I was in the navy ( Malay Section of the British Royal Navy ). We sailed in HMS Scorpion ( ABDUL RAHMAN B.Y. A.B. MN 713 (Malay Section) SCORPION ) and sailed the South China Sea to the Borneo and surrounding areas. I was handling the telegraph machine, that was my job. It was the during the World War II. ( The Japanese started to raid South East Asia December 1941 thru Songkla and Patani Siam, then Thailand, followed by Malaya thru Kota Bharu. From January to February 1942, heavy war between the Japanese and British over Singapore resulting in the British surrender. ) Then our ship was bombed by the Japanese . That caused a large hole on the ship and ship began to capsize. I was with two other ship personnel - Chinese. They were cooks. We jumped ship, and swam. ( 13/02/42 M.P.K. SHIP LOSS ) Then we made it into a sampan and got away . We made it to Padang of Sumatera. Then the Japanese found us and we were captured. ( True account of HMS Scorpion is that it was attacked by Japanes...
Where to start with this old '96 Jeep of mine. Must have been 5 years now since we last used it. (Pic is taken during the good old times, probably in '98! From left: Ajim 4 now 15, Emi & Liyana) A lot of mishaps with this Jeep, ever since we first bought it. A week after taking it from the dealer, I took it to KL with my kids and maid. We had our first break down, at Karak, a brand new car, rosak tepi jalan, with kids in it... what a blow that was. We had it towed to KL and fixed a leaking clutch fluid tube, purgh. The wear and tear is expensive for this Jeep. One by one the sensors failed on us! They must have been substandard, locally assembled lah kan. Then a major part rosak and not available locally. Tah macam mane, one workshop managed to fix it. But then other problems arise and we didn't use it for quite a white. Then we bought a Wira hatchback and I got to use a company car. So we gave the Jeep a rest. Just too long. It ended up at a garbage dump hauled there...
Our planned family trip to Jerantut over the 4 day weekend didn't turn out as it should. We left Kuantan Friday about 9am and reached Jerantut about eleven. It was drizzling as we set out. Not that it dampen our spirit for camping and fishing at Kg. Bukit Dinding, the cool morning made us more excited and eager to set camp. The weather was forecasted 60% chance of rain throughout the weekend. So the backup plan should we decide not to camp out was to head for KL. That was what we did as the Pahang river had risen high and there were noticable floods at low grounds besides the road. Next day we took up an offer to hike Bukit Tabur near Melawati and Ulu Klang Dam. Our nephew a regular to Bukit Tabur offered to take us up and we were up to it. Looking at pictures of the hill, we were skeptical of us managing it. But it was just too good of an opportunity to refuse. 11am we started our way up hill. Ikram estimated the hike would take us 4 hours. The trail started straight uphill and we...
