This is a cloudless afternoon. Everyone is trying to escape from exposing under the hot sun while the strong sunlight is forcing our eyes half shut. However, something is wrong on the street & annoying me; the street lights are on in the sunny afternoon. Are we having too much energy to spend? We are so grateful to live in this country which is full of natural resources. Nevertheless, many of us have used to consume resources without caring too much on wastage. I often find street lights are turned on during daytime and normally it lasts for few days before someone could fix it. Even if the improper operating timing of lights has not used extra energy (same working duration in a day), it simply causes inconvenience to the people at night because the street will be covered in darkness. I hope the authorities will improve their efficiency in energy saving not only to cut down expenses in dollar, but also to minimize the consumption of resources.
Ipoh, the capital city of Perak State, Malaysia, is the city that tin built. Located at the famous tin mining area, Kinta Valley, it used to be the world's largest tin mine since 19th century. Not only of its tin mine, but Ipoh also famous of its delicious food, beautiful mountain ranges, mysterious lime stone caves, attractive history & friendly citizen. Being the second in Malaysia that gain the status of city in year 1988 after Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh is one of the major cities in Malaysia with the population around 700,000. Began as a small village in 1870's, tin mine industry had brought in Chinese and Indian that boosted the town development since 1890's. The rapid growing town later upgraded to be the capital of Perak during the Japanese occupation at World War II. The rich tin resource had brought prosperity to many Ipoh miners that even make it once known as the City of Millionaires. Today, Ipoh has grown to cover a large area including the neighboring township such as Bercham, Tasek, Jelapang, Menglembu, Pengkalan, Simpang Pulai & Chemor. The city is still developing continuously while maintains its beauty of nature and harmony.
We are living in a busy world. We often have no time to appreciate the moments in our daily life. Take a break, stop & look around. There are many beautiful things, although it is simple & humble. I learn to gain a better life by appreciation & would like to share the images in my world.
