Pottery at Gardenku

Last Saturday, which means 25th of April, I joined my school's Tourism Club to the nearest place---Gardenku, next to primary school to have a simple pottery lesson. Well, I arrived late that day, so I dint take many shot at the entrance.
Did you see there is 3 lady walking toward me? From left to right: Christina, Myra and Magon. Let's not waste our time, we started our lesson after every member arrived.
There are potteries' sifu(teacher) demonstrated the processes and skills for us. Then we need to do it by our own hands. =)
This is what my friend done, the shape very beautiful right? Yea, it is.
And then is my turn to do it, I did it twice because I dint satisfied with it the first one.
This is the first one. Unfortunately, the second one I don't know who messed it. Weird-shaped.
Our teacher adviser joined too after that. Next, we painted the tiny cup on the second lesson. Seriously, I did not know paint on the cup surface is so hard. The painted is watery and the surface of the cup are smooth. The paint will not maintain the colours on the surface.
My work. The third time I painted it. What can I conclude is, Oh My God! Is too hard for me!
We need to let it dry under the sunlight after we painted it of course.
Last lesson for that, I dint took much shot cause my hands are full of clay. I don't want to dirty my camera. Is a fun lesson that you can learned from them and those sifu are all Japanese. The course won't be expensive, is RM25.00 per person and the lesson start from 10.00am to 12.00noon.

Here's a video that I want to share:

The Making of Pot(Process)

Pet Please Door Stopper

This Monday, went to Queensbay Mall to buy indoor plant for my dad. I also watched Hotel for Dogs with mom, is a nice movie that I can concluded about it, those dogs are cute and I think they are fully trained by their master. I saw the door stopper and it's cute.
Is a cat-shaped stopper, for door actually. Mom get one too, but is dog designed and is different from mine. Got two colour to choose and I have chosen the pink one cause the blue one have already run out of stock.
They(designer) made it's tail longer so it can stuck on the the chink of the door. Is is easy cause is light on it's weight, pretty on the look. It only cost me RM5.00 for each. I think it will be affordable to me.
Is it cute like a virtual cat standing on the door side? LOL.

Penang Heritage Places One Day Walk(Part 2)

Sorry for dint update long time. This is the second post that relay on the Part 1. And yes! I need to mention again that I went to heritage walk at George Town, Penang with my schoolmate in the same society-- Tourism Club.
This is one of our famous tourist's places, the Malay Mosque which located at Lebuh Acheh. Founded by Tengku Syed Hussain Al-Idid, a Hadrami Arab merchant-prince from Acheh, 1808.
As you see this huge and slepndid building, is Kapitan Keling Mosque. Prominent historic mosque of Tamil Muslim community. Founded 1801, Moghul-style expansion circa 1910 by German Eurasian architect H.A. Neubronner. Do you know? This is the only mosque that let lady go inside to pray.
Sri Maha Mariamman Temple. Hindu temple consecrated in 1833.
St. George's Church, Southeast Asia's first Anglican Church, 1818, designed by military engineer and painter Captain Robert Smith of Bengal Engineers. Monument Francis Light in the grounds.
These old building are enemble of Chinese temples and association buildings. Chong San Wooi Koon. Cantonese district association, founded pre-1805, present building from mid-19th century. King Sreet Tua Pek Kong Temple, established circa 1850. War Emperor's Temple, late 19th century. Toi Shan Ningyang Wui Kwon, dating back to 1833. Ng See Kah Miew. Cantonese clan association, registered 1891, rebuilt 1913. Those are the building that you can find it on King Sreet(Lebuh King), and it's next to Queen Street(Lebuh Queen). If you are a cantonese, do you know where are you from?

In a nut shell, I learnt many about historical places in George Town, Penang.
I love Penang. ♥

Penang Heritage Places One Day Walk(Part 1)

It's been a long time I dint update my blog. Well, busying with school stuff and my homework of course. School first test had just over two weeks ago, everyone seem not really satisfied with their result, I'm the only one. Although test is easy as you expected, but my result still bad. Not to talk that first, last holiday which means the March holiday that just over, our school tourism club just organized a 'Heritage Walk' at this small Penang Island.
We went to Armenian Street(打铜仔街) to explore the cultural enclave, with historical attractions and galleries in the heart of the George Town World Heritage Site. What we went is SUN YAT SEN Penang Base(孙中山（mǎ lái xī yà de dì qū）');">槟城基地).
The indoor view of the base that he made visit to Penang.
These thing are in the Nyo-Nya Kitchen.
The abacus that they used last time, we replace it with using calculator nowadays. Besides, there is the safety box that they use to keep 8000 1/4 sens. Amazing right? The safety box need 8 adults to carry to some places.
Inside of the security box.
The next station, we moved on to Leong San Thong Khoo Kongsi.
We have to buy ticket before we get into there. Let's explore the mysterious and profound Chinese temple.
Did you see there is one coin stuck into the crack? Yeah, last time's people use to stuffed the coins into it, but unfortunately, they steal all the coins and left one here in the crack of the stone staircase.
This is where they placed their ancestries here at the Khoo Kongsi. Only the person that get graduated at any university and with the first name of Khoo, their name can be placed at here, but is only boys allowed. Part 2 will be continued on the next post article.
