Thinking of Kuantan...

Of late I have been thinking of going back to Kuantan my hometown but so far have not made up my mind as yet when I am going back there. Anyway with the monsoon starting early this year I thought that I may go back some time this month to have the feel of the Monsoon rains. It would really nice to enjoy and relived the time I grew up and enjoy the monsoon rains that happens at the end of every years. It often rain cat and dog for days without stopping and it kept the atmosphere cool when the coconut oil that folks use for cooking would solidified.

Some months back I went to Cherating, a tourist spot north of Kuantan where the beach is just like in Bali. There are many hotels and resorts there for folks to enjoy the sea. Above is a scene of a path at one of the resort beside the sea there.

Have a nice day.

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...

My little garden . ..

I love gardening and with the little space that I got in front of my patio I planted many greens including the one that flowers throughout the years. As they say flowers are the keepers of our Joys. Indeed they are. I am always happy when looking at these wonderful God's creation. Here are some of the flowers that blooms in my little garden as well those that grows in front of the house. Enjoy it folks much as I had enjoyed growing them. Have a nice day.
