Of Photography, the Rainfalls...

I have always love the rain, the sound and the smell of rain always made me happy. I believe it all because I was born and grew up on the east coast of Malaya where it often rains. During the Northeast Monsoon it rains cat and dog for three months from November to January every year. The temperature would go down to below twenty degrees Celsius and at time even the Coconut 0il would solidified. Folks would go to work using umbrella or raincoat. Now it January and it rain off and on here in Ampang in the state of Selangor on the west coast where we live now. I would sit at the Serambi/Patio of my house and enjoy the rainfall making it noise outside the house. As usual it nostalgic, it brought back memories of my youth living in Kuantan. Today as I sat there with my two cats, Kenet and Tam I watch and feel and smell the rains. I then took my camera and try to snap an image of the rainfalls. Above is that image that I took of the rainfalls. It not easy to get such image but I am happy that I got it. It does shows the rainfalls. I took that image using my latest Mirrorless camera the Canon EOS M5 using a 2000mm telephoto lens. Enjoy it folks as much as I had enjoyed snapping it.

Have a nice day.

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.
