Wan, this coming to you from Toronto, Canada.<br />I happened to check out Batu Berendam in the '50s via Google and came across your Blog re your stay there during the Japanese occupation.<br />And your very eloquent posting of your young days at your grandfather's house was in many ways similar to my own experiences. We too hid out there during the Japanese occupation.<br /><br />My grandfather too had a house, attap roof and earthen floor, well for water at the rear, very close to the airport back in the early 40's, 50's. His house with lots of fruit trees, an acre of land was 100 yards from the main road, and close to the intersection of road leading to Malacca town, I've forgotten the name but remember the kedai kopi where my grandfather used to spend his time with friends buka cherita. He was then a Station Master in Malacca. <br /><br />He later moved to Pokok Mangga road, Malacca, near Tanjong. My parents house nearby at Limbongan, a stone's throw from Happy Land hotel.<br /><br />My relatives, mom are all resting in peace at Bukit Jelutong.<br />Thanks for the memories, Wan.<br />Best regards, you keep well.<br />Lee.<br />ps, I studied at ACS, HM then was Mr Shoemaker.<br /><br />cswanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18173805507288461855noreply@blogger.com
