Life in the City....

This month being Ramadan and that the Eid Fitri fall on the July 17 Government officers and Pensioners get paid on July 8th. This month we get an extra of RM250, half of the special payment that the government officers get this month. I have no complain since my pension is good. Both my spouse and I are pensioner thus both of us get a monthly pension. With no debt and the kids are on their own the pension are all ours to spend. Since getting the payment early this month I decided to pay all my Utilities bills, Astro, Unifi and other monthly bills which amount to almost one thousand ringgit early as well. This will avoid me from using the money on other things and would burst my monthly budget. Without that one thousand ringgit the house would not run. That mean every months one thousand ringgit is gone before paying for the food and other needs like new clothing and travel.  I am lucky that I have no debt and that my car and house are fully paid. That folks is the cost of living in the city. 

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.
