In those days it was normal for the nurses at the local
hospital to organized function such as Dance at their hostel and invite others
to attend it. Most of us who just start working at that times knows the nurses
who works at the Kuantan Hospital. So when the time come for that annual dance
we would be invited. We were in our early twenties and still bachelors so
it was fun to go for such dance and enjoy ourselves among friends there.
Above are some scenes of the dance.
Have a nice day.

Pak Idrus, that woman in the foreground in the second photo is, I think, wearing a baju kebaya! You don't see that any more these days!

Howard, thanks for the visit and sharing your thoughts on the subject of this posting.
Yes that is the Kebaya. It is still in fashion today. It has gone into as a fashion dressing with some variation. Some woman would even wear it with jeans and still looks as elegant as those worn in those days with the Sarong. I believe it going to stay on forever.
Have a nice day.

Jehan Bakar, Thanks for the visit and sharing your thoughts on the subject of this posting.
Well at that time there were many functions like this. Most of the Government Departments and Youth Organizations would organized their Dinner and Dance regularly where we we all get to meet friends and enjoy ourselves.
Agreed with your dad's view but than at that time we live only in the physical world with limited communication. Today with the Internet our specie live in two worlds; the Virtual and the Physical world thus we communicate and interact differently. Whatever it is the personal interaction is still the best way of knowing each other. Let use both the means to enriched our lives as we move forward in the ever changing worlds of ours.
Have a nice day.
