UPDATE 4 MINIT ... after dawn

Tuesday, July 4th, 2023, 6.45am, Kuantan

After dawn

The moon lingers

Saying hello to the sun

SUCCULENTS ... and the rainy season

Salam and good day

These are some succulents that I planted (more like transferred) into my small front yard recently.

I planted them in mid September. Then I realised, mid September is not the best time to plant succulents in the yard, because it was so close to the rainy season.

Well, it is October now and the rain has already started, and will get wetter come November and December. I hope they will survive the monsoon. If not, I will have to replant them, after the rain, probably in February or March.

We'll just have to wait and see.

THE HYBRID THEORY ... Kuantan Mini Zoo

Salam and good day

Visited our upgraded Mini Zoo yesterday with my grandson. Pleasantly surprised,I must say.

Apparently, it's the first hybrid zoo in Malaysia. Hybrid in that it combines both live animals and replicas of pre historic predators. Worth a visit. I'm just going to post pictures of the Mini Zoo... in mini packages.

TO SEE A WORLD ...

27.07.2019 - Kuantan, 9am, Saturday, Teluk Tongkang beach

A truth that’s told with bad intent
Beats all the Lies you can invent.
It is right it should be so;
Man was made for Joy and Woe;
And when this we rightly know
Thro’ the World we safely go.

Every Night and every Morn
Some to Misery are Born.
Every Morn and every Night
Some are Born to sweet delight.
Some are Born to sweet delight,
Some are Born to Endless Night.

William Blake

TUESDAY MORNING IN KUANTAN

Salam and good day.

Tuesday - 25.12.2018
Took my grandchildren to Sungai Pandan waterfall, aka Panching waterfall.

The last time I came was more than 20 years ago. Situated less than 20km from Kuantan, it is practically right at our doorstep... still, not many Kuantan citizen has ever set foot here.

it is pretty much the most beautiful and clean waterfall I have ever been to. Great for relaxing with family and friends.

BLAST FROM THE PAST... jumpa sekali lagi.

BLAST FROM THE PAST- ya, saya masih ingat kau

date: 14.03.2010

location: Rajawali Art Gallery, Kuantan

with Abdullah Jones.

gembira berjumpa AJ setelah lebih 20 tahun tidak bertemu. baru saya tahu siapa sebenarnya Abdullah Jones. sebelum ini saya cuma tahu dia salah seorang kawan arwah abang saya, yang sering lepak dirumah kami sewaktu muda2 dulu. tapi saya tak tahu kawan yang mana satu, dalam fb dan blog pun tak pernah ada gambarnya... dan dia sendiri juga tak mahu beritahu saya siapa sebenarnya dia...not fair...dia tahu saya, saya tak tahu dia...

sangat curious saya mahu tahu identity nya. maka kami cuba set date untuk saya ke studionya...tapi beberapa kali (maksudnya banyak kali, ok) tak jadi, sebab AJ sangat busy orangnya...jarang ada di kuantan.

at last, hari semalam dia kata dia free, maka, loaded with curiosity and excitement...hehe, saya ke studionya di Cenderawasih...tak jauh cuma 15 minit dari rumah saya...

first saya nampak wajah yang agak familiar, tapi saya memang tidak ingat namanya...sehingga diberitahu ... memang seronok berjumpa kawan yang sama generasi, banyak cerita yang dikongsi...dan....yang paling penting....saya ada semula kawan untuk melepak di kuantan...hehe

sorry, gambar AJ saya tak boleh letak...nanti kena saman 2 juta...:-D

berjumpa Abdullah Jones mengingatkan saya kepada arwah abang ...rindunya saya pada dia... :-(

SUNGAI LEMBING - revisited

Sunday: 3.30 am: 29.nov 2009

case tak boleh tidur....dari aku berangan tak tentu pasal, lebih baik aku upodate blog.

16.Nov 2009

location: Sungai Lembing, Kuantan with cactus, organik

time: 12.00 noon - 5pm

kami ke Jaya Gading untuk lunch. on the way, Tito mentioned yang kami semua dah lama tak ke sungai lembing. ya...memang semester ini agak penuh jadual saya maka tak banyak masa untuk perkara2 lain.

lagipun, next semester Tito akan buat industrial training...surely tak akan dapat join kami ke Sg Lembing lagi...kata Yusry dengan kejinya.

saya...yang sudah bosan memasukkan markah ke system dari pagi memang mencari alasan untuk tak mahu masuk ofis semula.....lagi dua hari ke dateline tu belum dikira sebagai last minute in my book....kalau lagi 6 jam ke dateline baru last minute...hehe...time tu baru saya boleh focus...

maka...sampai lah kami ke Sg Lembing....sekali lagi...tanpa dirancang. namun kali ini kami cuma ke kawasan disekitar bandar...melihat rumah2 lama yang ditinggalkan sejak zaman perlombongan dulu...walau cuma di rumah2 tinggalan, kami tetap gembira...trip to Sg Lembing is always stress free...dan of course, aku pergi dengan pakaian kerja...huhuhu...

ok. malas nak tulis panjang2. tengok gambar je ok.

.ok...boleh tidur sekarang ... lepas dengar 'FRIENDS WILL BE FRIENDS' dari Queen
