Melaka has been raining over a week or two, but today the sky is blue and bright when I alifted from the driver seat and stood below a shady tree on Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho 1, in Melaka.


I have been following the commemorative prayers for a number of years, and began to film the event initially with a Samsung S5. Today, I am filming the 'Semagam' with a 4K HD Sony VideoCam and used the Filmora Wondershare application to produce a 1080p video on Desktop or if you prefer, watch it with your handphone on 720p50 HD.





Prominently Punjabis in Melaka are chiefly Sikhs and Gujaratis and they are from Northern states of India. In fact, I can still remember three of my friend, Sewak Singh, Mohan Singh and Teja Singh.


Punjab is a large territory in the northwest part of the Indian subcontinent, and it is known as the land of the five rivers.


This year is the 46th anniversary. Read the 44th HERE. I was told that YB Gobind Singh Deo has graced the commemorative prayers yesterday.

GE 14 marked the collapse of MCA and the big question now everyone is thinking could be, “ Is it worthwhile for MCA to continue to transform, stabilize and strengthen and regain its glory of its formation in 1949 and early years ? ”


I have a hair-cut just now, with the second generation barber at the old ‘pondok’ [ booth ] which is still standing since 1969. I asked  my barber and his customer, “ Do you think MCA can be rebuild ? ” They shared a same answer.“ Sepuluh tahun lagi, belum tentu boleh ! ”




Do you think MCA can be rebuild ?

Yes, MCA can be rebuild
No, MCA cannot be rebuild

Peringgit Mosque

The hill got its name as Peringgit Hill, when the Portuguese Government (1511-1641) build a guard-post on top of the hill to survey the movements and threats from the people of Naning, a small independence state north of Melaka. Since then, it was called Peringgit Hill and later known as Peringgit by the locals (referring to the Portuguese Colonial)


The old Peringgit Mosque built in the year 1141 Hijrah (1726AD) was destroyed and the present mosque was built in 1293 Hijrah (1868AD). Aestheticaly a traditoanl Melaka Mosque, it is square in shape, where its main foundation and walls are constructed from laterite blocks and Dutch bricks and the floor is furnished with terracotta arrangements. The attic, truss, window panels and door are made from timber wood. A three tiers roof are the main characteristics of the mosques in Melaka where it is roofed with Chinese tiles at the verandah and Dutch tiles at the middle and main roof. The dome or its summit is finished with specially carved coral stones as could be seen.


In 1978/1979 the back portion of the mosque was extended by the State Government with concrete structure thus resulting in the elimination of the main stairs, well, ablution pond, terracotta arrangements and the Dutch bricks at the front compound area. The Chinese and the Dutch roofing and the terracotta floor at the verandah were replaced with modern tiles. Additional building was erected on the right wing of the mosque which was utilized as religious classes for the local children.


Following the completion of the state mosque in 1988, the Peringgit mosque was relief from holding the Friday prayer because of its locaton withing the vicinity and its 'Kariah' was transferred  under the jurisdiction of the state mosque.


The mosque continue to serve the people for daily prayers.


When the timber works were destroyed by termites and rain water, making it unsafe, the Museum and Antiquity Department in 2002 took the responsibilities to make the conservation works to restore the original looks of the Peringgit Mosque.


Masjid Peringgit

Peringgit mendapat namanya apabila Pemerintah Portugis di Melaka (1511 - 1641) membina pos kawalan dipuncak bukit itu. Ianya bertujuan mengawal pergerakan serangan orang-orang Naning, daerah kecil yang merdeka. Lantas bukit ini disebut sebagai Bukit Peringgit dan kemudiannya disebut Peringgit kekal hingga hari ini. (Peringgi adalah gelaran orang-orang Melaka terhadap orang Portugis)


Masjid asal Peringgit yang dibina pada tahun 1141 Hijrah bersamaan 1726 Masihi telah musnah. Masjid itu pula telah dibina pada tahun 1293 Hijrah bersamaan 1868 Masihi. Ianya adalah masjid tradisional Negeri Melaka. Berbentuk empat persegi, bahan binaan terdiri daripada batu laterite dan batu bata era Belanda sebagai asas dan dinding, lantai masjid diperbuat daripada susunan terracotta. Loteng, perabung, kekisi tingkap dan pintu dibuat dari kayu. Tiga lapisan bumbung adalah ciri utama masjid di Melaka. Gentingnya terdiri daripada genting China pada bahagian verandah dan genting Belanda pada bumbung tengah dan bumbung utama. Bahagian kubah/punchk dibuat dari batu karang berukir seperti yang dapat dilihat
.

Pada tahun 1978/1979 kerajaan Negeri Melaka telah menambah besar bahagian belakang masjid itu dengan binaan konkrit yang melenyapkan tangga utama, perigi, kolah, susunan terracota dan batu bata era Belanda di bahagian halaman. Genting China dan genting Belanda ditukar kepada genting simen dan lantai terracotta di verandah ditukar kepada jubin moden. Di bahagian sisi sebelah kanan telah dibina binaan tambahan yang digunakan sebagai kelas Fardu Ain untuk kanak-kanak setempat.


Apabila Masjid Negeri siap dibina pada tahun 1988, Masjid Peringgit tidak lagi digunakan untuk solat Jumaat kerana kedudukannya yang berhampiran dan kariah masjid berpindah ke Masjid Negeri. Masjid Peringgit digunakan oleh penduduk setempat untuk solat harian sahaja. Lama kelamaan banyak dari kerja kayunya yang roask disebabkan anai-anai dan air hujan sehinggakan ianya tidak lagi selamat untuk digunakan.


Pada tahun 2002, Jabatan Muzium dan Antikuiti telah melaksanakan kerja-kerja konservasi dengan mengembalikan bentuk asal Masjid Peringgit.

His first time, my second time.

Coliseum Cafe is not only the oldest cafe in the country but it is a also a cafe I would introduce to my friends and family members.

My first visit to the cafe was sometime in the early 1980s when I was studying in Tunku Abdul Rahman College.

My son enjoyed his lunch today at Coliseum Cafe and likes this colonial cafe which was established in 1921.

Sunset Dinner. Lovely sunset dining for the perfect Two, when you are on dates and watch how your partner enjoy his or her meal, as the sun plunged behind the horizon leaving trailing orangy rays to fade, while the colorful lights surrounding you gain contrast in the dusking sky.


Every single sunset is different and you will never get boring dining with your partner on one day and accompanied your elder for a filial meal on the next day.


A different show of sunset everyday, and it is free for everyone to adore the beauty of nature as you and family grab the food to the joy of stronger bond.


At the end of the day, every person need to unwind, really relax after a hard day work to neutralize stress, prevent negative mood, and to remove anxiety to be calmly mindful and physically feel good when night fall.


Try to get a sense of peace that everything is going to be alright as you watched the sun setting over your dinner, I just did. This rooftop dining restaurant is beautifully located with the earth orbiting and rotating at an awesome angle, for the sunshine beautiful in sight, no pressure of radiating heat but the joy to watch the brilliant dancing of the sparkling lights between the bamboo leafs. This restaurant is above the RiverFront Sentral Hotel, a stone-throw from the hub for buses and cabs from from the north and south of Malaysia.

I have for the first time attended a function involving the autism group held in the mini-theatre of Oriental Medical in Melaka and is overwhelmed by their musical performance. Less out anyone outside the doors of the theater, everyone is inspired by the performers and stories of their summarized journey of life invoked the thinking brain to wonder how they have dealt with their imperfections from the very beginning.


As the saxophonist tell his agony of the earlier days, I held my face up to contain my tears with the eyes bottom lids, afraid or maybe shy that the audience would notice my emotion of momentary sadness. Shattered but quickly collected, I feel strong again, knowing that he has broke the ‘wall’ and is on stage to deliver his work to his audience.


How are we going to see them as from now.


I am sure they would like us to see them in this window of life, “ It is OK to be different “


Parents for the autistic child were sad, have coped and have hopes for them. Let’s not break their hopes and we have to begin seeing them an okay person, by accepting them a okay person and by treating them a okay person.

My Hari Raya Aidilfitri has begin today, and on the eve of the Lebaran, I enjoy the fun of video recording the St. John Fort from 3:00 in the afternoon.

There is plenty of trees and monkey in this hill and we are not suppose to feed them as they are protected by the Wildlife Department.

The monkeys are harmless and they do not disturb, afternoon walkers from the base to the hilltop. 

From the fort, you can see clearly, Double Tree by Hilton Melaka and Hatten Place with the Straits of Melaka stretching of one end to the other.

Do not forget to visit this heritage site, when you are staying in nearby hotels.

Seize The Moment for Portuguese Settlement and Kingfisher

After busy whatsapping to my Malay friends on the last two nights of Lailatul Qadar, I lazily woke up to a morning of a mild steel blue-greys sky.

My wife was still sleeping soundly, when I scrapped an apple which I did almost every morning to munch before breakfast.

Since it was a holiday for the first day of Aidilfitri, I reviewed my social media platforms to identify for improvement because I like and has wanted to contribute to Melaka progress. I have this idea of making Melaka a better place since 1986 when I began work with Nationwide Express, a courier services company. 

Soon, I got married in 1988 and was pretty busy with my career until a first reunion of the old boys of Malacca High School in 2009. The latest, HSOB 73 - 77 Ramada Plaza. From the Mahkota Century Meet, arose a good compromising of time between career and leisure where friends requested for a platform to keep in touch. That is how I come to be a user of Blogger, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

Starting with a Samsung S3 as a hardware tool, slowly I have the Samsung S5, later the S6, a Sony Cyber Shot camera, a Sony 4K Handycam, a Huawei Mate 9 and lately a DJI Spark, spreading over the last 10 years. I have always knew that photography is an expensive hobby but an interesting hobby which goes with experience and patience.

It was a 'gift' when I was seizing some moments with my mini-drone, the DJI Spark within the Medan Selera MBMB courtyard where a row of Portuguese restaurants get busy before sunset to serve dinners. 

I met BK Eng.

He gives me 2 photos he shot with his EM5MK2 Pana Leica 100-400mm and here they are :

You see ! ... not only I could enjoy the Portuguese cuisine, but also the Portuguese community abilities on the musical performances and dances, their Intrudu fiesta, San Pedro event, the year end Christmas celebrations but also the nature of beauty, the kingfisher, among the many.
