old news, remaining effects

the paddy field looks like the ocean
salam all, this post is a lil bit different bcoz, it is last year's news..i decided to post this bcoz it happened to my hometown in alor setar, kedah..as we all know, kedah was hit by the worst flood in history last year around november..so me n my family went to visit our relatives there. unfortunately, my camera was under repair at that time so i only had my hp camera to capture some of the scenes. sorry for the bad quality, n the unparalleled photos bcoz i snap this photos while hitchhiking a sand lorry, leave me a comment..THANK YOU~

tebalkan muka


Scene ini diambil di kawasan pasar malam yg berlansung setiap hari di kawasan kota kinabalu, yang menarik perhatian saya ialah keadaan fizikal budak ini yang cacat sedikit iaitu sumbing di bhgian muka. walaupun cacat, dia tetap menolong ibunya menjual ikan di pasar tersebut tanpa perasaan malu walau banyak mata yang memandang.

Pulau Gaya transportation style~


gambar ni diambil di kawasan jeti di pasar pagi sekitar kota kinabalu. sprti yg dpt dilihat di dlam gmbar, Pulau Gaya terletak bertentangan dengan tanah besar jd main transportation untk ke sana sini adalah dengan menggunakan bot. sy berminat untk berkunjung ke pulau itu tetapi menurut seorang pnduduk di sana,  pnduduk pulau gaya ramai yg tidak mempunyai dokumen sah atau pasport/permit/visa jd agk berbahaya untuk prgi ke pulau tersebut.

the streets of GAYA streets market


Recently, i had the opportunity to visit Sabah with a bunch of friends..so on  the last day of our trip..we visited the famous Gaya Street Market which is in the morning from 7am to 12 noon..what i noticed there was the spirit of  Chinese New Year is still in the air as the chinese lanterns are hung all over the street and absolutely adding color to the place. the market over there is quite different from our market in the Peninsular as they sell a lot of crafts n souvenirs like beads, pearls, key chains, t-shirts and much more, and like all markets, beggars are spotted at every corner of the venue.

how i spent my cuti raya cina

Baru2 ni ialah perayaan Tahun Baru Cina, so plajar2 uni smua dpt cti slame seminggu, so memandangkan cuti yang agk lame..maka macam2 aktiviti la yg boleh dibuat untuk mnghilangkan boring..n sperti kbiasaan dlm family sy..cti pnjg mcm ni mmg confirm akn blik kampung cz time ni la the only time smua ahli2 nk gather selain raye puase..my kampung are in kedah n p.pinang, negeri sebelah2 so 2 2 pun smpat singgah..


sbb CNY, n banyak jugak org cina dkt p.pinang, so byk la letupan bunga api dekat kawasan rumah tok dan tokwan sy tu..so me n my spupu decided to go shoot bunga api tu dekat area RnR tepi pantai yg also known as Pantai Bersih..smpai je sane, smua bunga2 api dah abis main..n yg berlonggok2 kt kwsn tu buknnya org cina yg beraya, tp org melayu yg memancing..kt sini sy ada ltak gambar kawasan tu..quite interesting coz ramai org suka melepak tepi pntai ni n mmancing..ade fmily yg bwak khemah siap bercamping n mmancing.


the next day..kmi 1 family gerak blik ke kedah pulak, cz ada fmily gathering n BBQ..sblum smpai tu..singgah smayang magrib dlu kat masjid zahir, alor setar kedah, and the view was sooooo MAGNIFICENT, masjid zahir ni seingat sy, dlm bulan puase msti akn ada ramai peminta2 sedekah/zakat yg duduk dkt luar pagar..Dkt blakg masjid tu plak ade sungai yg sgt besar..n again, langit sunset aritu yg sgt cantik..Subhanallah.



n lastly, sempat jugak kitorg spupu2 ni g enjoy ourselves dekat "The Carnival" Sg petani..ala2 sunway lagoon jugak la..but slightly smaller n games kt ctu ade la 3 4 je..okla for Sg Ptani standart..hehe..cuace sgt la panas kt kedah, 35-40 degrees kalo x hujan..wlaupun panas terik, org yg bkunjung kt tmpt ni still bduyun2 n agk crowded..so nmpk la masyarakat majmuk 1Malaysia kt tmpat ni..
