Meerkat On the LookOUT

What a meaningful saturday!

Looking at Tengku Mahkota's photo, can you guess where did we go today? hahah...any guess?

We went to Royal Selangor Visitor Center. The first reason we got there was to see what we can get from the warehouse sales. Yes, the warehouse sales was good. We managed to get some gifts for friends and family. Even though the map was not published on the newspaper, we called up twice to ask for direction and we got there without any doubts. The warehouse management was good and they have sufficient helpers. The crowd was just nice. It could due to we only arrived after the crowd in the morning. We got there in the afternoon.

After that, we paid for discount price to make a pewter bowl. Initially, i wasn't so keen. With Tengku Mahkota's encouragement, we went for it. We were directed to the Royal Selangor's School of Hard-Knocks. It was pretty fun but it took me a while to knock a piece of pewter to the shape of a bowl. Good experience. No regrets. More photos will be uploaded after I get it from Tengku Mahkota's phone.

Finally, here you go... all the photos that Tengku Mahkota took while I knocked-knocked....

From a piece of FLAT pewter... I unwrapped from the paper.
Knock... Knock... Knock...


At last...i've got my bowl. And I'm given a certificate from School of Hard Knocks + Apron!!!
During our visit, I went to try to knock. Oh dear, It was so difficult to knock a straight line. Apparently, it takes a year of training to make straight lines. Hence, don't expect that to happen on me. muahhaha... And....In a factory of 500 workers, only 4 workers are able to make straight line.
