a peek at these old piccy's of the area - where i live for 30 odd years now - makes me nostalgic. it was right up till the early 80s that the once familiar sight of thatched village ["kampong" in malay] houses and coconut tree's completely disappeared.
the only other place that is seemingly a carbon copy of life back then is up north in malacca, malaysia. coincidentally the birthplace of my peranakan community.
