The Government Rest HouseBatu Gajah, Perak
THE WALLFLOWERA wallflower blends in with its surrounding, invisible to most. Observing the changes that take place around it but never takes part. Once deciphered,
however, the wallflower has more than meets the eye.
The Government Rest House.
See what I see. Feel what I feel
THE SURROUNDING
My view of the Kinta Golf Course assures me of life
The serenity of Jalan Changkat complementsthe vast greenery of the golf course
My only neighbor ,The Kinta Golf Club
My only neighbor ,The Kinta Golf Club
The rest of them are merely hollow, lifeless structures
The pathway from Jalan Changkatleading up to my entrance
Whats on the outside does notdefine whats on the inside.
But it counts.
THE SKIN
My front facade facing Jalan Changkat
My rear walls that face the carpark
One of those friends whom stick with you till the end, that is The Extension
To welcome guests with open arms,The Porch
Protect me from the elements.Keep me safe from harm.
THE ROOF
The different layers of the roofensure that I am protected, always
Give me strength to stand on my own feet.
THE SUPPORT
The timber and concrete columnsgive stability and support
The eyes are the windows to the soul.
THE EYES
Twelve different windowswith a common function
Eighteen different doorseach one framing the spaces
To understand me,understand my spaces.

Metaphorically, The Government Rest House is much like a wallflower and this photobook documents a day in its life. This photobook is also a journal to document all the measured
drawing activities that took place in the rest house during our stay in Batu Gajah.
