The Queen Scout...

I love scouting and have been in the scout movement all throughout my school days at Abdullah School Kuantan. It was through scouting that I learn about leadership and other skills which later on help me to be successful in my career in the Government Service. For my success in the Scout Movement I was awarded the highest award any scout could ever expected and that was the Queen Scout Certificate. It was call the Queen Scout when the country was still rule by the British colonial authority. Now it is known as Pengakap Raja. The above image shows me receiving the Queen Scout Certificate from the British High Commissioner at the town Padang in Kuala Lumpur just before the country gain its independence on August 31, 1957. 

Have a nice day.

You be very proud of your achievements. I never made it to that stage though I was in the scout movement in school. I loved the hiking and camping though.

Poh Syee Wha thanks for the visit and sharing your thoughts on the subject of this posting.

Yes it was trough scouting that I learn about the correct way of tying ropes, the skill on jungle tracking as well ow to survive in an expedition. In those days we are always into activities of sorts on weekend and most of the time we end camping at the beach in Kuantan. One of the greatest adventure was our cycling expedition from Kuantan to Kuala Lumpur in the fifties. We made it in four to five days one way and for the first time saw Kuala Lumpur with our own eyes. All in all it was the skills in leadership that made me what I am today.

Have a nice day.

Ramnah Ahmad, thanks for the visit and sharing your thoughts on the subject of this posting. Thanks too on the good words.

Well I always tried hard to be the best in whatever I do. I tried to acquire as much knowledge as possible thus I read. Till today I read at least two books a month. I knew at an earlier age that without knowledge one would not go far in life thus when we have kids we give the best education to all of them.

At this age I felt that the best way to give is to share my thoughts thus I Blog and Facebooking; with a hope that whatever I share it would in a way benefit others to improve their quality of life.

Have a nice day and take care.

Ikan Singgang....

Ikan Singgang is  one traditional Malay dish that is simple to do. Yet it is not only delicious but nutritious as well. Its one dish that you can find in the Malay world, perhaps call by other names, nevertheless it is still Ikan Singgang. It is the creation of our ancestors where fish have always been their main protein source; sort of the wisdom of the old. A wise creation indeed and because of it we still kept enjoying it  I have always love Ikan Singgang especially when Ikan Aya [Tuna fish] is use but it always taste as good even with other fish like Tenggiri or Kerisi. When making this simple dish one herb/spice that is a must is Lengkuas [Galangal] for without it the Singgang is not complete. The above image of Ikan Singgang is made with Ikan Tenggiri. Delicious as usual. Taken with steamy white rice and Budu [Anchovies sauce] or Sambal Belacan [Shrimp sauce] it is heaven already.  I posted that image on Facebook and below are two informative comments made th...

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.
