Full Moon on January 31, 2018....

It was once in 151 years happening; the full moon and the eclipse happening at same time. The date January 31,2018 around 6.30pm to 11pm. So, I waited for the day and time to come and planned to take a few shots of that historic event, but the sky was cloudy all-night long. It was not possible to see the moon, so I decided to forget about it and went to sleep. I woke up early and found the sky was clear with a gorgeous skyline and the moon was there glowing in the gray morning, up to the north west of the skyline. I then took my camera, the Canon EOS M5 with the 200mm lens and went out to the front of the house and took a few shots of the beautiful moon that greet the morning of February 1, 2018.

It was nice to see the moon in the early morning. As usual the feeling of the morning was good; I could smell the fresh air and felt good on this February morning.

Here are some images that I took that morning. Enjoy it folks much as I had enjoyed snapping it.

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...

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.
