A day at parit buntar

a convoy of 2 families heading to the same destination, sharing the same  vision & one kind grandmother unite them and welcome them with hospitality  ---> sound  like a drama plot? that  was a true story that i'd experienced during the 'Merdeka' eve,  after what seemed to be a never ending journey & a dramatic 'crush' or 'unconditional love' by the 'abang' police  due to small mistake..  back to main topic, as for the introduction, Parit Buntar house  traditional residence, the antique element of wooden double storey houses were preserved together with their beautiful carvings..  Modernization cause extinction of traditional houses & replaced them with city of stone and this phenomenon  spread to the village till a younger generation like me only encounter the same characteristics of the traditional houses at museum - beautiful carvings, wooden house with  a panel between window (dunno how to describe it but i know that it was  a famous spot for photographers to shot wedding pictures!) & magnificent landscape of flowers... no wonder i was so 'jakun' when surrounded   by  traditional houses! yes, i'm a 'kampung' folk,  but my village was already  polluted with modern houses or wooden houses with no artistic touch at all.. the same goes to nearby villages & the villages nearby the 'nearby villages' & the cycle continues=)
