The Coconut...

In any Malay house's compound in the Kampong there would surely be a Coconut Palm. Coconut is a versatile plant; it fruits produce the coconut milk, the husk of the coconut fruit could be turn in many useful thing like brushes, broom or in some cases as filling for the mattresses. Its old trunk could be made as material for building bridges across narrow rivers, its leaves could be woven into containers for boiling rice for special occasion, it milks use in the cooking of curry and the making of traditional cakes. It also could be turn into eating oil that is better in nutrition than any vegetable oils in the market. Well it uses are indeed endless. The other day while walking on the beach in front of our condo at Pantai Puteri in Malacca I saw two coconuts tied together washed onto the shore. It is normal for coconut to be tied that way so as to make it easy to carry along. About is the image of that coconut that I saw that morning on the beach; a beautiful image indeed. Enjoy it folks. 

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...

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.
