MY OTHER BLOG : SHAH'S CORNER : HAVE BLOG WILL TRAVEL

An Evening In Kuching

The first time I ever set foot in Kuching, never mind Sarawak, was in 1989 and it was a trip I would never ever forget. Not ever and that’s no drama. Not because of my brief stay in Kuching which I thoroughly enjoyed, being a new experience and all, at a place which […]

The ‘Muzium Bugis’ of Pontian

I love museums. I have been to numerous museums over the years ever since I first stepped foot in Muzium Negara (or The National Museum) in Kuala Lumpur so many years ago : some within the shores of Malaysia and some located elsewhere in Europe and other parts of Asia. That said, my favourites are […]

Fort Cornwallis of George Town

Fort Cornwallis is a fort built by the British East India Company in 1786. It was built after Sir Francis Light took possession of Penang island after signing an agreement with the then reigning 20th Sultan of Kedah, Sultan Abdullah Mukarram Shah, offering military assistance in the case Kedah was ever to be attacked by […]

Penang Hill

They say that if ever you are on holiday in Penang Island, one of the things that you have to tick off that ‘Things to Do’ list in your hand is to make a trip up Bukit Bendera. ‘Bukit Bendera?’, you might ask. Well, it’s a perfectly honest and innocent question, especially for us […]

Penang, Pearl of The Orient

Penang is popularly known as the Pearl of The Orient, and Penang was where we, the family, went for our little family break. Well, with the exception of two members of the family that is. Unfortunately, but education do come first. For the record, we made plans for our little break to coincide […]

The Royal Museum, Kuala Lumpur

The Royal Museum, formerly known as the Istana Negara (National Palace), is located along Jalan Istana in Kuala Lumpur and was the official residence of Their Majesties, the King and Queen of Malaysia. My wife and I had made plans to visit the Royal Museum in the past but always had to defer […]

2017 : The Trip That Was

My wife and I travelled a fair bit in 2017, on business and for leisure. Melaka, Cameron Highlands, Kuantan, Pekan and a host more. All domestic, none overseas. Sad to say and much to our regret. Of all the trips that we made, the one that takes the cake has to be our […]

MY OTHER BLOG: NACHMEINEMEINUNG

Of Alma Maters And Reunions

Thanks to social media, the number of invitations to reunions coming my way has increased dramatically over the last few years. Not that I am complaining and neither is my wife, for she too has been receiving the same and no less in number at that. These reunions, as is widely acknowledged, have […]

Malay Pearls of Wisdom

I do not know what it is but lately, I have been getting rather more philosophical than usual. Could there be something in the wind that affects me so? I mean its late June now and August is just around the corner, and for the Chinese, August coincides with the Hungry Ghosts Festival (if I […]

Football and The World Cup

In case if anyone’s wondering, it’s the football World Cup season at the moment. That once-in-four-years moment when wives relinquish control of the TV remote (most households anyway) to their husbands and sons (and daughters too, maybe) and either join them to watch the football on the telly or quietly slip into a corner of […]

Blogging and Me

I guess it’s true when they say that time really flies when you are having fun. Fun, in this case, are my blogs and my posts, developing the story line and the ensuing write-up, selecting the ‘right’ images to aid in the story to be told, and all that is related to the article that […]

Songs In The Keys of Life

I recently attempted to compile a playlist of my all favourite songs. Why, as some of you are wont to ask? Well, there is a saying ‘Those who can’t do, teach’, which is rather unfair to those who teach actually. And according to my wife, those who can’t sing, compile playlists. Mind you, she said […]

From The Archives : The Joy of Philately aka Stamp Collecting

From The Archives : First Posted on 21 January 2014 I would like to state here, for the record that I am one of them. ‘Them’ being those who can admit that they actually have hobbies and pour moi, one of my hobbies is the hobby of collecting stamps or more glamourously known as philately, […]

From The Archives : Into The Annals of History – The Telephone Card

From The Archives : First Posted on 24 November 2012 Remember payphones? Those phones that would normally be found housed in a glass cubicle, especially in countries having four seasons, allowing you to make phone calls wherever you may be outside of your home. All you would need are coins of legal tender to start […]
