合艾水上市场篇

合艾的水上市场， 不像曼谷著名的水上市场般的闻名，也不太一样。据我所知， 曼谷的水上市场是顾客和小贩都在流动的小舟上的，合艾的却是小贩门在小舟上，在河岸旁，固定小舟，然后在小舟上贩卖各种特色小食。第一次见识到这一类型的贩卖方式， 真的很有意思。 小食大致上都经济， 而特别的是那里用来盛面，米粉类食品的容器均是瓦作成的， 品尝完了后， 还可以把那容器带回做纪念。用来装饮料的却是瓦类和竹子， 就连吸管也是竹子。 喝起来还真的别有一番风味。

合艾是去年年尾去的。这一篇却一直都没有发布。

人来人往， 来来往往

平静的倒映在水面上

那一时刻的美丽，

足以令人屏息。

荷塘 倩影

Beautiful Water Lily with lovely reflection at Penang Botanical Garden

Calming scenery at Penang Botanical Garden. Greenery scene, spiced up by colourful flowers blossom. 

I was hoping to have some fresh air but sad, the air there, was somehow lost its freshness, with people smoking there.

Even they grow in muddy water, lilies always rise without being "stained" or "polluted"

Nowadays, it is so hard to be un-stained and un-polluted by the social sickness.

Pearl of Orient-Georgetown 1

Temple of Goddess of Mercy-Beauty of Georgetown, Penang

Little walk in Georgetown the other day, enjoyed even walking under hot sun. Georgetown is a city with soul. Wherever you look, you have to look with your heart to feel its true beauty.

在繁华的都市里， 还是有一偶， 呈现着最纯朴的一面。
年轻的一辈， 把空闲的时间都花在了虚拟的世界里。
唯独在这古迹区里， 大家放慢了生活的脚步。
细细的， 就如品茗般，
感受纯朴真实的一面。

Conference ++

Crystal Mosque at Kuala Terengganu- Photo taken with phone.

NOTE: Conference ++ bears the meaning of attending conference as the major purpose but with fun and pleasure activities which are indicated by the ++ sign.

One of the greater event of July will be the conference attending at Kuala Terengganu. Bus left from Sungai Nibong, Penang on Sunday night at 9, arrived Kuala Terengganu at 5 in the morning. Lazed around lobby of Ri-yaz Heritage Marina Resort and Spa, enjoyed the breath-taking dawn. We checked in the chalet style room, with 2 deluxe single bed and a beautiful verandah.

I went to conference registration, got my kit and name was called by someone i know. Then i headed back to room, and had a power nap. It was feeling so great as we were all worn out by the long bus journey. We had some food at the verandah restaurant at the hotel, then headed for our little town sight seeing, which was the ++ part of the journey.

We left our shoes prints on Chinatown, He An Gong (Chinese Temple), floors of Pasar Payang, Bazaar Warisan, Kubu Puteri, Masjid Abidin Kuala Terengganu, and the promenade outside of Istana Maziah on our very first day in Kuala Terengganu.

The next day morning, we attended few sessions of the conference, then continued with out ++ program. Destination: Pantai Batu Burok. We spent time-stopping moments there, sitting on the observation tower on the beach, fully enjoyed ourselves with what ever happened on the beach as we had the perfect view of the coastline. Fish throwing accident, voice-over story making were the highlights of the day. That night, we wondered around town on foot, for nearly 4km. Great experience.

The last day in Kuala Terengganu, I had my presentation on the first session of the day. Less than the given time (8mins) i finished presenting. The chairperson said that its timely presentation, i take it as a compliment though. We checked out the hotel, packed and ready for the very last adventure of the town. We went to experience Batik painting, boat making workshop, Floating Mosque of Kuala Terengganu, Crystal Mosque, again market in the town, followed by durian fest given by our lovely guides. We were on board of our chariot at 9pm, and arrived at Sungai Nibong, the next day morning around 5.

An eye opening experience i would say. I got to learn a lot. Will never forget it.

台湾的一个学生， 用了这样的一个设计来表现大多数父母对孩子思想上的印象。 现今的社会里， 这样的父母大大的存在。 硬生生的把自己的思想给万万全全的给孩子冠上。 不久将来， 许多的年轻人可能都不懂如何思考了， 更不用说是在外独自生存。


父母们，让孩子有属于自己的一片天空吧！ 不应该把自己做不到的就这样要求孩子可以帮你完成， 让他们了解你那迟来的梦想， 还倒不如让他们去展翅翱翔于无际的天空。
