Went to the Paddy Museum (Muzium Padi Nasional) in Kedah on Mar 22 (2008). The museum has been a popular place among Perakians; lots of my friends and relatives have been there somehow.

My mum was eager to pay the museum a visit too… so we took the chance to visit the place while visiting my sister in Seberang Perai during the weekend.

The paddy museum is located near Alor Setar, besides Gunung Keriang, a limestone hill. The highlight of the museum is actually a huge 360-degrees picture that features the bird eyes view of the surrounding environment around the museum, as well as the rice-growing cycle from ploughing to harvesting.

Went to MATTA Fair at PWTC with CY on Friday (Mar 15) to book a trip for Taiwan.

This fella, a representative at Taiwan Tourism Bureau’s booth, managed to draw a large crowd with his cute marshmallows, which were made on the spot and free for sampling.

Was hoping to catch some other interesting stuff at the cultural show (from various countries), but the performances were pretty similar to the previous fair… still ok anyway.

I love studying, but I hate exams. I am still having nightmares about exams occasionally despite the fact that I have not been taking any exams after graduating from university some 5 years ago.

I would dream that I got the exam date wrong, forgot to bring by calculator or writing tools, woke up late and had to rush to the exam hall and some other funny stuff. Well, the earlier two incidents actually did happen… I have no idea where the other recurring imaginations came from.

Sometimes, having nightmares is not really a bad thing. Every time when I woke up from these exam nightmares, I got the huge sense of relieve that I am already beyond those exam days, and it always made me giggled at how foolish those dreams were.
