The Little Magic of Penang....

Sometime in March last year I went to Penang. It was my first visit after a long time. Although it was just a two days visit I did enjoy it. I got a lift from my daughter and since they could not stay longer I just follow them back the next evening. It was just a night and a day trip that rekindle old memories when I would go to Penang from time to do my official works. While there I took this image of the Pigeon and the Trishaw that add color to my short visit there. Enjoy this image folks much as I had enjoyed snapping it at that moment in time. 

Have a nice day.

What a sense of loss if less of the world come to visit your blog! Each story told from the heart.
I was born a Penangite and went back as a tourist in May 2015 and all I saw was some jetties (for the artist pictures etched on plywood walls), less than mouth watering Chinese food from jetty roadside shop, mass cooked asam laksa at Ayer Itam and muddy coloured sea water. Somebody asked what is the government doing about restraining dirty water from flowing into the sea (in broad daylight!) as selling Penang's beautiful beaches is now a lost cause.
So, the saving grace of Penang Island for that moment was Penang Hill, the site where Indian Summer was filmed; now into Season 2.

Halwa Maskat...

Sudah lama tidak merasai Halwa Maskat. Sangat sukar untuk dapat dibeli dipasaran pada masa ini. Puas dicari tetapi yang dapat tidaklah sesedap yang dibuat sendiri. Ini kerana bukan senang hendak membuatnya. Pertama hanya boleh dibuat dengan mengunakan Periok atau Belanga Tembaga. Belanga tredisi ini masih dibuat di Terengganu dan boleh dapat dibeli di Pasar Payang di Kuala Terengganu. Mengodel dan mengacawnya tampa berhenti mengambil masa tidak kurang dari tiga jam. Oleh itu hanya dengan menguna Belanga Tembaga yang tebal ini sajalah dapat menjamin juadah tredisi ini betul betul menjadi. Seminggu sudah NekNyang siapkan bahan bahan nya dan pada pagi Sabtu 7.11.20 ini bersama dengan anak dan cucu telah dapat dibuatnya. Alhamdulillah. Memang sedap. Recipe nya adalah turunmenurun dari Ayah saya yang membuat juadah ini sebagai makanan istimewa dihidang dan dijual direstaurannya di Kuantan pada setiap bulan Ramadan. Nasib baiklah isteri saya Asmah pada masa itu berumor dalam leng

The Sunrise at Teluk Cempedak...

We were in Kuantan for a short holiday. As usual I always take the time to watch the sunrise at Teluk Cempedak; a beach that I call my own. I grew up playing on that sandy beach from the age of seven years old and I felt in love with the sea. So going to that beach is a ritual that I never missed to do whenever I am in Kuantan.  Early that Saturday morning of September 3, 2016 I woke early and with my nephew driving we left for the beach at around 6.30am. According to the data I had the sun would rise at Teluk Cempedak at 7.01am that morning. When we arrived at the beach there were already others there waiting for the sun to rise. I had brought my latest camera the Canon EOS M10 with me. It is a Mirrorless camera, the new new generation of the DSLR. It is much smaller than the DSLR and have interchangeable lens. As soon as I got there I walk along the beach and enjoy the freshness of the morning air. Yonder at the horizon I could see some light as the the sun makes it
