journey thru thick time (1967-1972) from muar to pengkalan chepa

our first telephone number was 2255. Our auntie Mak Nah who lives in KL loved the number so much that she had it on her car number plate on her peugoet.

our next door neighbour was a sweet japanese man. sometimes he would find some earth worms and took my brother for fishing.

cakap pasal cacing, masa kecik banyak masalah cacing dalam perut. mungkin sebab kalau main dekat luar tu tak pakai kasut, kaki ayam aje. cacing tu ada yg kecik2 tapi ada juga yang panjang2. bila buang air besar kadang2 kena tarik dia keluar. so kena makan ubat macam dlm gambar tu.

Infront of our house, there is a school called SMK Pengkalan Chepa. There was one time where our mother or Mak we prefer to call her will make ice creams and we helped to sell them to the school kids. These ice creams or popsicles were made from sweet drinks like orange, vanilla, chocolate flavor etc. and came in different colors. They each cost 5 cents and on a hot sunny day, they sold out pretty fast. My favourite was ‘the one with asam merah’.
