Blogathon 2007 - Over and out...

Well folks the Blogathon 2007 is over.

A total of 61 entries were posted from 9pm on Saturday night till 9pm Sunday night by 10 ladies bloggers. Hmmmm... maybe next year we can have volunteers from the planet romeo ehh.

I got up Saturday morning with fever, chesty cough and banging headache. I thought of letting go of my slot.

Then I thought I have another 20hours to recover. I took paraceps and of course ubat batuk cap ibu dan anak. Felt little bit better.

So below are my entries, short and sweet, I hope.

I'm still feeling a lil' bit under the weather... I hope it will be better by tomorrow.

Till next year...Au revoir...

Bubbye and keep making a difference!!

When there's a beginning there will be an end.

My time is up and what a breeze... maybe next year insya Allah I can take 8 slots ehh...who knows :)

I'm passing the baton to [URL="http://dew107.efx2.com/"]Dew[/URL]

Go go Dew..go go Dew!!!

I would like to bow out with a youtube of Ali G in a comic relief show done couple of years ago. Comic relief is also a British Charity organization set up in response to the famine in Euthopia.

As you all know, Ali G will never penetrate Malaysia Board of of TV whatsoever.



Enjoy!!!

Bagan Datoh - Homestay

Still in Bagan Datoh, as I was driving along the "kampung" road, I saw a lot of the "Homestay" signage.

Ignorantly I told my mom, is Bagan Datoh where they put all the old folks? So many homestays....

My cousin's daughter who was in Uni, quickly then explain to me that "Homestay" is a place where foreigners usually exchanged students or profesors and even tourists come and stay to learn our culture. The government also place the researchers there to learn about our economy and drainage system. Talking about drainage, I hope they won't summarize our drainage system based on Bagan Datoh's only. That would be so behind time. At some areas they're bad smell because water just don't flow properly.

They usually come in groups which is why they are so many of them in Bagan Datoh.

These Homestays are certified by the government. The house must have certain standards and requirements such as proper bedrooms, dining area and most importantly the toilet and bathing area. Next priority is of course the cleanliness. The Homestays houses must be clean and neat and located among the paddy field and many others such as banana field and mangoes field.

These people usually come from various parts of Asia such as Japan, China, Vietnam and also middle east. They learn how to work in paddy field, pluck mangoes etc... Hmmm...very interesting..

The only thing that is depriving these Homestays from the Americans and Europeans market are their squatting toilet. Majority of the Homestays are still using this instead of the sitting pan.

As per my sister's info, this in one of the main economy sources for Bagan Datoh, Perak. And for that I strongly feel that the government should subsidize or educate the people of Bagan Datoh on the benefit of having sitting pan.

Oh..for anyone of you who likes to eat "sukun goreng", have you seen a sukun tree? I did snap a photo of a sukun tree or it's also called breadfruit tree.

Put a fried sukun and "keladi" together, I would not know the difference.

Bagan Datoh

Couple of months ago when I travelled to Bagan Datoh for my niece's wedding, I took some beeeyootiful pictures. Being a city girl my whole life so seeing things in the "kampung" or village excites me. Both side of my late grandparents home was in the city too.

And thank god, the pictures is coming in handy for now.

Apparently Bagan Datoh, which is in the state of Perak is the biggest rice producer for the country. I always thought it was Kedah. But please, this is not a confirmed statement.

Unlike in Kedah where we can see the paddy field from the road side, here we had to divert into the "kampungs" road to do so. You would not imagine that behind the houses by the road side was stretch and stretch of paddy field.

And funny I thought like in all paddy field they uses scarecrow to chase away the mice. But not in Bagan Datoh. You see the picture above labelled as the Bat House?

That's what they use to chase away the mice. They sleep during the day and fly out at dusk and throughout the night for food.

There, I hope this is just a good information to all as it was to me...:)

See you in the next entry.

Adios.
