Glamour Square

I feel sorry that I have not updated with new photos for about a month. It was really busy with the factory work. Anyway, even the peak of workload has not phased out, I decided to spend some time every day on sharing my daily photos in Ipoh.

It has been quite some time I did not come to Bercham visiting my parents and brother. By taking this opportunity of leaving office earlier today, I drive to Bercham. It seems a new commercial building, Glamour Square comes to completion and start operation. However, only few units started business as of now.
