Taman-taman, pusat peranginan, pemandangan matahari terbit dan sebagainya

Salam pagi Ahad 17 Ramadhan, hari Nuzul Quran. Lagi kategori mengumpulkan artikel-artikel lama daripada blogspot berbahasa Inggeris BERPETUALANG KE ACEH. Sekadar mengingatkan sebelum ini sudah dipersembahkan 3 jenis kategori iaitu :-

1. Pemandangan pekan, bandar dan bandar raya yang pernah dijadikan artikel

2. Tasik, pantai, tepian air dan pulau

3. Bukit, gunung, gua, air terjun dan tarikan luar bandar


Selepas ini masih ada 4 atau 5 lagi kategori mahu dikemukakan. Insyaallah ini akan dibuat mengikut giliran apabila sampai masa yang terasa sesuai...

OK. Artikel kali ini sebenarnya mengumpulkan dua buag kategori berlainan - "Taman-taman, Pusat Peranginan dan Sebagainya" dengan "Pemandangan Matahari Terbit dan Terbenam". Ini kerana buat masa ini setiap kategori tersebut tidak mengandungi begitu banyak artikel. Tapi siapa tahu akan lebih banyak terkumpul pada masa akan datang?

Salam pagi Jumaat 1 Mei 2020 bersamaan 8 Ramadhan tahun 1441 Hijriah. Merujuk pada artikel Tasik, pantai, tepian air dan pulau yang dipersembahkan 10 hari. Pada pengenalan artikel itu ada disebut bahawa ia dipersembahkan setelah berjaya menyiapkan satu bab penuh penulisan tesis untuk ISTAC (Institut Antarabangsa Pemikiran dan Tamadun Islam), kejayaan yang sangat bermakna bagi saya. Ini kerana ia berlaku setelah lebih setahun tesis tiada kemajuan disebabkan hilang rentak penulisan dan sekatan pemikiran (mental block). 

Fikir saya selepas itu akan lancar dapat menyiapkan satu lagi bab insyaallah dalam tempoh seminggu lebih juga. Selepas itu bolehlah dipersembahkan artikel seterusnya mengumpulkan sejumlah artikel daripada blogspot berbahasa Inggeris BERPETUALANG KE ACEH. Namun saya menghadapai masalah gangguan rentak penulisan lagi. Oleh itu biar dilepaskan dahulu artikel ini.

Artikel dikhaskan untuk mengumpulkan apa yang telah ditulis tentang bukit bukau, gunung ganang, gua, air terjun malah kolam air panas pun ada. Biar diingatkan ya, ini untuk tempat seperti itu yang pernah saya sampai lalu ada ditulis tentangnya melalui artikel di blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH. Kalau setakat sebut sahaja atau pernah diceritakan sedikit tetapi tiada gambar-gambar yang boleh dijadikan artikel maka tak masuk dalam kumpulan. Kalau ada tentu telah dibuat artikel tentang saya pernah mendaki Gunung Kinabalu di Sabah iaitu gunung tertinggi di Asia Tenggara tahun 1997 bersama rombongan Ketua Menteri Sabah lalu boleh diletakkan pautannya di sini.

Tasik, pantai, tepian air dan pulau

Merujuk pada artikel Pemandangan pekan, bandar dan bandar raya yang pernah dijadikan artikel yang dibuat 11 hari lalu sampai masanya untuk memperkenalkan satu lagi kategori kompilasi artikel. Ia disediakan pagi ini setelah mencapai satu kejayaan kecil tetapi sangat bermakna sebagai seorang pelajar pasca-siswazah berumur. Sukacita dimaklumkan saya telah berjaya menyiapkan satu bab penuh penulisan tesis untuk ISTAC (Institut Antarabangsa Pemikiran dan Tamadun Islam). Ini berlaku setelah lebih setahun tiada kemajuan disebabkan hilang rentak dan sekatan pemikiran (mental block).

Kategori ini dikhaskan untuk tasik-tasik, pantai, tepian air (waterfronts) dan pulau-pulau yang pernah saya sampai atau sekurang-kurangnya lalu berdekatan. Pada mulanya saya menghadapi masalah dalam mengatur di manakah suatu artikel itu harus diletakkan menurut kategori-kategori kecil (sub-categories) yang sesuai. Setelah beberapa lama menggagahkan diri inilah yang dirasakan terbaik buat pembaca.

Sekadar mengingatkan. Artikel-artikel ini diambil daripada blogspot berbahasa Inggeris BERPETUALANG KE ACEH. Namun harus tidak begitu bermasalah bagi mereka yang kurang faham bahasa tersebut kerana ada banyak gambar. Untuk makluman ini adalah artikel ke-1,919 di blogspot ini. Bolehlah mengisi masa dalam tempoh PKP atau Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan.
