This morning I decide to drive to KLCC to get some items that could be got only there. I have not driven the Accord to KLCC for some  times already. The furthest I drive nowadays is to Ampang Point, a mall that is just one and half kilometres away. KLCC is ten kilometers right to the parking lots. To and fro it twenty kilometers. An easy drive from my home in Ampang Jaya using the Ahlek elevated highway. Just before ten in the morning I left the house and got there before ten. Parked my car at level three and went into the mall after going through the Covid19 ritual of unsing the MySejahtera App. There were not many people at this early hour. Straight away I walk to M & S and got a few packages of our favourite biscuits. Then went to Kinokuniya to looks for books. I left kino without getting any book and took the escalator down to the Isetan supermarket and bought two whole roasted Black pepper chicken that my spouse had suggested that I buy. I then got to my car an...

Cat have been around since I could remember. It has always been part of the family. I just could not remember the numbers of cats that have been iiving with us all those years. Anyway our life have been like that alway with one or more cat at our home. Just until a few months ago we had two cats that live at the Serambi but are allows to come into the house from time to time. They are Tam and Kenet. Tam died a few months ago and now we just have Kenet that I raised from a little kitten. We also have an indoor cat, a British Short hair who live in the house only. We call him Boiboy. He is Nenek's favourite. Anyway to us cats do gives so much loves and sort of a good therapeutic relationship for us human and animals. I noticed that Kenet love to sit by the sejadah during solat time. It been sort of a ritual to him. Well folks life is like that and I am enjoying it. Have a nice day.

In the early days of photography the only way one can immortalized one's image is to get it done at the Photo studio. Before that through paintings or sculptures and it never reach to anyone in the society. Only photography allows everyone to get a photo of oneself. Now anyone with the Smartphone could photographed anything he or she wishes and kept that images in the computer or in the Clouds. The question here is it save, what with the ever changing technology. Remember all the images stored in the floppy disk and disket can no longer be retrieved and I believed even the VCD and the DVD would be obsolete soon. So if you had not turn all the images or at least a few into hard copy you are going for a  shocked!  With the ever changing technology you would no longer be able to see those memories of yours. Recently my eldest granddaughter phone caput and she lost all the photos of her first child. She cried! Lucky for her the others in the family kept some images of ...

When I was working I used to stay in hotels or resort. Everything in a hotel looks great to stay but it cost. So when I retired  I decided to turn my house into sort of a resort living standard. Why not since we have the space. I decided to do the interior only and since it a terres house I did little on the outside except plant more green to keep the front of the house cool. Interior deco is my forte so it only takes my imagination and times to get whatever I want to reality. No fees needed ha ha! With the money I got in retirement I started to works on my dream. I tell myself that take one step a time. So after coming back from the US in 1999. (We live in Boston for one year to takes care of our three grandchildren while our eldest daughter and her husband did their post graduate studies at Harvard University) So after a month of back in our house I start planning. Got a contractor to do the major works. First change the flooring to laminated woods and construct a woo...

Daughter Lin had a job to do in Kuantan. Nenek ask me 'na gi ke'. Pucuk dicita ulam mendatang. Sure I want to go to Kuantan, my home town. Since I retires I always try to balik kampong once in two or three months and stay for a few days. If Nenek did not want to come along it was OK with me. I would get my eldest daughter's driver to send me and I would stay at the usual hotel which I call my home in Kuantan but now as I ages I can no longer go alone anywhere. This time with Nenek going too I decided to follow. We arrived yesterday and are staying at the Kuantan Hyatt at Teluk Cempedak. Teluk Cempedak used to be my playground during my childhood where we as Boy scout would go camping on weekends. The sea and the beach soon became part of my DNA...  I soon felt in love with the sea, the beach and the surrounding natures. From thence onward the call of the sea is always there. I am most happy whenever I get connected with the sea especially at Teluk Cempedak. So h...
