Photos Of Raub Town


Raub Town

After savoring tamarind fish curry in Bentong, we continued our journey to Kuala Lipis. We stopped at Raub town to take some photos.

Raub Town

Raub was one of the gold production locations in Peninsula Malaya during the old times. Nowadays, Raub is not as prosperous as before. As you can see from the above photo, there are bundle of old shop houses in Raub town.

Raub MCA

The influence of MCA has already gone with the wind. The door of Raub MCA building is tidy closed.

Former Minister of Tourism Ng Yen Yen has not shown up in Raub for quite some time. May be she is enjoying travel around the world.


Raub Bus Terminal

Two buses were parked at Raub bus terminal but no passenger there. Although the weather was fine that day, Raub town was quite deserted.

Raub Taxi Terminal

The taxi terminal is located nearby the bus terminal. The condition of the taxi terminal is cozy with essential facility. Raub Central Market is available next to the taxi terminal.

Jeju Seongeup Folk Village


Seongeup Folk Village

Visiting to Jeju Seongeup Folk Village is as if taking a walk down memory lane. It's crystal clear that South Korea government is truly dedicated to improve the living condition of Koreans.

Seongeup Folk Village

Although the buildings in Seongeup Folk Village are built similar to the old times but they are different with the residence in Bukchon and the houses in Namsangol Hanok Village. It may be the living environments of these places are not the same.

Seongeup Folk Village

The stuff in front the house is hay. The hay is used for making house roof after tying with ropes. The wall of the house is constructed with lava rocks. The gaps among the rocks are filled with clay mud.

Seongeup Folk Village

The rock walls surround the house are also piled with lava rocks. As a small island, Jeju Island is always facing hit by strong wind. The rock walls are built for preventing the house from blowing away by strong wind.

Seongeup Folk Village

This stone pillar is the gate of the house of islander. If the stone pillar is not latched, it means the house owner is at home.

Seongeup Folk Village

These little yellow flowers are rape flowers. I was surprised with the name of these flowers after doing a Google search.

Seongeup Folk Village

Most of you know about radish but may be haven't seen the radish flower before. For your information, the flowers in the above photo are radish flowers.

Pengerang Ramunia Beach


Ramunia Beach

Before visiting Ostrich Farm, we went to Ramunia Beach to enjoy the cool sea breeze.

Located along the road to Desaru, Ramunia Beach is around 5 km driving distance from Sungai Rengit.



The scenery of Ramunia Beach is truly charming. Apart from swimming in the sea, you can picnic at the beach.

Pantai Nelayan Resort

In case you wish to watch the starry sky at night, you can stay in Pantai Nelayan Resort.

Pantai Nelayan Resort

The rate of the resort is affordable but I am not sure about the comfort of the resort.

Kota Kinabalu Atkinson Clock Tower


Atkinson Clock Tower

Located at the foothill of Signal Hill, Atkinson Clock Tower is the unique landmark of KK, Sabah. Completed in 1905, Atkinson Clock Tower is the oldest building in Kota Kinabalu.

Atkinson was appointed as the first district officer of Jesselton (Kota Kinabalu) by British North Borneo Company. Unfortunately he died at the age of 28 because infected with malaria. Mother of Atkinson, Mrs. Mary Edith Atkinson built Aktinson Clock Tower as a memorial to his late son.

After the destruction of World War II, Atkinson Clock Tower still guiding ships entering the Port of Jesselton. Because now there are many tall buildings in KK, Atkinson Clock Tower no longer serves as direction indicator.

Saga Tree And Saga Seed


Saga Plant

We dropped by Macau Gallery before our trip to Macau. It's truly unlucky that Macau Gallery was closed during our visit in July. So, we were unable to see the exhibits inside Macau Gallery.

Since we couldn't enter Macau Gallery, we took some photos outside Macau Gallery. While enjoy capturing photos, we discovered a few saga trees nearby Macau Gallery.


Saga Seed

Proton Saga is Malaysia manufactured vehicle. Tang Dynasty poet, Wang Wei described saga seed as lovesick seed.

BN ministers and senior officials relate saga seed with army. They label social media users who are not same wavelength with them as cyber saga trooper. No wonder police guns learn how to dive and refuse to return to police station.

Bentong Tamarind Fish Curry


Tamarind Fish Curry

Bentong Weng Kie tamarind fish curry is truly mouth watering.

We were savoring tamarind fish curry during Bentong blackout night. It's a superb dish of Weng Kie Eatery. That's why we specially drove to Bentong again to enjoy the fingers licking tamarind fish curry.


Wen Kie

We were lucky that Wen Kie Eatery was doing business during our revisit. Chatting with the boss of Wen Kie Eatery, he told me that he was just returned from Penang for his holiday trip.

Wen Kie Eatery

Besides tamarind fish curry, Wen Kie bak kut teh is also not bad. In case you are dropping by Bentong, you can taste Wen Kie bak kut teh and tamarind fish curry yourself.

Sekinchan Yoke Kuan School


SJKC Yoke Kuan

Before going to Sekinchan market, we passed by SJKC Yoke Kuan. We stopped there for a while to take some photos of the school.

SJKC Yoke Kuan

The mural of SJKC Yoke Kuan is truly fantastic. I wonder who had done this excellent job.

Pua Khein-Seng who had invented the first "USB flash drive" is the former student of SJKC Yoke Kuan.


SMJK Yoke Kuan

SMJK Yoke Kuan is located not far away from SJKC Yoke Kuan. This secondary school is the cradle of gymnastic. That's why Sekinchan is also known as gymnastic town.

Police Guns Learn To Dive


Gun

Same as previous years, Auditor General's Report 2012 is truly entertaining.

The missing of PDRM guns is the funniest joke of Malaysia in 2013. It's as clear as crystal that Minister of Home Affairs Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is the most fantastic joker of Malaysia.

Before switching to Ministry of Home Affairs, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was former Minister of Ministry of Defense. During his term as Minister of Defense, occurred the loss of TUDM jet engine. Now is the turn of police guns learn to dive.

May be the guns which like to dive have been good friends with marine animals and refuse to return to the police station.

Volkswagen Without Engine


Volkswagen

Besides fruit trees, there were two antique cars displayed at Jasin Selandar Farm. The cars reminded me of an old joke on Volkswagen.

The owner of a Volkswagen was very surprised when he discovered his vehicle's engine was missing. He called a mechanic to repair his car. The mechanic opened the rear cover of the Volkswagen. The owner whispered to himself, "Luckily Volkswagen is different with Malaysia TUDM jet."


Morris

Based on a logo at the front part of this car, it's a British manufactured automobile, "Morris". I had no idea about the model and date of manufacturing of this Morris.

I was unexpected to see these two antique cars during my visit to Jasin Selandar Farm.

One Way Road To Fraser Hill


Fraser Hill

There is a one way road going up Fraser Hill. Apart from that there is another one way road getting down Fraser Hill.

In case you are going to Fraser Hill from Kuala Kubu Baru, you will arrive at the junction going up Fraser Hill. On the other hand if you are traveling from Raub or Bentong, you will reach the junction getting down Fraser Hill.

Visitors to Fraser Hill should follow the rule to avoid accident.


Fraser Hill

There were many cars queuing at the junction going up Fraser Hill when we arrived there. We were told that there was an upgrading work ongoing at the road getting down Fraser Hill.

I took some photos at the foothill while waiting for the gate to be opened.


Fraser Hill

There was only a road going up and getting down Fraser Hill in the past. Vehicles had to take turns going up and getting down.

This is the photo of an abandoned rest house. Before that, tourists dropped by the rest house to have food and refreshment while waiting their turns going up Fraser Hill.

Volendam Cruise

The return ticket to Marken Island from Volendam is 8 Euro for adult and 4.5 Euro for child. Not certain 6.75 Euro is for what. May be it's the fee for single trip.

Strolled Around Bentong


Crystal Hotel

We stayed at Crystal Hotel during the blackout night at Bentong. Crystal Hotel is located at Bentong town centre and near Bentong Bus Terminal.

Kai Ji

The next morning, we looked around Bentong town for breakfast. We decided to eat "Kai Ji" wanton noodles.

The coffee shop was packed with customers. I can't comment the taste of the wanton noodles because I wasn't feeling well that day.


Bentong Market

After taking breakfast at a coffee shop, we proceeded to Bentong market nearby. Bentong market is close on Sunday. Only some stalls outside the market were doing business.

SJKC Khai Mun

There is a Chinese primary school not far away from Bentong market. The school is SJKC Khai Mun. We were heading to SJKC Khai Mun to take photos outside the school.

Perting New Village

Since the market is close on that day, we went to Perting New Village to buy Bentong Ginger. Besides Perting New Village, there are several other new villages.

Bentong Ginger

Bentong Ginger is quite popular in West Malaysia. A kilo of Bentong Ginger costs RM 10 in Perting New Village market but it's RM 16 in Bukit Tinggi.

Actually Bentong Ginger is originated from Bukit Tinggi. It's truly funny that the price of Bentong Ginger in Bukit Tinggi is more expensive compare with other places.
