Beautiful thoughts from a young Doctor....

Folks, these are beautiful thoughts from our eldest granddaughter Afiqah Aminuddin who just graduated [July 7, 2015] as a Medical Doctor from the University of Manchester.

" Well its goodbye for now, Manchester. You have taught me so many things i never knew. I did not just earned a degree in Medicine, it was more than that.

I learnt to grown up, i learnt to take care of myself, i learnt to be away from my family and persevered with it, i learnt that this world is such a scary place to live in, i learnt to treasure friends who love me for who i am and move on from those who dont.I learnt that people do change from living abroad, having different lives from before they came here, but im glad i am still the same.

I learnt when to trust and not to trust, and I learnt to never expect of what u give. I learn that sometimes sensibility is a very rare character of a human being, I learned to forgive easier, i learnt to love and care for people, more wisely. Most of all, i learnt to appreciate all things i had in life before I came here.

So for now my time is done here, ive decided to come home and serve my country, to give back and to be closer to my loved ones. I know some of you might call me silly for not choosing the UK to work/ settle down, or warning me that i would regret this decision i made, just dont worry guys, i just have this feeling that going home would be better for me 😉.

So bye bye Manchester, thank you for all of those bittersweet memories, the experiences, which made me the person I am today. Alhamdulillah.

Okay! touchy feely stuff over, now wheres this SPA, KKM form i have to fill in?😅 "

Ikan Singgang....

Ikan Singgang is  one traditional Malay dish that is simple to do. Yet it is not only delicious but nutritious as well. Its one dish that you can find in the Malay world, perhaps call by other names, nevertheless it is still Ikan Singgang. It is the creation of our ancestors where fish have always been their main protein source; sort of the wisdom of the old. A wise creation indeed and because of it we still kept enjoying it  I have always love Ikan Singgang especially when Ikan Aya [Tuna fish] is use but it always taste as good even with other fish like Tenggiri or Kerisi. When making this simple dish one herb/spice that is a must is Lengkuas [Galangal] for without it the Singgang is not complete. The above image of Ikan Singgang is made with Ikan Tenggiri. Delicious as usual. Taken with steamy white rice and Budu [Anchovies sauce] or Sambal Belacan [Shrimp sauce] it is heaven already.  I posted that image on Facebook and below are two informative comments made th...

The Flags in Colonial Malaya...

In this posting I want to talk about Flags. I was born in 1939 and grew up during the Japanese occupation of Malaya from 1941 to 1945. So the first flag I saw was the Japanese flag, the white flag with the red circle in the centre. With the return of the British authority the Union Jack was again flown everywhere. With the defeat of the Japanese and the return of the British authority in Malaya the school was reopened. Except for the Japanese school all other schools was closed during the Japanese occupation. In January 1946 I start schooling. I remember my father took me to Sekolah Melayu Teruntun at Jalan Gambut in Kuantan. From the shop-house at Wall Street [now Jalan Mahkota] where we live we walk across the Padang, then follow the path across the grassland behind the Kuantan District Office to the school. The school is across the road with a few Pokok Kelapa Bali planted in front near the roadside. Kelapa Bali is what the Oil Palm is now known. It was at the school tha...
