My dad is from Muar, Johor.. But I still am, a Singapore Malay.<br />My early education was in Singapore, from Kindergarten - at balai rakyat - then two years in Ngee Ann primary school - at that time we had to use the Bedok Primary School - <br />When i was 8 , we went to Brunei, my father got a job in the Royal Brunei Armed Forces, so i went to St. Andrew's school then continued my A levels at Maktab Duli... then went to UPM... and now in KL....<br />Looks like we have something in common....<br />I pray that you will always be in good health and happiness always :)globetrotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192380200656286725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504059632454233163.post-59333937267966355862013-07-03T09:25:05.183+01:002013-07-03T09:25:05.183+01:00Dear Anon July 2,
Thank you for your kind comment...Dear Anon July 2,<br /><br />Thank you for your kind comment.<br /><br />Yes, those old photographs have a character of their own just like those sepia photographs from over a hundred years ago.<br /><br />As for the background, it's just an opening for a room full of books, books and books. Technically it is a kitchen hatch because that room was supposed to be the kitchen!<br /><br />As for pictures of our house? No, it's just a big nest of junk, what my mak would describe as 'karung guni'!anak si-hamidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936071509364600235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504059632454233163.post-31765320982296299162013-07-02T09:48:05.607+01:002013-07-02T09:48:05.607+01:00Good reading.Stories about great bondship always m...Good reading.Stories about great bondship always makes me melancholy.<br />I love your pictures - pictures of old somehow are so different.Perhaps these days of camera phone dilute photographing a little bit.<br />And JJ Cale ... What can I say.Not many people knows about him..and to think he is Eric Clapton's mentor.<br />Curious about your wall ... Is it a dug-out bookshelf or an opening with a room beyond.Can we have more pics of your house? I keep a picture collection of writers room.I find it therapeutic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504059632454233163.post-72779392057942817232013-06-29T04:02:20.224+01:002013-06-29T04:02:20.224+01:00June 26, 8.49 am,

The lighter skin is more Eurasian than the darker one.<br /><br />It's like this. If you're a light-skinned Malay you can be taken as a Chinese.<br /><br />But as for Munah, she's a Muslim - speaks Malay and Brunei Malay, like the rest of her family. We just don't notice her looks.<br /><br />That's how Malays are defined.<br /><br />anak si-hamidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936071509364600235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504059632454233163.post-41185034090528312912013-06-26T08:49:57.018+01:002013-06-26T08:49:57.018+01:00Nice but cant help noticing Munah looks more Eura...Nice but cant help noticing Munah looks more Eurasian than Yvonne.
