Malacca Rendezvous

The traffic crawls really really irk me!

 

Today, I took one hour to reach my Father's house in petaling-jaya, from my house 5 km away, then I took one and a half hours to reach malacca which is 140km away!  Yes, you guess right, my 101 year old father is bitten by the touring bug again!

Yummy?  mmm....

 

Took a short foot tour

Met a beautiful bride along the way who graciously allowed her picture to be taken. 

The Church was built in 1753!

She was busy playing tourist instead of looking after him!  Sigh...

Wonder what was going through his mind when he was looking at the Malaccaa River?

The maritime Museum

Busy chatting up the mm?

An exhilarating experience!

Joined sis's Tern Yun Qong group for an overnight retreat.  It was an exhilarating and unforgetable experience... to say the least.

With some members of the tern yun qong group and the Grandmaster from China on the extreme right

The grandmaster standing on the abdomens of participants to improve their health!  Apparently, sis (in white slippers) survived!  Apparently she did not feel any weight when he stood on top of her abodomen!  

The Grandmaster breaking bricks over their abdomens to improve their health.  Sis (second from the front), anxiously waiting to be "hammered"

I gave the Grandmaster the privilege of hammering 2 bricks on my left leg, to cure the problem of my left leg!  Well...the proof of the pudding is in the eating!  Anyway I'm a born loser, what to do?

This gentleman is strengthening his right arm.  I understand he had a real problem with both his arms and was cured after participating in tern yun qong and is now leading a small group on his own.   

Swallowing chopsticks is good for health (Oh dear, what am I saying?) The grandmaster preparing the chopsticks.

Participants inserting chopsticks in theeir mouths preparing to swallow!  yeecks!  This, sis and i dared not do.

The chopsticks were swallowed! Looked so easy, mmm......

Kuala Selangor rendezvous

Today was Father's second trip outstation.  This time we had Brother TK, his wife and daughter Fatim for company.

Pictures of Bukit Melawati 

Scenes at the Pasir Penampang Chinese fishing village

Taking a short break at a Kopitiam 

Visited Mother's grave site at Meru, Klang on the way back

Port Dickson rendezvous

Father seemed very restless when I visited him on Monday.  He talked energetically and loudly about wanting to move out,  he gave some reasons and a proposed an alternative place for himself to stay, he said, until he dies.  But what he wanted is not logical and we could not fully understand why he made the proposal. Anyway, to distract him I asked whether he wants to visit Parit_Buntar or Sabak_Bernam where we had stayed before for quite many years when he was assigned there.  He said, "No...no point..."  (and very unexpectedly) he said, "but can you bring me to Port_Dickson?" 

Several times in the past I had offerred to take him on driving tours but he had always turned me down.  Now, that was a surprise.  Anyway, today we had quite a successful trip to Port Dickson.  We left about 9.45 am and were back by 2.30pm.  He was generally calm and well-bahaved during the journey and seemed to be happy at the beach.    This would be his first 'long' trip since Mother passed away 14 years ago.  I will try to get him to go out more often

 

Sis's admirer at the back!  he...he...
