Bilut Valley

This is Raub

One of the nooks in Raub

Raub is located 120km away from my local landmark of Subang Skypark. Similarly, the town center bore resemblance of Bentong town, in terms of its architecture, traffic circulation planning and the pace of life. Almost all the building facing the main road in its town center were the 1920s pre-war building of colonial architecture, but there are a few like those in the photos which has been renovated to suit the current owner's needs. But, I would prefer if these pre-war buildings could be articulately maintain as it has become part of the town identity.

I have yet to explore Raub on foot, to seriously look into its history and feel the sense of place, as it always just an act of snap-and-go either on my way to Kuala Lipis or Benta.

Sg Lui

I actually pass by Sg Lui on my way to Kechau-Raub. Just a very small town with busy road.

construction site

Passing by to see the progress of the project site in Kechau-Raub, on my way back to KL from KL (Kuala Lumpur from Kuala Lipis that is). I love the effect of those mountain range as the background.

'killing' 3 route in a time

I managed to lump everything and make it into one journey and in just one day - the route to Raub, Benta and Lipis!! Damn exhausted!

Long journey to Raub

I remember the first time ever I was being told to go to Raub by my Principal, I was so nervous, I was like wth that place is??? It turn out to be a journey through a narrow, quiet road of 2hrs drive (actually it feels like forever!!) huwwaaaaa...
