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..

so me n a few friends went outing to shoot some scenes in LITTLE INDIA, KLANG..as semua org tau, tempat ni jam packed dngn the indians community, so tempat ni lebeh kurang mcm jalan TAR la utk dorg..terase cam dkat negara India btol2 coz smua kedai kat sana is Indian owned they sell stuff for indians such as saree, manisan, jeweleries, tukang tilik pon ramai dgn burung2nye..yg pling mnarik sudah semestinye stiap kedai MESTI ade pokok pisang yg diikat dekat tiang kedai dorg..n according to seorg kawan, ade perayaan "thai ponggal"  Thai Pongal is celebrated on the first day of the month Thai of the Tamil calendar. The day normally falls between 12th and 15th of the month of January in the Christian calendar. Thus, Thai is the first month of the Tamil Almanac, and Pongal is a dish of sweet concoction of rice, moong dal, jaggery and milk. This festival is celebrated by one and all as it is non-relevance to any particular religious faith. The whole Tamil population of the world celebrate it without any differences. Therefore it is widely known as "Tamil Thai Pongal" or the "Festival of the Tamils".
