| Nothing special just a natural setting at an Orang Asli home. .. |

I celebrated Merdeka early this year. When August 31 came
around I stayed home preferring the quiet weekend I had earlier in the jungle
at Batu 14 Jalan Pahang Tapah.
I think I preferred the nature and greenery that
reminded me of old Malaysia.

It was an orang asli village belonging to Pak Ayob and his wife Zaini. Ayob had arranged for his grandchildren and their friends to meet us for a photo shoot.
 |
| Nice setting, outer design .... |
It was all very well done but what was more
interesting was his kampong where he stayed or rather the design of his houses
and layout.
There were 2 houses belonging to Ayob and his son. Both were done very tastefully with traditional just plain orang asli styling. It was great for the photo shoot
 |
| ....inner design...a cozy setting |
 |
| ...and neat surroundings |
 |
| Ayob's son house behind the children is within the same compound ...... |

With the kids around us painted in traditional colours
it was so nostalgically Malaysian.

There was so much changing around us but it’s nice to
remember the old days once in a while.
