VISITING KAMPUNG AGONG IN PENAGA, PENANG - PART ONE

   16th AUGUST 2024    ~ The Johor Delegation to the national level symposium became tourists before the event started. We were taken to this attraction in Penaga, Pulau Pinang, which was quite popular.

It was a kind of ecotourism and should be something exciting for city dwellers. Once you passed through the entrance, right in front of your eyes was the lush and green paddy field and coconut trees.

There just too many scenic spots where one could take tonnes of photos. This should be one place people come just to strike as many poses as possible and enjoy the village lifestyle for once.

MY ACCIDENTAL HOLIDAY IN SUNGAI MATI, MUAR

12th JULY 2019 ~ What happened when two city boys found a school surrounded by paddy fields? They set an adventure of their own, away from the pack.

We were stationed at SM Lughatul Qur'an in Sungai Mati, Muar, for 3 days, from 11th - 13th July, for the state level chess competition. On the second day, I was already finding my way out of the school compound, and someone was forced to accompany.

We managed to venture out quite far in the middle of the paddy field. I even had a short conversation with a farmer who was resting in the gazebo there.

The view of the paddy field in the morning was really spectacular - yellowish field as far as the eyes could see set against the bright blue sky in the background. I wouldn't mind sitting there doing nothing for hours. I was glad I found peace just for a few minutes but how I wished it could last much longer.

and then you will understand everything better."
