At around 9:30am on the second day, we visited Surau Langgar Rindu which was located in Kuala Terengganu. This surau was constructed with timber by an individual alone. Which was amazing!! (blog 3)

After visiting the surau and learning about its history, we then headed to the Akademi Nik Rashiddin (ANR) at Bachok, Kelantan around 12:45pm. It is an institution specialized for the teaching of history and details of traditional wood carving. (blog 4)

We left ANR around 3:30pm and was waiting for bus at the main road when we saw some horses across the road. From there, we spent sometime horse feeding until the bus arrived around 4pm and left to hotel.

En route to hotel we stopped by the Penarik beach and enjoyed the scenery along with some snacks. We ate deep fried squid and it was not as good as expected. We left from the beach at 7:45pm and some of us including myself came down from the Terengganu drawbridge food trucks to have dinner, while the other students went back to hotel. After dinner at drawbridge, we managed to go back to hotel at 9:30pm. (blog 5)

29th May 2022 (Day 3, final day)
We checked out from the hotel and headed to our first stop of the day at 8:30 am. Our first stop was at Seni Kayu Warisan which is a woodcarving factory. (blog 6) We reached there around 9:15am and we spent a bit over 1 hour in there before we headed to Persatuan Sejarah Malaysia Cawangan Terengganu for a small briefing of the association. We were served with lunch and had a small brief about this history association and their works (blog 7).

We spent over 1 and half hours at Rumah Haji Su and reached to Terrapuri heritage village at 3:45pm. This was our last stop for the trip and it was a different yet an amazing place to end the trip at. (blog 10)

We reached back at UPM at 2am of 30th May 2022. It was a fruitful trip which gave me a whole new perspective about timber. I feel like my previous perception towards timber did not give the justice it deserved.
