Alor Setar: Ori Bee Farm

I was attracted to some photos of this palace I randomly viewed. Since then, I was so eager to pay a visit and finally, I have left my foot steps here. Hooray~!



It was a hard time to locate Ori Bee Farm (Ladang Madu Kelulut Ori 银蜂园) as there was no specific landmark around. We have been passed through stretches of paddy fields along the main road.

In the light of a GPS coordination (6.162525,100.311558), finally we have found the legendary farm! If you are a first timer being at Alor Setar, do not seek for the farm's address as it would bring you to somewhere else. My humble suggestion!

As a matter of fact, I was expecting it to be a real bee farm which rears a vast number of bees. However, I did not manage to see any bee here. In the first place, I was trilled when we were welcomed by a Doraemon at the entrance! A DORAEMON! I have been loving Doraemon in any event. For the most part of it, I have totally forgotten to look for a bee here.  Ang Ang Ang~



The next best thing that caught my sight was the lovely couple next to the entrance. So adorable right???


I was later awed by the luscious creatures on the ground. Pumpkin! Could you resist theseeee?




Surprisingly, there were only a few goats and rabbits. The goats were seemingly exhausted and in a hunger. I guess this was why my friend kept looking for grasses to feed them! Oh the poor goats~




I was like a kid, making countless rounds in the farm, quietly admiring the exceptional but well made decorations. I simply love each of them so much! Taking a stroll here was a heavenly pleasant experience to me!



I wasn't prepared to be here. My friend and I have been talking about the farm since months ago but it was a sudden and random decision to make it on this day. I was so regretful that my camera wasn't charged and my phone was admitted for servicing. Else, I could really spend more than an hour here.





Check out the round round sheep I got!




I didn't notice the hanging creatures in the first place. I was lucky enough to catch them up before my camera's battery got exhausted.


Other than the exquisite creatures, they have other interesting particulars too!






Not to forget the charming goddess that cheered up my day!



Yep yep, the most significant one was the gigantic windmill. See how happy my friend was!









Together with the colorful spinning bees!



And me!






Are you moved? Some of the finer details of the decorations are damaged. If you're tempted to get there, be fast!

Greetings!

Hi readers, it has been a while and I'm back here!

So, where have I been? Uhm yeah, I'd graduated from my university last year. Say congratulations to me but I'm sorry that I still do not have sufficient time allocated for neither writing a blog post for it nor processing the hundreds, maybe thousands of photos. What makes me feel it more is that my junior, few days back, told me she is going to graduate soon! Time flies!

You must be wondering what I'm doing right now. Yay I'm pursuing a full-time job just like everyone else. In fact, most of my coursemates are doing their postgraduate studies, which I admire and wanted to so badly. Life is unpredictable, huh? You don't always get what you want and walk in the path as what you have planned. The stories in these past months are long and tiring. I hate making choices the most yet sometimes I just have to. Anyway, the good news is I actually got the job that I wanted to.

Leisure-wise, don't get me wrong, I'm at the midst of achieving my jalan-jalan Malaysia. Compared to the life as a student, it's really hard to commit when you're at work. In the past few months, however, I managed to visit a few states. Blog posts are on their way as well!

I do not know where I will be but I do have a clear direction in me. I do not list my dreams but I do have working hard for them. Be it day or night, be it wrong or right; as much as my inner satisfaction shines, my breathe goes wild and I'm feeling alive.

I hope you're doing good too :-)

Love,
Ee Theng
