VISITING THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM OF KUALA SELANGOR DISTRICT

4TH MAY 2024 ~ On top of the Malawati Hill, there was the Historical Museum of Kuala Selangor District. We went inside as there was nothing else to do and the entrance ticket cost RM3.00 per person [if I remembered correctly].

The museum narrated the history of the early government of Selangor up to the present time. The two things I learned from my visit were: [1] The first Sultan of Selangor originated from the Johor rulers. [2] Selangor got its name from an insect of the swamp.

It was just a small museum and we finished the tour within 30 minutes. 

There were a few original cannons during the British colonial era outside the museum for people to see.

One thing the museum authority needs to do is to correct the English labels which are badly translated from Bahasa Melayu.

THE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION THAT HAPPENED AT NANDO'S IN IPC SHOPPING CENTRE

4th MAY 2024 ~ Someone celebrated her birthday today and her parents decided to have dinner at Nando's in a mall called Ikano Power Centre [IPC].

There was no birthday cake so Miss Reihana was forced to cut the chicken while I sang the birthday song for her.

There was no birthday present too but I hope the Angpau [TRANSLATE: money packet] would make her happy.

We had to leave once dinner was done as they had to send me to the airport as I had a flight to catch.

Thanks once again to the parents, Mr. Ridwan Wahid and Puan Suhaila, for the birthday treat to remember. It was significant as for once I got to celebrate the birthday of the girl whom I first met in Sydney in 2009.

THE GATHERING IN SEOUL [GARDEN] DURING THE SCHOOL HOLIDAY

27th MAY 2024 ~ When you could not go to Seoul during the school holiday, having a gathering in Seoul Garden would suffice. The 2023 SPM examination results were out today and some people needed to chill a bit. A few friends/ex-colleagues of SMK Dato' Jaafar decided to gather in a restaurant in Plaza Angsana to eat lunch and gossip for about 3 hours.

There was gifts presentation slot during the gathering too. 😀

I am glad that we still remain friends even though I have already left school for 5 months after my [early] retirement. Hoping we could do something like this more often in the future. Thanks to everyone who had come to eat, chat and laugh from the very beginning until the end.

STOPPING BY AT MASJID RAJA LUMU IN KUALA SELANGOR

 

4th MAY 2024 ~ My friend and I stopped by at Raja Lumu Mosque in Kuala Selangor which was located at the foot of the Malawati Hill for our afternoon prayers.

The mosque was recently known as Masjid Pekan Lama [TRANSLATE: Old Town Mosque] but was then upgraded and was officially opened by the Sultan in October 2022.

The mosque was a small one, perhaps to accommodate the small population of Muslims in that area.

The Muslim visitors should not worry when they come to visit Malawati Hill as the mosque was located right beside the entrance.
