The Present - Kota Bharu yang ku tinggalkan III

Sun rising above the hyper Mall beneath the Sutan Yahya Petra Bridge. This place down below (bowoh lemboh) now attract thousand of shoppers since the Mall was opened earlier this year. This area before was very fertiled and usually planted with all kind of short term crops such as honey dew, watermelon and corn and it is formed part of Kelantan Delta. Year end monsoon and the swelling and sweeeping tide from upstream will replenish this land with natural fertilizer, and the cycle goes on.

It was quite unlikely to go down here before unless you are local and involves with agriculture or rearing of goats or cows. Part of this land below before was cut off by Kelantan river.

Now the land looks set to become big in different way. The area now is easily accessible for morning breeze and it is becoming a new attraction of sorts.

I help myself for a shot under the bridge. A bridge that faithfully serve Kelantanse for over 45 years and has seen it better days.

View from the single lane bridge that connects to Sabak Beach from the main road. The area is far cry from the time I frequented 20++ years ago. Gone was the scenic view that greets visitor as you approach the bridge. I don't want to mention about the dumping ite nearby. Only a few houses left that is so closed to the bank of the Sabak Beach. A few dilapidated warungs are in business serving the poorly tasted satar and otak2. You hear the wave pounding against the shore but you cannot see the sea as it it blocked by rocks that is piled on th shore to stop the erosion. I stretching my self to find a reasonable space for a decent shot. The following is what I have taken. A silhoutte from the bridge and a picture of my son againt the rocky bank of Sabak Beach, Kota Bharu.

The Present - Kota Bharu yang ku tinggalkan

Gambaran Kota Bharu Water Front saat senja menjelma. Sekita Tambatan d Raja, bukan lagi tempat yg kita kenali suatu masa dahulu bahkan berubah menjadi up market zone for those who wish to dine in style whilst enjoying the soothing breeze of Kelantan River.

The Present - 8/8/08 .......

8/8/2008, 8/8/08 OR August 8th 2008, whatever you want to put it. A nice looking date. I want to find the significant of this date. Ok, Beijing Olympic starts today, many would probably get to tie their knot today, someone might knock into your car or yours into another, yesterday 7 August 2008 DS Anwar Ibrahim was against charged for sodomy very few people believes he had committed it.

Tomorrow my father in law will be in town. Tonite I have to attend Parents Teacher Assc. program, PTA which I m now heading. What else? This morning I had breakfast of nasi lemak and telor mata, just like any other morning. A telemarketeer called me asking me to buy product I never even want to consider. Friday prayer in the afternoon follow by lunch. Life looks customarily normal today, friday 8/8/2008. Let's decide that 8/8/08 is just another date, one of those days uneventful day.

OK let me decide the significant. Since today is 8/8/2008, For the 1st time there is no photo for my posting. Just this dull note. Happy eerr...happy weekend.

The Present - Hujung Minggu di Kuala Terengganu II

An old 'floating mosque' seen from across Losong Feri. Beautiful to my eye than the lavishly done Glass Mosque nearby. I just wonder what would happen to this mosque during the flood season. I m sure the folks there have good reason why it is built so close to the water or actually over the water

The Present - Hujung Minggu di Kuala Trengganu I

Terlihat sepasang suami isteri berjalan pulang ke pantai saat matahari melabuhkan tirai.

The Present - Hujung Minggu di Kuala Trengganu

Sesudah subuh, Pantai Batu Burok, Kuala Trengganu. Matahari menjenguk agak lewat diselimuti oleh awan tebal di ufuk timur. Laut beralun tenang bersama memulai hari yang baru.
