The Little Magic of Penang....

Sometime in March last year I went to Penang. It was my first visit after a long time. Although it was just a two days visit I did enjoy it. I got a lift from my daughter and since they could not stay longer I just follow them back the next evening. It was just a night and a day trip that rekindle old memories when I would go to Penang from time to do my official works. While there I took this image of the Pigeon and the Trishaw that add color to my short visit there. Enjoy this image folks much as I had enjoyed snapping it at that moment in time. 

Have a nice day.

What a sense of loss if less of the world come to visit your blog! Each story told from the heart.
I was born a Penangite and went back as a tourist in May 2015 and all I saw was some jetties (for the artist pictures etched on plywood walls), less than mouth watering Chinese food from jetty roadside shop, mass cooked asam laksa at Ayer Itam and muddy coloured sea water. Somebody asked what is the government doing about restraining dirty water from flowing into the sea (in broad daylight!) as selling Penang's beautiful beaches is now a lost cause.
So, the saving grace of Penang Island for that moment was Penang Hill, the site where Indian Summer was filmed; now into Season 2.

The Flags in Colonial Malaya...

In this posting I want to talk about Flags. I was born in 1939 and grew up during the Japanese occupation of Malaya from 1941 to 1945. 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.
