THE DISAPPEARING HERITAGE - RUMAH HELANG TANGKAK [2]



the actual photo of rumah helang tangkak

ooah! what a surprise!. how to express my excitement, when i was so busy searching for old photos of old close friends to be scanned and loaded to my new new cyber club corner i.e FACEBOOK, this important photo of RUMAH HELANG TANGKAK that i had taken on the STUDY TRIP as mentioned in my earlier post on this
building [14 Dis 2008] suddenly showed itself up as though trying to tell me "PLEASE TAKE ME OUT AND SHOW ME TO THE WORLD, as a proof that i was at one time existed".

i know my "defected memory card' seriously destroying my memories of the trip. i still can not remember the actual date of the trip. but the other three photos do give strong evidences of the trip. we were travelling on En. Ahmad's Talib's bike from Labis Segamat [my home town] through Tangkak [some other northern parts of Johor] around some parts of Negeri Sembilan [Gemas, Kuala Pilah, and Seremban] and ended up in Melaka.

as i said earlier , my sketch of the building was not that something to be proud of, but at least my old trusty NIKON FM2 manual SLR camera, had done a GOOD JOB for me to capture this ONLY ONE image of the disappearing heritage building. HAS CAMERA WILL TRAVEL and as what one of the famous old sayings said 'a photograph will tells 1001 stories or a photo worth 1001 words' : This photo [
unfortunately i didn't care to take a closer detail shot of it - this would be my biggest mistakes i admit! or i had no choice then not to waste too many films because they were so expensive for a poor student like me to spare at that time] will be able to tell us how unique the building was and here what we sadly have to say "what a great LOST to our GREAT ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE".
