Blast From The Past – Master & Commander

On Penang Bridge

This photo was taken in 1991 on Penang Bridge enroute to our headquarters in Penang after the last training exercise I had while I was still there. Around a month later I was sent on a course and subsequently posted on promotion to the Recruit Training Center at RMAFB Ipoh.

Left to Right: Myself, Leading Aircraftman Faizal (now a Flight Sergeant at the No.3 Search and Rescue Squadron), Aircraftman Nizam (I’ve lost touch with him), and Corporal Hashim (left the service as a Warrant Officer II)

Old soldiers never die, they just fade away….

Sunset

Sunset over Tanjung Malai from Kuah

This was taken early 2004 from Kuah looking towards Tanjung Malai. I was using my Casio Exilim 2.0 Megapixel camera then. We had just arrived back at Langkawi from Alor Setar after a storm and when I saw this, I asked the driver to stop.

Behind the silhouetted western hills
the sun goes down, a foundered bark
only a mighty sadness fills
the silence of the dark…
