It's me

Yeah the site for our design studio is a ex mining area at kampar
Therefore we were having a 3 days trip to kampar

The first thing that we did when we reached there was listening to a brief on the site that we were staying - Kampar new town

After that we went to our hotel room
Here it is....

our hotel room ( not the full view of it as there were 4 person per room)

view from the canteen

the class room

I've no idea why are they have this thing in the middle of nowhere ( reminds me of the colleseum)

digging hungrying for tin ore

Mendulang ( never expect at I would have a chance to see it live )

Pam kelikir ( never expect that I would have a chance to see it too)

Next we went to our site and there is a big dredger welcoming us there

OMG live one man but it's not functioning la :P

Breakfast at the hotel

Day 2 (22/5)

We are able to wake up a bit late as it was on our own...
A "tuk tuk" was hired for 200 bhat after our breakfast to take 3 of us round the town for about 6 hours ( the "tuk tuk" do actually waited for us after dropping us at a point) ...
It sounds cheap... as it's only RM20 for 3 for 6 hours yet waiting for you at every spot...
you can take your own sweet time
But later we found out that it cost only about 50 or 60 bhat which is about RM5 or RM6 for the same service

Damn kena con!!!

The first point that the "tuk tuk" driver brought us to was the so called Floating Market
We need to hire a boat in order to get there which cost 3 of us 1800 bhat (RM180)
and to our disappointment it's not the floating market that we normally see in photo or TV
The one that we normally saw was located at a place which took us 2 hours drive to reach there
Damn kena con again!!!

The rest of the spot were OK but the enterence fees is on our own expenses of course...

At the end of the trip ( anyhow he did not finish the journey as promised earlier on), yet we gave him 100 bhat for tips .
Damn, how stupid are we....

Oh ya, and the "tuk tuk" driver loves to bring tourist to the jewellery export centre in order to get some free gasoline for their "tuk tuk"...
It's tiring whenever they say that we need to go to that place...

Day 3 (23/5/08)

After being conned earlier on, we decided to walk to the temples that were left out during the "tuk tuk" ride as it is within walking distance
Depending solely on the tourist map we went to the National Museum which is the largest in South East Asia and Wat Mahathat

Met with a friendly lady from Chiang Mai who claim herself to be a doctor who came for conference over here...
That's when she recommended us to go to the silk centre and the jewellery export centre(again!!!)

Then to the TAT company to ask for the price to the floating market....( actually kena con again ) the only thing that we are smart enough was we decided not to buy the Calypso ticket at the TAT company....
they wanted to sell 800 bhat while we can get it for 450 bhat at place near our guest house

Wanted to go to the Grand Palace but it was closed at 3.30pm.. Damn...

so we went to the Wat Po instead ( sleeping buddha)

Thai National Museum



Can only take the picture of the outer part of Wat Phra Keaw

Really a place for a King

Yeah... went for a trip with them again...
To Pangkor Island this time.... on the 17 - 19 of may
Was rushing for my construction model the night before in order for me to be in the trip...
Damn tiring...

good shot

Basically that's what what happens ...

car... ferry... island and the place....

Then after that went for a boat trip which cost us RM20 each person to take us round the island and a 20mins snookerling

Erm... not to say a marvellous one but reasonable... I guess...

Yeah and we rented 4 motorcycle as we have 8 person on the trip... 4 boys and 4 gals

oh... it's easily to pair up... haha

sounds a bit like pairing up for relationship purpose... :P

We discovered 1 creepy spot on the island when we were riding the motocycles round the island..

It was a road beside the cemetery area... there were huge tree along that particular stretch of road, the leaves overlap each other perfectly without leaving any space for the sunlight to squeeze in ...

The place was so cold that you might have thought of the air conditioner that you have in your house.

You will only feel cold on that spot

Yee, creepy..... (dare not take a picture of it :S)

为什么两条平衡线没有焦点？
因为固执的人没有柳暗花明的一天

为什么人们知道钢和铁的分别？
因为他们习惯用颜色和贫富和他人画清界线

为什么往上抛的球会坠落回地面？
因为散播出去的流言蜚语会有攻击自己的一天
为什么这个世界会有人的出现？
因为快乐正在等待被发现

可是为什么人们喜欢将是非挂在嘴边？
因为那是唯一能平衡自己的消遣
为什么每天有许多纷争在蔓延？
因为诱人的的利益熏黑了人们的双眼

为什么越来越多人迷惑在城市间？
因为太多欲望种植在他们的心田
为什么聋人的听闻的事天天在上演？
因为这是一个只有人的世界

This was picked up from a lyric and I think it is meaningful to reflect the life of human being
Don't you think so?

Wohoo... hair cut by Mr Min Byong Kwon in Shunji Matsuo Midvalley Boulevard

Since Kaoru is no longer there so I've decided to give him a shot and his skill turn out to be not bad
what turned out is what I like espeacially the bouncing effect and not too layered feel of it
although it might be expensive but I think it's worth it.

Yeah, after the hectic weeks before external review though there are still many more to do...
A hair cut would make me feel better
CUT off the stress, CUT off the miserable days, CUT off the boring part of my life :P

CUT CUT CUT !!! C-U-T !!!!
