The Representatives From Logos Hope

At The Entrance Of The Ship

Crowd moving up the gang way on the star board side of the ship.At the time a smaller crowd were moving down on the other gang way.Both shared the same entrance and outlet.The bridge up seemingly flimsy but durable.Slightly shaky because of the huge crowd but it was nevertheless very safe.There were a number crew present to control the moving crowd.

The Main Lane Leading The Ship

The huge crowd marching towards the ship at snail space.The have been quite orderly,anxiously waiting patiently for their turn to be allowed into the ship.The long line of them told all and the crowd continued to built up.We were fortunate as our trip was prearranged,so we had a free passage into the ship led by the four representatives who visited us.

This where I lived in Bentong Estate

This was where I resided at Bentong Estate,Pahang.The ground floor was the plantation's office.Next to this were the smoke houses and rubber sheeting  factory..I lived on the upper floor.Very spacious with two rooms a large sitting hall and a kitchen.Bathroom was down stairs.One thing good here was that whenever it rained making coffee or tea you required no milk.River behind turned milky whenever it rained.Ha aha gotta u.

Three Years Old Durian _ Fruiting

Correct Way To Plant Durian

Say what you like this is the correct way to plant durian.I had planted durian this way and they all fruited within three years. Of course there were other elements involved.If you have followed my blog years back I have them recorded  these facts within.However,those who have faith in my method can can contact me.I assure you,you will never regret it.Three years fruiting of conal durians were a fact.I did it because I am the best planter around.

At Hurst Estate,Ulu Sapetang,Taiping,Perak

Relaxing and learning to play the guitar at the Manager's bungalow in Hurst Estate,Ulu Sapetang,Perak.Well,after work you just got to kill away the time in the evening.That time no television and only the radio to accompany us passsed our time away.At times we do play some badminton.It was still very lonely place to be with not many to talk to (accept the Manager and me).Staffs quarters are a distance away besides we were advised not go near them.

St.Andrew Estate,Batang,Selangor

Having a New Year's dinner at the Manager's bungalow.It was his last as he was asked to leave thereafter and I took over.

K.C.Cheah Sawmill,Karak,Pahang

I thought my days in the plantation sector were all over and therefore had to look for other pastures elsewhere.My uncle offered m,e a job at the sawmill in Karak,Pahang.No,no.there was no relationship between me and K.C.Cheah -I never knew him.My uncle was not a Cheah, offered me a job at the mill promising good prospects.Unfortunately after a while I found it not to my liking and I longed to return to planting.That was where I ought to be - free to roam at my own pleasure..I did not have to wait that long before my application to a Chinese plantation was accepted. Once in it I proved a force to be reckon with.

At Ulu Selangor Estate ,Kuala Kubu Baharu,Selangor

In 1968 I joined Ulu Seangor Estate,as its Manager.It was a small rubber plantation,situated on part of a steep hill..The plantation was best remembered for a very fatal accident on the main road .It was transporting rubber tappers and workers to the plantation to work.The accident occured on an early morning trip at a shape bend,killing twenty over tappers or so.Most of them females.Of course that was just before I joined them.Photo showed me having a small paarty with a group of friends at the club house of Kuala Kubu Bahru.
