A Day at Tanjung Rambutan Waterfall



There are some days in life that stay forever etched in memory — not because of anything grand, but because of the laughter, the company, and the carefree spirit of youth. This photo captures one of those golden days, when we, as ACS students, cycled our way to Tanjung Rambutan waterfall for a picnic.

The journey itself was an adventure — bicycles rattling along the road, voices filled with jokes, and the promise of cool water waiting ahead. When we finally reached the falls, the sight of rushing water over the rocks was irresistible. Within minutes, we were splashing about, soaking ourselves in joy.

The water was refreshing, the rocks warm under the sun, and the forest echoed with our laughter. Arms raised, hands clasped, we celebrated the simple joy of friendship. There was no need for gadgets or plans — just good food in our picnic baskets, open skies above, and the strong bond of friends beside us.

Looking back now, it wasn’t just a picnic — it was a reminder of what friendship truly means. It was about cycling together, eating together, diving into rivers together, and knowing that those shared moments would outlast time.

Great friendship, great memories, and a great day at Tanjung Rambutan waterfall.

Great to have so many young medics from Taiwan in the clinic.  Lots of sharing.  Very enthusiastic bunch.  They are on a study tour and will be visiting the Orang Asli camps.  

Happy learning and Happy holiday!

Pewter Pitcher


Pewter is primarily an alloy of tin, with small amounts of other metals for durability.  Modern pewter is lead-free and safe to use. It consists of 95% tin, along with copper and antimony.  Pewter is easy to shape.

The first pewter pitchers were produced in Europe, where they served wine and provided water during travel, especially on boats and ships.  Pewter pitchers remained popular throughout early American history, serving water, milk, and other beverages in homes.  During the Victorian era, they were used for social gatherings and parties.
