have been very kind to me.
