Sometimes I wander back into those shadows

Took a 45 minutes brisk walk in Section 12, Petaling Jaya where I grew up with my sister and 3 brothers, Father and Mother.


Picture on the left is our modest home where my 97 year old father still resides. We first moved into this house in 1961, more than 4 decades ago!







The 3 pictures above are pictures of Raihan Kindergaten where my 2 elder children began their first steps into school where they learnt to soicalize with other 4-6 years old. The kindergarten belonged to Datuk Raihan, a beautufl wife of a Diplomat and as kind as she was beautiful. Unfortunately she perished in an accident on the Federal Highway about 15 years ago. The kindergarten has not changed a bit.


Some of the houses are still found in their original designs, as shown in the 3 pictures above.



Many of the houses had been renewed and rebuilt into grandios residences and mansions, as shown in the 6 pictures above.


In this matured neighbourhood, beautiful fauna and flora are found almost everywhere.

Sometimes I wander back into those shadows,
Quietly being who I used to be,
Bringing to life all the joys and the sorrows,
Days that can’t die while they still live in me.
