Wonderful Short Trip

25^th July 2010. A wonderful Sunday… I had a wonderful trip with my KPL colleagues. Though its for job purpose but for some reason, I enjoyed it very much. Thanks to Pn.Zuraida for this wonderful opportunity… and also thanks to Pn.Jamilah as she allowed me to go. After all, its my last week of practical in the ministry of tourism…

                I still remember, that day I was from my hometown, Teluk Intan heading back to Ipoh in the morning .. coz I had to reach Taiping on that day. So, after packing my stuff at my rent house, I started my journey together with my colleague, Ain (another practical student from UUM) to Kuala Kangsar. We were supposed to meet our colleague, Aiman (another practical student from UITM Penang) in Kuala Kangsar and from there we went to Taiping together. Haha…

                So, we reached Kuala Kangsar and we had our lunch nearby the river bank. The place there was so peaceful and nice scenery. Though the food was just ok, but still satisfying.. then after lunch, we stopped by and had a bowl of cendol. Somehow I still think the cendol I once had in Sitiawan is better,, wakakakaka.. I had a chance to have a glimpse of the well known Ubudiah Mosque in kuala kangsar and the royal palace of perak… those buildings was so beautiful and I was stuned by their uniqueness… (I wish I could just go there again and look clearer) … we were just by pass the royal town coz we aint have more time to spent there. So, Aiman came and met us, and I just put my car in his house and we started our journey to Taiping using Aiman’s car. Hehe (save duit petrol)..

i can shoot water out from my mouth.. :)

                Taiping, the land of peace… is another wonderful town that I haven’t been for almost 10 years since my last visit there. I will surely go there again and have a good look of the town…  well, the focus is regarding the lodge we were staying. It’s the Kamalodge hotel and café… omg… I will never forget my stay over there as the place was superbly beautiful with fresh air and a very cute swimming pool.. the pool was located in front of the lodges and though the overall area was not large… but it is enough to let tourists feel relax and enjoy their stay. Nice rooms, with nice food and facilities. One word explained it all… GORGEOUS…

my bed

our house

                I was sharing the room with Aiman… and we had our swim in the evening.. the pool was not deep and it is safe to just dip ourselves in the water. ( cant even swim coz its too shallow)… so, after a short water playing activity session, we got rest and waited dinner time. The dinner was another big surprises… well… it was a barbeque dinner and there it was, my favourite grilled lamb… that night, the dinner was superb.

                The highlight of the day was our trip to Taiping Zoo night Safari. Right after dinner, we (myself, Aiman & Ain) went to the night safari. We enjoyed ourselves there very much. Looking at the wild life during night time and we took the safari train ride to go around the safari while the driver explained the animals to us. There were only 3 of us taking the ride as there was not much tourist that night. Maybe due to the rainy night and though it’s raining drizzling, we enjoyed ourselves very much. After the short visit in the zoo, our night ended in a mamak stall in Taiping. Had our supper and head back to the lodge. Believe it or not, Aiman and I did something outrageous, we jumped into the pool though its already 1 am in the morning… OMG it was so F*#king freezing in water.. but one thing for sure… it was FUN!! Hahaha..

                The next morning, we did dropped by Majlis Perbandaran Taiping and have a brief look on the Act Tourism Course… back to Kuala Kangsar  and claim back my car… and drove back to Ipoh… and there I was… I was back again to office… enjoying my very last week of my practical training in KPL…. Hahaha….

Rintihan Hati

Siapakah diriku sebenarnya? Aku , Eddie Quah cumalah seorang insan biasa yang lemah. Cukupku sedari yang kita sebagai manusia tidak akan terlepas dari mengharungi suka dan duka dalam kehidupan.

Aku yang dikenali dengan sikapku yang periang pun kadang kala terasa pilu di hati. Bak kata pepatah, bumi mana yang tidak ditimpa hujan. Namun pun begitu, aku tidak akan membenarkan diriku bersedih dengan terlalu lama. Kehidupan ini ada juga kegembiraan dimana mana sahaja. Adalah teramat bodoh dan membazir sekali sekiranya kehidupan ini disia siakan dengan kesedihan.

Apakah yang ku perlukan sebenarnya? Sudah menjadi lumrah kehidupan dimana manusia ini sememangnya tamak. Aku pun tidak lari daripadanya. Aku mengaku yang ku juga tamak orangnya. Kalau boleh ingin ku tamak segala-galanya dalam kehidupan ini. Inginkan segalanya untuk diriku ini. Tapi, sering kali aku mengingati diriku… gembirakah aku sekiranya aku memiliki segala-galanya??

Diriku eddie quah, mahukan bukan dari segi wang ringgit. Bukan dari segi harta dan kekayaan. Aku cukup gembira dengan diri ku yang hidup dalam keserdehanaan ini. Ku pun berharap yang pada suatu hari nanti, akan ku menjadi kaya… dengan rezeki yang ku peroleh dengan tangan ku sendiri, dengan cara halal. Tetapi kini… pada umurku yang menjangkau 23 tahun, ku masih mempunyai jalan yang amat jauh untuk diteroka. Akanku merealisasikan impianku dengan secepat mungkin dan dengan perancangan yang bernas.

Kini aku, hidup dalam kekurangan. Aku semiskin miskinnya umpama orang yang telah jatuh papa kedana. Bukan dari segi kewangan, bukan dari segi jumlah harta. Tapi ku miskin dan aku dahagakan keyakinan diri serta sokongan. Cukup kabur pandangan mataku terhadap masa hadapanku, meraba dalam kekaburan mencari laluan ku ke masa hadapan yang cerah. Memerlukan panduan yang amat sangat. Tapi… ku percaya yang pada suatu hari nanti… penglihatanku kini akan menjadi beransur baik dan dapatku melihat jalan jalan yang ku akan jalani dengan penuh semangat dan menuju ke kejayaan mutlak. Tapi kini, walaupun dalam kekaburan, ku mempunyai sokongan padu dari ahli keluarga tersayang.

Ayahanda dan bondaku pernah sekali bersua denganku.. “anakku, buatlah apa sahaja asalkan ia dapat diterima oleh hati nuranimu, kami tidak mengharapkan apa apa kekayaan darimu tapi cukuplah sekiranya kamu hidup selamat dan bergembira” … kata kata semangat yang ku terima dari kedua orang tuaku cukup untuk dijadikan bekalan dalam kehidupanku untuk selama lamanya... walaupun sekarang aku dah besar panjang, aku merasa ku masih anak bongsu mereka yang kecil dan manja. Dari bangku sekolah lagi, aku cuma memegang satu ayat ayahku dijadikan pegangan iaitu.. “belajar biarlah bersungguh-sungguh, dan asalkan telah buat yang terbaik, redhalah dengan segala keputusan yang diperoleh dan yang paling penting, jangan sesekali memaksa diri”.

Aku adalah siapa diriku. Eddie tak perlukan orang yang tidak mempercayaiku, tidak menyokongku. Aku mempunyai visi dan hala tujuku sendiri. Aku tak menyalahkan mana mana pihak atas pandangan mereka sendiri. Cuma berharap diriku ini mendapatkan penghormatan yang ku berhak miliki.

Akhir kata, rintihan hati ini bukannya apa, cume satu luahan dalaman yang ku pendam pada diri sendiri setelah sekian lama. Inginku luahkan dan berkongsi bersama di laman blogku ini. Sekian salam sejahtera dan salam satu Malaysia.
