Melor [Jasmine]...



I have always love and appreciate flowers. Melor or Jasmin is one special flowers that I had always seen been grown by the Malay in the Kampong. Today I do grow it in my Little Garden.  This flower is gorgeous. It not only is as white and good looking but with gentle fragrance too. Malay woman would use it to add its special aroma to the Coconut oil that in those days is use on hair to give it a healthy growth. It is also adorning on woman's hair to give it an elegant and radiant look against the blackness of the hair. By itself at time folks would otherwise just takes a glimpse of it and leave it alone without appreciating its beauty. But the camera allows us to enjoy that beauty in the comfort of our home, thus give it sort of an immortality that we could appreciate all the times. The Melor is an elegant flower in its own right. Enjoy it folks as much as I had enjoyed snapping this image. 

Have a nice day.

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...
