Snippet from Fabebook # 4...

1- This morning Wednesday February 27 l drove the Honda Accord to KLCC and back using the elevated highway Ahlek from my house straight to the parking lot of the Suria Mall. That is the furthest I could drive now. It just takes me five minutes one way paying a toll of RM2.50 one way. To and fro cost me just the toll RM5.00. The parking at KLCC is expensive. So just to lepak there may cost me up to RM30.00 a time. It would help if the Ahlek toll is reduced or closed totally. Apa macam !

2- Past 4pm. It drizzling and it hot and humid. Just like sitting on a beach. I like it. It remind me of my beach on the eastcoast of Malaya. My plan is to be in Kuantan in a fortnight time, my ritual of Balik Kampong every three months or so. It would ne lovely to be on the beach watching the sunrise which I did every time I am in Kuantan. At this age returning to my hometown is always in my mind. Trying to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of a small town where I grew up. Nostalgic indeed.

3- It a beautiful Friday morning, the first day of March 2019. As usual on Friday I am just taking the morning easy at the Serambi, for today Muslim goes to the mosque for the Friday Prayer. My kids or the kid's driver would pick me at past 1pm to go to one of the nearby mosque for that prayer. Would be back only after 2pm thus half of the day is gone. If I go out it would be in the afternoon. Well folks it the weekend again so I would just take it easy and enjoy the days. Have fun folks.

4- A touch of Sarawak. I have a collection of the Sarawak pottery which I brought back from my tour of duty of the state in the mid eighties.

5- It past 6pm on a Friday afternoon. The weather is gloomy but less humid. It does not look it going to rain. Anyway it a pleasant day to while the time at the Serambi. After coming back from the Friday prayer and had lunch of home cooked Nasi Lemak I sat with a cup of Coffee and continue reading the new book that I got at Kinokuniya a few days ago. An interesting book indeed. Off and on l have been sitting here for more than three hours reading as well whiling the time away sitting on the comfortable Ikea lazy chair. It an old chair that have been with me for more than fifteen years. Despite the wear and tear it still as comfortable as when l first use it. Now it my favourite chair in the house. It served me well indeed. So folks life is like that!




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.
