Sekinchan Day Out 25 Aug 2013

Today is another Sunday which the father of the children took us out for a short day trip – Sekinchan. We have never been to this small town before. I have heard about it the green wide paddy field and the blue sky.

Sekinchan is a small town located in the state of Selangor, Malaysia. It is about 102 km north of Kuala Lumpur, and 28 km from Kuala Selangor.

Sekinchan is in the middle of the main rice-bowl area of Selangor, in the Sabak Bernam district. It is one of the major rice producing areas of Malaysia.

Sekinchan in Chinese mean "village suitable for plantation', the land and weather is suitable for farming of rice, fruits and oil palm trees. It is the highest rice production per acre in Malaysia.

Total farming land paddy and fruits is about 4,300 acres. You can see a wide green paddy field on your right when you arrive in Sekinchan. It also popular as a fishing village.

The wide view of Paddy Field in Sekinchan would show the visitors different feeling in different time.

In the month of March and September are the rice transplanting period, the view of the paddy field is green. During the harvest season, June and December, the paddy field is look like gold yellow colour.

It is a bit unfortunate for us that, this time around it was their clean up and rest time, thus most of the paddy field is look earth tone colour.

Some of the paddy field just starting the transplanting, thus it is a little greenish and we still can see the water path too.

In this Sekinchan paddy field, we can drive right beside the paddy fields. There have roads connecting the a small village located (Site A) in the centre of the Sekinchan paddy fields.

Along the way, we can find water path (aqueduct), little bridge, birds, bird house, farmers and their giant machine.

In the paddy field in Sekinchan is dotted with many customised building structures that are the homes of the swiftlets.

Swiftlet farming is a new a industry in Sekinchan, about 350 units of bird house has been build up in the middle of paddy field, this make a new beautiful view in the paddy field of Sekinchan.

After that, we were heading to Pantai Redang. Pantai Redang is a hidden beach in Sekinchan, that is worth a visit in Sekinchan, particularly if you are already tired of repeatedly shooting in paddy fields at Sekinchan.

In fact, Redang Beach is very near the seafood restaurants area at Bagan, we had our nice seafood meal there too.

There were a few tree house there and a Chinese temple near the beach, with a huge wishing tree just next to it.

There were stalls food, drinks, selling kites, soap bubbles, fish or prawn crackers, etc. There is even a stall selling fresh oysters too ^^. Yum! Yum! Very delicious!

We have an great afternoon time there. Children were laying lazily on the fishing net on the tree house.

Well it is a great day out for us. They really enjoyed the trip and have great fun there.

In fact, after we came back to our home at USJ, before the children slept, I noticed that Issac cried… I have a heart to heart talk to him, he really miss his Daddy very much… He is so afraid that, he might loss his Daddy again…

I feel so heartache when I heard what he said. I too, cried… Later in the night, I SMS to his Daddy, told him about this… I told him that, no matter how or what happen, both of us should try our very best to make this time of relationship happen and workout for our children sake.

Kinki in the House

I brought Kinki for grooming today. Kinki is a bit fat compare with others puddles. Just now when I went to take her back, there were 5 or 6 others puddles there in the pet shop. All of them are taller than her. There are 2 groomers busy trimming and grooming all the dogs.

Now Kinki knows how to listen to me. When I tell her to sit down, she listens and obey. This is so fun!

Mega Vision Contemporary Art 10 – 18 Aug 2013

“ Every artist has his own path of life. Even if the path is thorny and lonely, they are unperturbed and persist in their pursuit of art without giving up. This is the fundamental spirit of the Mega Vision Contemporary Artist Guild. ”

“ Mega Vision Contemporary Artist Guild was formed in 2002 by a group of very experienced and competent artists from Hong Kong. Throughout these 11 years, it has actively organised many highly-acclaimed exhibitions. There are only a small number of artists participating in this Mega Vision Art Exhibition, as the main purpose is to give each artist the opportunity to demonstrate their individual style. ”

“ The four established artists from Hong Kong are Au Yeung Nai Chim, Wong Lo, Leung Kai Ming and Liu Cheng Mui; while the other four from Malaysia are Yap Hong Ngee, Foo Yong Kong, Puah Kim Hai and Khong Miaw Leong. ”

“ The exhibits on displayed include calligraphy, ink painting, oil painting, print and photographic works. The beauty of these creative contemporary artworks is like the display of a multicoloured rainbow. ”

We came to Wisma Kebudayaan SGM again. This time is to collect Issac consolation price for the pencil artwork during our visits to her Teacher Jane Yap art exhibition – Dots . Lines . Circles.

There was one day, Mummy received a call from a Kuala Lumpur telephone number, I picked up and had been informed by the person over the phone that Issac had been given a small price for what he had drew previously. She asked us to go and collect the price. I was so happy when I heard that! My son really do have a talent in art, even though he is not smart in his studies… At least, it is something what Issac loves to do – drawing and colouring!

I just requested the lady who worked at the SGM to present the price to Issac, so that I can just took a photo of Issac. He is really happy too ^^.

And, it is so co-incidentally that there is another art exhibition going on, so we think that why not we just went to the exhibition and have a look on it. Teacher Jane Yap dad – Yap Hong Ngee also is one of the featured artist too! That make me feel joy and wanted to have a look at his paintings!
