WARM NIGHTS - COOL JAZZ


Port Klang Malaysia in the 60s...

Vivid memories of hawker vendors plying the streets in their wooden carts cooking and feeding their customers from hot coal stoves, fires under blackened woks, sudden gushes of steam as lids are lifted, metal pots of curries and soups bubbling away... 

Stomachs rumbling for local fares like char bee hoon, mee goreng, char kway teow, laksa, nasi lemak, spicy spicy calamari, blachan kangkong, curry chicken, siew mai, ayam ria, nasi goreng, salt pepper chicken, satays, rendang, roti, laughter, kopi peng, sweet tea...
ahh damn nice... sweet memories...


Nostalgia is precious!

END OF DAY IN DOUBLE BAY & POEM "WINDS OF FATE"

 The Winds of Fate

One ship drives east and another drives west
With the self same winds that blow.
Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales
Which tells us the way to go.

Like the winds of the seas are the ways of fate,
As we voyage along through the life:
Tis the set of a soul
That decides its goal,
And not the calm or the strife.
