My love for the Wheels....

I have always love driving, it actually has became an extension of myself; a passion indeed. From my first car the Fiat 600 that I bought in 1967 and to the last car a Honda Accord that I bought after my retirement from the government service in 1990  I have always love driving.  That Honda Accord is now 14 years old and hardly use. The above image shows the speedometer of the car now only at 090399 kilometres. As we all know pretty well cars price in Malaysia depreciated at RM10 thousands a year. I bought it at RM140 thousands new in 2005. It a good car, the top range of the Honda's and it a pleasure to drive. The furthest I drive now is to the KLCC which is just 6 kilometres away from home. Last week on the way to Kuantan I could only drive as far as Bentong. The rest of the journey my daughter Lin took over the wheel with me sitting behind like a boss and enjoying the trip. Life is like that in the golden years. 

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.
