Kuala Kangsar, a diminishing view

It was a rare view indeed, behind rows of modern shop houses in Kuala Kangsar, Perak.  I wouldn't think such view would last for much longer as old houses are changed to join the fashion of the day. Even the sugarlike plants at the front is difficult to find nowadays. These plants are natural alongside rivers and little streams.

A garden in sitiawan: cotton?

Everybody knows about cotton being grown in hot regions. Malaysia is never known as a place for cotton. There is a plant at the back of Mother in Law's house in Sitiawan. Even Kakdah herself refers to this plant as cotton.  These are collected, and will make soft and comfy pillow!!.The ripening fruits is so fluffy and wooly, that even if it is not cotton, it is almost cotton.. haha.
