Growing Up in Trengganu

Ringkasan: Growing Up in Trengganu started life as the blog of Awang Goneng (pen name of writer Wan A. Hulaimi) until it was found to be too good to exist only in cyberspace. Through a collection of memories retold in glorious colour, Awang Goneng evokes the pleasures of a 'kampung' childhood for the benefit of new generations brought up in air-conditioned condominiums. Listen to the 'azan' call to prayer from the 'surau' of Haji Mat Kerinci, order satay with toast for breakfast, meet notablles such as Tun Long the laundry man and Cik Wook Payong Locoh, whose umbrella turned inside out in a strom, and relive the pleasure of hearing the rain hammer down on a corrugated-iron roof while reading The Beano and eating kuih putu.
