Kuala Kangsar - The Majestic City

What was there in KK? (Kuala Kangsar).



It was actually my dad's hometown.


When I was a little girl, there was no electricity and water supply to my dad's kampung. So I'd got the experience of 'mandi' perigi (well) and survive the night with the gasoline lights.



It was until I'm about 9 or 10, then only my dad's kampung got to enjoy those facilities, and the phone line 'bout 5 years after that. In short, my late grandma got to enjoy the 'light' as well.


What else was there???...it was all about my dad.

This is dad's first school - S.K. Clifford, KK before he is offered to Sekolah Alam Shah, in KL when he was 16. In fact, he is SAS 2nd batch I think.

(Well, he spent most of his life in KL I guess, hehe)


*********************


MCKK was also there, it is an impressive building i would say (sorry, no pic)



Then, we drove along to the 'istana' area.

This is the Istana ( this palace is more to official ceremony, else the clan will be in Ipoh).



**************************

This is 'Istana Kenangan' i.e. the resting palace.

The oldest majestic mosque, before those modern building technologies were profounded.

Mum told that my grandad was proudly claimed he'd prayed here before (note: my mum's dad was not from Perak).

-Masjid Ubudiah, KK, Perak-


Finally,

Just wanna share something that was not really impressive.

Well, this house is surely gonna be beautiful if it is taken care of. And, i'm also wndering, this house sure gonna has its own story to be told.

I'd even imagining the owners and their kids running around the house with their 70's or 60's outfits.

(haha..i'm one sensitive human towards memories & what's left behind..huhu...)
