Yeahโ€ผ๏ธ From the recent travel ๐ŸšŒ๐Ÿš to Terengganu ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ, SiennyLovesDrawing ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป had an exclusive privilege to meet ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป & have a short chat ๐Ÿ—ฃ๐Ÿ‘ค with the founder of Terrapuri Heritage Village, Mr Alex Lee ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผ He is a Chinese Peranakan, born & grown up in Marang, Terengganu ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ

She ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป is gonna sharing ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ“โœ๐Ÿป here about all she ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป has learnt from her chat ๐Ÿ—ฃ๐Ÿ‘ค with Mr Alex ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผabout the ups โฌ†๏ธ & downs โฌ‡๏ธ in pursuing his passion โค๏ธ towards the conservation & restoration of Terengganu traditional Malay architecture ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜ He ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผ has proudly told that he loves ๐Ÿ’— each old houses ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜ that he has collected thus far & each 1๏ธโƒฃ is unique to him with a story behind respectively ๐Ÿ˜€

Questionโ“: Can you spot SiennyLovesDrawing ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป in below photos ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ“ธ album? She ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป was having a nice ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป pre-dinner chat ๐Ÿ—ฃ๐Ÿ‘คwith Mr Alex @ Sesayap Courtyard, Terrapuri Heritage Village during her recent stay

Ha…Ha…She ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป actually thought that Mr Alex ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผwas an architect by profession. Mr Alex has confirmed that he is a tourism industry player with own tourism businesses in guest house ๐Ÿก , boutique hotel, dining ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿด, cafe โ˜•๏ธ, tours, souvenirs (batik) ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ etc.

Guess whatโ“โ‰๏ธ

Mr Alex ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผ1๏ธโƒฃst started to learn about guest house ๐Ÿก renting (i.e. used his grandpa ๐Ÿ‘ด๐Ÿป ‘s 2๏ธโƒฃ shoplots ๐Ÿข๐Ÿข) at his young age ๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿป with initial intention to save for his education fund ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐ŸŽ“He used to drawing โœ๐Ÿป๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ–Œown brochure to selling the rooms at bus stations ๐ŸšŒ๐ŸšŒ & received great responses from many backpackers ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ฌback then. He ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผalso learnt how to package his room with simple breakfast โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿฅช, yes โœ…, he can cookโ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Ended up he ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผ continues his tourism business till now without further study โŒ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐ŸŽ“despite in years between 2006 to 2008 with a cross road ๐Ÿ”€ for his choice, whether IT vs heritage, nature & culture. Obviously he ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผhas chosen the later. Ha…Ha…He has shared in his IG (refer above ๐Ÿ“ธ) recently that he wants to be a Youtuber (IT) now (2019) being inspired by his youngest son ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ, a famous gaming Youtuber

Also she ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป is gonna sharing ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ“ about her wonderful overnight ๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ’ค๐Ÿ›Œ in Kubang Jela house ๐Ÿก in this village. Hmm…A night ๐ŸŒŒ๐ŸŒƒ stay just too short, personally she ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป recommends for a 3๏ธโƒฃD2๏ธโƒฃN to appreciating the layout of an inspired 17th century Terengganu Palace ๐Ÿ‘‘ as an great ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป output of restoration the Terengganu Malay old houses ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜ of at least ๐Ÿ’ฏ years & above, as well as its peaceful village surrounding ๐Ÿž

๐Ÿ’ฏ years meaning easily at least with 4๏ธโƒฃ generations before Mr Alex๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผbought the old houses ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜ Some of the houses ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜ were once belong to the royal families ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘‘ Woowโ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ฒ He ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผhas shared that 30 years ago, a full Terengganu old house ๐Ÿ  each cost of RM30K to 40K approximately ๐Ÿ˜Š

How about nowโ“โ‰๏ธ

He ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผ estimates RM300K & above each old house ๐Ÿ  at current. He ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผ has no โŒ intention to resell any of his Terengganu Malay old houses ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜ collected, though he ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผ was being offered with great ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป prices ๐Ÿ’ฑ๐Ÿ’ฐcouple of times in the past ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

.

Hmm…Does Mr Alex ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผregretโ“โ‰๏ธ

Personally SiennyLovesDrawing ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปcan confidently said “No โŒ” from her observation, Mr Alex’s achievements from Terrapuri Heritage Village & chat with him๐Ÿ—ฃ๐Ÿ‘ค about his journey

Whyโ“โ‰๏ธ

You will be impressed as Mr Alex ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผis very knowledgeable & passionate โค๏ธ in what he is doing for Terengganu old houses restoration & conservation ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜

.

Over the years, he ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผhopes to continue & enhancing his project as a tourism products, currently he ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผis running this Terrapuri Heritage Village as a boutique hotel resort space ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜ Owned a museum cafe dining ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿด (with advanced booking ๐Ÿ“žโ˜Ž๏ธ๐Ÿ“ฑfor event etc.) & an upcoming Terramalai, a collection of traditional Malay houses ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜ from all over the states in Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ & will be based in Batu Rakit, Kuala Nerus district of Terengganu ๐Ÿ˜

After bought each houses ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜, all will be dismantled & then rebuilt. All Terengganu old houses ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜ were built without โŒ a single nail ๐Ÿ”จ, it’s using the traditional “tebuk pasak” aka peg & joint technique with the help from the professional skillful Malay carpenters aka “tukang rumah” in Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ ‘s national language ๐Ÿ˜€

He ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผemphasised few times in his sharing “We have to always go back to our own root. Culture is so beautiful & unique not to be shared to next generations ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿป๐Ÿง’๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿป๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿป“

He ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผhas shared that he was struggled ๐Ÿ˜ขโ˜น๏ธ๐Ÿ˜”to communicate, convince the house owners ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ฌ to sell ๐Ÿ’ฑ๐Ÿ’ฐtheir houses ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜ to him when he 1๏ธโƒฃst started his heritage collection. Reason being he is a Chinese Peranakan, not a Muslim โŒโ˜ช๏ธ He also proudly shared that he speaks fluent Terengganu Malay & this has helped a lot ๐Ÿ˜Š

Once he ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผhas indentified โœ… the old house ๐Ÿ  that he is interested, he will slowly get to know the local house owner 1๏ธโƒฃst. He is very persevere in his collection passion, he patiently kept visiting, communicating ๐Ÿ—ฃ๐Ÿ‘ค Then, after knowing him better & appreciate his passion โค๏ธtowards the Terengganu Malay old houses ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜, the house owner will sell their old house to him ๐Ÿ’ฑ๐Ÿ’ฐ eventually

Guess whatโ“โ‰๏ธ

There was an old house ๐Ÿ  that actually took him 15 years โœ…๐Ÿก after many many communications with the owner ๐Ÿ—ฃ๐Ÿ‘ค Wowโ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ฒ It’s named as Rumah Pulau Bahagia in Terrapuri Heritage Village & yet to be ready as guest villa currently โ˜บ๏ธ

Mr Alex ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผhas actually collected the old houses ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜ for 18 years (all being dismantled & stored at the backyard of his parents ๐Ÿ‘ต๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘ด๐Ÿปhouse, on top of stones & covered with zinc to protect the chengal wood) before he bought this 4 ha land in 2005 which surrounding with islands ๐Ÿ๐ŸŒด & Setiu mangroves wetlands (Safe from tsunami ๐ŸŒŠ & chance to view fireflies ๐Ÿ’ซโœจat night) in Kg. Mangkuk

He ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผwas discouraged ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿปby family members & friends ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ฌ at the beginning that he shoud invest in other investment & not โŒ in restoration project. Also not in Terengganu as the location ๐Ÿ“that he has chosen โœ…๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Restoration requires for a long time frame & huge sum of money ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ต to maintain. He actually ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผsold off his luxury cars ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿš™ & properties before just to continue this restoration project. No any โŒ bank loan/ Government grant has obtained becasue this is a non profit/ business investment ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜

His passion โค๏ธ in Terengganu old houses ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜restoration that motivates him to continue his journey till now, future & never end ๐Ÿ˜

Questionโ“: Do you spot a smiling ๐Ÿ˜ƒ craving in below photo๐Ÿ“ธโ“โ‰๏ธ

Terengganu Traditional Malay Old Houses ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜

From her chat ๐Ÿ—ฃ๐Ÿ‘ค with Mr Alex, she ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป has learnt that the balance โš–๏ธ is important in Malay belief, hence the height & wide of each house ๐Ÿก is required to have good ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป ukiran rumah aka house ๐Ÿ  measurement as it also meant for good ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป feng sui. To Mr Alex ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผ, life is a balance too, not just about making money ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ต

The houses ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜ built with high legs to protect from flood & with aims to scard away the animals ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ…

The stairs (i.e. “tangga” in Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ ‘s national language) to each Malay house ๐Ÿ  must with an odd numbers eg. 3๏ธโƒฃ, 5๏ธโƒฃ, 7๏ธโƒฃ etc.

.

She ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป has learnt that there is meaning for Terengganu house ๐Ÿ  gate. She was told if you have bad intention (e.g. to rob the house owner) when you step ๐Ÿ‘ฃ into the house ๐Ÿ  , you may end up unable to see the house gate to exit then๐Ÿšช

Generally, the Terengganu Malay old houses ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜ are with beautiful ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ wall craving, Islamic โ˜ช๏ธ influences, more to flora designs, some stupa are more towards Buddhism โ›ฉ No โŒ devil craving motives

There are 29 houses ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜ in this Terrapuri Heritage Village since 2012 i.e. 20 houses ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜ have been restored as guest villas & the remaining 9 houses serve as the resort reception, courtyard, spa, meeting room, library etc. โ˜บ๏ธ

Actually he ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผ has bought ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ต๐Ÿ’ฏ over houses ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜, only 29 units in this village while the rest serves as spare parts as most houses ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜ bought are only 70% able to be used due to extensively damaged & had rotting wood

Yes โœ…, not to be missed yaโ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฉ

She ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป loves ๐Ÿ’— all the places๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ“as you may observe all the beautiful ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ captures ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ“ธ shared in this blogging ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ“, sure you wanna visit & enjoy snapping beautiful ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ photos ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ“ธ for your social postings too โœŒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜‰

Hmm…How to travel to Bintan Island๐ŸŒด๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ, Indonesia ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉโ“โ‰๏ธ

You may ride on either,

  • The Roll-On Roll Off (RORO) train ship ๐Ÿšข

This option with cheaper fare of approximately IDR 20K & 2๏ธโƒฃ hours journey ๐Ÿšข

You will get a chance to meet & mingle with the locals ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ฌ during the RORO ride ๐Ÿšข

SiennyLovesDrawing ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป & friends ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ซ have opted for this & you may enjoy her vlog ๐Ÿ“น๐ŸŽฅ ~ visual experience being captured from her 1๏ธโƒฃst RORO ride ๐Ÿšข

  • The Private Speedboat ๐Ÿšค

This option slightly more expensive if you wish to save travel time as it takes just 15mins ride & provide privacy to you. It departs from jetty โš“๏ธ named Telaga Punggur, Batam Island ๐ŸŒด๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ to Tanjung Uban, Bintan Island ๐ŸŒด๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ

So, where are the 5๏ธโƒฃ Must-Visit๐Ÿ‘€โ“โ‰๏ธ

1๏ธโƒฃย Bintan Sand Dunes Desert ๐Ÿช ๐ŸŒต๐Ÿซ

It’s known as Gurun Pasir Busungย ๐Ÿช๐ŸŒต๐Ÿซin Indonesian language ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ

Guess whatโ“โ‰๏ธ

It’s naturally formed from its mining site originally. It was abandoned & then being a well known desert destination in this island ๐ŸŒด๐Ÿ–๐ŸŒด for both local & foreign tourists ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ซ

You will definitely love its clean white sandy landscapes ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฉ

Definitely a favourite spot๐Ÿ“for many photographers ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ“ธ to capture a stunning view of this naturally formed landscape with blue blue sky during sunny โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž weather especially

2๏ธโƒฃย Bintan Blue Oasis ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ง

It’s known as Telaga Biruย in Indonesian language๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ

Yeahโ€ผ๏ธ In every desert sure there is an oasis ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’งhere too, amazing ๐Ÿ˜‰โ€ผ๏ธ Yes โœ…, this oasis ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ง just within the same site of the sand dunes ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

She ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป loves โค๏ธ the crystal tiffany blue lake ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ง which actually developed from a large crater in this abandoned mining site & was graduallyย filledย withย rain water โ˜”๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ง There is a small entrance fee ๐ŸŽŸ of IDR ๐Ÿ”ŸK per pax ๐Ÿ˜€

Hmm…SiennyLovesDrawing ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป & friends ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ฌ have opted for a private tour with transport ๐ŸšŒ๐Ÿš to reachย this beautiful sand dunes ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ“

Do enjoy a meal ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿด1๏ธโƒฃst before visiting it as not much dining places available nearby this site ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿคค

Address๐Ÿ“: Jl. Raya Busung, Busung, Seri Kuala Lobam, Kabupaten Bintan, Kepulauan Riau 29152, Indonesia

Opening hours๐Ÿ•–: 7๏ธโƒฃam to 6๏ธโƒฃpm daily

3๏ธโƒฃย Pemancingan ๐ŸŽฃ Poyotomo (in Indonesian language ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ)

Once stepped ๐Ÿ‘ฃ in, you will be amazed ๐Ÿคฉ with its beautiful ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ scenery & a background of Mt Bintan โ›ฐ

Sharing here a fun fact๐Ÿ“Œ, this Mt Bintan โ›ฐ just about 400m, but why known as Mt. Bintan & not Bintan Hillโ“โ‰๏ธ

Reason being it’s on an island ๐ŸŒด๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ, so it forms a highest point โฌ†๏ธ & hence Mt Bintan instead โ›ฐ

Fishing ๐ŸŽฃ lovers โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’— must visitโ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜

Not to worry if you forgot your fishing ๐ŸŽฃ tools as you can rent with a small fee ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ต & enjoy your fishing pleasure ๐ŸŽฃ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ˜ƒ

You can opt for a meal ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿดdining & rent a small cottage ๐Ÿก built along the fishing lake ๐ŸŽฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿž (IDR 30k each) during your visit here to chill, relaxing rest ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ˜‰ while enjoying the peaceful environment ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฉ

Also a camping tent ๐Ÿ•โ›บ๏ธ overnight here ๐ŸŒƒ๐ŸŒŒ

The resort ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ ๐Ÿก also made some beautiful ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ set ups e.g. swings, hammocks etc. for its guests ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ซ to relaxing & rest ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ˜‰

You may observe ๐Ÿ‘€ the famous scene in Bintan Island ๐ŸŒด๐Ÿ–๐Ÿwith the rows of “kelongs” in Indonesia language ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ i.e. the fish ๐ŸŽฃ ๐ŸŸ traps/ houses on boats ๐Ÿšฃ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšฃ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ in the middle of the sea ๐ŸŒŠ

The fishermen actually hang out their nets to catch small fishes ๐ŸŸ๐ŸŸ with it
