Ipoh: Yesterday And Today

2011-12-20T08:01:00.000-08:00

Ipoh dahulu dan sekarang sudah jauh berbeza. Previously terutamanya kita takkan nampak mat-mat dan minah-minah pendatang kat Ipoh. Ipoh, kalau jalan-jalan kat pekan, selalunya senang terjumpa member. Pusing-pusing naik basikal pun tak ada hal.Tempat hiburan dan shopping komplek pun tak banyak. Abis-abis gi Ipoh singgah Super Kinta, Taman Kanak-Kanak, lepas tu last sekali gi Jubilee Park tonjol bola snooker.
Disini saya postkan beberapa tempat dan lokasi terkenal di Poh dahulu dan bagaimana keadaannya sekarang. Terlebih dahulu saya mohon share beberapa gambar yang saya ambil daripada beberapa blogger. Terima kasih diucapkan.

JALAN JALAN CARI MAKAN

Medan Selera Dato' Sagor. Belakan Ipoh Municipal, bersebelahan Mesjid Negeri. Boleh tahan.

Medan Selera Taman Kanak-kanak waktu malam.

Kedai Kopi Yong Suan - Tempat adanya Nasi Ganja Ipoh yang terkenal. Terletak di Jalan Yang Kalsom Pekan Baru. Berhadapan kedai ini dulu letaknya Stesen Bas Tg. Rambutan. Ramai orang makan atau bungkus specialy waktu lunch. Diberi nama nasi ganja kerana siapa yang dah makan akan ketagih nak lagi lain kali. Saya first time dengar nama ni dari kawan sekolah masa form 6 di Anderson dulu.

Nasi Ganja Ipoh - Masuk paper!Memang sedap, sudah pekena pasti tak lena..

Asal usul Old Town White Coffee -di Pekan Lama Ipoh. dibelakangnya adalah bangunan flat 20 tingkat yang pertama di ipoh ujud lewat tahun 70'an bernama Kinta Heights

2011-12-20T00:26:00.000-08:00

Bazaar Bulat Ipoh - Pusat tumpuan membeli belah di Ipoh pada sekitar 70-80'an mengikut illustrasi kartunis Lat.

Bazzar Bulat Ipoh yang terkenal pada 70-80'an. Perdagangan pakaian dan peralatan sukan, beg dan sebagainya. I bought a World Cup football and English football club jerseys here.

Bekas tapak Bazaar Bulat sekarang. Tempat parking kenderaan dan billboard.

Super Kinta - Shopping Kompleks paling famous kat Ipoh tahun 80'an. masa tu Ipoh tak ada shopping komplek beraneka jenis kecuali Emporium Perak yang agak kecil.

Lam Looking - Dahulu -Tempat membeli belah pertama di Ipoh - Emporium Perak. Bila time raya tiba, ramai la rakyat berduyun ke sini. Seronok dengar lagu raya Hail Amir, Uji Rashid, Sharifah Aini sambil membelek kad raya.

Lam Looking- Sekarang tak silapnya tempat servis kereta.

Komplek Yik Foong. Bersebelahan seberang jalan dengan Super Kinta. Saingan utama Super Kinta tahun 80'an. Masa cuti sekolah hujung tahun 1982 saya pernah bekerja di bangunan ini sebagai buruh semasa pembinaannya.Warna bangunannya tetap sama dari dulu sampai sekarang.

Ipoh : Yesterday And Today -Pawagam

2011-12-17T09:53:00.000-08:00

Sekitar tahun 70 dan 80'an tedapat banyak pawagam di Ipoh. Ada lebih kurang sedozen panggung wayang yang menayangkan pelbagai genre filem. Tiket wayang ketika itu adalah serendah 65sen sahaja. Saya (walaupun kurang mampu -masih sekolah lagi, kaki wayang juga. Boleh katakan semua pawagam di Ipoh ni saya dan masuk. Dari cite omputih,Melayu, Hindustan, Indonesia,Cina, semua saya tonton.

Panggung Ruby. Berhampiran pawagam Cathay dan Lido. Tayang filem Cina Hong Kong seperti lakonan Jackie Chan.

Panggung Rex. Main filem Kungfu Cina dari Hong Kong.

Pawagam Lido sekarang. Dah tak guna lagi. Tempat jualan barangan runcit

Pawagam Lido sekarang berhadapan dengan KFC yang pertama di Ipoh.

Lido- Pada sekitar 70- 80'an menayangkan filem omputih. Antara yang terhebat seperti Saturday Night Fever lakonan John Travolta dan Grease.

Pawagam Grand dan Jubilee Park(Entertainment) adalah dalam satu kawasan. Pawagam Grand sekarang pusat pakaian pengantin sementara Jubilee masih tempat hiburan.

Pawagam Grand dulu kerap tayang cite Hindustan dan Tamil. Dimiliki oleh Shaw Brothers.

Panggung Odeon sekarang. Tempat restoran Cina.

Panggung Odeon dulu. Tayang filem Hindustan, Melayu, Indonesia seperti Hathi Mere Sathi, Sangam, Si Badol, Sundelbolong. Belakangnya terdapat kubur kristian. Bila abis shoe lewat malam dan tengok cite seram seperti sundelbolong terasa seram sejuk aje dalam panggung.

Panggung Sun. Kerap tayang filem koboi seperti lakonan John Wayne.

Pawagam Majestic. Tayang filem Hong Kong seperti lakonan Bruce Lee.

Cathay - Dahulu. Boleh kata tiap2 hari lalu pawagam ini untuk berulang alik rumah-sekolah. Kira pawagam 1st classla kat Ipoh. Hanya tayang filem omputih. Filem lama yang teman pernah tengok sini sepert 'King Kong' tahun 1975. Lain2 sperti Star Wars..

Sekarand dah jadi tempat jual kain baju. Belakangnya sambung The Store.

WC 2010 Final Spain 1 - Holland 0

2010-09-16T21:08:00.000-07:00

Not a best final. Spain deserved to win and they are the best team in this World Cup. But I dissapointed the way Holland play their football. They are far behind in terms of beauty football compare the era of Cruyff, Gullit or Bergkamp.

There's a long time since I'm not watching Hindi film in cinema. I think 'Bobby' and
'Nagin' are the last Hindi film I watch. 1998, I watch this actor in cinema title ' Dil To Pagal Hai',It's feel good. This is the most best song of Khan films.

Film : Aag Gale Lag Jaa 1973
Featuring : Shashi Kapoor, Sharmila Tagore, Aamir Khan (kid)

Sedih jugak tengok klip ini. Nak cerita dalam English nanti eden sorang ajo yang paham. Al-kisahnya si hero (Shashi, orang smekin ) bercinta dengan si heroin anak orang kaya(Sharmila ). Masa bercinta si hero nyanyi lagu ni kat pompuan tu kat salji tepi gaung. Tup..tup.. heroin jatuh dalam salji dan untuk menyelamatkan heroin dari mati sejuk akibat salji si hero memanaskan badan heroin dan berlakulah keterlanjuran tanpa disedari oleh si wanita. Tetiba saja heroin mengandung dan bapa pompuan tu pulak tak suka pada si hero (ala2 antara dua darjat). Pompuan tu pulak rasa hero tadi mengambil kesempatan terhadapnya sehingga menyebabkannya mengandung.Di suruh bapaknya gugurkan kandungan. Hero tadi tanpa pengetahuan heroin mengambil bayi itu, padahal bapak pompuan tu kata pada heroin kandungannya telah digugurkan. Bapak pompuan itu menggugut si hero dan membuat perjanjian jangan dibocorkan rahsia dan menyuapnya dengan wang ringgit dan meghalaunya jauh-jauh.Si hero pun membawa diri dgn bayi kecil entah ke mana.

Jadi lepas sekian lama depa pun jumpa balik. Pompuan tu dah bertunang dengan sorang doktor. Pompuan tu baik pulak dengan anak si hero yang tempang tanpa menyedari itu adalah anaknya sendiri. Tu la dalam klip ini budak tu nyanyikan lagu yang diajarkan ayahnya (mulanya ayahnya tak kasi nyanyi takut pompuan tu perasan) yang juga lagu si hero dan heroin bercinta suatu masa dulu. Heroin tu pulak rasa 'macam pernah ku dengar lagu ini,tapi di mana ya'? Sodihkan? Nak meleleh air liur eden mendongarmya.

This is out of the 80's era. It's in 70's when hindi film hits in Tanah Melayu. That time life is difficult.Stll, once a month my parents sometimes bring us to cinema watching those hindi films ( 65cent per ticket ). I remember my late father carrying my sister and me to school with a bicycle. At 9 years old I started walking to school on my own crossing Ipoh town about 5km. I think young people now don't dare walking in this distance. Even my daughter dont want me to send her to school by motorbike.

Sorry, it's an amateur cameraman, my 6 years old son take it.
Long ago in the 80's, it's very difficult to find a Man Utd jersey,with RM 25 to RM30 that time is quite big.My first football jersy is a Holland orange (1978 World Cup ) and follow by Tottenham 1981, Italy 1982. Nowadays it's very easy to find any jerseys with much cheaper though it's not a good quality.

My Latest Football Skill

2009-11-03T08:05:00.000-08:00

Me and football cannot be seperated. 10 years ago I have a serious knee injury while playing football that took 3 months for me to start walk properly. Sports science expert said operation is the only thing that can repair my knee. but I didn't do it. So I have to treat my knee properly when I'm playing sports.
The desire to play football is still there but the leg is not. I could not speed myself that I feel my knee is not tough to balance my body. Still I can play simple football and and made a little run.
Teringin juga nak join orang lain main bola. Tapi lucu, bila teman warmup timang-timang bola macam ni, ada pulak orang tak suka. Maksudnya tak boleh tunjuk terer kat sini. Maknanya deme tak bagi teman main kat padang diorang pasal jeles tengok skill teman. Ini macam punya orang pun ada ka..
