This blogspot is a medium to share my thoughts and adventures apart from promoting my books. Below are the books which have been written or authored and published by myself.


"Berpetualang ke Aceh: Mencari Diri dan Erti".

ISBN 983-42031-0-1, Jun 2006


"Berpetualang ke Aceh: Membela Syiar yang Asal"

ISBN 983-42031-1-x, May 2007


"Berpetualang ke Aceh: Sirih Pulang ke Gagang?"

ISBN 978-983-42031-2-2, November 2007


It is interesting to note that while these books were written in Malay it has gained enough attention to merit being part of the collections of the American Library of Congress and National Library of Australia. Look here and here.


While the first three books were published by my own company, the fourth titled "Rumah Azan" was published in April 2009 by a company called Karnadya with the help of the Malaysian national literary body Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka. It features beautiful pictures along with stories behind selected mosques which could be related to the history of Islam and the Malays alongside the formation of the Malaysian nation. Look at the article A collaboration of old collegemates - the book "Rumah Azan".


My fifth book "Ahlul Bait (Family) of Rasulullah SAW and Malay Sultanates", an English translation and adaptation of the Malay book "Ahlul Bait (Keluarga) Rasulullah SAW dan Kesultanan Melayu" authored by Hj Muzaffar Mohamad and Tun Suzana Othman was published early 2010. Look here... My 5th book is out! Ahlul Bait (Family) of Rasulullah SAW and the Malay Sultanates... . For more information check out my Malay blogspot CATATAN SI MERAH SILU.



Like my fourth book "Rumah Azan", the sixth book "Kereta Api Menuju Destinasi" is also a coffee-table book which is published by the company Karnadya with the cooperation of Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (the main Malay literary body in Malaysia). Coming out January 2011 it features pictures and stories on the adventure travelling by train to all of Peninsular Malaysia along with the interesting places which could be reached this way.


My seventh book "Jejak keluarga Yakin : Satu sketsa sejarah" in turn is a coffee-table book which is written, editted, designed and has pictures taken by me. Coming out of the factory October 2011, this book which combines family history with history of places such as Singapura, Johor, Batu Pahat, Muar and in fact the history of the island of Java and England has been reviewed with me interviewed live in the program Selamat Pagi Malaysia at RTM1. Look at the article Siaran langsung ulasan buku "Jejak keluarga Yakin : Satu sketsa sejarah" dan temu ramah di Selamat Pagi Malaysia. Some selected contents have been featured in Sneak peek "Jejak keluarga Yakin : Satu sketsa sejarah".

Phattalung lake from a peninsular on its east side

Continuing from The sea halfway between Nakhon Si Thammarat and Songkhla.



Next we headed inland to get to the tip of a peninsular which extends onto the giant lake of Phattalung.




There is a restaurant with an eating area above water.









The Phattalung lake extends over 50 km long and almost 20 km wide.




This peninsular is situated about halfway down the length.







I don't know the name of the area. It is the only obvious and biggest peninsular on the east side of the lake.



The views shown before are actually northwards. I had to walk for about 200 metres to find good views towards the west.










So this is towards the west side of the lake...










See the mountains or hills in the background? That is somewhere around the city of Phattalung. I know because I have been there at least twice. Look at the follow old article. Phattalung from the highest point at Ho Fah Hotel

And I have also viewed towards this peninsular from that side. It was just in my first visit end of 2017 I thought the lake is called Lake Songkhla. So I labelled my articles as the following :-





Actually this the Phattalung lake but it is attached to the smaller but still vast Songkhla lake to the south. But I still didn't really realised this in  a later visit at the end of 2019. It is just then I labelled the relevant article based on the name of the viewing place which is Lam  Pam. Look at True attraction of Lam Pam.
