A posting from my other Blog... Memories

A few days ago my spouse had this done; one of my favorite way of enjoying the Kembong fish. Fried crisps with chili sauce. The blended dry chili and anions etc. had to be fried into a thick paste and only then would the fish, which had already been deep-fried be added to it. Otherwise it would not taste as good. She always did it perfect to my liking. To me personally the Ikan Kembong Goreng Belada always bring back memories of my childhood in Kuantan. I grew up in a restaurant which is also a place where we live, thus we always eat foods cook for the public consumption and it the same every day. To get to eat something different we kids had to go to our mother's home and enjoy her cooking and that is not often. One such fish that I had always enjoyed at my mother's house is the Ikan Kembong Goreng Belada, like in the image above. At the restaurant, it does not taste the same perhaps because mom cooking always has that special ingredient that is call love. They say the r...

I walk into the kitchen and saw this. It the creation of my spouse. She love interior decoration and from time to time shows her true creative mind. Loved it.  Have a nice day.

Last Saturday we went to KLCC for dinner. After dinner while the ladies went to shop I decides to do some photography of the evening there. Chance had it at that very moment the fountains at the pool of the KLCC was choreographed with sound and color. It was a really field-day to me to try my new  camera for the night scene. Been new to the latest technology of photography it was a learning process in trying to capture the best image using that camera. In the past I would use the heavy DSLR for this purpose. This evening the new EOS M10 a camera much smaller and lighter than the DSLR capturing images seem to be very easy indeed. Let the camera do everything with it builtin computer; than at the right moment just snap it. It is at this very moment that one have to understand the camera by feel and touch. Once that is done it became so easy. I took my time to take as many images as possible. I am sharing it here for all to enjoy much as I had enjoyed learning and photo...

        It was a beautiful Monday. I decided to go and Lepak [while the time away] at KLCC. Took the Grab service and in no time I got to the front of the KLCC. It just cost me RM10.00 for the fare and a good chat with the young driver of the Grab Taxi Service. Indeed, a new way of traveling especially in the city, getting from A to been B became so easy and a pleasure by the Grab or Uber taxi service. A new system to beat the traditional taxi service which have not really improved since times. With the services provided by Grab or Uber the traditional taxi service is having a hard time with the competition with Grab and Uber; folk who want a no fuss service getting from A to B. Well folks it the Internet and the technology that made this mode of travel possible. With the Smartphone and an Apps one is ready to go and enjoy the service. On arrival at KLCC I took my time to enjoy the place and then went to look for a place to have lunch but all the pl...

  One of the place that kept been washed clean every day is the beach. It stays clean until human or other being starts to dirty or spoil it. But with the tides and the waves that bashed the beach every minutes of the days the beach is been kept clean all the time. The best time to see the beach in its pristine condition is to go there early in the morning just before the sunrise. You not only get to watch the wonder of the majestic sun making its daily appearance above the horizon; you would be able to enjoy the scene that been played on the sandy beach as well. Crabs big and small would dig its holes all over the soft sands, scattered and hide in its holes whenever we approach it. It would come out again and again to scavenge for foods. When the tide is high all are gone, to come out again at low tide. An amazing ritual that been played again and again for eternity. These are some scenes of the beach at Teluk Cempedak Kuantan. Enjoy it folks as much as I had enjoyed ta...
