I think I may have posted too many pix last week. Today, I ran out of pix to put up then decided to go dig up some old pix and voila….your weekly FF is up! 
Enjoy and have a blessed weekend.
The Merry Makers, 1953 - my Grandpa played for this band. He’s the first one on the right. Ask your grandparents - they might know this band if they are from Penang.
Roxy, a great big fierce looking dog with a heart of a putty cat. :tongue:
The Queen’s Soldiers changing post. This was around the time when the Queen Mother passed away [2002].
My bau-bau bachang [distant] cousins who are in the up and coming band, Exit31 - Garry [L] & David [R]. Their US Tour starts in September. WOOOHOOO!!! :dancing: [Check out their Sample Music. My fav is Mother Theresa. :grin:]
Supposedly a masterpiece [I think it is, cant remember coz I took so many shots!] that Mum made me blow up and frame. It’s hanging in our living room.
Lizzy Lizard who was taking a stroll in Sydney’s Chinese Garden, quite a big fella that I was afraid of going any nearer!
My Daddy’s 1972 Volkswagon [1200], one owner since the purchase and it’s not for sale ~ so dont bother asking.

It’s a good thing I don’t remember the Merry Makers….
Is that the cicak comel? :thinking:
And best wishes to Garry and David. I like the Overslept sample!

I have been in a Volkswagon only once…sitting at the back gave me the claustrophobic feeling. There is no door at the back, the windows is just too small and cannot exit from the back.

Your dad’s beetle needs a new paint job hehe. Love your masterpiece. Very nice!

Ha! The Beetle! I remember this joke about a woman driving a Volks and the car broke down. So she got out and opened the bonnet! “Oh my God!” she shrieked. “Someone’s stolen my engine!” (For the uninitiated, the Volks’ engine is at the back of the car!)

Dabido : Wow, u were?? Wat were u doing here?
Consuela : Mum will never sell this car. So I dont have to worry…
Hedo : O yar - some cars are like that coz VW cant b fitted with AC coz of their mechanism - they were build for the desert to incorporate AC would mean a total make over.
Wuching :
STP : O yar - I know that joke, a dumb blonde one right? :LOL:
Merv : Errmm… that IS a new coat of paint, dear. :nocomment: We overhauled the car n all the repairs cost us RM20k+ n that’s NEW paint….:wink: It’s some pearly white paint. Those weird designs u see is actually shadow of the leaves above.
BJ : Huge people are not meant to sit at the back! :LOL: NO wonder you felt claustrophobic. :LOL:
Plink : O yar - they are VERY good. I like another song of theirs when David wasnt with the band they were then called Dufus - but I cant remember that song. It’s damn cun!
