Memoir



The Cockney Amorist
by John Betjeman

Oh when my love, my darling,
You've left me here alone,
I'll walk the streets of London
Which once seemed all our own.
The vast suburban churches
Together we have found:
The ones which smelt of gaslight
The ones in incense drown'd;
I'll use them now for praying in
And not for looking round.
No more the Hackney Empire
Shall find us in its stalls
When on the lime lit crooner
The thankful curtain falls,
And soft electric lamplight
Reveals the gilded walls.
I will not go to Finsbury Park
The putting course to see
Nor cross the crowded High Road
To Williamsons' to tea,
For these and all the other things
Were part of you and me.
I love you, oh my darling,
And what I can't make out
Is why since you have left me
I'm somehow still about.

Early week escapade...

Was in London on monday and tuesday for a so called monday blues escapade from a gloomy days in Newcastle...were quite hot two days in London just nice to tan my skin...hehehehe...




...is undergoing expansion to accommodate future demand on rail transportation and the terminal will have modern look when the expansion is completed...

...the international terminal to europe with old architecture from the outside but modern from inside...the terminal is just beside King's Cross...

...and my destination of the day ended in Brighton Terminal...a day out to the seaside city with temperature soared to 28 degrees, perfect for lying on the beach to do some sunbathing...with the sea breeze and the seagulls flew around...

p.s.: sorry miss b could not meet you...hehehehe...

Rewind: A stop at Kuala Gandah...

At last, a chance to visit Kuala Gandah and this was unplanned stop enroute to Kuala Terengganu...and maybe will visit again in future to enjoy the time with the elephants at the rehabilitation centre for wild elephants...not because they involved with drugs or whatsoever but because of human invaded their forest and destroyed the habitat...hehehehee...

...a great design for the living, cosy and safe...

...some of the nice baskets made by the villagers...

...wooden beads bracelets which have been used in high fashion shows in Milan, New York, Paris and London...
