bus cannot go there, so we take another bus that provided by the BOH which is smaller than
UiTM. The road is quite dangerous, but the driver bus is very professional because he
handles the bus very well and we are safely arrived at the BOH Sungai Palas Tea Centre.

activities are cancelled due to the rain.

steamboat that night. The situation was harmonized since everyone including lecturer are
happy with the dinner. The trip sure not vey perfect if we do not go to Pasar Malam
