1. Went for a khenduri in a place called Kg. Astaka in Batu Kurau in Negeri Perak.

2. We stayed for the night in a home-stay owned by the brother of a famous pendakwah (islamic preacher) Dato' Ustaz Kazim Elias. 

3. It is a three-room block and we stayed in Room No. 2. There was nobody else staying during that night.

4. The room is spacious 12'x16' with attached bathroom just like a motel with an individual car porch. The furnishing is sufficient including towels, sejadah and tea making set.

5. The rate is rm80/night.

6. We went to Bandar Taiping in the night. Along the way we saw a few army camps and noticed the Taiping Jail at the junction then Perak Mesueum across the road.

7. In the town, we parked next to the Pejabat Daerah dan Tanah after going around a few time to get familiar with the town.

8. We walked from here along the front and turn into the corner to notice the road had been closed. It was a bazaar where people selling sundries and others offer rental service of the roller-blade and play equipments. 

9. The bazaar is called Cross Street Bazar following the name of the original road name which is now called Jalan Alang Ahmad if not mistaken.
