The Giant Hypermarket of Bercham started operation since 8-March. When I was hanging around here 2 weeks ago, the preparation work was at its final stage. On the first few days of opening, the surrounding was seriously congested especially during weekend. Nevertheless, the heat is over after 2 weeks & there is no congestion in the hypermarket tonight. I spend some time walking around and find this Giant is quite cozy with the good brightness & proper arrangement. Perhaps this is a weekday night, it is relax to get in and out of the building while the traffic flow in car park is smooth. However, the surrounding roads are quite narrow & traffic system is not well designed. There must be many frustrated drivers during peak hours.
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.
