This is an image of the city as seen through my lens.  Taken using the mirrorless camera Fujifilm with a 230  mm lens. At 8.08 am today 9.5 2023. Enjoy it folks.

The Suria mall, KLCC. 

The sun provides all the energy and thus provides all the nutrients for all lives to survive on planet Earth. The only species on the planet that could convert the  energy from the sun is the plant. That is the first source of all the nutrients. So if you eat meats, you are consuming a secondhand source of nutrients (the animals had to eat the plants first in order to get the nutrients). So, dumped all the meats and lived a healthy life by just eating plants. Have  nice day  

My first car was a Fiat 600, nombor BS 9438. It cost RM4 thousands  (government loans). Bought it in KL on 26.9.1967. Left KL at 3.15pm and drove all the way to JB.

One must get 3 years consecutively good confidential report to get promoted. In all the years I never got a bad annual confidential report. The KSU (with the approval of the promotion committee)  at that time  knew who gave that bad report sympathise with me, decided to post me to Sarawak on an acting appointment there. So, I just took it easy and worked diligently as usual. After a year or so, when the bad report was cleared. I got a letter saying I was promoted and back dated. With that, I got an arrears of RM10 thousands. At that time, I hardly had any savings, let alone that amount. It cost only RM5 thousand per person to do the haj at that time. With that blessing I decided to perform the Haj with my wife Asmah. It was the blessing that I could afford to do the haj with Asmah. A blessing in disg
