My Love Allah...I just arrived at the place have a community of Malay at Cambodia after two hours travel from Phnom Pehn city to Kampung Pray Bis. The small mosque appear when we come to nearest inside the site. After introduction ourself,we'll started to measure the every single item at the site where need to built a new school for children. I saw very ruin school beside the mosque. The school mostly likes vernacular Malay house can be find in Malaysia. The construction mostly from timber started at the ridge until end of column. The roof was built from Siamese tiles. Simple interior classroom with the bench chair and table for seated by 3 to 5 person at the same time. The green board is from the original colour of timber. No more window and door,natural ventilation flow all over the edges. I'm felt so sad in the deep of my heart if i'm in that situation mybe i'm not the same person likes today.

No electrical and no proper water supply,the children still went to school for learned. I'm felt so lucky because borned in Malaysia, everything in our fingertive. Cambodia still needs to developed more infrastructure and facilities. The poor people still will be seen everywhere. In my mind,it's looked likes Malaysia maybe in era 1960-1950an. More view photography i catched along the journey in 35 degree Celcious. The weather is too hot,drying and dusty along the road and the surrounding felt liked in the Sahara (my assumption mybe more then that). I saw the similarly likes types of palm in the wildlife at Cambodia with a tall outgrowth rod. The palms made the originality of natural landscape at Kampung Phum Toal which is the second place i have been visited. The place around 45 minutes from the first place. The coloured of people clothes celebrated our entourage with the brownies sanded land as the background.

The second places really in suffering and surviving,no more proper accomodation but there have two beautiful mosques were donated by Malaysian. The sun was stand in the my head,but i still felt the spirit of Malay people who life in difficulity but have ethic to invited the visitor come their place in open hands. After the speech by the Ustaz Hassan and chatting with local people,we going back to hotel the memory can't be found before.

At the night,Ustaz Hassan invited for dinner at his house 'Persatuan Kebajikan Islam Kemboja' or Islamic Cambodia Welfare Society. We're served with food named 'Lembu naik Gunung' or Cow climbing mountain. The food mostly likes steamboat,we need to cooked at boiled soup and roasted beef at dome of cooking pot. Beautiful skilled for enjoying the food at the firstime i have been tried. The beef can be eaten with mustard and kangkong salad after put together in the pot. Mybe one day i will try and error to cook the recipes and we're thankful to Ustaz Hasan who invited for the dinner.
