Jing Si Aphorisms . 静思语（五）

There are two things in life that can not wait, fulfilling filial piety and doing good deeds.


We help others with our palms down, and we ask for help with our palms up. Helping brings happiness, begging brings pain.


It is better to have a generous heart than a spacious dwelling.

Gundam Strike

These gundam photos were taken at March 2008 with my Canon A700 compact camera. Added some texture effect to make it like poster. Don't be surprise that I have more than ten gundam models in my home...童心未泯...haha! ^^


My kid loves gundam too but he always confused with transformer :P

Kampung Hutan Gelam

29th of Nov, morning. Again, I was riding motorbike to explore new scenery spot where is not really far from my hometown. At the beginning, I wanted to go back to Kampung Alor Senibong to snap some water lily pictures. While heading to this location at the main load of Langgar-Pendang, I have seen a group of coconut trees which were few kilometers away. Then I've decided to change my direction and paid a visit to this new explored location called Kampung Hutan Gelam.

transmission lines

Gunung Keriang was too far from my position and sunset was approaching.

I always explore new places with my 10 years old motorbike. Seriously, I do not know the location name that I've stopped by.

Power transmission lines with nice clouds formation background.

Sunset came a bit earlier, around 6:30pm

Initial thought was to take sunset photo of Gunung Keriang (Keriang Hill) on last Haji public holiday. However, I couldn't make it due to some unexpected reasons and ended up transmission lines became my shooting target.

We do not have a claim on our life, but only the right to use it.

Giving vent to anger is temporary insanity.

Recognize, appreciate and repay your parents' love.

Paddy Museum Kedah Darul Aman

Following information is copied & summarized from a brochure;

Paddy Museum Kedah Darul Aman is situated at Gunung Keriang, 8km from the city of Alor Setar. It was officially opened on 12th October 2004. This building which is structured after 'gemai padi' which looks like a bundle of paddy stalks consists of the main building and six other secondary building surrounding it.

The main objective of building this museum is to establish the foremost museum that exhibits materials and item related to paddy that include the culture, research and development as well as the extension of paddy technology. The museum covers an area of 12,000 square meters and has three levels.

Level 1: At this level the visitors can have an insight into the history of paddy planting in Kedah, to observe the various varieties of paddy and to witness the traditional equipments used in paddy planting and also nearly extinct catching fish equipments.

Level 2: This level has six galleries. These galleries exhibit drawings that depict the agricultural activities starting from the olden days to now.


Level 3: By climbing 59 steps, visitors can reach the peak of Gunung Keriang. From here visitors can watch the panoramic view of the traditional village and lush paddy fields. Visitors will be definitely enthralled by the panoramic view of the process of paddy planting from land preparation up to harvesting in the form of mural and landscape. It is the biggest and the most beautiful mural in Malaysia.
