I wish I had taken a photograph of Dayah's snotty sister sitting on the settee in Boon Lay to show to her brood of five!anak si-hamidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936071509364600235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504059632454233163.post-53947124130415199242014-07-07T07:49:44.230+01:002014-07-07T07:49:44.230+01:00Thank you dear weird niece,

You also know there will be all sorts of 'kuih-muih' and goodies like epok epok waiting for you. <br /><br />Treasure those memories Dayah.anak si-hamidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936071509364600235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504059632454233163.post-80166813430710954522014-07-07T07:42:14.656+01:002014-07-07T07:42:14.656+01:00Thank you Anon July 7, 2014 at 3.21am
I failed to...Thank you Anon July 7, 2014 at 3.21am<br /><br />I failed to mention that this drawing of the kampung is taken from the spouse's book "Fatimah's Kampung" (2008)which takes on a parable of the life and death of a kampung - set around the beginning of the 'tudung' era. (Please note I'm not plugging the spouse's book here).<br /><br />So that image is not based on a kampung in the pre-'tudung' period of the 1950s.<br /><br />But the setting, the landscape, the coconut trees, the chickens and cats, and the houses are from my memories of Kampung Abu Kassim and other kampungs I've been to in Singapore, including those on Pulau Merlimau and Pulau Seking from the Southern Islands.<br /><br />In general most Malay kampungs retain their early originality- only the Malays have changed - 'tudung' or no 'tudung'.<br /><br /><br /><br />anak si-hamidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936071509364600235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504059632454233163.post-12672414982503881792014-07-07T03:21:45.154+01:002014-07-07T03:21:45.154+01:00The kampung illustration evocative but tudung wear...The kampung illustration evocative but tudung wearing in those days?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504059632454233163.post-77209905460178791792014-07-07T03:09:19.704+01:002014-07-07T03:09:19.704+01:00Dear Mak Ngah,
