Of Old Age and Health....

They say that Health is Wealth. At this age I know it is true indeed. Like folks of my age [I am seventy five plus years old] and above we all can never tell when we would be down with some serious health problem. Like me I was having constant stomach ache and treat it just as a normal pain. With some ointment and patented medicine I get alright and did not worry too much. Then my daughter ask me to do a check-up which I did. After a numbers of checking by the medial professionals I was found to have Gallstone and it had to be removed. So on March 31 this year I went for a surgery and it was removed. Since then I am recuperating well but as yet to be back to normal. After the surgery I lost my appetite and only after almost three months did I gain back my appetite and the sense of taste. I lost 7 kilo of my weight and now had recovered by days. I no longer drive to the city, just kept to the vicinity of the house.

Yesterday I found a Blogger's friend through the latest posting by his children on his Blog has fallen sick too and now been treated at a Specialist Hospital in Kuala Lumpur. Incidentally a week ago I was told by a friend in the neighbourhood that a mutual friend who live near my house was boarded to a Care Centre by his wife. So yesterday I went to the house and got more detail. His wife told me that she was not able to take care of him thus she decided to put him in a home Care Centre. I thought that was a good idea since the private Care Centre would be able to take care of him. In February a retired Army Officer and a close friend of mine got a stroke and was hospitalized for more than two months. Two week ago my spouse and I went to see him at his house in Bangsar. He look better but still learning of how to live a life after going through a stroke.  

So folks like all my friends I am taking it easy and hope that friends would understand that people at our age are no longer like before. I believe it takes time for folks of our age to totally recover; it does takes time.

Have a nice day anyway.

Halwa Maskat...

Sudah lama tidak merasai Halwa Maskat. Sangat sukar untuk dapat dibeli dipasaran pada masa ini. Puas dicari tetapi yang dapat tidaklah sesedap yang dibuat sendiri. Ini kerana bukan senang hendak membuatnya. Pertama hanya boleh dibuat dengan mengunakan Periok atau Belanga Tembaga. Belanga tredisi ini masih dibuat di Terengganu dan boleh dapat dibeli di Pasar Payang di Kuala Terengganu. Mengodel dan mengacawnya tampa berhenti mengambil masa tidak kurang dari tiga jam. Oleh itu hanya dengan menguna Belanga Tembaga yang tebal ini sajalah dapat menjamin juadah tredisi ini betul betul menjadi. Seminggu sudah NekNyang siapkan bahan bahan nya dan pada pagi Sabtu 7.11.20 ini bersama dengan anak dan cucu telah dapat dibuatnya. Alhamdulillah. Memang sedap. Recipe nya adalah turunmenurun dari Ayah saya yang membuat juadah ini sebagai makanan istimewa dihidang dan dijual direstaurannya di Kuantan pada setiap bulan Ramadan. Nasib baiklah isteri saya Asmah pada masa itu berumor dalam leng

The Sunrise at Teluk Cempedak...

We were in Kuantan for a short holiday. As usual I always take the time to watch the sunrise at Teluk Cempedak; a beach that I call my own. I grew up playing on that sandy beach from the age of seven years old and I felt in love with the sea. So going to that beach is a ritual that I never missed to do whenever I am in Kuantan.  Early that Saturday morning of September 3, 2016 I woke early and with my nephew driving we left for the beach at around 6.30am. According to the data I had the sun would rise at Teluk Cempedak at 7.01am that morning. When we arrived at the beach there were already others there waiting for the sun to rise. I had brought my latest camera the Canon EOS M10 with me. It is a Mirrorless camera, the new new generation of the DSLR. It is much smaller than the DSLR and have interchangeable lens. As soon as I got there I walk along the beach and enjoy the freshness of the morning air. Yonder at the horizon I could see some light as the the sun makes it
