Here are a few pictures of our home in Bukit Sekilau, Kuantan. We have been living in this apartment block for over 5 years now. We have experienced a few water and power cuts, a blocked water pipe, a minor flood in our house, locked ourselves out, and a robbery. But, we are very settled now, those problems are in the past, they don't occur too frequently any more (we've never been robbed or had blocked water pipes or flooding again, and we haven't locked ourselves out!). There is the occasional water cut or 'black-out' but that's about it.
We have some good neighbours around us, we live in a relatively quiet place (as opposed to the bustling Kuala Lumpur where everything is busy, and Singapore where staying with my friend we could hear the MRT trains passing by every 6 minutes or so up until midnight and at the crack of dawn in the morning!).
Bukit Sekilau is a beautiful little area of Kuantan with its vast array of delights, as I've previously discussed. Here are a few views of our apartment block and surrounding area.

Lovely to have that little tour of the area round your apartment block, Duncan. Thank goodness you don't have the trains going by all the time, and I'm glad that it's fairly quiet for you and your little family.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, Duncan. But I like pictures 5 & 6 for the ambience that comes through.
ReplyDeleteThanks Thisisme, I was worried as to whether this would be a little boring as a blog post!
ReplyDeleteordinary malaysian, I like number 5 too!
Lovely photos Duncan; the 3rd and 6th are my favourites. By the way, I know I'm a little late, but congratulations on your new baby girl Leah. She's absolutely beautiful.
