大街的包子摊

在沙城有一个面包师傅，在城里的大街摆个包子摊，卖包子糊口。日子还挨得过去。

面包师傅很有上进心，把祖传的制包秘方加以改良，终于制出一系列的好包。

包子摊的生意从此就蒸蒸日上，客似云来。

大街于是热闹起来了，车子多了。

泊车位满了，路边也泊满车子。

“买包子罢了，泊一下子，不碍事！”大家都这么想。

从此，大街的交通缓慢了。

本来一口气可以从街头到街尾的车程，现在需要一辈子了！

面包师傅高兴极了！财源滚滚来。

他没看见。。。

爸爸赶不及回家烧饭、妈妈来不及送孩子上钢琴班、

救护车来不及送病人到医院、救火车赶不及去救火

。。。

闻名来买包子的人不介意排队。

他们不知道。。。

情人约会迟到了、朋友喝茶也迟到、

校车里的小孩咔在缓慢的交通里回不到家、下班的打工仔在车里嚼饼干。。。

只有十句话，我却看了十分钟

　　

第一句

如果我们之间有1000步的距离

你只要跨出第1步

我就会朝你的方向走其余的999步

　　　

第二句

通常愿意留下来跟你争吵的人

才是真正爱你的人

　　

第三句

付出真心　才会得到真心

却也可能伤得彻底

保持距离　就能保护自己

却也注定永远寂寞

　　

第四句

有时候　不是对方不在乎你

而是你把对方看得太重

　　

第五句

朋友就是把你看透了　还能喜欢你的人

　

第六句

就算是believe　中间也藏了一个lie

　

　

第七句

真正的好朋友

并不是在一起就有聊不完的话题

而是在一起　就算不说话

也不会感到尴尬

　

　

第八句

没有一百分的另一半

只有五十分的两个人

　　

第九句

为你的难过而快乐的　是敌人

为你的快乐而快乐的　是朋友

为你的难过而难过的

就是那些　该放进心里的人

　　

第十句

冷漠　有时候并不是无情

只是一种避免被伤害的工具

Broga Hill - sunrise hike

as the day breaks..... ... 期待...

... 失望 ...

hike through the darkness of wee hours of the morning,

only to find the clouds blanket the sky,

and the sun ray hardly reaches the earth ... 千幸万苦登山，却不见日出 ...

登山者追日应有的态度

不是怨天尤人，

而是...

下次再来！

人生何尝也不是

没有壮观的日出, 悠悠的天色依然迷人

Sweet couple

... gently through the grass ...

Lone man

... walking through the field of grass...

古早味 之 Bidor

Bidor ( 美罗 ) is a small town in Batang Padang district of Perak. Due to its location between Ipoh-Kuala Lumpur via the North-South Highway, its a popular spot for travellers to stop by for a snack of local delicacies.






Pun Chun 品珍 is famous for its duck-mee ( 鸭腿面 ). RM6.00/bowl ( if not mistaken ), its best to have it in the morning...
The restaurant also famed for its freshly deep-fried芋角, 老婆饼， 萨骑马,鸡仔饼, and other local produces.




Once a tin-mining settlement, today's Bidor is famous with its agricultural procucts too. Fruit stalls can be seen along the road leading to town and in the town itself... selling durians ( Durio zibenithus ) , manggos ( Mangifera indica ), pamelos ( Citrus maxima ), guavas ( Psidium guajava ), jambu air ( Syzygium samarangense) etc.
Petai ( Parkia speciosa )too can be found abundantly. With some luck, other exotic fruits also can be found.

Kellie's Castle

Kellie's Castle is located near Batu Gajah, Perak. It is easily spotted en-route from Ipoh to Batu Gajah - Route A8. The unfinished, ruined mansion, was built by a Scottish planter named William Kellie Smith in 1915.



Because of his fascination with the Hindu religion and Indian culture, Smith's plan was for this house to share similar architecture to those of Madras, with all its bricks and tiles imported from India. He even employed a big group of Indian labourers to build his dream house.

But it was not only the cost of importing material and labourers from abroad that made the house so fascinating to locals and travelers alike. Among the many amazing things about Kellie's Castle are an elevator (it was the first in Malaya) which connects right up to the top floor, and the existence of two tunnels that run under the river nearby. One of these tunnels connects to the Hindu temple some distance away from the main house. On the second floor, Smith planned to build an indoor tennis court — an ambitious project even by today's standards. On the highest floor, there is a rooftop courtyard for parties. This castle was to be the hub for entertaining wealthy colonial planters who had settled in Malaya. His house was so unique that it was even mentioned in the London Financier newspaper on 15 September 1911



Unfortunately for Smith, tragedies struck soon after the construction of the Kellas House began. A virulent strain of the Spanish flu spread from Europe to Asia soon after World War I ended, killing many of the workers in the Kellas Estate.

In the end, Kellas House, later known as Kellie's Castle, was never completed. William Kellie Smith himself died of pneumonia during a short trip to Portugal in 1926. His heartbroken wife decided to pack up and return home to Scotland selling the estate and Kellie's Castle to a British company called Harrisons and Crosfield.

Descendants of the Tamil labourers brought over to Malaya to work on the mansion still live nearby even now. Kellie's Castle is now a popular local tourist attraction and was used as a setting in the 1999 film Anna and the King
