Kellie's Castle - The Rear wing

The unfinished construction

The scorching these past few days really making me not in the mood for anything except water, water and more water intake! I barely even touch the computer not until my son requests for his online play date that I'll swing along to use it.

This time however, is the Kellie's Castle rear wing which was supposed to be for the owner's wife/kids. It was a magnificent piece I must say with the decaying paint really brings out the structure.

Kellie's Castle

Side view / Main stairs entering the castle

Weekend is over, which means I can go back tethering my phone for many other things than Facebook - LOL.

This is Kellie's Castle (Wiki facts), an English castle located in Batu Gajah, Perak which was constructed before the 2nd World War. It didn't get to finish due to war & outbreak but this is (I think), the only original English castle in Malaysia.

The journey of le old road to Taiping landed us here as our last pit stop as it was near to sunset and to our luck it was still opened for public due to the current school holidays. This is the side view of the castle once you climb up the main stairs towards it.

Balik Kampung !! / Journey going back hometown !!

Coming back home

While trying to spot another scene on this le old road journey back to the wife's home town in Taiping, Perak; I noticed these teenagers on motorcycle with their large bags on their back. Clearly they were returning home from a long journey. This really reminded me during my college years when the festive season came (mainly Hari Raya - the day which ended the 1 month of fasting) and we were all going on long holidays. Everyone packed their belongings as much as possible, as neatly as possible, as economical as possible into one large bag with newly bought clothes, gadgets & the dirty 1-month-due-to-wash clothes; all to be proudly shown during the festive season (minus the dirty clothes which actually begged to be home wash for the fresh home soap wash smell - LOL). Everyone was so excited that books & studies never come across one's head but instead the faces of loved ones, family reunions and the taste of home cooked food. It sure packed a very enjoyable story for each every soul with especially the face on parents faces the moment you reach the door step (and also that special friend too!).

Padi field - The Malaysian & Asian diet

Do you eat rice??

Another pitstop from le old road towards Taiping, Perak. This time around with perfect clouds I stopped at a padi field. Padi which produces rice is one of the biggest diet in Asia where in my country Malaysia is a large part of our diet. Yup, we have rice at nearly every part of our meal.

Choose your road to your destiny

Which will be your road?

This le old road to Taiping, Perak surely makes a shutter addict like me on a non-stop pitstops by the road side just to get a view of this!! - LOL.

Loneliness

Lonely road, Lonely hearts, Lonely mind

Been away again for a while. Lots had happened only leaving me lonely everywhere. But on every dark cloud, there is always a silver lining. I only have my thanks to the Almighty that showed me the path, that gave me strength and I don't want to bore people with it. So lets go on with this picture's story...
