A Visit to Selangor Pewter Factory

After what Pn Looi taught us in Geography, we really have to see a kapal korek for ourselves. :)

This is how they mine tin ore to make our lovely pewter
Buckets?
Yes, pewter is precious metal

Retail Therapy in KL

After months of hard work in school, the Form 4s decided to head down south for some fun and relaxation.
Gua Tempurung was a blast. We got wet and muddy in the caves but it was worth the experience. Who would have thought that MGS girls (and teachers!) would shampoo their hair and bathe at the public pipes by the car park? This speaks a lot for our public amenities. The public toilets and bathrooms had trickling taps. Hardly sufficient to wash hands. Well, when in Rome do as the Romans do. Ooops, pardon me. When in the kampung, do as the kampung people do.
Sorry, no pictures at Gua Tempurung for this trip. It was a wet rainy day and so teachers advised us to keep all our electronic gadgets.

Let us show you something more interesting. Guess where we headed to in KL?
