what do you mean kampung place? far from city? Where was it? how bout buy it when you going to town? esp bedding...

i always go to Pet lovers center... near with me and i can get what i want from there.. there are few types of bedding....  maybe i can take a pic of it later on.. i may go there to buy my hamster food... she ate a lot, i tot she hides it, 

dwarjavascript:emoticonf? syrian? robo?

if you're looking for crittercare bedding, PetLovers is offering cheaper when you buy 3 10L packaging @ their store.
For wood bedding, better look for Aspen. Try to avoid Cedar or Pine wood
For paper bedding, try to look for natural without any coloring process. Or you can use tissue as bedding if you don't mind.

DIY popsicle sticks is nice, but bear in mind that hamster somehow will chew it. And they even will pee/poo inside if you DIY a house for them, so you need to monitor and clear the poo to a corner and hope that it can be potty train. Syrian easier to train so far, other will just like to poo everywhere. Pee can be trained as they tend to pee at one corner only.

i fail to train my syrian    poo everywhere.. glad they just pee at their home... last few days she peed on my head

When talk about bedding I do sometimes laugh...  So much confusion,
Firstly

Wood shavings - Aspen, Chipsi
Wood Pellets - Any type that will not clump
Paper Bedding - Crittercare, Living World Fresh & Comfy, Carefresh and Kaytee
Paper Pellet Bedding - Paper Pure Dream, Back to nature, Greenkat

then DIY Bedding.... You can DIY.. But the method you describe is too much work.
Try this... the result is the same

Why Chipsi?
Chipsi are softwood... Meaning it is a mixture of softwood that are spruce and fir. They are harmless.
My syrians and winterwhite hated aspen because it is too rough. I always needed to crush them (Too much work)
When on Aspen, one of my winterwhites managed to get her ears pierce.

****Do not use hay (Timothy, Alfafa or Meadow) as nesting / bedding... It will attract fleas and mites. Unless you prepared the hay
in the first place and only for a small quantity.*****

So I use Chipsi Classic Unscented or any other type bedding (depends on my fancy) on the bottom to catch the pee.
and then use as much Shredded Tissue/Toilet Paper on the top.
This will provide nesting material as well as burrowing.
Offer cardboard tubes for them their trim nails.
Bathing Sand... I only give to my Robos... Never my Winter whites or Syrians. Why? I like their natural scent. Robo are a bit oily.
When I am hardworking, i Will put them in a small fish aquarium and let them play 2 hrs, if not, I leave the cut out box with sand in it.
Throw after a week. They will play rolling, pee, poo, eat and sleep in it.
Rather than Petshop, if you can drive, why not approach pet breeders even the home breeders.
But be cautious, Some are immature and some are expert.
You can try there, in facebook, you can even manage to see giveaway hamster.
