After 30 years...


-This is the view on my way to school, the ever tranquil Taiping Lake Gardens, still remains the same to this very day-

Instead of putting my jumbled up ideas together to complete my assignment, I found myself writing about what I have experienced today. Nothing extraordinary actually but today I manage to drive to Bangsar Village on my own. Apparently it is not that far from Midvalley but I never dared to go there all by myself. However today I did it and all for the sake of meeting my two beloved primary school classmates. To drive there alone is not something that I can brag about but it somehow gives me a little more confident to drive to any destinations in Kuala Lumpur without relying on others. I guess I need to be bolder to try and venture, not only in driving to unfamiliar places but also any other new likely dealings… ;) Just like what Vincent van Gogh once said, “What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything”. That’s very true indeed! And now I am in the process to build that courage.

It was a pleasant evening to spend my time with Azleen and Rose. Like me, both Azleen and Rose are mothers with Rose in the lead – a mother of four beautiful young children! But you girls rock man!! Can wonderfully maintain your figure!! We attended the same primary school, SRK Treacher Methodist Girls’ School approximately 30 years back. We spent hours talking about our unforgettable moments, our friends’ whereabouts, our teachers, our experiences in life and on and on and on. Thanks to Azleen for bringing along the old pictures to freshen up our memories. I feel really good meeting both of you. I hope you girls feel the same way too. Perhaps we should do this once in a while, sort of a temporary getaway from the daily routine. I should have brought my camera with me but I was too excited upon meeting them that I totally forgot about it... :)

"the traveller"

for i am only a traveller finding my way among the streets of your new town, i have other places to go to. i shall someday work out a map of this city and traverse it on foot, someday. for i am only a traveller, and cannot stay longer where there is no home. take my love while you can, take my hatred, take my weathered hand if you will, for i shall have no home here, among the dull buildings where the heart cannot stay. for i am only a traveller on my way, to somewhere further than here. this is the city that broke my heart, that stole my feelings from me; this is the city that took away my love, that told me i must go away. i must go somewhere. somewhere, where they can know me; can recognise that i am a man. some night when the city is asleep i’ll walk out quietly along your cruel streets through the suburban edge and into the dawn forests. somewhere, perhaps near where the sun rises, i can sit down, and sometimes perhaps, i can tell myself, here i am a man. ~Muhammad Haji Salleh~ Mu

Malaysian Heritage

Dr Jaya was absolutely right. Staying in Melaka is definitely not boring at all. There are a lot of things to do, many things to see and many historical places to visit. I had a great time spending my weekends there. Since I decided not to go back to KL during weekends, I made plans with Zurina and Wazir to visit some of the beautiful places here. Melaka is a nice place to visit. I love watching the sunset at Klebang beach, window shopping at Mahkota Parade, eating “mee hoon basah” at the RR stall near our home, driving round the Melaka city at night with my friends, dinner at Anjung Batu…simply love the “ikan bakar”…ohhh so many things to tell and to share with. During one of the weekends, my friends and I visited one of the most popular attractions in Melaka that is the Taman Mini Malaysia. It is situated approximately 16 killometres from the city. The complex displays the actual size of the beautiful traditional crafted house from the 13 states in Malaysia. What is unique about Tama
