Wak Caruk Padang (Sik Temple Made in Glass Bottle)

It's the last post of  Hari Raya celebration in Kedah , and I will blog about my dearest mum's 47th birthday tonight or maybe tomorrow morning , so , stay tune :)

Wak Caruk Padang is a new Buddhist temple in Sik , decorated with 15,000 bottles,
The first of its kind in the country, the "bottle" wat, is adorned
with recycled drink bottles of various shapes and sizes, for more
than 9m from the walls to the rooftop.The temple, which belongs to the over 200-year-old Wat Caruk Padang,is located at Pekan Batu Lima in Sik, Kedah.I will write down the coordination on footer :p
Temple committee member Ow Ah Kow said the new wat was built at a
cost of RM200,000, with donations from Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand
and Malaysia.Some 15,000 bottles, donated and bought, were arranged by the
contractors to fit onto the walls and the roof and to harmonise with
the temple architecture.

There have 108 bell inside the Double Storey Clock Tower . They believe , their wishes will achieve and dreams come true when the bell sounded naturally . I didn't take so much photos cos my stupid Canon have some problem , it show me full battery , but it start twinkling and shut down automaticlly after I captured about 10 photos !!Will upload more photos if my hubby finish editing .I'm so sorry :(

Hey Hey , it's the Sunset post of Holiday in Kedah .
I'm so sorry that I don't really have time to blog cuz I didn't take too much photos and I'm rushing my new project recently . REGRETTED so much till I hope I could rewind the time , or maybe not :(

Front Door view of Kedah Fort . It became the office of Perdana Menteri  ,so we are not allowed to go inside :(  Due to Hari Raya , so many landmark haven't operate until School Re-open

Kedah Fort Located at the estuary of the Kedah River, Kuala Kedah Fort was built in 1780 by masons who were specially brought in from India for the task.  It was built to prevent invasions from the sea by the Thais during reign of Sultan Abdullah Mukarram Shah.  The materials were specially imported from India and the cannons from the British.

Today, Kuala Kedah is also the departure point to Pulau Langkawi and famous for seafood.  There are a few restaurants you can choose from the fishing village across the fort. 

After shooting around Kedah Fort ,we all rush to Kuala Kedah Beach for sunset shooting .

And it's the view over Kedah River (on the way to the beach)

Really WORST TRAFFIC CONGESTION on the way to Kedah Beach

Yet luckily , we reach there before sunset ,phew.

Have to walk very be careful ,wear thick slipper and  keep your eyes on ur leg while you walking , cos the beach full of sea shell , not sand .PLEASE DON'T FALL DOWN!

We are so lucky enough to see the complete sunset and capture the ferry

Fantastic view. Don't think I can find this kind of view in KL.

My dearest cousin took an awesome photo by her iPhone 4S, shell on the reef that looks like a birthday cake

Mae-Salong Thai Restaurant , Sungai Petani

Only when my hubby upload these photos on last few day  , I realised I missed blogging about this place in my mum 's  hometown. I actually went there during Hari Raya for dinner :P Anyways, I hope it’s not too late to blog and until now, the review of the place is so far still good and standard is still maintained.

Mae Salong Restaurant!

Isn't it a special name?
It is actually a name of a village in northernmost of Thailand.
And it means "Hill of Peace"

Peaceful isn't it? =D

After we placed our orders, I took a stroll around this place… and took lots of photos too..

Served with the appetizer - Ikan Bilis with Peanut.

10 minutes later, our order arrived.. it was very fast…
