The painters are now finished and all the scaffolding is gone. The color of the roof is called coconut shell brown. It reminds me of a Malaysian saying "like a frog under a coconut shell." It describes a person who hasn't seen or experienced much. So here we are, living under a coconut shell in Japan!
P.S. Little Brother thinks the roof looks purple. It does look different at different times of the day.

Hi, Hana.
I lived in P.J. (Petaling Jaya) and worked in Shah Alam from 1985-1987. I haven't gone back. I'm sure it has changed a lot!
