<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Last year was the first
time I ran full marathon and it was during the Penang Bridge International
Marathon 2012, with a distance of 42.195km. It was a pain in the arse
attempting to run that far without trainings at all! I couldn’t walk for days.
I only managed to complete about 35km in the 7hrs qualifying time. But it was a
great experience. All this while, I joined and completed 10km runs, then half
marathon in 2011 until I koyak in full marathon last year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">About 5hrs from now, I’ll
be standing at the starting point with tens of thousands runners in the same
event and same category again. Crazy I know! I am stubborn but I am determined
to finish the unaccomplished race. It’ll be an uphill task. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Yesterday I had diarrhea
and nausea. Went to see doctor but stomach is still in pain. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">How to even run later? Yes
it crossed my mind to just pull out, use that lausai as an excuse. But damn!
It’ll be so lame. Even a handicapped man ran last year! A sea of fear in me
right now. Heart is thumping fast. I am so damn nervous right now. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I’ll wear a shoe later. I
took my shoes in the middle of Penang Bridge while running back to the starting
point. I’ve bought power gel and some chocolates too, to eat during the run. I
get sleepy easily, lack of oxygen and sugar I guess. I'm not going to carry my DSLR and run later, as I did last year. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I know I won’t be able to
complete the run in 7hrs. But then it’s possible lah. I’ve made some calculation.
If I can maintain running for at least 100.2meter in 1minute, I can finish the
run on time. I’ve timed myself, I achieved 900meter in 5minute. But to continue
running for 7hrs, dream on. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I believe mind conquers
all. You can do it. Yes you can. Push yourselves to the limits. That’s how
people emerged stronger. It’s all about your mind. Never give up! Many people
will be skeptical and look down on you but it’s ok. You do it for yourselves. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">My aim this year? To run.
And to run further than my previous records during the stipulated time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Run! I will run! Run until
I can’t run anymore. This will be the race of the year, the one and only
marathon I joined. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">All the best to all runners.
See ya! If you see me walking, ask me to run. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Go out early because it’ll
be jam everywhere and many roads will be closed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Since there’s still time,
let’s take a nap and spend some precious time in the toilet. =p<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Tomorrow is the day – GE13<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I can choose to be quiet but there are things that I fear
if I don’t say it, I will live in regret for the rest of my life. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
It hurts me so much knowing that so many dirty tactics
happening in Penang, my beloved state. This could be the dirtiest elections
ever with so many cash handouts, lucky draws, free food, free-flow beer and
outdoor entertainment.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Dear relatives, unimates, classmates, coursemates, enemies,
childhood friends, friends from near and far, tomorrow is the day where the
rakyat will go out to cast their votes in this 13<sup>th</sup> General Election.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Those of you who can vote, do it. Come out early. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Some people are too young to vote, but you can. You’ve
lived at least 21 years in Malaysia’s soil. You know what have been happening.
You know who’s doing well and who’s not. You know if media is censored. You know
many things from the internet, although some are just plain rumours and fake. But
you know that there’s really something shitty happeining to your country. You’ve
seen, heard and experienced all of it yourselves from education, human rights,
police treatment and so on. Are you going to be a bystander and take a
so-called neutral stand? Stop this bullshit!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Feel helpless no more!! You can make a change! The power
is in your hand now. You can change all these nonsense! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I don’t give a damn shit who you are voting tomorrow. But
come out and vote! Each vote counts. Vote for the candidate and party which you
think can bring harmony, peace and wealth to the rakyat and country. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
If you are happy with the present system, vote them. If
you feel there must be a change, so that life would be better, vote them! Nothing’s
wrong to vote for new persons and parties in while you kick the badass out. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Voting is a privilege. And to vote for anyone or any
party you prefer is your rights. No one can stop you from doing so. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The most awaited moment is just hours away. So do your
part, will yea? Let’s make a difference. This is the time for you, Malaysians,
do something for Malaysia, your country. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Let’s make tomorrow a day to be remembered. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
No matter who wins, let it be peace and harmony. Don’t create
troubles. Handle it with rationality and maturity. The elections results will
determine our future. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
As a first time voter, I am so excited and nervous. I
wonder how it’s like to step into the polling station, getting the ballot
papers and put an ‘X’ on it. Hahahahaaa. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Malaysia milik kita. Milik kita semua, bukan puak puak yg
kaya, extreme atau racist. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Today is Thursday, 25 april 2013. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Which means it’s the sixth day of campaigning for this 13<sup>th</sup>
General Election. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
It has been six days I’m staying in Kepala Batas,
covering this whole parliament and the three state seats under it: Penaga,
Bertam and Pinang Tunggal. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
In this six days, my moustache has grown longer. My
finger nails also long long already.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Kepala Batas is a slow place. Really. Nothing much at
night. No entertainment, no traffic jam, not much of police presence. Paddy fields
every where. Chinese and Indian eatery place are so less that you can count by
hand. A lot of mamak restaurants and Thai style makan place. Original and authentic
Malay food also none, as far as I know. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
It’s damn hot here. But for three consecutive nights
since Tuesday, it has been raining cats and dogs. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Anyway, tonight is an interesting night.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I just finished work at 1.30am.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Staying in a small town is not a bad thing. People here
are really friendly and they watch each other’s back. You can feel the real
human touch. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Went to interview some local political figure and he
treated us aromatic Chinese tea. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
For the first time, I visited a wake of a Chinese funeral
in the midnight, plus, joined by an election candidate, plus, with a group of
Muslims. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Fuyooo. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Funny thing is, before I enter my motel, my pixman and I
washed our face and hands. For Chinese, it’s a must-do tradition after we
attended a wake. But I didn’t know it’s the same for a Malay (or maybe
Muslim?). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Then the air-con in our room is missing, under repair. Now
we have to use a stand fan, a fan with no angin. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Both are half-naked and yet sweating.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
I feel hot tonight. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I can’t wait to go back to Penang (island). I miss my
parents, my siblings and my girlfriend. =p<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
*it’s actually Friday already because it has passed
12am.*<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
But I know it has been ages. Months. Too long. I stop
blogging actively ever since I started working. Blogging for me is too
personal. Blogging is a personal expression. And I don’t want the readers or
public to link it with the company im working with. And I don’t want to be allegedly
being a supporter to any political parties. And I’ll hate it if people accuse
or label me as a bad employee from my postings.<o:p></o:p></div>

Remember this song? Sounds familiar? It's a song from Indonesia actually but i duno why it was so popular among the Chinese community when i was a kid. I grown up listening and humming this song. I remember listening to it at that time and I still know the lyrics today. There's even a Hokkien version of this song. But I duno la the original version is which one. =p</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow; font-size: large;">Manusia jadi malas apabila mereka tahu mereka boleh
bergantung kepada orang lain dan senang mendapat bantuan tanpa berusaha keras
sendiri. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span></div>

boleh p tuisyen. Nak berjaya kalau, usaha kuat sikit, jatuh bangun sendiri. Mak
bapak sibuk kerja, nak cari duit, takde banyak time nak manja dengan anak. Tapi
kalau tak kerja, mana ada duit, mana boleh beli nasi, nak beli buku, permainan,
elecktrik dan air? Kenalah orang mcm kita bangun pagi otomatik, siap pakai baju
minum Milo, jalan kaki pukul 6.30am p naik bas awam p sekolah. Budak sekarang,
bertuah sangat, nak ini, ada ini, nak itu, ada itu. Nak answers, abang kakak
bagitau. Hali hali duk FB, duk smartfon, duk TV!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

So many child have gone missing. So much crime victims have died. But suddenly one political party came out like it cares the most, launched campaign to look for the missing 6-year-old <span style="color: cyan; font-size: large;">William Yau Zhen Zhong</span>.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;">Why har? Why only now? Why at this time when General Election is about a month away? Why William?</span> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And I thought political parties now claimed they are across racial lines but isn't William a Chinese? Why I don't remember you asking your party members to look for other non-Chinese missing child? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Am I being paranoid? OK maybe William's chubbiness caught your heart. You analyse yourselves lah. What I hope is this is not just a <b><span style="color: red;">publicity stunt</span></b>. I hope those appeared on the newspaper giving out flyers etc were not hypocrite and merely putting up a show. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are sincere, launch a campaign to get back Satiskumar Tamilvanan, 5, and M. Jethendran, 16, too. What if one day, it's your kids who are kidnapped or gone missing? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">I do agree with some people that we should leave William's family alone, for now.. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Put journalism business aside, this is about being humane and understanding. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: yellow;">I apologise if my thoughts caused uneasiness to some quarters.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">My blog has been so super quiet for some time.
Seriously I have lesser time to sit and write on my thoughts here. It can be
tiring to write again after work, as researching, interviewing and writing are
the things I do everyday. Since it’s an off day, let’s fill something in my
blog. =p<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It’s a lovely sight to see school kids converging
the public bus stops again. If you are not aware, the schools have re-opened today.
The public busses are packed with the students who either go to schools or to go back
home. School busses are back on the streets too. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was one of them who used public transport to school. I remember waking up 6.30am the latest, then walked along the quiet long street just next to the graveyard to the nearest bus stop. Hahaha. Those were the days. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My thought about this is these kids are
independent. They do not have to count on their parents to send or pick them up
from schools. Or maybe their parents do not have the time to do so. Most of these
kids (if not all) are from the middle and lower income families. These type of
families where got so much time to do the sending and picking up job? Time is
spent with work to make ends meet. And these are not the kiasu parents I would
say. Are the more than average families over protective? Or are they have no
confidence in their kids and the public transport? Or is it because you know, they
are scared to let their kids out on the street?
Scared their kids will be sweating over to the hot weather, got
kidnapped or robbed, dirtied and so on? These kiasu kiasi parents are the main
cause of the traffic congestion in the morning, afternoon and evening. Hey parents,
education and social awareness start from you. And please don’t farking block
the entire road just to send or fetch your price/princess. You cannot die if
you park your car somewhere or park your car nicely in front of the school. Damn
it! </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Perhaps this is a way to show their love to their kids, by sending and picking them up from the schools. Hmmm...</span></span></div>

It’s her
first day in Form One and first time wearing the sky blue pinafore. She’s
studying in Penang Chinese Girls' High School (PCGHS). As a brother and as
someone who has endured hardship and challenges, I just want the best for her. She’s
grown up so much. She starts to rebel and fight back. But I’m happy that she
knows about what’s going on with the country. I hope one day she can render her
service to the nation. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am not showing off. But I want the world and
those who feel like giving up to know that hey, I never train before and hey
it’s my first time running Full Marathon. But hey although knowing and
expecting that I might faint on the bridge, I did not quit even before the race
day. I ran, I jogged, I walked, I sat, I squat, I laid on the bridge, I was
barefooted, I kneeled down in pain and I did whatever shit I can to complete
the race. Not for a second I stop and give up on myself. Until the very last
second of qualifying time of 7-hour, I was still waking until the sweeper bus
asked us to get in. And I stopped the bus at the last 1km. Then slowly in great
pain, I walked to the the finishing line. I made it. I failed to complete
42.195km but I did 34km++. If you don’t believe in yourselves, no one else
would. It’s all about your mind and heart. For those who give up even before
you give anything a try, you are going no where. MARK MY WORDS!</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

And don't bitchly add people if you put up some fake names as if we know you. Save your time from adding new friends if you put your name with the name of fruits, cartoon characters, colours, celebrities, politicians, animals etc. FYI, it's so not glamour and kanasai. Pathetic and sickening. Don't send request too if you don't use your real face as the profile photo, put some celebrities photos as if in real life u r so handsome and pretty like them, and don't allow people to view your profile photos. FB can make you go popular but if you are ashamed of your face and body awarded from God to u n u r embarrassed of the name given by your parents, stay away from me. Go ciaksai if you can. Can you see the small stones over there? Yea just go play far far. thank you. </span>ocehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17214241116550672837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-142436717736136635.post-61805214103626343732012-10-27T18:43:00.001+08:002012-10-27T18:48:47.222+08:00when i die<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
When I die, I want to die with a lots of good memories and rich life experiences.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I don't need a lot of money, materials or luxuries. I can't bring it down to hell or up to heaven. It's all useless. I don't need all that. So mahuan to be rich. Later you don't know who should inherit it. Donate it to the needy? Of course I will. But I have been doing it every now and then. I do charity when it's possible. I don't have to be rich by the time I'm old and donate it when I die. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My principle is simple. Live simple live happy. Simplicity is happiness.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I enjoy my life and it's never dull. Everyday something new is happening. I learn new things everyday. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My life is a beautiful journey because I know where to go, what route to take and what I want. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's not how long I live, but how rich my life is. </div>

What change??<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b><i><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Change?
What change?</span></i></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

very ironic when people say they want to change or they have changed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">If you
really want to change yourselves, you don’t have to tell the world, you can
just whisper confidently to yourselves and do it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">It
happens all the time when the people who confidently or maybe unconsciously say
they want to change, ended up remain the same, some worse. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">And how
do you know you have changed? Simply telling people that you’ve changed will
not prove that you’ve changed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

change in you does not shown by what you said but through your actions. If you
are a changed person, people can notice it without you saying it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Only an
attention-seeker with low self-esteem will keep on telling people every now and
day, almost every time that he/she has changed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

funny and questionable here is hey how many times have you changed. In a week,
you said you have changed for few times. So which is true? What mask are you
wearing now? You changed from A to B to B to C to Z to D to K to T to X or
what? What’s your formula, boy? Mind to share?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is a very important, heavy and full of responsibility’s word. You don’t simply
use it unless you have done it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

us want to change from bad to good but only those with strong heart and mind,
dedication, perseverance and sincerity prevail. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

change takes time. There’ll never be a change if there’s no first step. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

you have to change the way you are now before you go out and tell anyone that
you want to change or you have changed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

biggest enemy in your life is none other than you, yourselves, not anything or
anyone else. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

change is only a change when it has happened. If not, at all time, it is just a
mere slogan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

those Kamparians and UTARians, I’m sure you know where this place is. I just
want to let you all know that this row of shops/houses in Old Town, Kampar has
destroyed due to the fire that broke out on Monday morning/Sunday midnight. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

heart crashed into pieces when I heard the news. I have fond memories of that
place. This is the oldest row of wooden shops/houses that is still around in
Kampar. It’s older than the pre-war houses at the surroundings. It’s a
historical place. The tin miners used to stay here too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

know that the film “Kinta”, if you jeard of it, was filmed here?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

still sad with the loss. I just love that place because of the feel. I have
lots of good memories in Kampar and that row of shops/houses. I remember there
were bicycle shops, kopitiams, grocery shops, a fresh vegetarian shop and some
residences. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

structures are testament of older generation that still living in the
developing Kampar. Every morning you’ll see market goers and senior citizens
dropping by this place, have a sip of coffee, hang out and chit chats with their
friends. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

haven’t captured and documented the shops in details. I guess I don’t have the
chance anymore now. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

memory does not disappoint me, there was a talk in year 2010 that the row of
shops/houses and other rows of houses at the back will be taken back by the
land owner for development puposes. The other rows have been demolished in
2011. But I’m not sure why this particular row remained until today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
