Argh, This Thesis Seems Like Forever!

Assalaamu'alaikum wa rahmatullah

  

Haiyoooyooo... So bored lar looking at this lousy thesis all the time and nothing is changing. I wanna travel again!!!!!! I wanted to see Nongkhai Dragon Fireball Festival in North Thailand along the Mekong river. Too bad that it only happens in October. 

This April is our semester break, I must quick finish and send this idiot thesis to the lecturer before April, must must must.... hahahaha. In April I guess there would be Songkrant New Year festival around Thailand and Southern China border. I badly wanted to visit North Thai. If I go out and work again I am not sure when I could do crazy things again. Before we go to any place we need to check in detail about the trip and its safety so everything at least could be according to the plan.

I envy undergraduate students, huhuhu.... Why I didn't do all of these when I was an undergraduate student??? Owh yeah, I had forgotten I borrowed PTPTIPU only quarter of the real amount that I should apply and it's strictly for studies. I didn't even go out from USM except when I was in the first year. Still young in spirit and feel shy to go out, hehehe. I regret I didn't take Amir together with me to visit Thailand or maybe Myanmar or Cambodia by train or by bus. I don't care if I have to pay everything for him only to show him the real life. That guy wasn't so open-minded though he seems Americanized. Maybe traveling would open up his mind but we're already in distance. Perhaps, he could also learn to spend nights in bus station or train station, hehe. He was the only friend that I spend most of my time last time and still is helpful, haha. 

I'd like to ask his help to finish up with silly footnotes. Of course its not free nothing is free in this world. I must compensate his time and torture to see lots of alphabets. I'm sure he's gonna swear to me, loll.

Sealed with prayers for mercy, peace, and love, amin!

CNY 2012: Georgetown III

Wat Thammikara, Burmese Temple

This one is Myanmar Buddhist temple. I had been here last time and experienced being locked because the time was out. However, some pictures were lost. Many tourists inside whether they are Buddhists themselves or Muslims. I meet few Sri Lankan and Iranian Muslims as well in the temple snapping here and there. Two monks at the statue are ready for blessings. Another one is in the hall. This one is in the sala a pavillion at the side of other hall. Monks could speak English as compared at the front one.

These statues representing Buddhism in countries like Afghanistan, India, Nepal, Iran, Cambodia, Thailand, and etc.

Pavillion of Buddhist saints

Depiction of Siddhartha Gautama Buddha life

Many migrants from Myanmar staying behind the temple. It has a hostel for travelers and they prepare donated foods not only for monks but also for travelers.  

Wat Jayamanggalaram, Thai Temple

This place is popular with reclining Buddha. Behind the reclining statue, there are boxes to keep ashes of the dead. The place to sanctuary those ashes is known as bua which means lotus. I had been here few times before. I don't know what else is so interesting because many places had been explored in Georgetown. Maybe I need to find ecological places or going to war museum as well.

Pulau Tikus

Finished a half day today through this walk. I walked from Jetty and around Komtar to Pulau Tikus. Take the bus from there to the Jetty and changing to return to the campus. It's quite congested today because people in the mood of celebration.
