Balik Kampong.. Kuantan . ..

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 here am I watching the rising sun after Suboh this morning. As usual the raising sun always facinate me.  A magnificent sight to watch and wonder indeed. Folks that is Life in the golden years. 

Have a nice day.

Syaz Rahim, Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this posting. During my youth Kuantan was a pristine town with an international port where ships ply to China and Australia. BTW sungei Karang is a nice place to stay and the beach is just there. Have a nice day.
