Last years Honda Malaysia recall all Honda Accord to replaced the faulty Airbags. I got a letter from Honda Malaysia to make arrangement to get the faulty Airbags replaced. After making the arrangement to get it done within weeks of getting the letter, I got both the Airbags for the front seat replaced at one of the Honda Workshop in Ulu Kelang. Then two weeks ago Honda Malaysia send me a registered letter saying they wanted to replaced the Airbag on the driver side of my Honda Accord again. Thus for my car this is the second time the Airbag of the driver side need be replaced. And last Saturday August 24, 2019 instead of asking the car to be taken for replacement of the faulty Airbag to the Workshop Honda Malaysia say that  their service people would come over to the house instead to replaced the faulty Airbag.. On the afternoon of that Saturday their people came over to the house and got it replaced. It was done is just five minu...

I was born in Kuantan in the state of Pahang on August 17, 1939, a period during the colonial era. Thus this Saturday August 17, 2019  I am 80 years old. The kids had arranged a Birthday Party at our eldest daughter's house nearby. So we all gather there during lunch time; surrounded with the loved one who are around that day and had sort of a family celebration with Birthday cake and the special Nasi Kunyit [Yellow Glutinous Rice] that I had requested my spouse to make for this special occasion. In those days Nasi Kunyit is always cook and served at a special occasion. It a tradition that we have had for thousands of years. So it was only appropriate that I had this done when I reach my eightieth birthday. Above is a  photo of my wife and me on that auspicious day at our daughter's house. A wonderful moment in my life indeed.  Have a nice day.

I love photographing the Moon. It a passion of mine since I got the Mirrorless Canon EOS M5 and the 200 mm lens. So from time to time when the sky is clear and the moon is bright I would just get outside the house and snap it in various shape as it move across the night sky day by day. For days the night sky have been covered with haze thus it just too difficult to get a good image of he moon. Anyhow I would try my best to get that window of opportunity, the seconds the sky is clear and the moon shows up I just snap it and happy with the result. Like tonight I went outside the house and saw the moon but the sky was hazy. It was just past 9.00 pm. I waited and managed to get a good shot of the moon as shown here. It does made me happy and I hope the visitors to my blog are happy too.  Have a nice day

I was in Kuantan last week. It sort of a Balik Kampong [return to hometown] retreat for me. Kuantan being my hometown I always go back there to relived my childhood as well the days of my youth. On the second day of my stay there which was a Saturday I decided to go to the nearest mosque to perform my Magrib prayer. After the Magrib prayer at the Masjid Negeri in Kuantan as I walk outside the mosque I saw this crescent moon in the night sky. I did not have my camera with me at that time so did not take any picture. Later on just before having dinner in town I again saw the moon. This time I use my Smartphone camera and snap the above image and sharing it here. Mashallah!.  Have a nice day.
