A day trip to?

Assalamulaikum everyone ;)

Time flies...it’s been a while since our class trip to the Paddy Museum at Gunung Keriang, Alor Setar, Kedah. In fact, we went on April 27th. 2012. But, somehow it just felt like we were there yesterday. Why did we have this class trip? Well, it was part of our English Language Enrichment class activity. Since, this is a non-credit course (no exam, no coursework) our lecturer, Mdm. Shirley suggested that we do something different apart from the normal classroom-type of interaction sessions.  That was how this trip came about.

This is actually my second visit to the museum. During my previous visit, I did not get to experience the revolving platform on Level 3 as that section was closed due to renovation work. Happily, this time around, we were able to go up to Level 3. This section is unique because of its gigantic wall to ceiling mural which gives visitors a 360 degrees panoramic view of a Malay village and its surroundings. There are about 40 theatre-type seats fixed on to the revolving platform. Visitors can sit and enjoy the view.  Initially, I was thrilled to sit down and take in the view, but after a while I got bored because the revolving speed of the platform was too slow (that’s just my opinion, ok)

Here are some snapshots taken at the museum.

We really had fun at the museum. 
After our tour of  the Paddy Museum, we rested for a while and had lunch at Jitra Mall. had rest for a while and took our lunch. Our next destination was this:

Lye Huat Garden

Unfortunately, the place was temporarily closed due to renovation work. Oh well, nothing we can do about it......except to pose for photos in front of the entrance.
Anyway, this trip was a good break for us all to unwind and release tension before the end-of-semester exams.
THE END OF OUR JOURNEY



Love,
Mas :)
