Geographical revelation!


Ok it's been a long time since I made a blog entry... and so the latest update pertains to my geography knowledge (or lack thereof) regarding Southeast Asia ;p

Today in aviation law, I realised that East Malaysia is actually not within Peninsula Malaysia itself.
Rather, East Malaysia (the yellow coloured land) shares a piece of land with Indonesia (the purple coloured land), which means that East Malaysia is separated from the main land of Peninsula Malaysia by a very big body of water (much much much bigger than the sea off Changi Beach) even though they belong under one State!
Makes you feel that Pulau Ubin or Pula Tekong arent so far from main land Singapore after all ;)

Six years of primary school, four years of secondary school, two years of junior college, three years in university... and this is by far the biggest geographical enlightenment I've had! Wahaha
This would explain why I always thought that Kota Kinabalu is in Indonesia when in actual fact its in East Malaysia...
