Kg Jeruju, Jerlun, Kedah
Kg Jeruju was a village in the middle of the paddy field, it is a homestay style hotel organized by the local agriculture agency. Although is in the middle of the paddy field but it is also very close to the sea. Imagine that!
As you can see, there are fishermen boats at the local quay. If you look closely, the quay is just beside the paddy field. Neat isn't it. Well if you ever drop by the state of Kedah, do visit this homestay.

Tasoh Lake Resort
Kedah trip 2009
Do you know what is a paddy field? A paddy field is what rice comes from.
It's located in the Asian country and Malaysia is one of them. This is a paddy field in the northern state of Malaysia that is Kedah.
Paddy has just been planted, takes about 4 months to ripe.
Ok, this is the Paddy Museum also know in Bahasa Melayu "Muzium Padi".
Its give you a brief overview of paddy from A - Z. The main attraction is the 360 degress of perspective mural. Sort of a virtual overview of Kedah on top of Mount Keriang. It has a movable spinning platform. The mural itself is very cleverly perspective to the human eye. It takes Korean artist and engineers 2 years to study & research and 6 months of mural painting. A brainchild of Tun Dr Mahathir.

Kompleks Sukan Air Putrajaya
PUTRAJAYA 21 Dis. - Pembinaan kompleks Taman Cabaran Putrajaya yang menempatkan kemudahan sukan ekstrem bertaraf antarabangsa bernilai RM40 juta dijangka siap menjelang Februari tahun depan.
Presiden Perbadanan Putrajaya, Tan Sri Samsudin Osman berkata, segala kemudahan di kompleks itu memberi peluang kepada lebih ramai remaja menyertai sukan ekstrem yang kian mendapat tempat di kalangan golongan tersebut.
Menurut Samsudin, kemudahan yang terdapat di kompleks seluas 28.3 hektar itu cukup lengkap untuk membolehkan acara sukan ekstrem bertaraf antarabangsa dianjurkan di sini pada masa akan datang.
Bagaimanapun, jelas beliau, buat masa ini pihaknya ingin menumpukan kepada usaha menarik golongan remaja di Putrajaya dan kawasan sekitarnya memanfaatkan kemudahan di kompleks tersebut.
"Sebenarnya kompleks itu belum siap sepenuhnya tetapi sudah terdapat golongan remaja yang meninjau dan dilihat membawa basikal mereka ke situ.
"Ini petanda baik kerana selain mempunyai kemudahan sukan air, Putrajaya juga mempunyai tempat khas bagi tujuan sukan yang mencabar," katanya.
Beliau berkata, kompleks itu akan dibuka setiap hari dengan bayaran minimum yang tidak membebankan bagi menampung kos penyenggaraan selain dikendalikan oleh tenaga pakar dan jurulatih dalam sukan ekstrem.

Wayang Pacak
Wayang Pacak or open air cinema, which was popular in the 60's and 70's, had been the source of entertainment, education and information among the rural folks in villages and interior areas.
During the era, Kementerian Penerangan or a chinese company would bring the film. The film was projected on the white linen cloth that was stretch across the field resembling the cinema screen. A cinema film projector was used and sometimes due to non ventilation, the film got burn by the hot lights of the projector.
The will be 2 cans of films and during the break, normally there will be a few minutes of explanation by the Kementerian spokesman or the chinese promoting their products.
As I remembered some films that I manage to see is Kung Fu film, Cowboys western, Indonesian horror fim and as well as P.Ramlee movies.
Today, they simply played on a DVD palyer and projected using a slide projector.

Kuda Kepang
Kuda Kepang
Home made kuda kepang
My son's kuda kepang that will be presented @his school. The tail was made by my wife. Nice isn't it?
The Kuda Kepang is a very interesting dance from Johor.
The dance was once a form of totemic worship.
The dance had strong links with spirit possession and often dancers went into a trance-like state.
However with the Islamisation of Malaysia, this dance now generally renders the tale of nine Javanese men who spread the Islamic faith in the interior of Java.
The nine Muslim evangelists rode on horseback and dramatized stories of the battles waged and won for the cause of Islam to draw and hold the attention of the congregation.
Kuda Kepang is performed by nine dancers who are seated astride a two dimensional 'horse' made of hide or pleated rattan.
The dancers re-enact the early Islamic battles in enthusiastic gestures and vigorous action. Naturally as time as moved this dance is seen very much more for its entertainment value.
This dance is performed in accompaniment to a rich and exotic rendition of traditional music played with indigenous instruments such as gongs, tambourines and angklungs.
