Life with the Two Crazy Dogs

PhotoHunt: Wooden

23 February 2008 by Two Crazy Dogs

The theme for today’s PhotoHunt is Wooden.  

 My picture of Wooden was taken when I was in Malaysia last year.   This is an old wooden house I saw in Ipoh.  I can’t remember what’s the name of the road.  I saw this old wooden house next to her brick counterparts which I’m sure is an eyesore to its neighbors.  She looks old and shakey with  the aluminum sheets for roofing.  When I see this house, it makes me treasure my hometown even more than I had.  It’s weird that now I’m living overseas, every thing I saw when I was back in my hometown were a gem to me.  Yeah, I have to admit I miss my home, family and friends very much.

   That is a beautiful shot. It’s amazing the differences in homes from one world to the next isn’t it? Great job on this week’s theme.

   Happy Hunting!

   Hope you can come see my Wooden Shot.

   I love old wooden houses in kampung… I don’t hate the modern house like those in KL but hate to pay the mortgage.

    It’s a charming house. The owners may be poor, but they obviously have pride and are neat and tidy.

    it’s difficult to see houses like that these days…the last time I saw something similar was in the older parts of Port Klang.

    reminds me of my grandmother’s house in butterworth. looks something like that but back then n living in the kampung area, this is common. although i do miss the home-y feeling it had attached to it, i was damn glad that my mother had the builders in to fix a new toilet! lol wasn’t really a fan of the jamban. HAHA!! thanks for sharing dear….i miss home very much too.

    The roof may not be too good now, but that house has been much loved.
